Chapter 68 - Hidden Organization

A moment earlier...

A receptionist woman turned on an advanced tablet, and with her skill, she turned off all CCTV cameras in the PHY building when she saw a reddish-brown haired girl enter the building.

"Good afternoon Catherine. Mister Steve is resting at his usual place," said the woman with a friendly smile.

But when Catherine got into the lift, the woman's smile vanished, and shook her head. He felt like she wanted to kidnap this girl named Catherine to a remote area and locked her up for the rest of her life. She would make sure the girl wouldn't hang around, and her figure gets caught on any CCTV camera!

The receptionist lady was annoyed. She wished they could infiltrate Catherine's house to get her DNA. That way, they could be sure whether Catherine was the person they had been looking for or not. If it turned out that the girl was not the one they were looking for, then they shouldn't bother removing her trail from Paxton's reach. They would not care about her life or death.

Unfortunately, the organization's leader had given some of the still active members an order that cannot be broken. For the time being, they had to keep Catherine out of Martin Paxton's reach until they confirmed if Catherine was the one they were looking for.

The receptionist lady complained to herself. Just because the girl's face and hair color resembled that of the deceased woman doesn't mean that girl was that woman!

It is impossible for people who have died to rise again. And it is also impossible for Catherine to be the daughter of that woman because she never married or gave birth to a baby girl!

So what made the boss think the woman deserved protection from their organization?

Once again, the young lady at the reception desk sighed and looked over at her tablet to make sure she hadn't done anything wrong. Then she turned on the ground floor and front floor lobby cameras to see who was passing by. More precisely, she wanted to see who would come and enter this building.

Fifteen minutes later, a very familiar car stopped right in front of the building. The woman immediately sent a message to someone. After that, she put her tablet back away, acted as nothing had happened, and greeted a woman in her mid-fifties.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am. Mr. Steve is resting in his office."

"You think I don't know?" replied the woman curtly.

The lady receptionist continued to smile patiently and led the Mistress towards the lift respectfully.

Unfortunately, the woman did not immediately enter as she expected, even though the elevator doors were already open. The older woman was still busy with her cellphone, smiling at who knows what.

The woman in charge of reception began to fidget and stared at the emergency exit, which was located right at the end of the corridor next to the elevator. She hoped the emergency door wouldn't open, and this woman got into the elevator without even seeing Catherine's face.

The woman clenched her fists, trying to hold back not to arouse suspicion as she swallowed nervously. She estimated that the time had elapsed about three minutes since she sent a message to her partner, which meant... less than two minutes from the pretty girl with reddish-brown hair that would come out of the emergency door that she was currently looking at.

If... if only this old lady ever saw Catherine's face... then she would have to do something that would get her fired or, worst of all... go to jail. 

She had to keep her mouth shut so as not to report Catherine's whereabouts to the sly older man who had been their enemy for two generations.

But she was ready to endure it all as long as she could make sure the older woman before her failed in confirming Catherine's existence. She had to fulfill her mission perfectly because she had been trained for it in her youth. She kept trying to hold the elevator door back from closing and wore a flat expression with a racing heart.

She noticed that her lips were rising slightly. It had been a long time since she had felt her adrenaline rush like this. A minute ago, she felt her mission, this time quite boring, and now she was excited that something thrilled happened today.

Her heart was mixed with relief and disappointment as the older woman slipped her cellphone into her luxury bag and walked into the elevator with arrogant steps.

Just as the woman entered, she saw an emergency door open, and out came a beautiful girl walking across two elevators. For the first time, she complained about the very slow movement of the lift doors.

Get closed faster!! Exclaimed her as if the door would listen to her.

The woman froze in place and realized that Catherine passed through the second elevator while the door was still ajar. She wondered if the older woman saw the girl? Had the woman seen Catherine's face?

Even before her question was answered, the elevator doors suddenly opened rapidly. She also reacted quickly and immediately blocked the older woman from pursuing Catherine.

"What is it, Madame? Is there something wrong? Your face looks ashen. Is there anything I can help you with? Do you want to take a rest?"

Nimbly, the receptionist girl moved to the right and left according to the older woman's movements to block her from passing.

"Insolent! How dare you disturb me!" the old woman was impatient and pushed the young woman so hard that she fell.

In fact, the girl had figured Catherine must have disappeared and let herself fall so easily even though she could have survived with her ability.

The young woman who fell noticed that the brown tape on her hand's back was exposed, showing a tattoo. The tattoo was a picture of two lions who appear to be fighting.

There was an image of a crown in the middle of the lion's heads.. The young woman immediately covered her tattoo with plaster without anyone knowing.
