Chapter 217 - The Stalker

Mark's tone became tensed when he senses Alex's tone became colder. "So where is she now?" Alex asked as he put the photo in the inside pocket of his jacket.

"Um... that... I haven't found out yet." Mark grew more tensed.

"Tsk... here I thought your performance was quite impressive since you found out information that my grandfather's people weren't able to find. What a disappointment... " at that moment, the temperature in the room seemed to dropped at its lowest.

After a long silence, a cold voice was heard again. "I want you to find where she lives, her schedule and daily routine as soon as possible. Don't show your face to me until you gave me an answer." Alex said as he waved his right-hand signaling Mark to leave.

Alex reached for the glass of rum that he put on the cocktail table earlier when he took the photo and drunk it.

"Boss, what do you plan to do with her?" A hunky tanned man named Greg asked him but he received a piercing look from Jeric, Alex Ogden's assistant, and right-hand man. Among all the men in the room, Jeric knew his Boss more than anyone else. And the way he looked at the girl in the photo, he is certain that his Boss wants this girl. And whenever he wants something, he would not stop until he gets it. He would even kill those that would try to stop him. And most importantly, he doesn't like it when he is being questioned.

Alex stared at Greg with a piercing look. Greg was frozen in his place when he realized what he just did, beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead. He's dead. He sure is dead. He thought to himself. He gulped as he waited for his punishment when a ringing of the phone interrupted the stillness inside the room.

It was Jeric's phone. He took out the phone from his pocket and glanced at it. A look of surprise appeared on his face. "Boss... it was your grandfather."

When Alex heard that it is his grandfather who is calling, his face darkened. He took the phone from Jeric's hand and answered the call.

The person on the other line said something which Alex replied with an "Hm.." and "Okay". The call takes only a couple of seconds. Then Alex hanged up and pass the phone over to Jeric.

With an impassive look, Alex said, "Grandfather's coming."

"The Old Man's coming?" Jeric can't help but express his surprise. Everyone was obviously surprised as well. It's been ten years since the Old Man left Lotus City. So, everyone was wondering why did he suddenly decide to come back. Did something terrible happen? But that is impossible. If there is any, they would have known it, after all, since the Old Man left ten years ago, their 'business' in the country was taken over by Alex. Since then everything is going smoothly.

Downstairs Lance has already forgotten about Alex Ogden. He was already sitting on a couch surrounded by a group of socialites talking and drinking, he is definitely now the center of everyone's attention. Then he heard a familiar voice from his back. He heard the familiar voice of a girl who ordered Rendezvous's most expensive cocktail. Lance turned and saw another familiar figure.

"Miss Lily?" Lance called the girl with an amused tone.

Lily who was surrounded by her socialite friends was frozen in her seat when she heard a familiar voice calling her name.
