As Long As You Love Me

Hurt

After finishing his meeting Carlos walks into his room and sees a file lying on the table and after going through it, he dials his assistants’ number and tells him to come in.

As soon as Jacob comes inside he says, ‘Jacob I am not questioning your ability but are you sure the details mentioned here are accurate?”

Jacob clears his throat and thinks about all the things he had to do to get the information his boss wanted. Being the assistant of the CEO of Citadel international it was not that difficult to get the information. He followed through the CCTV footage in the shopping complex and was shocked to see his boss kissing an unknown woman in the crowded place where everyone was watching but he dare not question him so he got the picture and then he surfed through the internet and got a lot of information about the women. He also visited the store she owned.

“You mean to say she has her flower shop and owns an event management company?” Carlos inquired.

Jacob nodded his head and continued; her name is Lauren James. Her father had passed away 5 years back she has been living with her elder sister Myra James, since then in the Wellington Apartment which is a very sophisticated locality. Their mother Marian James lives in the same apartment but on a different floor. They both own two shops in San Martin. It is a family business which was started by their parents Marian James and Paulo James. It is said that the father was working overseas so she lived with him abroad and came back to San Martin with him 5 years back.

Myra handles all the financial matters of the shop and occasionally dates around but does not have a fixed boyfriend. Lauren is single and is always busy with her work she is the main designer of the events. They both party hard on the weekends and have a good social circle.

I have even checked with their neighbors and the shops nearby, everything is accurate. They are quite successful and have an exceptionally good business relationship with everyone.

Carlos looks at Jacob and says, something is missing somewhere. Do a thorough check once more no matter what it costs.

Okay boss it will be done, by the way, are you going to attend your grandmother’s birthday party?

Yes, I better not miss it, this is the other reason I accompanied grandma to San Martin, Carlos said smiling. But I did not expect to bump into Mia no matter what you say I still believe that she is my Mia and I will get her back no matter what. Cancel all my appointments for tomorrow.

He throws a file in front of him and says, “I know you are curious as to why I am investigating her, I am giving you all the information you need to know, to have a better understanding in getting her information.

Jacob nods his head and thinks this guy can read anyone’s mind no wonder he is known to be a shrewd and ruthless businessman, and no one dares to mess up with him.

After Jacob left, Carlos takes out his phone and dials his grandmothers’ number and an extremely sweet voice replies from the other end “Carlos my darling grandson how come you are calling grandma at this hour.”

He smiled and said, ‘I can call my grandma anytime I want; do you have a problem?’

"All the sweet talks won't flatter me, you cannot even find me a decent granddaughter-in-law and are always busy, what do you want Carlos I am busy with your grandma Adele preparing for my birthday party as all my friends are coming, just tell me what do you want?" Grandma Lia spoke hurriedly.

Carlos laughed and said, Grandma, you don’t have to bother too much, I will personally deal with all the preparation you just leave everything to me.

Grandma paused for a second and said, “Nothing much to do but to think about it I do have something which you can do. I have ordered some flower decorations tomorrow, but we need to go to the salon to get ready for the party can you come a little early and see that everything is organized properly. It would be of great help. Your grandpa has some work, so he won’t be there to give instructions.

Do not worry grandma, I will personally see to it that everything is arranged properly. Then he hung up.
