He was in a cab going to his office as that was the only place he knew he would have the space he needed to think. Going to his home would be pointless as the nosy butler would be all over him like a dog trying to sniff out what the problem was, and that was the last thing he wanted at the moment.

"Where are you? We need to talk," Harry said with a note of urgency in his voice as he picked up his phone and car key, and walked out of his bedroom, leaving his apartment.

"I\'m on my way to the office... You can meet me there," Tom said, and then added, "But first, could you arrange for someone to pick Lucy from the company\'s hospital? The car is there, I just need someone to take her home," Tom asked, making Harry frown.

"Hospital? Why is she there? And why are you not there to pick her up yourself?" Harry asked as he got into the car and turned on the car\'s ignition.

"It\'s complicated. Just help me get someone to be there before she wakes up, and you can give her the day off," Tom added as the cab pulled to a stop in front of the company.

"Alright, I will do just that. I\'ll meet you at the office in ten minutes," Harry said before hanging up.

Tom got out of the cab, and after paying the driver, he headed in the direction of his private garage and elevator.

"Tom?" The beautiful lady who the private investigator had spoken with the previous day, waved at him.

Tom stopped and turned around when he heard his name. He looked around him just to be sure that he was the one she was waving at, as he didn\'t recognize her as someone he was acquainted with.

"Hi?" Tom asked with a polite smile as he dipped one hand in his pocket and walked towards her when he noticed that she was barely able to walk in the heels she was wearing. He couldn\'t help but wonder why women liked to wear things they weren\'t comfortable in.

She smiled at him as he approached her, "I\'m sure you don\'t know me. I\'m Cora," she said extending her hand to him for a handshake.

Although Tom wasn\'t in the mood for any conversation he shook her hand, "You already know my name."

"Yeah. Uhm, did you get to meet the cab driver yesterday?" She asked with a curious smile as she held on to his hand.

"What cab driver?" Tom asked with a slightly raised brow as he pulled his hand away from the handshake.

"The cab man that brought you to work. He said you left your package in his car, so he was looking for you," she explained with a smile pasted on her lips.

"Yesterday? What time?" Tom asked with a slight frown, and she gave him a nod.

"During the lunch break."

"Did he mention my name? What did he say to make you believe that I was the one he was looking for?" Tom asked curiously, not liking the feeling he was having about this.

She narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips as though she was trying to remember something, and then she shook her head, "He didn\'t exactly know your name. He only described your features," she explained.

"And the package he claimed I left in his cab, did he give it to you or to anyone else?" Tom asked thoughtfully, and she shook her head.

"I was informed you weren\'t in, so related the information to him, and offered to help you keep the package, but he insisted he wanted to hand it to you himself and left almost immediately," she said, and Tom gave her a nod as he turned his head to look at Harry who had just arrived and seemed to be in a hurry.

"Thanks for the information, I need to have a word with Mr. Harry if that is all," Tom said as he quickly left her and walked in quick strides to catch up with Harry before she could say anything else.

"You just got here?" Harry who had been expecting to meet Tom in his office, asked as he turned around to make sure no one was watching them.

"Don\'t look around like that," Tom chided, walking slightly behind Harry so that no one would suspect them of being close, "Did you get someone to pick her up?" Tom asked, and Harry nodded as they both continued to walk.

No one paid them any attention, as it looked like they were having a normal conversation between one of the company\'s drivers and the CEO\'s right-hand man.

"Yeah. I sent her secretary to pick her up from the hospital. What happened to her? Hold on, before that, I need to talk to you about your sister," Harry said once they both walked into the elevator.

Thankfully they were alone in the elevator going to their floor, so Tom turned to look at him, "Jade? What about her? She called you already, right?"

"Yes, she called. Something strange happened while we were on the phone. I heard the sound of a gunshot..."

"A gunshot? Is she okay?" Tom asked, looking alarmed as he reached into his pocket to take out his phone.

"She wasn\'t hurt, but she said she received a present from a displeased defendant. I don\'t think it was something pleasant as I could hear the fear in her voice even though she told me not to let you know," Harry explained, and Tom paused.

"She asked you not to let me know?" He asked, looking at Harry who gave him a nod.

Tom sighed, "She is too stubborn and self-sufficient for her own good," Tom said as the elevator bell dinged, and they both stepped out of it and headed for his office.

"So what are you going to do about it?" Harry asked looking around to make sure they were both alone in the hallway before opening the door that led to the CEO\'s office.

"Me? I don\'t think I have to do anything. What is on the schedule for the remaining days of this week?" Tom asked as they both walked past Lucy\'s desk and walked into his office.

Once they walked into the office, they both sat down, facing each other, while Harry looked at Tom curiously, "Just a couple of meetings here and there, why? Do you want to travel?"

"No. I\'m hoping you will. I will take care of the company in your absence. I need you to help me make sure that Jade is alright," Tom said, making Harry turn to look at him like he has just lost his mind.

"You want me to go and take care of your sister? Me?" Harry asked, pointing to himself incredulously.

"Who else can I ask? Apart from Bryan, you are the only other person I can trust to look after my sister. Don\'t forget that she asked you not to tell me about it," Tom pointed out reasonably.

"And how am I going to explain the fact that I left her brother\'s company to babysit her without her knowing that you are aware? You sister is smart, you know?" Harry asked with a slightly raised brow.

"You could tell her that you\'re on leave," Tom said matter of factly, "Besides, since you\'re helping her find her witness, you should be near her," Tom pointed out with a shrug as though he had everything figured out.

"You are not even scared that I might hit on your sister? I am a full blooded single man, remember?" Harry said, wanting to knock some sense into Tom.

"Even better, as she is single too," Tom said with a grin, as though he liked the idea of Harry hitting on his sister.

"Did something happen to your brain that I don\'t know of?" Harry asked, looking at Tom with a concerned frown.

"Quit looking for excuses and just go. You need the break anyway. I\'m very worried about her, and I really need you to be there to help me make sure she is okay," Tom pleaded making Harry sigh, "You know I would do the same for you," Tom added.

"You don\'t know that," Harry said dryly.

"Sure I don\'t. But you do," Tom said with a grin.

"How do you intend to run the company in my absence while also playing around as Lucy\'s driver and boyfriend?" Harry asked, wanting to change the subject.

"Uhm... About that, I think I\'m going to take a break for some time..."

"A break? What do you mean?" Harry cut in with a confused frown.

"Just let her know I quit my job. Get her someone else to drive her around, or get her a new driver if she needs one," Tom said, standing up from his seat to go stand beside his office window.

"Why the sudden change? Did something happen between you both? And why is she in the hospital?" Harry asked curiously.

"She isn\'t feeling too well. Nothing happpened. I just need some time to sort out some things in my head," Tom said with a sigh before turning to look at Harry, "How soon can you leave?"

"You are sure you want me to go?" Harry asked, looking at Tom who was massaging his temple like his head was aching.

"Very sure."

"Then I will leave immediately."

"Thank you. Before you leave, I need you to help me do a couple of things. Could you help me reach the agent who got us the apartment next to Lucy\'s? Ask them to put it up for sale," Tom said, mako Harry\'s brows pull together in a frown.

"For sale? Are you moving in with her, or do you want to move out?"

Tom chuckled at Harry\'s question, "I\'m moving out. I think it is best I stay away from her for some time."

"Then you can just give her break without selling the place," Harry pointed out.

"I no longer need the house. Just get rid of it. Also, I think someone is sniffing around the company for information about me, could you help me look into it before you leave? I learned the man was here around lunch break, and he talked to the lady I was speaking with earlier. I think her name was Cora," Tom said, making Harry roll his eyes.

"What would you do without me?"

"Nothing.. And that is why I trust you to take care of my sister too."
