Chapter 4 4

"I'm out for lunch." Dinah say as she take her coat which she spread around the chair and her bag as she walk out of the office with everyone gazing at her as they mumble after she left.

She hailed a cab as she entered it, her phone beeped and she took it out of the coat pocket, she unlocked it seeing that August sent a text message.

She smirk after reading that he is already at the restaurant they usually meet up and he typed that she shouldn't disappoint like how she has done yesterday, after visiting her sister in the hospital.

Dinah typed back that she is almost there as she sent it to August before putting her phone back in the coat pocket.

She looked out the window breathing in as the cabman made a U-turn.

Minutes later, she alighted from the cab and paid the driver his requested amount before walking to enter the restaurant.

As she enters, she looks at the left side of the restaurants, she sees August as she walks to him.

"Hi," She said as she sat in her seat.

"How are you doing?" August asked giving her the restaurant menu

"Good, you too?" She asked back, staring at the menu.

"Yeah. What would you like?" August question

"Uh... Hamburger and ice cream." She answers dropping the menu to the table

"I will take the same" August said as he pressed a button on the table and within some seconds a waiter came to receive their orders and went to pick them.

"How is your first day at work going?" August ask conversationally

" Uh. Simple, not stressful yet. " Dinah answered." Hearing from Nancy? " She ask concerned and August put on a sad look

" What? Is your wife okay?" Dinah questioned

"I guess not. She lost her parent" August tell

"What!" Dinah whisper yell. " How? What happened? When?"

"They were murdered. The same day you lost your parents. " He replied as Dinah look shocked

The waiter came with their orders as he served them before walking away.

"She must be going through a lot." Dinah say down

"Come on. You are also going through a lot," August says." Dig in"

Dinah nods sighing as she picks up her hamburger.

"Oh, less I forget." August says as he opens his suitcase bringing out a file, dropping it on the table.

"Here is the record of people that visited your parents on the day they were murdered. " He informed as Dinah took it, munching the burger that was in her mouth.

"Tell who are the first two people you suspect, we will be beginning the investigation from there. " He said and Dinah nod

" Do you have a second copy? I would love to take this with me." She say raising her brows

" Sure, take your time. " August replied and Dinah smiled, putting it inside her bag.

"Thank you." She appreciates

"C'mon, don't be formal. Enjoy your lunch. "

" Yeah, same here. Dinah answered as she ate the ice cream.

Dinah walks back to the station as she enters the elevator pressing the third floor.

She breathed out a sigh as the elevator made it sound till it reached the third floor.

It open and Dinah walk out of it as she walk to the office

The office seems quite peaceful as she walks to her desk.

She hung her coat on the chair and dropped her bag on the table as she took her seat.

She switches on her computer seeing that she has an email message.

She opened it, seeing that it was from Mr. Ethan, her boss.

Reading it, he informed her that he is throwing a welcome dinner party in her honor in a club and she should be there at 7.pm, he as well sent her the address.

Dinah scoff after reading it,

She thought he was such a strict boss, and throwing a party or whatever seems meddling to her which she doesn't appreciate.

She unzipped her bag, bringing out the file August had given her as she opened it.

And look through it, seeing the names of five people who had visited her parents before their death.

She was confused about who to suspect, since she has spent most of her life traveling around the world and has no clue of who her parents are, best friends or enemies.

But one thing is for sure, that they once had an enemy connection with the Sebastian's.

Dinah looked at the file to check whether this Sebastian had visited her parents on the day of their death and it turned out he had.

She quickly went to her google search and typed the man name.

It brought out the list of the companies run by Sebastian and how they deal illegally without getting apprehended.

She saw the numerous illegal dealing of Sebastian and his gang.

Dinah became so glued to this that she started jotting some points down about Sebastian which she already believed he might be the one who murdered her parents.

She went ahead in knowing the person who posted it and found out that it was a journalist, she clicked on to find out who the journalist may be, before getting interrupted.

"Miss Dinah." Alexa called and Dinah look at her

"Uhm... Aren't you going to the welcome party Mr. Ethan threw for you? " Alexa asked

" Is it... " Dinah almost stuttered as she looked at the time, realizing it was six thirty already.

She sighs, "Are you going also?" She ask and Alexa nod.

"Okay." Dinah says as she picks up the file, putting it to her bag and the note which she has recorded all about Sebastian as she shut down the computer.

"Let's go together then." Dinah says while wearing her coat as she takes her bag walking away with Alexa.

"Which is the best though." Jared smirk

"It's a long journey, go take a rest, I'll be sending someone to serve you dinner " Pascal said

" Sir, but---"

" Come on, this is a good chance to get over Veronica. Look into the great club in town, I will be touring around " he tell walking away and Pascal breathed out

" Unbelievable" he mutters.

Jared made a tour around the mansion and saw that it was really up to his standard as he sighs a relief walking to the sitting room.

"Found out about any good club yet?" Jared shouted as Pascal walked to him.

" Yeah, it's a new one." Pascal answered

"Oh, that's great. Come on, let's go party and don't be an introvert. " Jared whine and Pascal chuckle

" I'm not. " Pascal protest

"You are. You've never gotten laid nor club before." Jared tell

"Yes, because all I do is get to follow you around." Pascal tell as he walk out of the sitting room to the compound with Jared

"Wanna blame me now." Jared scoff entering the car

"I'm not. Just starting out some reason." Pascal says already inside the car.

" Let go check out how Brooklyn is like."
