The Private Investigator.
Lev hired a top-notch investigator to uncover the truth behind the building's mysterious collapse. Early one morning, the private investigator, Eric, arrived at Lev and Dr. Luke's home. Approaching the front door, Eric was greeted by the butler.
"How can I assist you?" asked the butler, his tone courteous yet curious.
Hi, I'm Eric, the private investigator Lev hired. I'm sorry to come so early, but I need to discuss some important matters with her," Eric explained, looking a bit anxious.
The butler, knowing that Lev was still asleep, decided to speak with Dr. Luke, who was already up and preparing to head to Seoul Hospital for work. "Dr. Luke, the private investigator is here looking for Mrs. Lev," she informed him.
Dr. Luke, adjusting his tie, responded, "Okay, I'll talk to him. Send him to the living room."
Within fifteen minutes, Dr. Luke entered the living room, where Eric was waiting. "Good morning. I'm Dr. Luke, Lev's husband," he introduced himself, extending his hand.
Eric stood up and shook Dr. Luke's hand firmly. "Good morning. I'm Eric, the private investigator hired by Mrs. Lev Deros."
What can I do for you?" Dr. Luke asked, his expression a mix of concern and professionalism.
"I called Mrs. Lev Deros, but she didn't pick up her phone. That's why I decided to come here to deliver some important information about the investigation," Eric explained.
Dr. Luke nodded in understanding. "My wife's phone is always on silent, and she's still sleeping right now. That's probably why she didn't answer your call."
Eric nodded, appreciating the explanation. "I see. I apologize for the early visit, but this information is crucial."
Dr. Luke gestured towards the sofa. "Please, have a seat. I'll wake her up and let her know you're here."
As Eric took his seat, he felt a mixture of anticipation and relief. The truth behind the building's collapse was within reach, and he knew that Lev, with her determination and influence, would make sure justice was served.
Dr. Luke entered their bedroom and gently shook Lev awake. "Honey, sorry to disturb you, but the private investigator you hired would like to talk to you."
Lev, half-awake, murmured, "Okay, give me 25 minutes to freshen up." She made her way to the washroom to wash up and change into casual clothes.
After 25 minutes, Lev, looking refreshed, walked downstairs with Luke and approached Eric, the private investigator. Standing beside Dr. Luke, Lev started the conversation. "Tell me, what did you find out?"
Eric cleared his throat, preparing to deliver his findings. "First, the woman you saw on the CCTV running before the building collapse is Vina."
Lev, slightly impatient, replied, "We already know her name is Vina. Do you know who she is?"
Eric nodded. "Yes, Vina is the ex-fiancée of Engineer Kenneth."
Lev and Dr. Luke exchanged surprised looks. "The Kenneth we know? Annie's boyfriend?" Dr. Luke asked in shock.
Yes, it's him," Eric confirmed. "They were once a couple and almost got married. But they broke up and canceled the wedding. During my investigation, I saw Ken going to Vina's office. According to my contact inside, when Ken arrived, there was a commotion, and they were fighting."
Lev's face tightened with concern. "And what about the building? Have you identified who caused the fire?"
Eric nodded, a grim look on his face. "Yes, I found the man who set the fire. He's a hired assassin, and this kind of job is his specialty."
Hand him over to the police," Lev said firmly.
"Not yet," Eric responded. "He hasn't given us the mastermind behind this. We need to know who orchestrated this entire operation."
Lev took a deep breath, processing the information. "So, Vina and Kenneth are somehow connected to the collapse, and there's a mastermind still out there. We need to find out who it is."
Eric nodded. "I agree. I'll continue my investigation and keep you updated with any new information."
Lev looked at Dr. Luke, her eyes reflecting a mix of determination and worry. "We need to inform Annie about this, but let's wait until we have more concrete details. We don't want to alarm her unnecessarily."
Dr. Luke squeezed her hand reassuringly. "We'll get to the bottom of this, Lev. We'll find the truth and make sure justice is served."
With a renewed sense of purpose, Lev and Dr. Luke thanked Eric and watched him leave, knowing that their quest for answers was far from over.
