I quickly slouched in the driver's seat of the car. I knew the car was fully tinted and there's no way Jessica could see me inside but the intensity of her gaze tells me otherwise.

I gulped as she walked towards the car.

What the hell? Does she know I was following her?

I held my breath when she suddenly fixed her curly hair while looking at the window of the passenger's seat.

I chuckled.

I saw Cindy, her personal assistant come to her and tapped her back.

They talked for a while before hopping in Jessica's van.

"Almost." I told myself as I watched them leave the parking lot of Jessy's condo.

I stayed for a straight fifteen minutes before starting the engine of my car.

Dad and I will meet at my office before lunch. I sighed. I really hoped this time I could persuade him.

"Sir Ethan." The valet returned the keycard of my Tesla car.

"Thank you, Dad. Here." I gave him a tip before opening my car. "I'd like a white honda civic on my next schedule. Do you have an available unit?" I asked.

"Yes Sir. We have available tinted white honda civic." He knew my preference well.

"Cool." I nodded and sat in the driver's seat.

I was renting a car frequently because of my other job and to check on Jessy from time to time.

Jessica's my younger sister. I don't want her to know that I was following her like a freak stalker.

I arrived at my building earlier than expected. The third model of Tesla reached my expectations.

"Boss E.T, your Dad's waiting for you in your office." Edmund, my secretary approached me as I stepped out of the car.

"Okay. Please reschedule all of my appointments today." I said and checked the email that I received from the base.

We have a new case.

"Noted Sir. Do I need to order lunch for you and Sir William?" He asked while following me inside the building.

"Don't bother. We will head out before lunch. Did you finish the contract that I requested yesterday?" I asked.

"Yes Sir. I will just print and bring it to your office." He replied and pushed the elevator button.

"Good. And please bring two cups of coffee. No sugar for Dad." I said and entered the elevator.

He followed me and pushed the button again for the door to close.

"Noted Sir. Anything else?" He asked.

"That's all, Edmund. Thank you." I answered.

I remember the first time I interviewed Edmund for his position. That was eight years ago. We were just renting a small office in BGC back then. He was applying for an internship. He was so nervous that in the middle of the interview he passed out. I was actually impressed by the way he presented himself so I gave him a chance even though he was still an undergraduate.

"Today's the final interview for the three civil engineers, right?" I remember all of a sudden.

"Yes sir, they're in the meeting room. But don't worry, we could reschedule it next week." He said looking at his phone.
