ELLIE's POV

I gingerly knocked at the door of my grandfather's office. He had been there the whole day and I wanted to check on him. He wasn't the type to just stay in his office the whole day. He didn't even come home to eat lunch. It's already 3 pm.

"Come in" I heard him say from the inside. I opened the door and I saw him talking to Mr. Moreau. He was the head of the workers at the farm. They looked like they were discussing something important. I was about to say to my grandpa that I'll just come back later when Mr. Moreau stood up. It looked like they already finished talking. Mr. Moreau bid his goodbye to us and then went out of the office.

"Why are you here, chérie? I thought you're going to go out with Céline today?" My grandpa asked me the moment we're alone. Yes, Céline and I had a plan to go out today but she cancelled it the last minute because her cousin Serena came over to her place again and insisted for Céline to go somewhere with her instead.

"We cancelled it. Anyway, is there a problem, papy? You didn't even come home for lunch" I asked and sat on the couch. He stood up and sat on the single sofa across me. He looked problematic and tired. He took his eyeglasses off and then massaged the bridge of his nose before he closed his eyes.

I stood up from my seat and then went behind him and started massaging his shoulders.

"That feels nice" He mumbled.

"Don't overwork yourself, papy"

"I'm okay. There's just some minor problems at the farm" I frowned.

"What happened?" I questioned as I continued massaging him. He heaved a sigh.

"Someone tried to burn our grape plantation. Thankfully, one of our workers saw the culprit but unfortunately he didn't see that person's face. He got away. Then, the truck that supposed to deliver the fruits to Paris got into an accident"

"Oh my God! When did these all happened?" I asked as I stopped what I was doing and then went in front of him. He put his eyeglasses on and then stared at me. He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes.

"The incident at the plantation happened around 5:30 in the morning. Thankfully, Rex was there and saw it before that person could put gasoline to the entire plantation and burn it" Rex was there?

"What's he doing there at that time?" I asked quizzically.

"According to him, he went for a jogging. He told me that wasn't really planning on going to the farm but he saw a man walking towards the direction of the farm who was wearing a cap and jacket. He almost ignored him but when he saw that he was wearing a face mask, he decided to follow him discreetly. When he saw that that person was putting gasoline all over the plantation, he approached him. But he didn't think through before he went closer to that man because he almost got stabbed before that man ran away. He's lucky because he managed to evade the attack but not completely because he had a cut on his arm" My eyes widened. I suddenly felt the urge to see him and make sure that he's okay.
