Chapter 223 Special - : #9
Shrouded by the darkness her office provided after lights out, with her eyes glued to the bright screen of her laptop, Anastasia replayed the CCTV footage she had gotten from Danco.
She studied the man’s movement, how he had approached Logan, his face shaded by the black hoodie he wore. She paused the video during moments of their interaction, trying to read the lips of Logan.
It was clear he rejected at first. He even looked appealed by the idea. But then his eyes suddenly showed the interest that had sipped into his mind after heading something that he hooded figure had told him.
What could it have been? Anastasia wondered as she watched the part of their interaction where Logan had indeed offered the hooded figure payment, in the form of raw cash, but he rejected, handed the drive over to Logan and walked out.
Smartly, the hooded figure had walked in the opposite direction waiting until the attention on his had lessened before he came back and entered the black car, which belonged to Lloyd, which had been parked on the other end.
Anastasia paused the video.
In the split second window that she had been given to see Lloyd’s face, she tried her very best to examine his expression, wishing to decipher what he was thinking when doing something like this.
But she couldn’t.
She couldn’t read his face or his expression.
“What exactly are you thinking Lloyd Riley?” She whispered, a hand coming up to run it’s way through her hair, pushing annoying strands back into place.
Once again, she resumed watching the video, more intensely this time around as she felt that she was missing something. It wasn’t normal for a boss and his employee who he claimed to have fired, yet didn’t exist in their data base, to take a nice drive down to their rivaling company and have a chat, only to have the employee sell a product for his boss.
