Chapter 191: The Biggest Property Of All
Keira was resting her head on Zach’s chest when Zach grabbed her hand as he clasped it with his. After their intimate love making on the sofa, the two continued on the bed afterwards.
"How’s your work?" asked Zach after a moment of silence. Keira sighed and answered, "I heard Gavin was planning to resign. His position as Thea’s partner will be vacant. They are not sure whether to get another male anchor or a female one to fill the position this time."
"Hmm, that’s a good opportunity for you then. Show them that you’re far better than all of the other anchors. Honestly, I will feel more at ease if you could just stay inside the office instead of going out to do field works..." Zach stated his opinion in a serious tone. He could not bear to see Keira do her job in dangerous areas like some shady neighborhoods where violent gangs battles or fights would break out between the police and some criminals, or even an active warzone.
"Ohh, you need to know something important," Keira suddenly cried out as she almost forgot that she had promised Thea to inform Zach about her situation. Then she narrated all the details about Thea and her connection with Mr. Big.
"If you succeeded in bringing down Mr. Big, Thea would be freed too. She’s willing to cooperate and tell us everything that she knows about him. I think she can be of help to the mission. She could infiltrate that organization from the inside. I will act as a bridge between you and Thea, because she said Mr. Big is always keeping his eyes on her. So it would be highly inadvisable for the two of you to be seen together." explained Keira.
She heard Zach chuckle as he spoke, "Hmm are you sure it’s because of safety reasons that Thea and I should not be seen together?" Keira raised her head and looked at Zach with an arched brow as she scoffed at him, "General Lim, do you think you married a petty-minded wife?"
Zach gave her a stern look as he answered, "So are you saying that I’m petty because I forbid you to see Jeru alone?"
"Wait, how did Jeru suddenly pop up in this conversation?" Keira retorted. Zach did not respond and remained silent that made Keira roll her eyes.
"Well I trust you, of course, it’s just that I’m not comfortable with how Jeru looks at you." explained Zach in a low tone. As a man, he could sense that Jeru still had something for Keira. The tender look in Jeru’s eyes whenever he would look at her was a dead giveaway.
