Chapter 313: Longing
Dion made his arrangements to go back to country D without informing Rizie. Since, there was no way to meet with any of the members of the Yue Clan at that point, plus it would not even be safe to do so, hence he decided to go back and surprise Rizie.
Chad said they could try doing business with Yue Group but then the company had its protocol of not entertaining any incoming offers. It was always the Yue Group that would contact the distributors and same went with the two other clans when it came to managing their businesses.
His trip back home gave them at least a clue and an idea where they could start on. He sighed and asked the flight attendant for a glass of wine. He was too tired and deprived of sleep after reading the complicated history of Mirage. The group was indeed powerful to be able to stay quiet and hidden up to this time. Well some were aware they existed but not all could confirm that fact. The Yue clan was into electronics. No wonder they were good at deleting evidence and had best of the hackers, because almost all technologies worldwide were their products.
Dion heaved another heavy and distressed sigh. If it was really the Yue Clan that was behind everything, Xander and his sister were definitely in deep trouble right now. Their only hope for now was embracing the Quan Clan who was willing to help them.
He took advantage of a nap during the flight with a smile on his face, imagining his girlfriend’s expression once he showed himself on her doorstep as a surprise. It was a good thing that it was the weekend so Rizie would be staying on her condo unit only the entire day.
Rizie was grinning hard as she continued to stare at her hand raised up in the sun rays beaming inside her room. Her ring that she wore in her finger was glistening. "Geez, I should get up now..." she grumbled before jumping out from her bed and then did some stretching.
She ate breakfast first then went for her morning shower. She was picking an outfit from her closet after coming out from showering when she heard some noise. She paused and creased her forehead. She walked out of her room to take a look and saw nothing there. She walked to the living area and kitchen to check because she heard something dropped on the floor.
"Huh?" she drawled seeing a broken glass on the floor. Her heart pounded hard as she became nervous. Why would there be a broken glass when she clearly left the kitchen area clean. Rizie’s eyes widened. Her movement was quick as she grabbed the biggest pan she had in the kitchen.
She cursed because her mobile phone was inside the room and not with her at that moment. She looked at the door that was not far. She was not brave to find the intruder if there was any of course. Her instinct was to run safely towards the door and ask for help. She was running towards the door when she felt strong arms catch her waist.
