Chapter 70: Chapter 70

The office had soon become a chamber of stillness and for the time being, it seemed as if both Wesley and Andrew were lost in their thoughts.

Yeah, that actually was it as the Croxxed X team who had come in to report had left. Now the weight of the new information they had just learned beared down.

Wesley's hand reached for his phone on the table before him and his slender fingers wrapped around it to pick it up. He wanted to check and probably delve into the depths of the email the Croxxed X team had sent regarding Cindy Auston.

Not like he is in any way interested in any aspect of her life, but he needs to learn a few things during this investigation in which his main aim aside from rescuing Sarah and dealing with the prime minister is helping out Daisy Louis; the woman who had unknowingly caught his attention and even he is still in denial of.

After all, he isn't one to first be interested in a woman.

Now Daisy is also part of why he is this interested in the case. Why something almost as fickle bother him this much, almost weighing him down

Going through his mail and wanting to click on the newest inbox there, Abdrew suddenly cleared his throat, breaking the brief silence.

Edward had a girlfriend before he rose to fame. Even before he crossed paths with Daisy Louis," Andrew began, his voice carrying a tone of reminiscence.

Hearing this, Wesley raised his head to look at Andrew, his brows constricted and his eyes carrying a hint of awe.

Andrew shrugged. "Her name is Thelma."

"Whoa, what Thelma?" Wesley blurted out.

"I've never heard of her."

There were now so many things Wesley found deceptive about this said Edward, Daisy's boyfriend. First, it's what he found out about this guy and his girlfriend's best friend.

Well at least, they don't know she is a devil, or does he know?

Now, he had a girlfriend...

Okay, that's possible and normal but then...

Now Wesley so wanted to know some details.

Does Daisy not love this guy so much? But now he doesn't seem like a faithful person.

Now, curiosity etched across his face.

"Okay, I want to know. Does Daisy know this girl? Did she snatch him from her or Edward is deceptive? Did they even have an official break up before being with Daisy or whichever it is, what's the story?"

Andrew leaned back in his chair, his eyes drifting. Now he knows, that his boss is interested in Daisy Louis. There are no two ways to it...

He wants to help Daisy. He likes this actress.

Andrew found it surprising but who was he to question his boss?

"Thelma? I honestly don't know much," Andrew began.

"But she was the one who knew Edward before he became the A-listed artist that he is now. She was his girlfriend when he was just this poor struggling artist in Queensland. And according to what I learnt, they were inseparable back then."

Wesley raised an eyebrow, a silent prompt for Andrew to continue. The atmosphere in the room shifted slightly.

"I don't know much about the details of it, but it was a music festival that brought Edward to the limelight. Daisy Louis had attended one of Melbourne's music scenes at Collingwood and not to bore you of the details, Edward and his cousin won fifth place. But I have this feeling in my hunch that Daisy has a hand in then having a position."

Hearing that last statement, Wesley raised his brows in amazement. He seemed so amused but then something flashed in his eyes and even Andrew saw it.

His boss was jealous.

"Whoa," Wesley scoffed. He did feel that pang of jealousy even though he would not admit it.

Learning that Daisy actually went all that out for that boy made him feel an unexplainable feeling.

'Why won't she even respect herself? That guy is even younger than her tsk!'

"Who asked who out?" Wesley suddenly asked and Andrew wanted to burst out laughing at his question but he immediately refrained himself.

'Whoa,' Andrew was so surprised within. 'My boss really is becoming a freak. How am I supposed to know that?'

Anyways, Andrew calmly replied. "I don't actually know."

Wesley too suddenly realised how weird his question was and immediately attempted to wrap up all that talk.

"Alright now, in short, Edward has an ex that was with him when he was nothing. So...?" He asked.

"Why did you even ever go investigating that in the first place? I want to know the hang of it."

Andrew pursed his lips.

"When that sex tape was leaked, I threatened Edward with that information and he made the post he made," Andrew confessed and the next second, Wesley was staring at Andrew with wide eyes.

"You were the one that made Edward make that post?" Wesley asked in shock and Abdrew nodded positively at that.

"Why?"

"You were still grieving about your girlfriend and you did that. How does that even make sense? Make me understand. And you'll tell me why you're just saying all these..."

Andrew could not help but breathe out a sign.

"Yeah go on," Wesley scoffed, dropped his phone and folded his arms.

"I had found Rose suspicious cause Sarah started to behave weirdly when she suddenly got close to her. I just thought she and maybe Cindy were working for someone. Not like Thelma is in the entertainment industry. I investigated a little about her but found nothing or anything. So that stuff about Daisy, I wanted to do something to disrupt them, 'cause it seemed to revolve around the same set of those wicked people."

When Andrew finished, he shrugged.

"And yeah, is it not true?" Andrew threw Wesley a sidelong gaze. "Aren't they the same people?"

"Even turns out to be something bigger than I thought. The whole masks and coasters shit."

"Do you have a picture of this Thelma?" Wesley suddenly asked and Andrew nodded.

"Yes, I have a few," he replied.

"Let me see them..."

Hearing this, Andrew picked up his phone and rose to his feet. Then he went all the way over to where his boss sat, and as he did, he scrolled through his gallery for the few pictures of her that he had.

When he got to Wesley, he handed over his phone to him.

The was nothing special about her, especially the first picture he saw. She was wearing a vest and a pair of faded jeans. She looked averagely pretty with her dark grey eyes and even her dark hair was loosely parked over her head into a messy bun. Her complexion is a little bit tan.

The low quality and the background alone where she took the picture hinted that she is an ordinary lowly country girl.

Dark grey eyes...

Wesley scrolled through the next two pictures uninterestedly, but just when he attempted to return the phone to Andrew, the third picture there caught his attention.

That's cause there was something different now. He did not know if it was cause it was of better quality but she was no longer looking the slightest bit of tan.

The was looking really white and radiant. Her hair was now blonde with fringes, with her new bob hair gently brushing her shoulders.

Her eyes were still dark grey but...

Wesley suddenly looked up at Andrew as something something crossed his mind in that instant.

"Where is this Thelma right now?" He asked.

"I don't know," Andrew shook his head negatively with his brows furrowed. 'What's my business with that anyways?'

"I want to know where she is right now," Wesley blurted out causing Andrew to look at him in confusion.

"For..?"

But seemingly ignoring his question, Wesley dropped Andrew's phone, picked back his own phone and rang one of his men. When the call connected, he immediately placed it against his ear.

"I'll send some pictures to you now," Wesley stated.

"I need you and the team to find out where she is and report back to me before nightfall," he ordered.
