Chapter 90: Chapter 90
Leo looked at the lery as if he could take control of Patrick's current condition, at first, but the confident look of Leo making the lery finally left Leo alone at Patrick's door.
Leo went back to knock on Patrick's door, which was returned with a toss from inside, but Leo didn't stop there.
"Patrick can I talk to you for a second," Leo said
"Leave this house, never see my family again, I want to live" Patrick shouted from there leaving Leo with a deep breath after which he breathed slowly.
"If you still want to see your parents alive and well, you should be willing to work with me, have you ever seen me ignore all my employees when they're in trouble. "Leo's words left Patrick speechless from inside, not answering a word of Leo's.
"So open the door quickly, we need to talk about what you're dealing with, I know you're threatened by someone and messing with your life, and right now you have no choice but to live with me, only I can save your life and your family's.
Leo finally went in to look around Patrick's dark room, the stuff was everywhere and Patrick was all fucked up with some bruises on his face.
Leo then pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Patrick, now sitting on his bed, hugging his knees, and he could see how much fear he was now experiencing.
"look at me" Leo said made Patrick slowly raise his face to Leo's eyes who looked him in confidence.
"You can count on me, you know I can't do anything to the perpetrator if you cooperate with me." Leo said again, make Patrick come back, bow his head as if by thinking of which way he should go, cower in fear or cooperate with Leo to catch the perpetrator and expose the whole thing.
"So I hope you can work with me and tell me everything you know" and then Leo makes Patrick look again at his boss as if looking for reassurance that he can count on Leo to get through the pressure he's been under.
"I was threatened, they threatened to kill me and my family," Patrick said with a tremulous voice filled with fear as he revealed the reason for his current mayhem.
"They're threatening you because you know something's harming them, can you explain it all to me?"Leo's remark made Patrick back in doubt and threw himself back down on his knees sobbing, as if he was really depressed about what to do now.
"I'm sure you know something about the night alana picked up someone, the same one that threatened you." Leo said, made Patrick stare at her with a few dead eyes.
"I noticed your bike was not far from alana's car when alana came out of the store and it was recorded clearly on the CCTV, so I know that the key to the problem I'm currently supposed to solve is you." Leo went back to ruffling Patrick's frustration.
Why did he have to come to alana's bakery to cause himself to be so depressed, to live in fear when his life was on the edge.
"That night" Patrick said made Leo right his seat to listen to every detail Patrick would say.
While in Leo's mansion, Alana was enjoying a juicy fruit snack while watching television in the living room, but Alana's movements interrupted when the butler approached her.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. We have a call from the bakery, but the phoneworkers say they can't be reached," said the hostess, "she made Alana immediately raise herself up to take the call the butler gave her.
"Hello" Alana answered.
"Sorry to interrupt the evening, ma 'am, there was a slight problem at the shop, and I called my cell phone so far," camilla said, leaving Alana's phone in her room.
"I'm sorry, I forgot my phone. what's wrong? "Asked Alana.
"We have a client who's supposed to cancel the order tomorrow we're supposed to send in a huge amount." camilla obviously made Alana frown.
"How can I, what's the reason for canceling all the orders?"
"I don't know, but the customer asked for all the money in his face," he said again, making Alana stand in her seat, reflecting some frown on her report.
"It can't be, if he wants his money back he has to see me in person, it's obvious the order can't be canceled let alone a big number of tomorrow, what they want to make our shop go bankrupt" he blurted in his irritated tone as he walked up to the room to see an incoming email report about his bakery report.
Alana checked in one by one and it was also obvious that tomorrow there would be one customer ordering a dessert as well as a large amount of cookies.
"Did someone named Brenda cancel her reservation? "Alana asked when she saw her email and said yes right away.
"Furthermore he, of course, couldn't just cancel and demand a down payment back, he had to see me if he wanted his deposit back, I had to listen to why he would cancel the order unilaterally" She said.
"Miss Brenda's desperate need at the moment to collect her deposit on her face" camilla replied camilla made Alana seem to not have to bother to schedule her meetings with an incognate customer.
"It's good to hold him until I come, in twenty minutes I'll be at the cake shop" he said while looking at the clock on the roof, it's seven o 'clock at night, alana is able to see him at this time, but he didn't forget to send a message to Leo and tell the butler to get the car ready for their new driver.
As Leo said alana should currently not drive alone and should go anywhere with the driver Leo actually took from the office driver, because he still couldn't find a replacement for Patrick to be a personal driver for alana.
It only took alana ten minutes to get ready and go straight to the bakery and meet her clients who suddenly canceled her big order, Alana was really furious with the type of customer that makes one's efforts so difficult.
