chapter 155

Outside the bar, Mark impatiently waited for Lucy. He sighed as he looked inside the bar for the hundredth time by now. The executive from the Enigma Steel company was already inside at the bar counter. He might leave if they got too late.Where is this dumb woman? Did she fell asleep?From a distance, he finally saw Lucy rushing towards him, huffing and puffing.Mark glared at her. "What were you doing?"She gasped. "I am sorry. It's a long story," she sobbed.Eric dropped her at Molly's house and as soon as he left, Lucy had to take a cab to the bar. It was a roundabout way, so she got late.He sighed. "Forget it. Let's not waste more time."They stepped inside and the loud music made Lucy feel as if she will turn deaf.So loud! We can still hear the music with a lower volume!Mark quietly signaled her. "You see that man there? He is the one. Take a look but don't make it obvious."Lucy casually looked around and found the executive. He was quite a fat man who looked in his late forties."Got it.""You know what to do, right?"She pursed her lips. "I don't think I can do this. Do I seriously have to seduce him?""Not seduce. Just smile and act chatty. You don't have to get into bed with him.""Ewww! I will kill myself before that happens!" She felt disgusted."Just smile and talk. That's it. Don't worry I am here. If he tries to do something inappropriate, I will intervene. I will always have my eyes on you."Lucy sighed. This was all for the sake of finding any clue about Luca. If luck was on their side, they would strike gold if Enigma Steel turns out to be the culprit."Okay. I will do it."But unknown to her, the four thugs who newly joined the Shadow Eagle gang were keeping an eye on Luct too. They were the same thugs who helped Lucy by giving their fake testimony outside her college when she was accused of harming Laura.Ever since that day, on Eric's orders, they always quietly followed her to protect her. Even tonight, Eric ordered them to keep a lookout outside Molly's house. But they were shocked to learn that she took a cab and went to a bar instead as soon as Eric left.Naturally, they followed her here too."Hey! Boss Ludo Lady came to a bar. Why isn't she at her friend's house?""She met a strange guy too!""He is the same man with whom she went last night in his car!""I don't think this is good. Why would Boss Ludo Lady lie to the Boss and come here instead?""I smell something fishy!""What should we do?"The leader of the gang thought for a moment. "We should tell this to Boss! After all, he entrusted her safety to us. It's our duty to update him if something changed! Let's tell Boss! We cannot take the risk."
