A week before Christmas Day...Kier parked his car and leans his back on his car seat: he ma.s.sages his forehead, then sighed. He also loosens his tie before he stepped outside, he felt too exhausted tonight. While the boss was slacking off a lot lately, all the work falls on him.
Kier presses his mouth from cold. Those two have their time playing around which left him working, not only double workload but triple. He will make sure to raise a huge bonus before Christmas Day.
His life even gets boring each year that had pa.s.sed. He even chooses not to celebrate his 29th birthday which that was tomorrow. He sighed once again.
He grabs his suitcase when his phone rings, it was his mom. He put back the suitcase then leans on his car while talking to Madame Kaye. After the phone call, Kier notices a group of men roaming around the parking lot of this apartment building.
He called the Security to search the whole area with outsiders and instructed to not let them in and just wandering around freely in this private neighborhood.
The next morning...
Kier opens his car door when he found a woman at the back seat of his car.
What the? And how did this woman able to enter his car?
"Hey! Wake up! Who are you?" But the woman just groan.
"Hey!" Kier attempts to shake the woman"s shoulder but he notices that she was s.h.i.+vering and tried to bend her body like, she was in the great cold. He touched her forehead and she was burning with fever.
The whole night, the temperature was dropping until this morning. What is this woman"s thinking? Kier thought. He took off his coat and cover the woman"s body. He can"t decide whether to bring her to the hospital, but he doesn"t like answering any questions when he will be going to ask who is she, then he has to explain how he found her.
Why did she end up to his car? He did lock it as what he could remember. What other things he did before he went to his apartment? He was recalling what happened last night then he remembers the group of men wandering around the parking area.
Is she connected to them? He suspected. Kier decided to bring the woman to his apartment. Good thing, he takes care of his younger siblings when they were younger, he learned to stock up all the first aid medicine.
"Hey, take this pill!" He tried to wake up the woman. Looks like, he will going to be late today. He took off his suit and rolls his long sleeves. He then went to his kitchen to get some hot water and a clean face towel.
The weather was cooler but his forehead now dripping with sweat. He has no choice but strips the woman and damp with a hot towel her whole body.
So what now? What clothes would be fit on her? He doesn"t have any female clothes. No. He can"t ask his sister Andrea to borrow her clothes, neither he can"t ask his sister-in-law Anna to deliver him a few sets of women"s apparel.
Ugh. What on earth he is gotten to? But he can"t leave the woman almost naked but her underwear. He covers her with a blanket. Thinking about it, Kier looks away and scratch his temple. And why is this woman wearing a tiny strap dress on this cold weather? Argh! Anything... Just let this woman get dress. He freaks out.
He searches his closet and grabs his pajamas. He sighed. He had trouble putting on her his pajamas. He can"t avoid getting contact with her skin.
And this, he won"t dare to share with his friends. There"s no way he will tell how he undresses Jean to change her clothes into a comfortable one after rubbing her body with warm water to subside her fever.
Which after her fever goes down and she feels better that night, all he received is a slap from her instead of a thank you, not to mention that day is his 29th birthday and he supposes to celebrate! Have a few drinks maybe, but all he did is watching a sick woman. Well, he"ll keep it a secret with his entire life.
"Jean was from the Philippines. She was hired by her cousin for a job but did not know, that she will become a victim of human trafficking. Her cousin sold her that"s why she was granted a job here and plans to bring her to the Palm Island.
"That island is one of what we were investigating," Matt stated.
"Yes. Jean was able to escape with the help of her friend. One of our contracted singers." Kier added.
"Then, Jean is a witness," David concluded.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Yes, David. Dad has been studying this case to solve quickly. So, Matt, I did request the surveillance footages from that night, check these men if what a.s.sociation they belong to. This will be our huge lead to solve this Human Trafficking case."
"But Jean was in danger, and you left her alone in your apartment?" Quinn shared his opinion.
Kier hasn"t able to reply when his phone rings. "Jean? What?" Kier meets his friends gazes who were curious about what happens.
"Jean spotted the men who were looking for her, and she said, there are gunshots she could hear now!" After telling this, Kier sat up from the couch and leave without notice.
"I"ll go and followed him," Matt proposed. "David, send your men on the area!"
"Copy!" David quickly dialed his phone and instruct his team before he followed his two older brothers.
"I think, I should follow them and called dad to tell about this information. It was a huge help to solve this issue we struggled to find a solution for years already."
"Alright, Karl. You all take care," Quinn nodded at the oldest Lawrence siblings. "Daichi, send our men as well."
"Sounds good! I"ll use your private elevator, boss!"
