Finding Out The Billionaire Chapter 32

Chapter 32 The Key Belongs To Flynn

At home, Heather stared expressionless at Alex.

Alex was confused. Soon after that, Heather’s boisterous yelling followed suit, “Alex, you have disappointed me!”

He was taken aback before he realized that it must be related to the incident that happened in the afternoon. Surely, it must be Kate who told Heather what happened.

“You are just a live-in son-in-law, so why is there a need for you to pretend to be someone you are not? Do you think that Kate was unaware of your status? Besides, even if Kate didn’t know about your status, don’t you have any self-conscience? The audacity to pretend someone you are not in front of everyone else, you have really put me to shame!” she lambasted him.

Heather’s finger trembled with anger while it was pointed towards Alex. If she knew Alex was that kind of person, she would not have allowed him to approach Kate.

“I’m sorry,” he apologized. He could only blame himself for trusting Derek.

He never thought that he would be tricked by Derek.

Sigh…

Heather stared at Alex for half a minute in silence as time slowly ticked by.

Looking at her, Alex could notice the disappointment in her eyes, and guilt started to swallow him up.

He let his guard down today, only because he was oblivious to Derek’s personality change.

It served as a warning not to trust anyone, even those that were indebted to him.

However, he would not let Derek off the hook easily. The huge embarrassment was too hard to forget.

The entire night was consumed by silence.

The next day, Alex arrived at the company and saw Kate.

“You work here too?” Kate asked as she raised her eyebrows.

“Yes, I’m the driver,” Alex replied calmly.

“That’s good to know.” Kate nodded and left. She resisted her urge to comment further about how it was better than him living off a woman.

Shortly, she stopped and glanced at him again before letting out a grin.

“By the way, since you’re the driver, do me a favor and introduce me to the boss,” she said.

Kate was troubled with her placement. She initially interviewed to be the secretary, but she was informed by the manager of the Human Resource Department yesterday that she would be a better fit in the Marketing Department. They thought highly of her and opined that she would be more qualified as the vice director of the Marketing Department rather than a mere secretary.

Initially, she wanted to reject the offer.

However, she thought about the reputation of the Four Seas Corporation and the opportunity to work closely with their boss. Thus, she accepted the offer with that reason in mind. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Nonetheless, it would depend on her work performance and achievements before she could have the chance to meet him.

As she knew about Alex’s job, she wanted to get closer to the boss through him.

“You want to meet the boss?” Alex was appalled by the irony, but it was concealed swiftly. He beamed, “Sure. If there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you to him.”

“Thank you in advance. I’ll treat you and your wife a meal someday,” Kate was relieved with his assurance and left happily.

As he saw her figure leaving, a wicked smile formed on his lips, “You can continue to dream on.”

He only said that because he wanted to know her ulterior motives.

The day passed by in a blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, Alex habitually left work early to pick up Stanley.

Flynn’s shop was closed as usual.

Be that as it may, Alex stopped by the small shop.

At the same moment, an old lady walked towards the car. He rolled down the windows and thought that she was a beggar.

Just as he reached for his wallet and wanted to give her some money, the old lady asked, “Are you Alex, Flynn’s friend?”

Alex was startled that she recognized him. He then nodded his head and replied, “Yes.”

“This is the key that Flynn gave me,” she passed a key to Alex.

As he retrieved the key, he realized that it was the key to Flynn’s shop.

He noticed the bloodstain on it, and instantly, an unsettling feeling welled from within him.

“Hey, madam, when did Flynn and the rest return to their hometown?” he asked.
