Chapter 487: Suspicious Gavin

It was half past eleven in the evening when Gavin returned home. After updating Austin on everything, he drove back home.

Walking upstairs, he was heading to his room when he noticed Tristan, coming out from the study.

"Partying with friends, huh," Tristan asked with a friendly smile.

He knew Gavin had a lot of friends and since he was back with a short break, he was supposed to meet them before leaving.

So when Grace started getting worried for him, he quickly calmed her down. As much as he too was concerned for his whereabouts, he knew Gavin wasn’t someone who liked causing trouble.

"Hmm.. It’s been a while since we met, so.. you know meet-up and stuff" he said scratching the back of his neck.

Gavin who had never kept any secret from his family, pursed his lips into a thin line as he had to lie to his brother about this particular task he was assigned.

Giving him a nod, Tristan patted his shoulder before walking past him.

Watching, his retreating figure, Gavin let out a sigh of relief and headed to his room.

[Bedroom]

"Did everything go well?" Ashley asked joining Tristan to bed.

She had been in the shower, at the time he returned attending important calls.

Questions had been raised by the board members, inquiring about what happened for Tristan to terminate the project with Acme halfway.

He had to deal with all these stuffs with a proper clarification from his end.

Giving her a meaningful stare, he pulled her closer into his embrace.

"Everything under control," he said.

As the couple kept lying silently, Ashley asked," Gavin, he seems to be quite busy even on the break"

Her words made Tristan tilt his head down, staring at her in confusion.

"Busy," he asked.

"Don’t take my words wrong, but have you asked him where he had been the entire day"

Tristan sensed an underlying meaning behind her words and bobbed his head," I did. He said he was with his friends" he replied.

Ashley frown on his response and fell deep into thought.

"Is there something you want to tell" he asked.

It didn’t take him long to read her face, so he immediately questioned.

"I don’t know, but I heard him talk with his senior the other night. He appeared serious and-" she paused looking at him skeptically.

"And?"

"He mentioned about Fortis Plus Hospital" deep line formed between his brows.

Fortis Plus Hospital was the same hospital Sandra was recovering before someone moved her. It was also the same hospital were Bianca worked.

As he looked at her, glint of confusion passed through his orbs.

"What is this boy up to" he muttered in a whisper as he fell into deep thoughts.

*****

[Gabriel’s House]

After the horrible morning incident, Bianca locked herself inside the room. She was so embarrassed to face Gabriel that she didn’t dare to leave the room.

The maid who had been looking after her, brought her lunch in her room, but when she observed her flushed face, she got worried wondering whether her fever returned once again.

Surprisingly her assumption didn’t turned to be true and she left the room half concerned.

Bianca’s crimson red cheeks left her puzzled but she didn’t dare to question and left the room silently.

If only she had any idea why she had been blushing the entire time, she would have declared her weird.

"Sigh!.. how long do I have feel this way" words left her mouth and she climbed down the bed.

Never in her life, she had imagined to get swayed by these fleeting emotions. Her life she devoted to treat people needed a concrete mind.

Love and affection never fitted into her dictionary.

But with Griffin, everything turned out to be complicated. The man had come across on the television screen not only caught her attention but she also started adoring him secretly.

She thought this admiration would be limited to herself, but after whatever happened today, use started doubting herself.

She was attracted to Riel and she happened to learn it in an unexpected way.

All her belief took a U-turn when she saw him naked and the way her heart raced imagining his handsomeness was the proof.

"Oh god.... What’s wrong with me.... Why can’t I get him out of my head" She once again screamed but this time she didn’t surprise her voice. Instead she pulled her hair frustratingly and jumped down the bed.

Bianca forgot the count about how many times she had done this, but everytime she was done crying for her miscery, she would silently return to her seat, like an obedient kid.

"No no I can’t let him overpower me" She declared slapping her faces gently as she tried to brush off those fleeting emotions that’s were hovering over her mind.

Once she felt better, taking a few deep breaths she sprinted out of the room.

*****

Sitting on the plush couch with his back resting against the armrest, Gabriel was busy playing PlayStation.

His hands moved swiftly on the remote while his furrowed eyes squinted with every move he took. Skillful he managed to kill his enemy like a pro.

Gabriel was fully enjoying his day-off but every time, his mood switched whenever Bianca’s face crossed his mind.

After she ran to her room, he waited for her to show up again, but even after so much time passed she never return.

Her strange behavior had caught him by surprise but he decided to divert his thoughts and focus on how he would get those men out from their hideouts.

The day he expressed his wish to help her, Riel had assigned his men around the hospital.

Not only did he monitored that place, he even went on investigating the doctors she worked with.

Out of all the people there was this one doctor who caught his attention.

Not only did he appeared to be suspicious but also his actions lately made him curious.

"What is this man hiding" He muttered pondering about the scenario when some one knocked on his bedrooms door.
