Chapter 245: Not surprised?

’’When Logan Parker regained consciousness and in a week, he retired from USN. Right now, he is an Ex-Navy Seal who lives a low-key life. From what I have gathered, he started working for that doctor from then on.’’

’’Oh? An Ex-Navy Seal working for a doctor? What kind of work is it?" Qin Zehan could not help but feel amused.

’’Uh...’’ The secretary’s face turned weird, ’’A butler. A driver. He does the odd jobs in there. As for the shopping bags and that lady in the hospital, from what I have figured she is that doctor’s mother.’’

’’So, you are saying that he retired from the Navy and willingly became someone’s servant?’’

’’Kind of,’’ The secretary added after some thought, ’’But from what I have gathered, they don’t seem to share an ordinary master and servant relationship. It’s more like Logan Parker is trying to be low-key and this is a cover for him.’’

’’Low-key...’’ Qin Zehan nodded his head thoughtfully, ’’Do you know what kind of people try to be low-key to this extent, Yize?"

The young man, Yize, paused for a moment, ’’President, you mean...?"

’’The kind of people who hide a secret,’’ Qin Zehan leaned back on the chair, ’’What did you say was the name of that doctor?"

"Maxim Warner.’’

’’His mother?" Qin Zehan never thought he lacked in the department of intelligence but for once in his life, he was beginning to feel that there was something he could not figure out after all.

No matter how he thought, he could not wrap his head around why someone would run at the sight of him.

Before Yize could respond, he was asked another question that came out of nowhere, ’’Do you think I look scary?"

Yize: "_" President, can I say yes? Will you let me live after that?

When he did not get a response, Qin Zehan tilted his head to look at his dumbstruck secretary, ’’No, right?"

’’O-Of course not. President, at one glance, you seem like an amicable person personality-wise. As for the looks department, we still have that file lying in your office here.’’

’’What file?" Qin Zehan asked, somewhat pleased with the description.

’’Those oldies of rival companies sent the biodata of their daughters and sisters to have them married to you to be allied to us. Oh, and all of them have sent a whole album each containing quite some pictures of their daughters and sisters...’’ Yize trailed off when Qin Zehan’s face darkened.

’’It seems like you have been idle lately,’’ Marriage? What kind of joke was that?

’’P-President, about that doctor’s mother, she seems to be called Hazel Warner.’’

That diverted Qin Zehan’s attention, hence saving the poor secretary from a bout of torture, ’’Hazel.’’ the name rolled off his tongue effortlessly but no matter how he thought about it, he had no recollection of this name. He did not know this person. Why did she run at the sight of him?

’’President, I have sent you a picture of Logan Parker.’’

Qin Zehan nodded, ’’Since you can’t find anything about this mysterious Ex-Navy Seal, then start from the scratch. Investigate the people around him. Look into that old lady who adopted this young child. As for this doctor, he is rather interesting. And his mother....’’ he trailed off, ’’I need detail. Every single thing about them. Dig it out.’’

Yize could not understand his boss’s reaction. These people did not sound like some important figures then why were they being given such attention?

’’People around Father need to be investigated thoroughly, especially when they have secrets to keep,’’ With that, Qin Zehan hung up and leaned back on the throne chair, ’’It seems like Father has found himself some interesting people to keep him entertained,’’ the corner of his lips tilted up in a small arc.

On the other side, the poor secretary was left staring at his laptop blankly. All he wanted to ask was ’President, are you certain you are asking me to investigate just because the Old Master is familiar with these people? No other reason? Why am I having doubts that your motives are rather dubious?’

Nevertheless, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and sent the picture of Logan Parker to his Boss.

Unfortunately, just as the picture started appearing on Qin Zehan’s laptop, the man had already stood up.

Grabbing his suit jacket from the arm of the throne chair he walked out of the study without taking another look at the laptop, hence missing the sight of a familiar face.

...

After Daisy left for work, Ivy stole Angel from Diana and ran off to her room.

Diana walked towards the half-ajar door of the Master bedroom but instead of entering, she decided to walk past it and go to the guest bedroom.

But just as she had taken a step past it, a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside.

’Bam’

The bedroom door was slammed close.

Diana was startled, ’’You finished showering?" He usually showered longer than her.

’’Since a long time,’’ Maxim’s hand shifted from her wrist, his index finger gently trailing up towards her elbow.

’’Then, you heard our conversation?"

Maxim nodded, ’’I was waiting for you so caught a few things.’’

’’You have nothing to say about it?"

Maxim shrugged a shoulder, ’’Nothing for us to bother ourselves over.’’

Looking at his reaction, Diana opened her mouth and then closed it, before she eventually spoke up, ’’You knew?" her eyes looked at him, trying to seek confirmation of her doubts.

’’Logan is related to Louis somehow.’’

’’Logan... Logan Parker?" Diana had some impression of that 6 feet hot-freshly-popped-out-of-magazine-and-the-world-owes-me man.

Maxim narrowed his eyes, ’’Don’t say another man’s name like that,’’ his slender fingers strongly wrapped around her arm as he pulled her close.

Diana paused, ’’You... Like what?’’ The look in his eyes startled her for a moment, rendering her speechless. She just said the name casually. Like that? What was ’that’?

Maxim closed his eyes and cleared his throat, ’’It’s him. Before the surgery, I met him in the hospital and he seemed rather concerned about the patient,’’ he glanced at her.
