NovelUSAChapter 437: "Get the file I want,” Q said, “and find Dr. Finley. Once you complete one of the two, I shall tell you where your father is." Marissa's eyes widened in excitement as she typed out a reply.
"Does that mean that my father is really alive?" "There are two kinds of meetings in this world," cQ's message. "The living meet in person, and the dead are visited at their tombs." And just like that, Marissa's soaring spirits fell into disappointment.
Q was promising to take her to her father, but whether she was going to see him in person or visit his grave was yet to be revealed. The uncertainty of it all was unbearable, especially when it was her father's life in question.
She despised Q and their cryptic mind games.
L@TESS CHAPTEŘŞ î# gąl.co Marissa didn't want to be Q's puppet. She would definitely do much better if she simply captured Q and beat the answers out of them. With renewed determination, she took out another phone to track Q's location.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThanks to her previous encounter with the bastard's hacker guardian, Marissa bypassed all the security walls with ease.
Soon, she had the coordinates she needed.
The location was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
How was she supposed to find someone in the biggest damn body of water in the world? Q had claimed to wander everywhere. But if Tiffany was with Q, was she also wandering everywhere? Marissa was pondering this when the red dot indicating Q's location suddenly disappeared, and Q's profile picture turned black and white.
Q had gone offline.
Marissa tossed her phone aside in frustration. Since she had no way of locating Q at the moment, she had no choice but to take on the missions Q had set for her.
Of course, the only real option was to steal the file Q wanted from Peridot Consortium. Marissa was Dr. Finley herself, so she couldn't possibly turn herself in when she still had other matters to take care of.
Q clearly wanted to use Dr. Finley's knowledge and skills to push whatever personal agenda they had, but what exactly was that agenda? As things currently stood, she would just have to wait for the right opportunity to unravel anything. There was no point in losing sleep, worrying about the unknown, so Marissa decided to shelve those concerns for now.
She took a deep breath to calm herself, then slowly emerged from her hiding spot.
In the distance, she spotted Franco chatting animatedly with Rita, though the latter had a blank, almost lifeless expression on her face.
Curious about their interaction, Marissa quietly linked her phone to Rita's chip, enabling her to eavesdrop on the two.
"I heard your nis Rita," Marissa heard Franco say. "It's a very pretty name. Where are you from? Do you have any siblings?" "My boss forbidsfrom entertaining questions from strangers," Rita answered flatly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh, but I am not a stranger," Franco countered. "My nis Franco, and I am your boss's cousin. Look, there's no need to be so wary of me. I'm not a bad person." "You're a cousin of my boss?" Rita's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "I don't believe it. I just saw you glaring at my boss. You looked so hostile. I can tell that you most certainly are not a good person." Franco was momentarily taken aback but deftly steered the conversation in a different direction. "You're such a beautiful young woman. Why did you choose to be a nanny? Have you ever considered switching jobs? I can help you find something that pays better and requires less work." "No thanks," Rita said calmly.
Franco was stunned yet again, this tinto silence.
Marissa craned her neck to look in their direction and saw that Rita was already walking away with Franco. The man, on the other hand, watched her departing back with a forlorn look on his face. Marissa straightened her clothes and walked up to Rita.
As they stood close to each other, Rita gestured subtly toward Franco. "Boss, that man was being a little too nosy He kept askingstrange questions. Would you liketo handle him?" Marissa couldn't help but chuckle at that. "No, that won't be necessary. You may carry on "Yes, boss," Rita nodded. "I'll go find Lawrence and Lindsay."
"Rita," Marissa stopped her just as the other woman turned to leave.
"Don't go looking for them right how. Mrs Arabella Daniels still has reservations about you. It would be best to steer clear of her at the moment." "I see," Rita muttered, her brows furrowing. "I'll just mill about the garden, then." And off she went, strolling aimlessly among the shrubberies and flower beds.
with your business." Then, Marissa turned on her heel and strode to where Franco was standing. Without beating around the bush, she asked, "Have you fallen in love at first sight with my nanny?"
