My Beautiful Boss novel Chapter 140

"Have you cleared up what happened last night?" Wolf King turned to one of his subordinates and asked him. He wanted to resolve the issue quickly and quietly.

"I now know what happened. It was Peter Wang, the Director of the Security Department that went after Diego. He's the culprit," the subordinate reported vigorously.

He was proud of himself for his thorough investigation.

"Peter Wang? That bastard again?" Wolf King spat with his eyes boiling with rage.

He gritted his teeth at the absurdity of the events unfolding in front of him. The same man, again, was taking him for a fool.

"If he's just a department director, it was impossible for him to defeat someone like Diego. Diego had controlled Golden City for years. How could be defeated by the likes of him?

Tail him and watch him again. Find out who this bastard really is. He's not what he said he was."

Wolf King huffed and sat on his throne, strategizing how he could eliminate Peter as soon as possible.

He continued,"What about Caden? Is he all right? Has the police said anything?"

"Boss, Amelia, the police chief, is hard to deal with. We've come to look for the woman numerous times, but we couldn't seem to meet her," the subordinate said, suddenly feeling embarrassed.

"God damn it," Wolf King clicked his tongue. He drummed his fingers against the table. "You indolent fool! If you couldn't take her in the police station, then grab her elsewhere!

It's impossible for her to stay in there forever! Find her. Use your fucking brain next time! Kidnapping a damn police chief should be a child's play,"

Wolf King burst out, furious. He wondered why he was getting very unlucky these days.

The subordinate yelled an affirmative "Yes, boss", before turning away from him. He scurried off to gather his team.

The conversation with Wolf King boosted his confidence. He overestimated Amelia's role as the police chief. He was afraid of her capabilities that if anything went wrong, Wolf King would be troubled and he would dissatisfy him.

Most importantly, he didn't know Caden was taken by Amelia.

In another part of Golden City

Peter didn't know that Wolf King had targeted him. He decided to stake him out. After morning broke, he got up, took a warm, welcoming shower and left the hotel.

As the director of the Security Department, he was responsible for overseeing and ensuring the safety and certainty of the company. Even though he tended to clock in late every day, he was a constant presence in the company.

As he was walking outside, the smell of eggs wafted in his nose. Peter approached the stall and bought breakfast for himself, as well as Liam and Anne. They were always on his mind. He wanted to focus on helping Liam settle by helping him find something to do.

"Good morning, Peter!" Anne greeted. She was elated at the sight of Peter. She beamed at him happily, watching him approach, until she noticed a breakfast pack on his hand. She felt her stomach grumble.

She'd been hungry since she woke up when dawn broke, but she couldn't leave the room for fear of Diego's men coming after them.

Anne immediately blushed in embarrassment. She squealed and turned away from Peter.

'That is so embarrassing!' Anne thought to herself.

"Hey, let's eat." Peter didn't laugh at her, trying to lighten her mood. "Later, I'll take Liam to the company and show him around," Peter said. He looked at Anne kindly and took out one of the wraps in his hands, handing it over to the young woman.

"Thank you, Peter."

"Thank you, Boss!"

the two said in unison. They devoured the breakfast in no time. Peter raised an eyebrow and looked at them, stunned by their hunger.

"Would you like me to get more?" He didn't realize how far along they had gone without an appropriate meal.

Peter looked at Liam and thought how Diego's strongest boxer would look so thin and lanky, as if he were being starved to death. 'Was he not treated well, then?'

Despite his small frame, Liam knew how to eat a lot. He had a giant appetite for delicious food. He would normally eat something before bed, but last night was different.

Considering that they had recently been liberated, he and his sister hadn't eaten since the night before. No wonder his appetite was great.

Soon, Liam and Anne finished their meal. Both of them quickly got ready and left the hotel with Peter.

"Good morning, Mr. Wang!"

"Morning, Mr. Wang!"

Peter was so close to Elaine that he could feel her warmth radiating. Peter relished the feel of her ass against his thigh.

He wanted to caress the curve of her ass and slap it right then and there.

Peter's mind went blank at the thought of it.

Elaine could feel that Peter was watching her every move. It tantalized her. She felt a bit nervous, but her delight and excitement overpowered it. She blushed.

"What are you doing?" she sputtered, holding a hand between the cup and her lips.

"We're at the office. What if someone sees us?" The last time they messed around with one another, Bella gave an extremely long talk about proper office etiquette. She didn't want to go through that again.

"But I'm the director, Elaine. And you're my sweet, beautiful, hot manager," Peter said cheekily before pulling away from the young woman. He immediately began to miss the warmth that emanated from her body.

Elaine straightened up, glared at Peter, and smacked his arm. "Come on, what are you really doing here? I know you don't really miss me, you liar."

Elaine wasn't a fool. She knew from experience that he really didn't want her — it was her ability to get whatever Peter wanted. 'He comes here looking for something, ' thought she.

She couldn't blame him, however, since she owed him and loved him.

He helped her get rid of her ex boyfriend, Mac.

"Believe me, Elaine! I come here because I really miss you," Peter said with aggrieved tone. He knew women were especially fond of sweet words. Even though it was a lie, he tried to use it to get through her.

He wasn't stupid. It wasn't possible to tell her the entire truth anyway.

"Well, then, I believe you. You miss me, so you visit me. But I guess you have something else to tell me, right? Then tell me now. Don't waste my time, Peter,"

Elaine rolled her eyes and replied matter-of-factly. She could clearly see through him.

Peter was a little bit embarrassed. 'She knows all along.' He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly and sputtered the reply,"Well, I do need your help with something."

Elaine shook her head. Even though she knew he was lying, she was still upset that he didn't truly miss her. 'This guy.'
