Chapter 128 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

“Why am I hiding it?” Harry asked curiously as he looked at the key.

“I told her I was going for a job and she wanted me to take the car. Just keep it somewhere she won’t find it until we are back from the meeting,” Benne instructed him, and Harry gave him a nod.

“She must like you already to be offering you her car, when less than a week ago she had been trying to get you fired,” Harry said in amazement as he turned to leave the office.

“I hope so. Have you been able to find anything on Jade’s witness?” Benne asked before Harry could get to the door.

Harry turned around to look at him, “I was wondering if I could get Jade’s contact number? I need to ask her a couple of questions,” Harry explained.

“Sure. I will just ask her to give you a call,” Benne said as he stepped out of the mini bedroom. He cleared his throat and spread his arms as he looked at Harry “So, how do I look?” He asked in a broad voice that was different from his.

“Exactly like the weird CEO everyone thinks you are. Maybe you should spend some time working on that voice,” Harry said before walking away.

Once he walked out of Benne’s office, he stopped by Celsie’s desk when he saw her arranging some files on her desk, “Good morning Miss Miller,” he greeted with a straight face.

“Good morning sir,” Celsie stood up as she greeted him.

“How was your weekend? I hope you did some sightseeing?” He asked, looking at her with interest as he thought of the best way to mess with her that morning. What better way to bond with his best friend’s love interest, than this?

“It was fine. I was indoor for most of the time,” Celsie said with a polite smile. It seemed to her like Mr. Harry was fond of asking her questions that automatically made her want to tell him lies.

“That is nice. About your driver, I have found a replacement for him. Ask him to meet me…”

“What replacement?” Celsie asked, interrupting him.

“You asked me to get you another driver the last time, didn’t you? I’ve gotten someone else to take over from him, so ask him to meet me in my office,” Harry said, making Celsie’s brow pull together in a frown.

“I thought the CEO said…”

“I know what the CEO said, but you don’t have to worry about it, I will handle it. Ask your driver to meet me, okay?” Harry said, wanting to see if she would want to let go of her boyfriend now.

Celsie frowned. Although this was what she had wanted a while ago, but things were different between them now, and she didn’t want it anymore. She was okay with him being her driver, and he also needed to keep working for her as that was the only way he could have the liberty he needed to handle his personal business.

“Thank you for your help sir, but I don’t need a new driver anymore,” Celsie called out politely before Harry could leave the office.

“Why? You are scared that you might lose your job?” Harry asked curiously, and Celsie shook her head.

“No sir. It’s just that I’m beginning to get along with him now,” Celsie said politely.

“Are you sure?” Harry asked with a slightly raised brow, and she gave him a nod.

“Let me know if you change your mind,” Harry said before walking away to do what Benne had directed him to do.

Benne raised his head from the documents he was working on when he heard his office door being opened, “Inform Miss Miller that we would be leaving together for the meeting soon,” Benne said informed Harry who had just walked into his office.

Harry arched a brow, “What’s with the broad voice?” Harry asked when Benne spoke to him in a voice that was different from his usual voice.

“I’m trying to get used to speaking this way,” Benne said, making Harry roll his eyes.

“I wonder when this whole madness will come to an end,” Harry said as he dropped some files along with Celsie’s car key on the desk in front of Benne before taking the seat opposite him.

“And what did you just say I should tell her? You want her to come with us?” Harry asked i

“Isn’t she my personal assistant? She should attend meetings with me so that the others wouldn’t think that she is merely occupying a space in my office. Besides, I want her to be there since Anita would be there too,” Benne said, and Harry looked at him in confusion.

“I don’t understand. Why should she attend the meeting simply because Anita will be in attendance when Anita doesn’t even know your true identity yet?”

“It’s only a matter of time before she finds out, and when that happens, I want her to be clear on the fact that Celsie is the only lady I always want to have around me. So can you just stop questioning me and ask her to get ready to leave with us?”

“Are you sure she won’t recognize you if she spends too much time in your company? And, is that the best you can do in disguising your voice?” Harry asked, looking Benne over once again.

“You have known me far longer than she has, if you didn’t know anything about this disguise, would you have recognized me in this costume? With this voice” Benne asked, and Harry shook his head.

“I don’t know. Maybe not.”
