Cold Man And Miss Stone
54. Cooperation Offer

You crazy man.

Nina pales as she hands over her phone as evidence that Ema killed Rowan. The whole Ahkam shake. Moreover, Nina saw clearly Samuel was running to bring Ema, instead of handing her over.

He did not care about Ahkam, but how could Samuel do this only for his servants?

"Rashi, how was your introductory process? He didn't show any strange gurgles?"

The investigation team that included Rashi is still silent at Ahkam's residence. They assist the investigation process as well as being witnesses.

Rashi came, carrying some sheets of documents that had just been printed.

"We note there is an apathetic tendency in the suspect. But from the evidence of the search, there were no strange items other than blank notebooks."

"What about fingerprints?"

"His fingerprints are not listed in any civil records. The identity he had was falsified, including fingerprints. That said, suspect Ema has preparations."

Of course, Rashi only gave the necessary sentences. He gave evidence incriminating Emilia, but not with his lead.

There's no clue.

Because no one ever knew who Emilia was except for Mahesa.

...*...

"Ema—no. Emilia." Samuel rubbed Emilia's ring finger, where Rowan's ring was embedded. It was clear he was willing to let go, but Samuel kept restraining himself. "Live with me."

This guy's full of shit. Emilia pulled her hand, intending to leave when Samuel suddenly hugged her.

"Delivery."

"I'm sorry, I lied to you a lot." Samuel whispered on his shoulder. "I suspected you from the beginning but pretended. I also know that you lured me into suspecting you a few times, but I acted ignorant. Don't be mad at me, Emilia."

"Anged at you? What's for?"

"Emilia—"

"I don't care about you." Emilia brushed Samuel aside, moving out despite some parts of her body being sick.

Outside it turned out that there were Mutia and Darto waiting.

"Where is Senior?"

"Let me drop off, Miss."

Meanwhile, Mutia directed Emilia to the room where Mahesa was. For a moment Emilia was surprised to find it was a strange room filled with computer devices, a number of screens with sightings at various angles, strange posters, and colored neon light settings.

Emilia's eyes immediately stared at him heavily.

"Emilia, are you okay?"

"Yes, Senior." Emilia took a seat right next to Mahesa. "What is all this?"

"The screen is watching you." Mahesa shifted, then the chair of someone whose face was blurry in Emilia's eyes approached. "This is your cyber team head. Well, just need him to keep an eye on you, frankly."

"Hello, Emilia."

Emilia frowned, dizzy. "I don't see your face but greetings."

Through her farsighted eyes, Emilia saw the man willing to kiss her hand. But a hand immediately brushed aside, changing into Samuel who shook it.

"I'm going to ask for damages for your attack some time ago. It's Number."

Number is the main force of Mahesa consisting of the head of defense, the head of the offensive, and so forth. But Nine laughed.

"I'm not a Number. Maybe just the rest?"

"Nine was part of my intelligence squad. He's not a number." Mahesa explained it to Emilia. "Call him your guardian, Emilia. He works for you, not me."

"That's easy to understand. Thank you, Senior."

"Yet, Emilia ordered it?" ask Samuel.

Emilia threw her face. Mahesa chuckled in response that it was indeed Emilia's wish.

"Then I offer cooperation." Samuel suddenly spoke. Still with her hands holding Emilia's seat, it was as if she was ready to pull her if Mahesa or Nine approached. "Oto will join Emilia."

This guy ....

He read very well Emilia's respect for Mahesa, and knew Mahesa's wish was Oto. If here Emilia refused, then it would be the same as refusing Mahesa's orders in front of Mahesa's face.

Brengx*c.

"How, Emilia?" Samuel smiled without sin.
