"Try telling me. You take it easy, I'm a good listener and who knows I can help you" Gail said, smilingly looking at Lea.
"There's nothing to tell, Mr. Gail." Lea was still reluctant to tell the man because she thought it was unethical to tell everything about herself to people she just knew.
"Come on, Miss Lea. I risked my life to save you. So, why hesitate to tell me about yourself?"
"Well if you force." Lea let out a heavy sigh and finally relented.
"I came here to seek justice. Justice for my sister's life that drifted in vain. However, they still insist on closing the case on the grounds that there is no solid evidence."
"What happened to your sister?" ask Gail curious.
"My sister died in an accident and because of that accident, I had to lose my leg and become a disabled woman for life" Lea said with teary eyes.
The deg!
Suddenly Gail's eyes rounded perfectly. Lea's words just made her remember the events of that night. Where he accidentally hit a motorcyclist and left just like that.
After hearing the victim had reported his actions to the authorities, for his good name, Gail asked the assistant to cover up the case. Gail did not want her good name to be broken and ended up willing to pay dearly to anyone involved.
Hearing Lea's words that are almost similar to the case that he deliberately covered, Gail became curious.
"Then, what about the perpetrator who caused the accident? Has he been arrested?" tanya Gail with a pounding heart. I wish what he thought was wrong.
Leah shook her head slowly. "Had the man been arrested, I probably wouldn't have been here, Mr. Gail. That guy is still hanging around out there happily. While I am here, I have to suffer the consequences of his actions" Lea said furiously.
Cold sweat poured from his temple. His heart suddenly beat faster than usual. Somehow Gail felt that Lea was the victim of the accident that occurred on that fateful night.
"That night, we were hit by a black luxury car. I saw with my own eyes how Harris' body was blown away after being hit by the car. Not enough to get there, I also felt how terrible the collision was until I finally was unconscious. Instead of stopping and helping us, the luxury car left us helpless."
Gail immediately fell silent to a thousand languages. His lips suddenly faded and were unable to take out a single word. His entire body suddenly felt hot as if his blood was flowing fiercely.
"Oh my God, that's right! Lea and her late sister were the ones I hit back then, "her inner self.
"I'm sure they've solved the case. Only, that fellow managed to silence the mouths of everyone involved. Even my lawyer, who used to be so enthusiastic about helping us, suddenly asked me to stop taking care of the case. He said the case had been closed because there was no solid evidence. CCTV on the road was suddenly dead, but as far as I know the place is prone to accidents and CCTV always monitors the place and can be sure that the object is always functioning properly," clearly Lea with eyes that started to redden as her cries grew more and more.
"In addition to being disabled, the accident also managed to make my life spoiled. The loss of a mere puppet sister, the betrayal of a lover and the insults of those around me because of my present condition" Lea continued in between sobs.
Lea turned her head towards Gail then looked at the man expectantly. "Mr Gail, I don't know who you are. However, I know you are a good person. You are even willing to risk your life to help me who incidentally is a stranger, who you never know at all. This time I beg you very much, can you help me reveal this case? Or yes, maybe you have an acquaintance who can help me," Lea said again with a soft look.
Gail gazes into Lea's eyes and sees that the woman is actually putting great hope on him in order to help him solve the case and reveal the identity of the perpetrator who has resulted in his sister's death and made herself a disabled woman.
"E-ehm, okay, Lea. I-I promised I'd help you expose the case, "Gail replied in stammer.
Lea smiled. A glimmer of hope has been gained and he hopes Gail can help him find justice.
Lea smiled broadly. He then wiped away the tears that were dripping back in both corners of his eyes. "Thank you very much, Mr. Gail. Thank you very much" Lea said with sparkling eyes.
"E-ehm, yeah. Equally," said Gail with a wry smile.
Lea glanced at the circular watch on her wrist then immediately got up from her sitting position. "Mr Gail, it looks like I have to leave. I'm late, I'm sure my men will be waiting" Lea said, extending her hand to Gail.
Trembling, Gail welcomed Leah's hand and returned with a small smile. "alright. Be careful on the road, Lea."
After releasing Gail's hand, Lea stepped back into her parked car. While Gail was still silent at the place while watching Lea who had already moved away from her. The man's face looked muddled after finding out who Lea really was.
"Lea-Lea, I'm sorry!" he murmured with lips that were shaking violently.
Nick, who was waiting for Gail in the car, several times glanced at his luxury watch.
"It's too late, but why is Mr. Gail still there. While the fake-footed girl had already left him," Nick muttered with his eyebrows clinging to each other.
Because it was impatient, Nick also intended to approach the boss and remind him of the important meeting they had to attend. Nick got out of the car and walked to the spot, where Gail was still sitting pensively with a disheveled face.
"Mr Gail," said Nick, upon arrival.
Gail's daydream suddenly broke. He gasped in shock and raised his head, looking at Nick who was standing next to him.
Nick slightly bowed before Gail then said, "Master, Gail. We'd better leave now. The meeting will soon begin."
"Hmm, okay."
Gail breathed heavily. Trying to calm himself which was currently in chaos. Slowly he stepped towards the car followed by Nick from behind. He got into the luxury car and Nick returned the object to their office.
