So here it is...
========================================
~ Warehouse ~
The blind fold was lifted and at that moment Raymond saw who that woman was. |She was pretty but gave him a chill that went down his spine and made him shiver. Her smile was beautiful yet deceiving and he knew from that point that this was probably now some sort of practical joke, but something a lot more life threatening. At the moment he tried to remember where his cell phone was...but the cruel reality fell upon him as he realized that...he probably had left it in his car.
Man: Looking for your cell phone Mr. Lam?
Raymond looked up at the man but didn’t answer.
The man snickered and turned to look at the woman that Raymond seemed to be so shocked to see.
Man: I think you’ve put him into some sort of trance with your heavenly beauty
The woman giggled: Or he’s totally shocked that I’m actually standing here
Raymond: You’re right. I am shocked...and I was trying to think what I’ve done that crossed your path and would make you do such a thing to me.
Woman: You don’t remember?
Raymond: The only thing I remember is the fact that you are Charmaine, the daughter of my mentor...
Charmaine: And do you remember how many times my dad tried setting us up and you would end up refusing all the invitations?
Raymond: If you’re doing this because of something so simple as that, I highly recommend you go see some sort of psychiatric specialist
Charmaine glared at him then laughed: It’s amazing how you can say such things in a time like this. Your life is ultimately in my hands...
Raymond: If you want me to beg then I’m sorry that I can’t do that...I won’t lose my dignity to a woman so sinful and deceiving as you are... (His voice got louder) Nor to anyone else for that matter!
Charmaine: You want to keep your pride or your life?
Raymond: Why are you doing this?
Charmaine: I’m doing this for all them woman who are heartbroken because of you
Raymond chuckled: Me? Did I break your heart by any chance?
Charmaine: I, luckily enough was not under your spell...but...
Tears started trickling down her face but it felt as though she was completely speechless and just sobbed. What exactly happened Raymond did now seem to know, but it must have been something so serious that it would lead her to do such a thing...but why him?
~ Safe house ~
After answering the phone call from Nancy, Ron ran into Leila’s room. He opened the door, walked in and closed it behind him...all of his subordinates wondered what exactly had happened.
~Leila’s room~
Leila: What’s the hurry inspector...it’s not like I’m going anywhere
Ron: Leila...I need your help
Leila’s facial expression became a bit more serious: Help?
Ron: I think my brother’s in danger
Leila: Why do you say that?
Ron: Nancy found his phone at your club
Leila: And how does that mean he’s in danger?
Ron: You don’t understand my brother like I do. People lose their cell phones all the time, but my brother doesn’t go anywhere without it...it has everything in it.
Leila: So...
Ron: Something happened to him...Myolie said he didn’t show up in court...and he lost his cell phone...and
Leila smiled and embraced him: It’s ok...he’ll be fine...
Ron slowly pushed her away: But you’ll help me find him...
Leila: I’ll do anything for you
Ron smiled: Thank you...and I’m
Leila: You’re sorry about saying things that you think I would understand or are you sorry that even if I help you the chances of us being together is very slim
Ron looked directly into her brown eyes: I’m sorry for always asking you to do things for me...and causing you all this misunderstanding and...
Leila: It’s not your fault really...and...I should be thankful of you for not trying to take advantage of me physically...cause...
Ron: You’ll always have my utmost respect since...we’re friends
Leila hugged him: But we can be closer than that...
Ron whispered: Maybe...
~ Outside Leila’s room~
Wayne: Lam sir’s been in there for quite a while now...
Selena: He should be fine...unless you think Lady Tong did something to him...which I higly doubt since...
Chris: She’s totally in love with him
Wayne laughed: I think someone should go in and check
Selena: Linda should go in
Linda: Me? Why?
Selena: It’s sort of obvious that both Lam sir and Lady Tong are quite fond of you...
Wayne: Especially Lam Sir...I’m not so sure about Lady Tong
Chris chuckled: She might think you’re competition
Linda blushed: I really don’t know what you guys are talking about, but I’ll go in and check if you want me to
Wayne laughed: Well...go in and check and we’ll leave your personal matters with Lam Sir alone
With that Linda walked away and went to check on Ron and Leila. She stood in front of the door and slowly knocked, after only two knocks the door opened and Leila noticed that it was Ron who had opened it.
Ron: is there something wrong?
Linda shook her head
Leila: She’s probably worried that I did something to you
Linda: Wayne wanted me to come in and see if everything’s alright
Leila: or was it you who wanted to make sure that nothing went on in here...
Linda blushed: Of course not...
Ron: So you weren’t worried a bit about my well-being?
Linda: I think I should be more concerned about Leila’s well-being since...well...she is the one under our protection
Leila giggled: I guess I’m more important than I thought
Ron: Wait...you called her Leila
Leila went over and grabbed Linda’s wrist: We’re good friends now Lam Sir....and I apologize for not informing you about it
Ron chuckled: I’m surprised that you could befriend such a difficult person like Leila Tong
Linda: Well...I was always told that I’m a very sociable person...I guess it’s true
Leila: It’s not like I’m so difficult to deal with...and you should know that very well Lam Sir (she winked at him)
Linda: well I better get back out there to tell everyone that you’re fine...both of you...
Ron: I’ll join you, I think I’ve disturbed Leila long enough
Leila: You know I wouldn’t mind spending the rest of my life with you...
Ron cleared his throat: Well...I’ll leave you alone anyways...
He walked out of the room with Linda and as he walked out his phone rang
Ron: Hello?
Lady: Did he call you yet?
Ron: Myolie? Umm...
Myolie: Ron...is there something wrong?
Ron: I don’t really know
Myolie: what do you mean you don’t know? It’s either there’s something wrong or not...it’s really not that complicated
Ron: Well...someone found Ray’s cell phone
Myolie: He lost his phone? That’s even more irresponsible than not showing up in court
Ron: I don’t think he technically lost it
Myolie: What do you mean?
Ron: Ray’s my brother, I know him really well...probably a lot better than you since...well we’re brothers...and I know even if my brother is the biggest flirt and can act really irresponsibly in relationships, but...he takes his work really seriously...so...
Myolie: You’re trying to tell me something happened to him?
Ron: It’s only my assumption at this point...but we can’t really file a missing person’s case yet since it’s only been a few hours...but if he still doesn’t show up by tomorrow...
Myolie: What do you mean by ‘if,’ he’s your brother...what if...he IS in danger?
Ron: It’s ok...I know he’ll be fine
Myolie: How do you know? What if something happens to him...how are you going to face your father?
Ron: Calm down Myolie...Raymond should be fine...
Myolie: This was his fault...
Ron chuckled: Even when you’re worried about him, you still complain about him...sister in-law
Myolie: What did you call me?
Ron: Oh come on, you and my brother are always quarrelling just like a married couple...
Myolie: That’s because we can’t seem to get along
Ron: Or is that you feel uncomfortable when he’s with someone else...
Myolie: Why are you even talking about this? Shouldn’t you be more concerned with your own brother’s whereabouts?
Ron: I’m on it...and when I find Raymond, I’ll tell him that there’s someone who is very worried about him. Now I have to get back to work...bye
With that he ended their conversation...what could he possibly do now? He didn’t know where brother is was nor did he know who was behind all of this. Who exactly did Raymond upset that would take him down such a road...
~Warehouse~
Raymond: What exactly do you want with me?
Charmaine: I really detest your tone...can’t you be a little bit more suave...like your usual self, with those buttered up words and those very luring eyes?
Raymond laughed: I would talk to you in such a suave style if I knew you were the innocent Charmaine Sheh that was the beloved daughter of my mentor
Charmaine chuckled: Yes I was innocent indeed back then, I remember whenever my dad asked you to take me to some event, and you’d say how busy you were and come up with an excuse...
Raymond: Is this what this is all about? Me, not asking you to some stupid event back then?
Charmaine: Oh no...I’m not so childish you see...there’s a much better reason than that. You made me feel very little about myself since...you never seemed to pay much attention to me...and obviously rejected all invitations that my dad had given you...but that’s still not the main reason.
Raymond: Then what exactly is the main reason?
Charmaine: When I moved...I made a lot of friends abroad...they were always nice to me...and then I found my true calling...men always wanted to take advantage of me or hurt me emotionally...so I had to seek comfort in people like me...women...
Raymond: Your point is?
Charmaine: You know...you should really stop interrupting me
She turned around and told one of men standing behind her to take a punch at Raymond
Charmaine: As I was saying...I met this girl...she was really nice...and she told me where she was from and we shared a lot of similarities. I thought we were close, much closer than friends...and then one summer she went back here to vacation with her family...when I saw her again she seemed extremely depressed...though I didn’t know why...I tried to ask her, but she refused to tell me. My heart ached watching her suffer through all of this depression, I felt useless not knowing why she was in such pain...and then one day...
At this moment a tear had trickled down Charmaine’s face...
Charmaine: I found her lying on the couch, with a bottle of wine, and sleeping pills...but when I found her it was just too late...I called the police and everything...by the time we reached the hospital she had already died...she died because she had no will to live on...and you know what hurt me the most was the fact that I didn’t know why she died, I didn’t know why she was depressed and I didn’t know why I was so useless...
One of the men that was standing behind her came over and placed a hand on her shoulder
Charmaine immediately pushed him away: You men are all the same! Get away from me!
She continued to cry...
Charmaine: Months after she died...I went back to her place and found her diary...I couldn’t believe how stupid I was not thinking about reading her diary to find out why she was depressed all of a sudden...and then when I read it...I saw your name...yes you Raymond Lam!
Raymond: Me? What in the world do I have to do with your dead friend?
Charmaine laughed a high pitched laugh through her tears: Well Mr. Lam...
To Be Continued...
