Billionaire's Pleasure-Chapter 47: Blood Confrontation

Sebastian’s POV

When our meeting ended I immediately tried to talk to Edward privately.

"Edward..." I said as I left the conference room.

"Yes? Do you have something to say, Sebastian? " Edward asked me.

"Yes, I would like to talk to you privately, just the two of us if possible."

"Sure, seems like it’s very important what you going to say to me. Are we going to talk inside the conference room? "

"No, let’s just talk in my office."

"Okay, I’ll just get something in my car for a moment. I’ll be right back." Edward said.

"Okay, no problem."

I walked back to my office with Geisel. She just quietly walks beside me.

"What are you thinking Geisel? You were quiet before even when I was in a meeting, " I said.

"Um... sorry Mr. Sebastian, I just can’t believe that Mr. Edward has to do with Mr. Louis’s disappearance. "

"I’m still not sure that Edward really had anything to do with Louis’s disappearance, that is why I’ll talk to him about it."

"I hope Mr. Edward has nothing to do with Mr. Louis’s disappearance, I know that they are close to each other. "

I suddenly turned to Geisel. I looked at her. I wonder if she seems to be worried about Edward’s condition.

"I’ve been your secretary Geisel for a long time, so I can say I know you better. So, tell me. Do you have feelings for Edward? "

Geisel was suddenly surprised by what I said, I saw her suddenly blush. Now, even if she doesn’t tell me her answer I already know.

"Nevermind. By the way, by the time Edward comes to my office, you have no one else to let in, okay? The conversation between us is private and important. So, I don’t want anyone else to know about our conversation. I trust you so you take care, okay? "

"Yes, Mr. Sebastian. I understand. I have to go now, " Geisel said and then walked away.

I went into my office and sat in my chair. While waiting for Edward I first opened my emails and processed them. A few minutes later I heard a knock on my door. I know it’s Edward so I said just came in.

"Hey," Edward said.

"Please seat. Want to drink something? "I said.

"Sure."

I stood up and grabbed a bottle of red wine and two glasses. I poured wine into his glass and I also poured mine.

"How’s the taste of it? That red wine was made from France," I said.

"Taste good. I like it. By the way, what are we going to talk about? "

"Um... about Louis," I replied while drinking my wine.

I saw Edward suddenly look at me as if he was surprised by what I said.

"Okay, what’s about Louis?"

"Did you know he was missing before I said this in the conference room?"

"What? Of course not. I didn’t know Louis had been missing already in the past few days, your dad hadn’t told me about Louis’ disappearance. Wait, why are you asking me this thing? Are you suspecting me that I had anything to do with his disappearance? "

"Should I suspect you? I’m just asking Edward, I thought maybe dad already told you because you two are close to each other. "

"Then my answer is no. He is my cousin. You’re my cousin. I have no motive to hurt him and your family. I respect him so much. So, I can’t imagine that I would do anything bad to him. I don’t know why you asked me that question but I’m telling you the truth, Sebastian. "

"Okay, Stella’s friend... Carla if you still know her, she heard Apple talking on the phone which is your girlfriend, she heard Apple mention Louis’ name, which is I don’t know why she mentioned his name. They are not even close to each other. So, it means the person Apple is talking to on the other line knows Louis. "

"Now, I see. So, you’re suspecting me that I’m the one talking to Apple that day which is I’m telling you right now that I’m totally sure it’s not me. Yes, Apple and I were talking to each other through phone calls but I never involved Louis in our conversation. "

"So, if he wasn’t talking to you that day. Who was Apple talking about that day? "

"Honestly, I was shocked when you told me that. Apple tells me nothing regarding Louis and I don’t know anything about it. I guess I need to talk to Apple regarding that. "

"If your girlfriend knows anything about Louis’ disappearance, it would be better for her not to know what we talked about because I’m sure she’ll be even more careful. Let’s just keep it between us. "

"Okay, if that’s what you want, it’s up to you."

"You shouldn’t trust Apple so much. She seems to have a lot of secrets in her life that you don’t know. I am still hoping that he has nothing to do with Louis or else - "

"Else what? You are going to kill her? " Edward asked seriously.

"Does she deserve to die?" I ask Edward also.

"You know that you don’t need to kill someone. You have no right to do that. "

"And your girlfriend has the right?"

"What the hell you’re saying? You’re not even sure if Apple had anything to do with Louis’s disappearance, why do you seem to be making accusations as you made me a while ago. "

"Are you protecting your girlfriend?" I asked seriously.

"I am not protecting her but she is still my girlfriend and you don’t have the right to accuse her without enough evidence. It doesn’t mean that Carla heard Apple mention Louis’s name, it was immediately related to his disappearance. " 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Edward and I just looked at each other seriously. I took a deep breath and stood up in my seat as I drink my wine. I looked at the family picture of us hanging on the office wall. That photo was the last photo of us together as a family. I was little a child in that picture so I don’t have very fond memories of my whole family but I know Louis was always there for me... to protect me and to save me.

"I lost mom when I was a child... so, I won’t let Louis disappear from my life again," I said to Edward while looking at our family picture.

"I understand, Sebastian. He is your older brother, your family and if Apple was involved in Louis’s disappearance... even if it hurts I will do the right thing. I will surrender Apple to you. "

I turned to Edward and tried to smile in front of him. "Thank you, Edward. And I am sorry if I accused you a while ago. I don’t know what to do anymore; I don’t know where to look for Louis or who to look for him. I am at loss right now. "

"Didn’t Louis even leave you a text message before he disappeared?"

"If I still remember he had the last text message to Michelle, he just said, he just needs time and space to think but days have passed already and he still has not contacted us so we began to worry about him. I know him, he’s not that kind of person, and he won’t suddenly disappear and won’t feel like that for that long. He always updates me even if he has business trips abroad or he has a vacation. And what is happening right now, I know it’s not right, " I explained.

"I understand, Sebastian. Don’t worry; I will update you once I have information on Louis as well. Louis will be found, don’t worry. Just for now, let’s focus on working for the company first. Remember, Louis has a lot of work left for us to do. By the time the company’s other competitors find out about this issue. For sure, they will take a big step to outdo us so it is better not to let out this issue. "

"Yea, I know. That is why I don’t tell this issue to the employees here except Geisel and you Nicholas and Andrew," I explained.

"Okay, it’s better that way. Do you have something to say more? " Edward asked me.

"Um, that’s all."

"Then I will leave then because I still have important things to take care of. Just call me or message me if you need anything from me. "

"Okay, thank you, Edward," I said.

Edward got up and left my office. What he told me right now seems convincing but I still have to be careful with him and I’d rather not tell him first about what I found out between him and Steve. I went back to my seat and look up my phone, I saw Stella’s missed calls and she also sent me a text message. When I open the text message I suddenly felt shocked and could not believe what I read.
