It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 38

“What did you just say?” Howell asked incredulously.

“Mr. Fu, I received a report from the Middle East that John has failed,” the man said respectfully in the video.

“I’m going to the Middle East right away,” Howell said.

“Mr Fu, the situation there is still unclear at the moment. It’s too risky for you to go. » The man looked worried.

” No. I have to meet this man face to face. He needs to give me an explanation. Howell’s voice was filled with anger.

The man he was talking about had been an emerging underworld figure over the past ten years. This man was mean and vicious. When Howell was having trouble finding the dark forces linked to the Evans family in the underworld, this man appeared. But Howell had never met the man in person. He just saw the man’s blurred back in the video and heard his voice which was processed by the voice changing device. However, the systematic way the man planned things caused Howell to fall into this situation, and he could no longer escape.

Even if he wanted to, it was already too late for him to give up. So all he could do now was bet everything on this deal, and maybe there was still a little wiggle room.

In Egypt

“Sir, Howell has entered Egyptian territory. » Saying this, Kaleb plugged the video into the airport surveillance system.

“He’s so impatient, huh?” Malcolm said, raising his eyebrows. He was a little surprised to know this.

“How dare this old man come? Does he intend to declare war? “, Enoch shouted in anger, his eyes wide open, staring at the man in the video.

” I do not believe. He must be here to find the middleman,” replied Malcolm coldly who was also looking at the man in the video.

” Exact! After all, it is difficult for him to get involved in the affairs of the Evans family. » There was a hint of disdain in Enoch’s voice. He then turned to Malcolm, who remained silent, and asked, “Malcolm, what do you want to do?” Who is this intermediary? “

Well, it’s time to solve this matter,” Malcolm replied with some indifference. He did not answer Enoch on the question of the intermediary.

Enoch shrugged. He knew well that if Malcolm didn’t want to tell him something, he couldn’t get an answer. Malcolm was the god of death in the underworld. If he made a move to attack, no prey could escape him.

In the city S

As soon as Lucia walked out of the company building, she felt like someone was following her. But when she turned around, she found no one behind her.

“Am I being followed? », thought Lucia. “Could it be that a bad man wants to attack me? No! He couldn’t do that in broad daylight. A paparazzi maybe? But no one should be insensitive to challenge Malcolm’s authority. » Since Malcolm’s interview in front of the building, his life had been peaceful. All the reporters automatically left his sight as if nothing had happened before. “Are they targeting me again after learning Malcolm left the country? »

As Lucia thought about the possibilities, she became more and more confused. Bizarre scenes appear in his mind, one after another.

His thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his phone. She looked at the screen to see who was calling and quickly answered. ” Oh no! » She cried inside. When she wanted to rest, her work always needed her.

“Hey, Lucia, do you have anything planned tonight? » Meade’s voice came from the other end of the line.

” What’s the matter? » Looking at the subway door in front of her, Lucia understood that there was no longer the slightest hope for her to return home.

“Actually, it’s not me. It’s Jay. He wants you to try on Allen’s makeup tonight. Filming will start next Friday. » Meade delivered the message quickly.

” I see. Send me the address. I’ll be there soon. » Lucia heaved a sigh.

After a while, she received the address of Allen’s studio on her phone. When she saw the address, she became angry. People in the entertainment industry were very evil. Jay loved having meetings at Starbucks. But each time, he didn’t choose the branch close to everyone. He always chose a Starbucks with a relatively remote location. And Allen’s studio was located in a remote corner intended for romantic purposes.

Truth be told, it shouldn’t be called a corner. It was a business district that Lucia didn’t know. Lucia hated having to go to places she didn’t know. Seeing the setting sun and feeling the heat coming off the road, she knew it was the hardest time of the day.

It took him over an hour to get to Allen’s studio. She looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already past seven o’clock. She probably won’t be able to go to bed until midnight tonight.

“Oh, my bed… I miss you so much already,” Lucia thought, sighing silently.

“Honey, here you are finally!” I thought you got lost,” Allen said. He was gay and had feminized behaviors.

“Call me Lucia.” Calling me “sweetheart” gives me goosebumps. » Indeed, Lucia really had goosebumps all over.

“Okay, as you wish, Lucia. Come on, let’s start early, so we can finish early too. » Allen then walked in front of her coquettishly.

After sitting in a chair, Lucia left him to put makeup on her face. She cooperated well with all his orders. She looked like a classic doll, who never resisted anything that was done to her face. Allen was so satisfied with Lucia’s cooperation that he kept nodding his head.

Three hours later, he finally stopped and smiled with satisfaction. He was very impressed when he looked at Lucia’s reflection in the mirror. In fact, the first time Allen saw Lucia, he knew that with the s*x appeal she exuded, she was the most suitable for the shoot. And after personally doing her makeup tonight, he was completely entranced by her.

” Perfect! Lucia, you are the tailor-made model for “Lure”. » Allen couldn’t help but compliment Lucia.

“Allen…Why don’t you just say that ‘Lure’ is a perfume made especially for me?” », replied Lucia impatiently.

“Yes, that’s the secret! Fantastic! Jay will definitely love you when he sees you that day. » Allen didn’t care at all about what Lucia said. He was lost in his own imagination.

” We have finished? Can I go now? » Lucia no longer wanted to waste time fooling around with Allen. She knew that people like him were absolutely monsters when they went crazy.

Jay was a monster, and Allen wouldn’t be any better. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have cooperated with each other for so long. They seemed to be inseparable now. It was known that Allen only did makeup and hair for high-profile celebrities. How could he do this without possessing absolute strength?

” Yes of course. We’ll see you at the studio next Friday. » Allen helped Lucia remove her makeup. Then he bid her farewell with grace.

Lucia came out of Allen’s studio looking tired. She stopped at the side of the road to hail a taxi to go back to the apartment. The only thing she wanted to do now was sleep. No, she would first have a bowl of beef noodles when she got home. Then she would take a hot bath and sleep well. She would take the day off tomorrow. “Since I worked overtime tonight, I deserve to take a break tomorrow, right? If anyone objects, I’ll let them run the commercial instead. »

When Lucia saw a taxi slowly approaching, she waved and he stopped in front of her accurately. She opened the door and sat in the back seat. But as she was about to give the driver the address, she realized there was someone else in the car.

” Sorry. I thought this taxi was free. » Lucia apologized and was about to get out of the taxi.

“Ahhh!” she suddenly shouted because the man next to her pressed her, taking out a rope to tie her up. Then, with duct tape, he closed her mouth and signaled the driver to go to his destination.

Lucia tried her best to keep calm and turned her head to look at the man next to her. She was aware that no matter how hard she struggled or screamed now, it would do no good. “Am I being robbed? Or am I being kidnapped? » It reminded him of what happened to Ella. Whatever caused Ella’s accident, it had affected the filming schedule and the launch of the perfume in the market. Was it the same again this time? No! No outside person knew that she had replaced Ella as a model. Lucia quickly dismissed this idea in her mind.

“You’re a lot calmer than I thought,” the man said suddenly.

Since Lucia’s mouth was taped, she couldn’t answer. So she just stared at him. “So they took me away. who is behind all this? What do they want? »

“You want to know why I’m kidnapping you? the man asked as if reading her thoughts.

Lucia looked closely at the man’s figure. He was strong, which meant he exercised regularly. His face looked firm, and his facial features were ordinary. He was not the type of man to attract attention on the street. But the long scar on his forehead was somewhat hideous.

“Well, you better remember my face.” Because you’ll never get the chance to see him again,” the man said word for word. His voice was cold and relentless.

“There’s a car behind us,” the driver said suddenly.

“Get rid of her!” “, the man ordered.

He turned to look at the car behind them. She was obviously following them, because when they sped up, she sped up too. Then he ignored the car behind them and glanced at Lucia. After a while the car was left behind. Lucia was unpleasantly shaken by the speed of the car.

Finally, the taxi arrived at its destination. The man dragged Lucia out of the car. Then he roughly pushed her to the ground. Lucia struggled and knelt on the ground. She was completely foreign to this environment. They must be in a deserted place on the outskirts of city S.

A hint of panic rose in Lucia’s heart, but she tried to suppress it. She needed to calm down. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to find a way out of this difficult situation. But very quickly, she realized that she had no hope. They were the only ones there. Standing in front of Lucia, the man raised his gun and pointed it at her forehead. As the sound of loading reached his ears, he slowly placed his index finger on the trigger. She closed her eyes and no longer dared to look at the terrifying scene unfolding before her.

But strangely, the silent fear in his heart seemed to disappear. She became calm. Oddly enough, she remembered Malcolm’s words when she was in the hospital.

“Wildcat, be strong for me.” »

Lucia suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at the man in front of her without fear. There was a hint of unyielding stubbornness in his eyes. But his gaze didn’t stop the man from doing his job. When he finally pulled the trigger, she closed her eyes again.

A gunshot rang out somewhat dully in the empty space.
