At the chief justice office,
A few months earlier, the Chief Justice had received a letter anonymously. It stated that the citizens of Narnia who died in multiple gunfires against the terrorists, over the years, in different countries, were a fabrication of the truth.
Upon initial investigation, they found out that those men and women were the most talented research students from the Imperial University and the colleges which were affiliated with the Imperial University.
Those students were either compelled or offered a wealth of knowledge or money to leave the country. And whoever went that way, never returned. They also didn't find the whereabouts of a few more research students who had left the country.
Nobody was aware if everyone was dead or only a few. There were many theories behind their death but nothing accurate. So they need to find out about the organization to protect the knowledge treasure of the country of innocent lives.
To know about the organization, they need to find the link that connects the country with the organization.
Thus Anya's next mission was to find out the man or a group who were human trafficking the students.
Their initial plan was to announce Anya's fake resignation from the job. Then they would recommend her to the university to become an assistant professor to promote and teach ethical hacking. She would also do her further studies at the university. That way she could keep an eye on both teaching staff and students.
The mission might take a few years as getting an exceptionally qualified student as the next victim wouldn't be easy. Thus Anya could add more degrees to her basket by completing her postgraduation and research.
It was the plan Anya came up with and got their support. Hearing the chief Justice remind her, she clarified to them that her new changes weren't that important, "If I can't be dean, I will follow the plan."
The Chief Justice argued, "Officer Owen never had a plan B." Her plan A for her missions always worked, credit goes to her efforts and confidence.
However, Jason had a question after judging her plan, "Did you make this decision because of the mission or personal motive?" He was well aware of Gianna's animosity towards them.
Anya's main plan was still the same but there were minor changes that didn't need the two men's attention. However, it was true that the minor changes were because of her private motive. So Anya didn't lie. She didn't feel the necessity to hide it either, "Personal." Her response was clear and crisp without a hint of hesitation.
Jason and the chief justice, who was racking their brain, stopped thinking right after hearing her. They don't have to accommodate her personal motives unless her life is at risk.
Jason asked to know the motive behind her presence there, "Officer Owen, how may we help you?"
Anya knew they couldn't help her and she wasn't there to ask for their help either, "I just came to report my change in the plan."
Chief Justice and Jason: "…"
Assistant Wen laughed silently seeing how she left the notorious men to mute after creating a storm.
The three men: "…"
The three men felt like she was boasting about her boyfriend instead of giving them a heads up that Alvin will find out about her job which has to be a secret.
Getting no refusal for her ridiculous plan, Anya left the office to her next destination - the Matthews headquarters.
Back inside the office, Assistant Wen probed the men, "Sir, Officer Owen could qualify for the dean position when her name is announced for President's Award." He couldn't understand why they hid it from her.
The board members of Imperial University would grab the chance as her name could be a massive marketing point for the Imperial University.
The two looked at the assistant and each other. That thought did cross their mind. However, ignoring the fact that Anya was doing it for her gain they don't have to accommodate her, Officer Owen, they knew will have her reason and plan after choosing the highest position.
Chief Justice smirked when he interpreted Anya's plan. Her resignation would be announced as a secret service officer to clear her name in the media. The criminals will be alarmed when she joins as an assistant professor or student. They would still consider her a spy.
However, if she joined as a member of the Matthews family, people would look down on her and that was her advantage to drop the guards down on those criminals.
Jason crossed his legs as he voiced his deduction, "She is suspicious of board members." There was a team working on it and the master of it couldn't be a simple person but had access to university data. And the only quick and not-so-easy way to enter the board of Imperial University was through the Matthews family.
Assistant Wen couldn't understand how their brain worked. He hoped her life wouldn't be in danger.
—––––––
At Matthews headquarters,
Anya just halted the car when she noticed Rolls Royce Phantom came to the entrance of the building. It was Alvin's car, she got out of the car, wondering the reason behind his visit.
The chauffeur got off the car and greeted her, "Ms. Owen."
Anya nodded with a faint smile. Seeing him in uniform without a layer of warm cloth, "Please get in the car. It's cold outside."
The chauffeur could bear that cold, anyway, he listened to her instruction.
Anya watched her boyfriend and son grabbing everyone's attention. People were stopping in their tracks to look at them in awe.
She wasn't a beauty to turn heads. She sighed understanding why men get possessive of their beautiful women. 'Even the stupid sunglasses couldn't hide his impressive looks.'
"Momma…" Zane's face glowed like the sun in the spring. He started jogging towards her while the eyes of the watchers caught the slender lady next to the Rolls Royce.
'Mother?' If Anya was a mother, then who is the father? 'Alvin Matthews?' They were curious. Hence they couldn't help but judge Anya Owen by her looks and outfit.
As it wasn't her working day, Anya had chosen to wear a white sweater dress. A thin brown belt defined her slim waist whereas the logo on the belt spoke about the brand. A warm brown scarf was wrapped around her neck, paired with the same colored knee-length boots.
Her petite face was pretty, she had a slim and fit physique. But she didn't look much special to their eyes.
It wasn't new that Alvin always tried to unburden her. So Anya guessed Alvin was there to handle Gianna so that the dean's position could be given to her. She could have handled her job and her ridiculous plans. Anyway, she felt warm and doted on to see him go forward to help her.
"My Baby.' She hugged her son. "How was your school today?"
Zane flashed her a sweet smile but it vanished as he sighed, "Momma, Jia again got scolded." For calling him her boyfriend when shooing a girl away from Zane. The teacher had warned her repeatedly to behave for her age.
"The home teacher asked me to bring you and called for Jia's parents too." The teacher was aware that both of their parents were well acquainted.
Anya chuckled helplessly. If this continues, the teacher would change their classes and Jia will cry her eyes out until they put them into the same class. Anya nodded at her son, "Mommy will meet your teacher tomorrow."
By the end of her words, a hand wrapped around Zane's body. Zane hissed, kicking his legs in the air, "Chipmunk Monster!!"
Wasn't Chipmunk Monster so cool upstairs? Why was he childish again?
The backdoor of the car opened. Alvin left his little enemy in the car and closed the door.
Anya and Zane: "…"
"Why are you here?" Alvin's husky voice sounded next to her ear, causing her to jump and face him.
With his hands pressed against the car, trapped inside his arms, Anya gently punched his stomach to behave in public. Especially when their son could see them through the car windows.
Well, Alvin did the exact opposite. He moved closer causing her to push her head back and widen her eyes. If not for her hands between them, he probably would have covered that distance too.
Alvin dipped his head and brought his ear closer to her mouth and probed her for the response, "Yes!?"
Anya's eyes brushed over the smooth curve of his ear and fell on the people who were watching them in disbelief and shock. Then she looked back at the man who was in a mood to play with her. Her lips curled to a mischief arc. Instead of responding to him, she quickly tugged the corner of his ear with her lips.
Alvin: "…"
His eyes darkened, feeling her hot breath and the tip of his ear between her soft plump lips. He closed his eyes to keep his body cool.
He was expecting her to push him away and he would have pulled her into his arms. But she went a step ahead to cross out his plan.
Who was teaching her all these?
Tilting back his head, he squinted his eyes at the woman who was controlling her grin. "Anya Owen, you should…"
Anya swiftly sealed his mouth with a peck on his tempting lips that were kissing the air.
Alvin: "..."
Drawing his sunglasses, she wore them seeing his captivating face. She stuck her tongue out and tried to hide her smug smile.
He would stop playing with her, wouldn't he?
