Stephen's POV

Work was sprawled on my glass desk in the form of various documents requiring my attention. My personal assistant came inside the room after a knock.

"Sir, the private investigator Mr John wants to meet you." An unwelcoming intuition raced inside my heart. John often called before he came to my office and most importantly it was unlikely that he would disturb me when I'm at work. But today he had failed both his routine practices which said the situation was grave and immediately required my attention.
