The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 88 - Finding Bonnie Part 1

Last night, Johanna and Conrad had been searching for Bonnie starting from her apartment. And then, they reported that she was missing. Conrad had men who started investigating before the police. Johanna asked him to start searching before they reported it. And Johanna was paying for everything. She's doing it for free and for Keira that's why she insisted on coming with Conrad. She also hasn't discussed it with Keira.

Now, they are having lunch with their bodyguards and Vanessa. Everyone looked happy with the dishes on the table. Keira and Alessandro were laughing with them as their bodyguards made jokes about their experiences as a bodyguard and security. Conrad didn't say much but he was making jokes enough to make Vanessa fall in love. During his days as a bodyguard, he always chatted with Vanessa.

"Are you married?" Vanessa asked. Conrad raised his left finger.

"You don't see any ring, right?" He winked at Vanessa who giggled.

"You can always remove the ring," Vanessa said.

"I'm not married or committed to anyone." He said to make it sure for Vanessa.

"So, who are you interested in at the moment?" Keira asked as Alessandro pinched her sides.

"I am interested with," he eyed the lobster. "That lobster." He grinned.

Keira snorted.

"I'm serious."

Conrad laughed and took the lobster that was already separated from the shell.

"Your lunch here was always good," Conrad said. "I think I should stay and extend my contract, Mr. De Alegre."

Alessandro laughed and nodded.

"Sure, don't mess it up," Alessandro said.

After their lunch, Conrad followed Johanna to Keira's office while Alessandro left a while ago. Keira was rummaging in her closet as Johanna dictates her schedule for the afternoon.

"I already set up a meeting with the board next Wednesday, also you have a seminar at Tagaytay with your husband. That would be on Friday."

"Yes," Keira said. "They take my husband as one of the speakers."

"Also," Johanna exhaled. "I'll tell you other details later."

"Alright."

Keira went to the recording room, looking like a trainer with a messy hair bun, big eyeglasses, no make-up, and a casual shirt with a cello printed on it and high-waist jeans. She looked more like a teenager.

"Hi, Vincent." Keira extended her hand toward Vincent. "I'm your trainer and the one who entrusted that composition to you."

"Hello," he shook her hand as he kept glancing at her.

"Let's start with vocal exercise."

Vincent has been practicing the composition for an hour as he read the notes and planted them on his head. It's a beautiful song and it already gives him that last song syndrome. The woman exercises it for him and he never thought that she's familiar with the song. He already had this big admiration toward Keira.

Johanna kept locating their investigators that were finding Bonnie. She didn't mention it to Vanessa since she's only accountable for sorting the documents, assisting Keira with clothes, foods, and schedules. She was the one who did lots of errands for them. Besides, she didn't want her to get involved or her life would be at risk.

"So," Conrad bent down as he held at the back of her swivel chair with his other hand on the desk to cornered her. "What did you find?"

She sighed and pushed him.

"Nothing."

"We can go for another adventure tonight." He grinned at her.

"Okay, stop messing around, Conrad."

Johanna knew that he's only doing it so that her mind stopped thinking that she nearly died a while ago.

"Oh, by the way. I'm hungry. Can you order me something?" He pouted at him.

"Ask Vanessa. It's her job to feed you and the bodyguards."

"You are so harsh," Conrad mumbled as he left her office and went outside to Vanessa's table. She watched as Conrad flirted with Vanessa as the girl flirted back. She shook her and just realized that he's just too friendly to everyone.

She stood when Keira came back with the female bodyguard that always accompanied her. The female bodyguard was quiet but Conrad knew her well as he teased her. The woman was always serious and she was there when Johanna almost got killed. She also pointed a gun toward the man who took their envelope. She's like Conrad too.

"Don't you want to have a snack?" Keira asked Agent MJ.

"No, ma'am. I'll have to get back to you as soon as possible before you leave the premises."

"Alright."

Johanna remembered that the female bodyguard didn't stick with Keira after she was escorted back home. However, there's a female rider that Conrad spoke with last night. Could it be MJ? Conrad entered her office with a sandwich in his hands and he gestured it to her. She shook her head and signed him to come closer.

"What is it, boss?" He asked.

"It was MJ from last night, right?"

Conrad only nodded.

"She hasn't reported it to Keira?"

He shook his head.

"Okay." She stood and took her tablet.

"You don't want to snack?"

"No." She answered coldly as she went directly to Keira's office. She knocked first and went to her desk while Keira was reading a few documents. "We confirmed that Bonnie was the one who feeds information to the killers." She said that made Keira stop reading. She put down the document and looked up at Johanna. "But she's been kidnapped. We are searching for her."

"Oh, crap," Keira mumbled. "What else?"

"I heard from Conrad that Nancy was trying to take Louise's money from her lawyer."

Keira froze as she smirked and reached her fountain pen.

"You don't have enough sleep, Jo." She said.

"I~I can't sleep."

"Mom might be already in your penthouse." Keira stood. "Leave it to Conrad and MJ. They know what to do."

"But, Keira…" Johanna insisted on getting involved.

"A while ago, I thought that I was going to lose you. I'll lose my shit too, Johanna. I will blame myself for not protecting you. All of these happened because of me." Keira paused and clenched her fist. "Stop dealing with them. I am doing this to protect you."

"After you were hospitalized and stayed in the States, dad asked me something."

"What?" Keira became more serious.

"He asked me to protect you and mom. He knew that I was the only one that could do it. So, I trained myself, my mind, and my body to be strong. Keira, I am older than you and I am your big sister although not by blood. And I will do everything to protect you."

"Jo," Keira's eyes started becoming cloudy. "I don't want to lose you too." She said softly.

"Keira, you already hired a bodyguard for. It's enough."

"Don't be stubborn!" She exclaimed and stood.

Johanna walked around, put her tablet on the table, and scooped her face.

"I'll hunt Wendy down for you too." Johanna kissed her forehead. "I have Conrad with me and since I know Nancy and Bonnie, it'll be easy for us to find a lead. Let me be."

Keira was speechless.

"Don't worry about it, Keira. I promise not to die. I'm leaving early, okay? Make sure that you are safe."

Keira nodded. Johanna took her tablet and left her office. Then, she went back to her office and organized her things. Conrad was busy sipping on the coffee while watching something from his phone.

"We are leaving early." She said as she locked her drawers and put the keys to her bag.

"Why?" Conrad asked.

"Mom will stay at the penthouse and we have to visit someone else's place. Also, we are using your bike."

"Fine with me." Conrad shrugged. "Where are we going?"

"To find Bonnie."

Conrad stopped.

"Are you sure about this? It'll be boring."

"You are telling me that investigating is boring?" She raised her brows. He chuckled and finished his coffee and threw it in the bin.

"Alright," He nodded.

"I'm going to change clothes first." She went to her cabinet where she had a personal wardrobe as she took her jeans and shirt.

"You can undress here." He teased. She frowned and turned to him.

"Why won't you go out and strip in front of them? I'll play something nice for you."

Conrad roared in laughter as he stood and stretched his arms.

"Want me to dance right now?" He teased back.

"I'm not interested."

She went to her bathroom and changed her clothes quickly. When he came out, she found him already flirting with Vanessa. Well, he must be known as a playboy. She changed her bag into a small backpack and brushed her hair. She needed to make sure that they would find Bonnie. If not, it'll be hard if they find her that she's already dead.

They went to the parking lot and he gave her a bulletproof jacket. She didn't complain since he's probably worried about her safety like the last time.

"Wrapped your arms around my hot body." Conrad teased.

"When are you going to stop teasing me?" She asked as she bent down and hugged his waist.

"Maybe if you stop being expressionless." He said as he started his bike. She was a little scared of big bikes but he was a careful driver. "And don't sleep." He added. She glanced at Nancy's car as they passed by it. Then, she came out with a smile as she spoke to someone over the phone.

Nancy was one of their suspects about Louise's death and she wondered about Nancy's involvement.
