When Herman heard Anastasia’s voice over the phone, he couldn’t help but miss her, even though he had just stepped out of the company’s main entrance.
Getting to Willowbrook would be a two-hour journey, and it was just past eleven at night. There was still plenty of time. After hanging up, Herman issued orders to Nelson, who was next to him, “Book a flight to Willowbrook now. No, make that a private jet. It would be faster. Get on it, Nelson.”
Laughing, Nelson replied, “Mr. Salstrom, your wife has only been gone half a day.”.
“Only half a day?” Herman retorted. It felt like an eternity had passed. Used to sharing his bed with his wife every night, Herman’s heart was already in Willowbrook at the mere thought of sleeping alone tonight.
“I’ll get right on it.” Nelson assured, “Should I cancel your work schedule for tomorrow? Oh, and Christia from Willowbrook invited you over yesterday. Should we arrange a meeting?”
“Which Christia?” Herman asked. There were too many people in the industry for Herman to remember everyone.
Nelson clarified, “Christia, the chairman of PowerSource Electronics, also known as the Iron Lady. She’s invited you over three times now.”
Herman remembered. Christia was a major figure in the business world: Her journey from: saleswoman to her current position was legendary, and there wasn’t a person in the industry who didn’t respect her.
“I’ll give her a call later.” Herman decided, “You take care of the rest.”
“Understood, Mr. Salstrom.” Nelson said.
In Willowbrook, Anastasia was getting ready for bed but couldn’t help worrying about Flynn next door. Now living in the room Tavon had prepared for her, the two had switched rooms.
Changing into her pajamas, Anastasia knocked on Flynn’s door. Flynn was about to go to bed when Anastasia appeared. “Ms. Anastasia.” Flynn asked, looking puzzled, “What’s up so late?”
“Let’s talk inside.” Anastasia entered the room first.
“Ms. Anastasia.” Flynn rushed to say, “It’s inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone this late at night. My brother would kill me.”
“Is there something wrong with your brain?” Anastasia rolled her eyes, asking, “Don’t you feel that something’s off? I have a bad feeling Ashley and the others will make a move tonight.”
“There’s nothing wrong.” Flynn reassured her, “I’ve locked the door, and there are no surveillance devices. Maybe you’re just being overly paranoid. I know Tae Kwon Do, so I can handle myself.”
“Alright then, I’m going back to my room. Call me if you need anything.” Anastasia instructed before returning to her room.
Flynn went back to bed, not taking Anastasia’s words too seriously.
In the middle of the night. As Flynn was sleeping, two figures entered his room, using a spare room key. It was too dark to make out Flynn’s face, but they could tell someone was in bed. After a quick glance at each other, one man put his hand over Flynn’s mouth while the other held down Flynn’s feet. Flynn woke up in a panic but quickly pushed away the man covering his mouth and threw him onto the bed.
The other man was taken aback by Flynn’s resistance. Seizing the moment, Flynn kicked the man away. “So Anastasia was right. Come on, let’s have some fun.” Flynn said, thrilled. It had been a while
since he had a good fight.
The two men were confused. They were told to look for a woman, so why was there a man here? Had they entered the wrong room?
Seeing the situation go south, they tried to make a run for it. But they were no match for Flynn. In no time, Flynn had them both restrained. Unable to find anything else, he used bed sheets to tie them up, leaving only their heads exposed.
After dealing with them, Flynn turned on the lights and called Anastasia, “Anastasia, I’ve caught two bad guys. Come take a look.”
