After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel) novel Chapter 8

“What?” Anastasia blinked in surprise after hearing what Logan had said. “He didn’t request for any money?”

“Yes. As a matter of fact, it seemed like he was doing it not out of crude or hatred, but rather obligation. At first I thought something was wrong, I tried refusing it, trust me, but he insist and before I knew it, that bastard had dumped the concept and vanished.”

Anastasia brows knitted together more. This wasn’t at all in the file that Kareem had given her. In fact, going back to what he had told her when briefing her about the case, he said the employee’s motive for selling the concepts was because they had gotten fired and had a personal grudge against the company.

But that wasn’t the case, at least not from both sides.

“And did you tell your attorney this or-“

“Yes, I have. I even explained the whole goddamn thing to Riley when his lawyer dropped by yesterday, but he refused to listen. He thinks I’m covering for the employee.” Logan sighed. “Look, I’m telling you the truth, you don’t have to believe me, but please, convince the company and especially him, that I had no involvement in stealing their concept.”

“I apologize Mr. King, for I cannot assure you of anything.” Anastasia responded confidently as even now, even she didn’t know what to make of the case.

It had suddenly become so complicated.

Was this why they offered her 500 thousand dollars? Because they knew no other lawyer in the city would deal with this bullshit case?

Clever.

“Uh, this isn’t going to end good for my company.” Logan grumbled before hanging up the phone leaving Anastasia ti stare at the wall in confusion.

What exactly was she meant to make of this case and how exactly was she meant to go around it?

It seemed complicated, no, it was complicated, but nothing too difficult for her.

She was Norway’s best lawyer, after all.

After staring at the case file, soaking in most of what she felt like were important and most remember details, Anastasia came to a decision on how to go around the case.

First, she needed to identify the employee that had sold the information. She couldn’t chase a fly wouldn’t knowing what it looked like.

Grabbing the intercom on her desk, she buzzed her assistant and in seconds, Katherine was walking through the door.

“Yes Ms. Johansson? What is it you need?”

“L.R Co employment records. Get me a copy of the current one and a copy of the ones who were fired before the time the concept was stolen.”

Katherine nodded. “Got it. Will be back shortly.” She said and rushed out of the office.

Once she was gone, Anastasia went to the website of the company opposite Lynks and contacted their security team.

If she’s lucky enough, one of the cameras present would have captured the face of the man when he met with Logan and with the records, she can pair them and find her culprit.

“Hi, this is Anastasia Johansson from Cheo-sang law firm. I’m handling a case regarding a stolen concept and your company happens to stand as a useful piece of the case, so I was wondering if I could come down and view your security camera’s footage. You see, the man who sold the concept had visited the company opposite yours, Lynks and the camera of your company might have recorded his face.” She paused as she listened to what the security team said, a smile spreading across her lips seconds later as she got the answer she wanted. “Alright, I’ll be done shortly.”

Once she hung up, Anastasia slumped back into her chair, sighing heavily.

There was a lot of work to be done, but she was certain, she would get this job done in no time, receive her check and finally be free of Lloyd’s grip.

The ideal life...

Yet the last part of the plan wasn’t sounding so ideal.

What the hell was wrong with her? Had she suddenly grown attached to Lloyd because of simple sex?

No.

That wasn’t possible because it wasn’t like her to do such a thing.

But, what if she had already gotten attached even before the sex…

Wouldn’t that explain why she felt angry and offended when she heard what those ladies had said during her date with Lloyd?
