“I don’t really know what’s keeping these incompetent f00ls?” Steve asked angrily and sat on the floor.
“We are sorry for coming late,” two guys said and walked inside his room.
“Don’t fûcking tell me sorry, so what did you find?” Steve asked and one of the guys smile out.
“here sir!” He said and handover a file to Steve. “And who told you you can smile without reason?” Steve asked with a frown.
“Nobody, I’m sorry for smiling” The guy replied and Steve opened the file.
“what a blank file!” Steve yelled and throw the file at them.
“We find nothing about him, sir, we are very sorry we tried all our possible best but it’s not working,” One of the guys said.
“Shut up!! How am I gonna kidnap one of his family members when I didn’t find anything about him, that guy is proving smart!” Steve said and roughing his hair angrily.
“I don’t wanna see you guys ever again, you two are incompetent,” Steve said and throw the bottle of vodka at them, and the bottle hit Bryan who is just coming inside head and he winced in pain.
“Goodness! Bryan, you didn’t tell me you’re coming!” Steve said and rushed to his side.
“Are you planning to kill me?” Bryan asked and hold his forehead in pain.
“I’m very sorry, I need to treat your wound right now!” Steve said and placed his hand on Bryan’s forehead.
Bryan removed his hand on his forehead and walked out of the house.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were coming,” Steve said and run after him.
“Don’t tell me sorry! I overheard your discussion, if anything happens to Rowen I will hold you responsible, I don’t know why you wanna kill yourself and hurt innocent people because of a lady that doesn’t love you, I’m highly disappointed in you Steve” Bryan said.
“I’m sorry bro, just forgive this big brother of us!” Steve said.
Bryan entered his car and drove off to the hospital.
“Gosh! Rowen, can you see what you caused? It’s not over, I’m fûcking coming for you” Steve said and walked back to his room angrily.
Emma stood up from the floor and lay flatly on the bed.
Brittany’s words kept rushing on her head and she hissed out loud before covering her ear with a pillow.
“Miss Maxwell hope all is well?” Nadia asked and sit beside her on the bed.
“All is well, but do I look like I’m in love?” Emma asked and Nadia burst into laughter.
“It’s not funny, you know right?” Emma asked with a frown.
“I’m sorry for laughing, but it’s obvious you’re in love with Rowen” Nadia replied.
“Why are you all repeating the same thing?” Emma asked.
“We are saying the truth, give Rowen a chance that guy truly loves you,” Nadia said.
“Good night!” EMMA said and covered herself with the duvet.
Nadia shakes her head before walking to the bathroom.
