6. Oh no baby sister, how could you!

Stella's eyes blurred with tears, she fixed her gaze on the lifeless body of the girl whom she saw few moments ago, barging in her meeting and screaming on her new boss crazily.

She felt her heart thumping maniacly as her eyes trailed down her body over the floor, at her dripping blood.

She felt her head spinning and pegs going jelly. Her eyes watered watching the scene before her while her boss spoke, "Take everyone out and call the police!" The four guards obeyed to his words and pushed all the employees out.

When they reached to Stella, Max bit his lower lip as their eyes met. He could see a glint of an unknown emotion playing withing her eyes. And for a moment it felt like, that emotion was 'doubt' she was doubting him.

"Excuse me ma'am, please stand out with the others. Please." One of the four guards came forward and hence Stella's eyes from Max's face diverted.

She also exhaled the breath that was stuck in her lungs. Stella clutched her lips and rushed out. Max sat down on the floor while the four guards followed Stella out on Max's orders in order to look at the employees.

He gulped the lump that had formed in his throat and examined her body.

Her eyes were staring him. Even though she was dead, Max could feel the girl staring her with her dejected gaze. "I am sorry!" he chipped standing up again.

Max sucked in a breath and looked everywhere in order to find any clue of the murderer. It was a murder case regardless, he was not the one who ordered it.

"Hello, this is me, Max. I want you to do something for me"

Max removed his phone and dialled to 'My right hand' on his contact list and spoke over the call

"You know my Ex-girlfriend, Tisha Malik!"

.....

"Yeah... That blonde chick. You are right. Somebody murdered her, in my office."

.....

"She barged in my meeting and spoiled it. After that I asked my secretary to take her out. I have just dismissed the meeting and left for my cabin when the peon came running to me."

.....

"Yeah, it happened in the ladies' washroom."

.....

"No dude! Why would I kill her? Have you lost it. I could have rather sent her away from the country to keep the goodwill of my firm intact."

......

"Yeah, and I want you to...." Max suddenly stopped, his eyes staring beside the head of Tisha. "Dude, I will call you later. Oh no, I will definitely call you later."

Without waiting for the reply on the other side, Max disconnected the call and bent down beside Tisha's dead body.

He caught a sight of something which looked extremely familiar to him.

It looked like a bracelet.

"W-what?" Max gasped while he covered his palm with his handkerchief and pulled out the golden wrist wear.

It was indeed a bracelet but what made him gasp was, "No way, you can't be the killer, Maria! Oh no baby sister, how could you!" he quickly stuffed the ornament in his pocket and walked out.

Tbc...
