“Hum…. This smells yummy, this is so sweet of you Leo, you even had all these prepared for me despite you didn’t know I was coming.”

It was going to be disastrous if it blew out of proportion.“Amelia, listen, I came here for Leonard and since he didn’t welcome me, I would just take my leave- quietly.”“Good idea.” Leonard shouted behind them.Amelia let out a deep sigh and turned away from Jennifer.

    Edward got up on his feet. It was clear now, what he meant to the Master. He took two steps toward the doorway out and winked to the huge bodyguard who narrowed his brow in return.“Tell the old man I will see him later.”He walked out of the building without caring about what he was thinking. The younger bodyguards at the front door bowed slightly in respect to him. He still didn’t acknowledge them.When he got to the car, his minions opened the door and he entered.“Drive on.” He ordered.“Mr Crane, what about tailing Charlotte Duke?” One of them asked.“Forget it, let’s get out of here.”The driver turned on the ignition and they drove off. Edward removed his earbud and put on an EarPod. He started playing a sorrowful piano sound, silence ensued in the car as his minions kept exchanging nervous gazes.They knew that his initially enthusiastic mood had dwindled so they all kept quiet.“What are the Harris cunts up to?” He said to the man sitting by his side.“Oh….uhmm…I mean…Drake j

    The rain drizzled down on his black hat. He walked into the empty street and made straight for his destination. Unlike most people, he wasn’t bothered by the searing coldness that comes with the rain.All that matters was getting the message to Charlotte Duke, his boss.He turned by his right as he walked into the hallway leading to the building underground. The moment he walked in, the stench of smoke filled his nostrils. He coughed lightly as he covered his nose with a handkerchief.Not that he visits the slums that often.

Since the day she had bandaged his knees, as she had promised, she didn’t stop keeping him company.“I kept some leftover lunch, are you interested?” She asked, beaming with excitement.Her initially puffy cheeks when she joined the orphanage had reduced.
