Chapter Twenty Eight

The boss moved close. "But we did not" he said from only a foot away. His pale gaze locked on Alex's face.

"I became what I am today because I was determined not to fail. I don't fail... I never fail" the boss said.

Alex nodded as fear swelled inside him.

"I let you head this operation because of your reputation" the boss said, his voice low. "You remember that you owe me too. And I wanted to give you an opportunity to pay me back my doing this for me. Because of who you were and the business I thought we could do together. I trusted you"

"I appreciate that" Alex Saif quickly. "I want to do what I can to keep that trust"

"Then where is the god damn money" the boss asked in a roar.
