20-I'll kill you myself

Noah's Pov:

I felt my heart pounding as I tried to comprehend what he said. Was he for real? Was there really someone that knows the crazy dancer?

Different cars started honking at me and I quickly moved away from the road.

☎Noah?", my manager called as a result of my silence.

☎Tell me about it, Seth. Where's she? I mean, who did she say the veiled lady is?" I asked impatiently.

☎I'm sorry Noah, but she wouldn't say a word. She's requesting to meet you in person and be sure the reward you stated is real" .

☎Fine! Where's she? Where can I meet her?"

☎You can come to the office. I already asked her to come over and she's prolly on her way here already.

☎Okay. I'll be there. Thanks"

And I dropped the call.

Oh, please! Just tell me this is it.

That lady - I've never seen anyone like her - anyone with such extraordinary talent.

For the first time in my life, I found someone who satisfied my dancing urge. She was beyond perfect.

I ignited my car and took off immediately.

Rex's Pov:

I slammed the door hard as I walked into the room but it opened right immediately with mum storming in.

"Rex! What is wrong with you??" She half yelled and I turned in a flash to face her.

"There's nothing wrong with me, mum. You should go ahead and ask your beloved son!" I replied with so much anger.

"What the hell are you saying, Rex! Noah isn't the only son I have. So, why are you making it look like..."

"Well, what else do you want me to think huh? You give him all the love, time, attention, the company..."

"Rex!" She called in what seemed like a scream and I paused.

"Have you been possessed or what? How could you possibly think I'm being partial towards my love for you and your brother? What have I ever done that makes you think I love him more than you? What exactly???

"And talking about the company - you already own a part of it, Rex! What more do you want?"

"So, I'm not fit enough to control the company, huh? I guess I'm much of a coward to do that"

"Noah is the eldest and you know that! No matter what, there can't be two presidents in a country - there'll always be a head. So, why the hell are you trying to make things difficult, Rex?"

"Really? I'm the one making things difficult? You know what? Its fine! I don't even wanna have this conversation anymore cause I'm fed up".

And with that, I stormed out of the room, feeling so angry.

Charlene's Pov:

I paced tho and fro in the room, awaiting Marcus to come in. I couldn't believe he abducted me and had me locked up.

Shortly, the door opened and I turned to see him coming in.

Perfect!

"Marcus..."

"Shut up, Charlene and sit" he said coldly and I scoffed.

Really?

"I'm not sitting, Marcus. Let me out of here! Now!". I demanded angrily and he pushed me to sit on the bed.

"Don't make me lose my patience with you, Charlene" he stated angrily and stretched out the bag he held.

"Here - you Can change this. The boys will bring dinner to you later".

"I'm not eating" I said as I took the bag from him and threw it on the floor.

The next thing that followed was a thunderous slap.

"Have you lost it?" He held my chin roughly.

"How dare you talk back at me? Huh? How dare you??

"What has gotten into you? You were f**king part of this crew and now, you wanna expose her?"

"I didn't sign up for this, Marcus. I know I was a part of the crew, but from the onset, I warned you about this mission. I told you not to do it because I couldn't stand by and watch a lady suffer in her own parents' wealth. Those people killed her parents for f**k sake! Then, manipulated the will to their own favor and you really expect me to keep quiet? You know my story, Marcus. So, it shouldn't be a surprise to you if I can't be in support of this".

Immediately, another slapped followed and I grinned.

"Well, listen to me, Charlene; you have no connection with that lady whatsoever and you're not gonna do a thing about her family, is that understood??

"If you try anything stupid, trust me - I'll kill you myself". He said angrily and left the room.

Noah's Pov:

I drove into the building and parked in the garage and without hesitation, rushed into the office to meet Seth. I just couldn't wait to set my eyes on him.

Shortly, I got into the office and met him talking with a lady and their eyes turned on me instantly.

"Noah..." He called and moved away from the lady who was already on her feet.

"Is she the one?" I asked, wanting to go straight to the point.

"Oh! Yes".

And I went closer to her.

"Good evening sir" she greeted with a little bow, obviously blushing.

"Good evening. What's your name?" I replied and asked.

"Bonnie, sir".

"Okay, Bonnie. So, what do you know about the veiled lady?" I asked and noticed she looked hesitant.

Then, I recalled what Seth had told me

"As long as your information is helpful, I'll make sure you're never poor in life" I told her and her eyes beamed.

"Um...thank you so much, sir. The thing is, I was among the make up artistes that had primped her up for the party. And I saw her face.

"Although, I don't actually know her in person, but I'm sure the owner of the bar knows her very well and he can definitely provide you with her identity".

"What bar are you talking about?" I asked curiously.

"It's...Pablo's Classic bar" she replied and my brows arched.

Huh?

Pablo's Classic Bar?

I know him; I've been there.

That's the same bar I met Maxine dancing for the first time.
