Just me.

Knock!

Knock!

"Come in. " Karina said still sitting opposite to me.

"I wonder who it is again. " Mike added.

A man whose figure was like that of a lady entered. His eyes were almond and his nose was pointed. His lips were big and his hair color was grey. He was not handsome neither was he ugly. He was just normal. He turned to me.

"You are Mira right?"

"Yes. How may I help you?" I asked looking concerned.

"You may not know me but I'm L'art Chairman's secretary. That's not necessary, so..." I did not let him complete his sentence.

"Wait, chairman's secretary?" I asked. "I mean what is the Chairman's secretary doing here?"

"I should have come here sooner. The Chairman summons you. Do well by visiting. " The man who claimed to be the chairman's secretary said.

"May I know the reason?" I asked but instead of getting a reply, all I got was a smirk. Then, I will get going.

"Wait. " I could not stop him as he refused to stop.

"Mira, this is strange. Don't you think he summoned you to bully you? Right now, he thinks you killed his grandson. What if he tries to do something silly?" Karina asked.

"I wanted to ask the same question." Mike added.

"No. That is not what will happen. He will probably appreciate me. " I said.

"What? What are you saying?" Mike asked.

"His aim was to eliminate Hart. Even if he acts remorseful towards others, I am sure he is happy within. He wanted Hart gone anyway. So, I will visit him to see what kind of words would come of an old jerk's mouth. " I said and smirked.

"This is not really good. No matter how hard I think of it, the whole story is complicated. I don't understand anything any longer. Hart liked you, and told you about his family and his plan to get his revenge — to show his grandfather how well he could handle things for his mother. So, you both went to Afghanistan to catch Fazio, the real CEO of Miami because Miami is your company's rival. From there, you met Italian Mafia Boss, he killed Hart. Now you are here. Wow! What a damn confusing story. I don't understand. Why would you agree to catch Fazio in the first place? You guys are something. " Karina said. She was confused. Sure, my life was a confusion. At that rate, I thought Karina did not believe me anymore.

Instead of replying her, I gave her a soft gaze.

The fact that Dave had to go to Hart's grandfather surprised me and it would had surprised anyone in my shoes. The person I least expected was Augustus. I did not understand why the had to meet him. It was not clear to me the whole story even though I had the plot. Even though I knew they were lying, I kept wondering how L'art Chairman got the information. Dave said Fazio's records. How would they have known Fazio's records if they are not connected to him? I believed that something was fishy. It was definitely fishy. They believed I killed him. And that is what amazed me. I understood the fact that they were mourning, but how could they have thought I would have killed Hart. As loyal as I am. In actual fact, I was very depressed due to that. But, to think of it, who would believe me? I went to Afghanistan then Italian mafia Boss killed Hart, no one would probably believe me. Hart was the sole witness, but he was dead. What would I have done? I wished I would go back in time to amend some things. It clearly did not make sense. Then, Hart's grandfather wanted to see me? I was speechless. I wished Hart was alive.

MEETING THE CHAIRMAN.

I was escorted to his house by Karina.

"Fighting girl. Don't get so worked up but if he says something upsetting, reply him with something more upsetting. If something happens, call me. " She said.

...

"This should be our third time meeting each other, right?" He asked lifting his old eyebrows.

"Yes sir. It is my pleasure to meet you. " I replied with a smile.

"I heard you killed my grandson. I did not know you have such motive. Sure, he probably pisses everyone off. " He said with a frown. But I noticed something, he did not look sad, he dressed like he was in a good mood which pissed me off.

"That is a false accusation that need to be cleared sir. " I replied in opposition.

"You know I am not filing the lawsuit against you because I want to, I an filing it because of what people would say. I don't care if Hart died or not. After all, he takes after his mother, disappearing out of a blue. I don't seem to understand why you two had to go to Afghanistan to meet the owner of Miami. Because of what? I know Hart is dumb but I expected more from you secretary Mesa. And again, how did the Italian Mafia Boss who is currently and previously in Spain, get to Afghanistan to kill Hart. Even without a lawsuit, something is definitely fishy. " He said. I wanted to slap him but I could not. Afterall, he was Hart's grandfather.

"How sure are you that Paolo was in Spain?" I asked.

"Paolo? Hey, the Italian Mafia Boss name is not Paolo, it is Moderico. Wow! You got the whole situation twisted. " He said as he laughed. I was shocked but I did not let that sway me.

"How do you know his name? Are you connected to him in any way?" I asked.

"I have connections. I know someone who knows him and dine with him. So, I asked. " He replied. I did not get what exactly was happening. But I did not believe him. It may all be a lie. A lie to gain something.

Tik tak!
