Chapter 4
The following two days went on as a blur, the only thing I did was being locked up in the small room that was nearly suffocating at times and the window wasn't to any help .
I soon came to know that the other guy's name is Carson Giovanni Elias , but mostly people call him by Mr. Elias.
Elizabeth came to the room early and gave me a maids uniform to change into . It was a simple navy blue long sleeved dress that reached the knees , and obtained two pockets to the sides paired with black flats, they had a policy that maids were only allowed to wear their hair in a ponytail or a ban, of which I choose a ban.
I had to get away from here so I had a plan in mind not caring about his threats .
All I had to do is work for some days while I try to figure out an easy escape out or here. I had to be cooperative with their demande if I wanted to make it quick .
Carson's: POV
As Lucas and I were in my home office we heard a knock on the door "come in"Lucas said, anxiously waiting for any information regarding the stolen goods. "Sir, I'm here to info you that our men have managed to retrieve the package, but they have been reporting on a difference, they say that Alexander , isn't interested in the package any more, which causes suspicions "Alex said standing in the center of the room with his head slightly bowed .
Lucas looked at me with a questioning look . "Did they figure out the cause of this odd behavior of his?"I questioned him "they are still on it, but nothing has come up yet ,sir"this was odd Dion is a greedy man,how can he just leave five billion worth of goods laying around unattended, unless there's something serious.
"Can it be maybe that flash drive ?"Lucas questioned anxiously.
I turned and looked at Alex"find out what it is as soon as possible , he might be up to something , and did you get any news about the flash drive from Miles?"I asked him
" He did mention that he thinks the flash drive is missing, but he hasn't found any solid evidence yet "I gave him a slight mod of understanding and dismissed him .
I leaned my back onto the sofa and exhaled heavily.
"so, you really don't plan on letting her go, do you? "Lucas asked leaning forward while placing the documents he was holding on the coffee table Infront of as " I can't for now , she knows something she isn't telling us and if we let her go Alexander will stop at nothing to get information about us from her "I said calmly taking a sip of my coffee" but she doesn't seem like a person to give out information easily "he stated casual , and I just kept silent.
"I saw the information you received about her, you know she's gone through a lot "he added.
"I know, that's why I want to make it easy for her "I answered truthfully .
From the information I received she did go through a lot and I kinda felt bad for her .
Lucas looked at me with wide eyes and a shocked expression.
"What?"I asked confused by his reaction .
"Did you just express sympathy for someone!?"he asked still staring at me dumbfoundedly. This guy .
I know I don't really show emotions to people or feel sympathy for them most of the time , but thinking about it I really did sound strange , since when do I feel sorry for others.
"Don't look at me like that, it's not like I don't have a heart?"I said staring at him coldly,to which he regained his composure , but still lost in his thoughts.
"Something's definitely wrong with him "he mumbled more to himself but I still managed to catch his words . "You know I heard that right "I said glaring at him.
He chocked, avoiding me gaze as he tried to change the subject.
"So what happened to you and Kelsey,?"he asked and just the mention of that name made me sigh in exhaustion.
Kelsey ,was the woman my dad wanted me to marry , since he promised her father. She wasn't bad but I just didn't want to promise her something I couldn't fulfill,as I didn't like her .
"Nothing happened"I answered returning my attention back to some documents ,as I didn't want to get into a topic involving her but Lucas being Lucas didn't get the hint or even if he did he just simply ignored it .
"What do you mean nothing happened, isn't she moving in next week?"he asked with a lace of mischief In his tone .
"She is but that's besides the point, their will never be anything between us , her father is traveling and he as if I could look after her for the meanwhile "I said my thoughts disturbed.
"Ohh, her father won't stop at anything , would he"Lucas asked his voice showing understanding.
"His dad's old friend and I can't just refuse him because my dad's not here anymore ,it wouldn't make him happy, despite being dead"I said in rubbing my face with my palms in frustration .
Their was a soft knock on the door before someone opened it slowly, both Lucas and me snapped our gaze towards the door.
"I'm here to inform you that dinner is ready and madam wants to speak to you , so she ordered for you two to have dinner together."her soft voice sounded in the room.
She had her hair tied up in a neat ban wearing the maids uniform which somehow managed to look good on her ,her face blank with out even a spark of emotion." Tell her I'll be there"with that she left, closing the door behind her .
At first I thought she would refuse and make a big deal out of it , but she seems to cooperate really well with the matter.
As soon as she left I turned to look at Lucas, to find him staring at the door speechlessly . "Don't fall for her just yet , she isn't an easy one "I joked snapping him back to reality, I shook my head at him as he acted as if nothing happened. He amuses me sometimes .
"I wonder what mom wants now "I mumbled."maybe it's about Kelsey, you know she doesn't like her and when women don't like other women ,tsk, tsk tsk tsk "he snapped his gaze to me "it can get really ugly "he added a glitter of amusement in his eyes as his lips curled up into a cold smirk.
I had a feeling he was enjoying my misery, luck him for also being my friend or else I would have killed him right then and there.
