CHAPTER 13: NICE TO MEET YOU
1460 Words
Narl from where she sat could see the commotion going on between Kanaan and Sky, she traced back to where they stood up from she could see Michael, of course she knew who Michael was.
Kanaan was in the drug business and Narl had been her best friend, Narl's father was actually Kanaan's father's best friend, which meant it was a family relationship, but Narl's father died when she was 10 and ever since then, Kanaan was her family.
They both never hid secrets from each other no matter how hard or distant they were, it was a known fact that Michael was a known enemy of Beauty mix.
Michael ran Fantasy, fantasy was the second best cosmetic lines as well, but hidden under this facade was a normal drug operation, their cosmetic lines were just an excuse to ship and distribute drugs globally.
Narl stood walking towards Michael
" You look breathtakingly beautiful" he said with his eyes fixed on her body
" What are you doing here?"
" I came here to congratulate your boss on her wonderful anniversary party, it's nice… 9 years that's a whole lot of time, I think before fantasy ever gets to that point it would take a long time"
" I asked you, what you were doing here?"
" And I recall answering that question, just an advice you better keep your boss in check, because I'm going to make sure she comes crumbling down and she won't even know how she fell" he said looking at Narl straight in the eyes..
" Are you threatening me?"
" No I'm not but the attack of today was just a little tip of the iceberg of what I have in store for her, she has my brother captive and I'm going to make sure she swallows each and every bit of her word and then kill her. So if you love her, like I know you do, tell her to return my brother to me in one piece or else I’ll do things my way and we both know my way is actually not an accurate way to go" he said with a smile on his face
" Get out!" She spoke
" I was already leaving have a nice day Miss Oscar Narl" She watched him as he proceeded outside the hall before walking back to Kanaan. She flashed a warm smile at Miles before taking a sit beside her friend.
" Did you see Micheal" she said in a whisper
" Yes I saw him, and he was here to threaten me. that's the only thing he knows how to do, don't worry about him" Miles couldn't help but feel like he was not needed at the table.
" I'm going to take care of him, I'm going to take care of everything and make sure it all ends tonight" Kanaan reassured
" Michael didn't look like somebody that came here to actually give you empty threats, I saw anger and hate in his eye and I want you to be very careful" she said worried more than ever, he was able to get her when they left for the seaport, killing her would have been easy. Miles gently stood up without their knowledge walking towards Emily and Adrian.
" You know me, there is nothing that can harm me, I am immortal, I can't die not anytime soon so I want you to stop worrying and enjoy the party, who knows, maybe tomorrow's headline may be Michael Smith of Fantasy found dead in his apartment" she said with a dangerous smile.
" Now enjoy the party and don't be scared. I've always been fine and I'm going to be fine. Besides you made this happen don't let a d**k like Michael ruin it"
" You're right"
" Cheer?"
" Cheers?" They both click their glass together.
" Oh my gosh, I still cannot believe you escorted the president of Beauty mix, it still feels so unreal, do tell me what did you two talk about?" Adrian asked waiting for the deeds to drop.
" We.... We talked about nothing" Miles voiced
" What? You talked about nothing? What do you mean by that? Or you just don't want to tell us"
" That's not it......"
" Shhhh.. you don't owe him anything and you it's not your business what they actually talked about, understand?"
" I'm more convinced, more than ever that you're Jealous" he spoke before picking up his drink
" It's actually great to see you guys outside work" Miles said trying to change the topic
" I know and you look stunning in that outfit" Emily praised
" And you look beautiful yourself" he said looking at her from head to toe with a smile
" Thank you, unlike some people who don't know beauty even when it staring them right in the face"
" Hahaha, listen Miss Kanaan is the definition of beauty and you..." He took a dramatic pause.
" Can we drop it and enjoy the party?"
" No, you didn't even compliment me"
" You're just a child" Emily spoke
" Mr Adrian you look quite the man in that suit"
" Thank you, I look quite like a delicious snack don't you think?"
"More like a Christmas turkey in suit" Emily voiced
" Miles do you see that, She doesn't respects me at all"
" I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings? I'm not sorry"
As they continued with their argument a waiter walked up to them with a drink in his tray and he passed it on to Miles, pointing towards a lady who sat at the extreme end with her hair falling towards one side of her face.
" Who is that?" Emily asked
" I have no idea but I'm going to find out" Miles smiled before picking up to drink and walking towards the table
" Hello, thanks for the drink" he said as he settle down on the table
" It's no problem, you're actually cute and I just couldn't help it" she complimented.
" Thank you" he said blushing.
" Are you actually an escort of Miss Kanaan"
" I don't understand?"
" Well Miss Kanaan doesn't just pick random people, so what's actually your deal?"
" Well as weird as it might sound I'm actually just a random person, I had no plans of coming here. I actually came to deliver coffee in the office this morning, when I got the news that I was going to be an escort for the dinner party" he explained
" I guess she couldn't resist your charms"
" That's one way to put it, thanks for the drink by the way."
" You're welcome, can you take the pleasure of telling me more about yourself" she leaned in to grab her drink
" There's nothing much about I'm Miles Da.. Clerk, I'm Miles Clerk and I just move here not quite long, I think I'm searching for greener pastures but then ends up working at Beauty mix Cafe and That's my story"
" Sounds interesting, you sound like a very lucky person"
" I wouldn't say lucky because I've had a lot of misfortunes lately, I guess this just makes up for them a little" he said taking a sip from the glass.
" That sounds like Lucky to me"
" I guess so. I didn't get your name"
" My name is Sheila and I think we'll be seeing each other a little bit sooner than before, I can't wait to know what fate has installed for the both of us" she said staring at him in the eyes as he drank.
" Are you leaving?"
" Yes could you walk me my car?"
" Sure it's the least I could do" they both walked together outside the hall and into the parking lot.
" Thank you so much, I hate walking alone" Miles couldn't help but feel his vision becoming blur, he was feeling a little bit lightheaded.
" It's fine, I.... I.... I will.... go back inside" he stuttered, trying to make out his words.
" Are you alright?"
" Yes I.... I..... I'm fine" he turned around trying to walk back into the party but his body was refusing to work with him. He could feel his legs giving up on him.
During the party he tried his best not to drink any strong alcohol to prevent him from getting drunk.
His head was already spinning.
" I guess we'll be seeing each other very soon" her voice echoed through his head.
He tried struggling to keep his eyes opened but failed as he fell to the ground.
" This was way to easy".
