Chapter 100- His End Of The Bargain
HARDIN'S POV
I thought Scar said they were going to rescue him tonight, so why haven't I received any calls? I thought they must have found him and taken him to the hospital and by now my boss must have been informed.
Or maybe they were waiting till morning. But what if Scar tricked me and they didn't know where Mr Miller was? No, I doubt, Scar wouldn't do something like that, but what if he changed his mind?
I was getting worried out of my mind, I don't know if involving Scar was the right thing to do. Mr Miller was one of the richest men in the city. What if he decided to rescue him and then keep him to get money from us?
Gosh, what is wrong with me? There were so many thoughts going through my head right now.
I think I should go to sleep and I'll know the truth about everything tomorrow because if I continue like this I'll just drive myself crazy.
With a sigh I climbed on my bed as I drew the blanket on my body to make myself comfortable.
Some minutes later I still couldn't sleep. Should I call Scar? He didn't call me to tell me anything or maybe I should call Miss Miller?
Fuck it. What would I call her to say? ‘ Hey have you seen Mr Miller?’ I'd be labeled as a suspect immediately.
I opened my eyes and climbed out of bed as I walked to my balcony, maybe some fresh air would be able to calm down my mind.
I was still deep in my thoughts when my phone started ringing and I quickly answered without checking the caller.
“ I've kept my end of the bargain, I'll be waiting for you when you set the meeting," Scar said through the phone and I nodded but then I realized he couldn't see me,
“ Yes, I'll keep my own end of the bargain, thank you," I said,
“ Don't thank me just yet, you know how I can be if anyone tries to play me,” he said. Was he trying to threaten me now?
“ I know you Scar and I'm not trying to play you," I said,
“ Good," that was all he said before he ended the call.
At least I now know that Mr Miller was doing okay and can get some sleep.
I returned back to bed as I dropped my phone on my bedside table and climbed on bed to get sleep.
Every other information I need I'll get it tomorrow.
This time I didn't have any thoughts disturbing my sleep.
I woke up as early as 5:54 am as I walked into my bathroom to get ready for work.
I did my business before I took my toothbrush and applied toothpaste, then I started brushing my teeth.
When I was done I got into the shower and quickly had my shower.
In no time I was dressed and ready for work as I walked out of my room.
“ Good morning Hardin," Vera greeted from the kitchen where she was sitting having her morning coffee.
“ Good morning Vera,” I said as she handed me a cup of coffee and I took it.
“ Thank you," I said, as I sat down.
“ Why do you look like you didn't get any sleep last night?" She asked as she looked at me with a raised brow.
“ I'm involved with Scar again," I suddenly said and she started coughing like she was choking on her coffee,
“ You're what?!" She asked as she looked at me like I've become crazy.
" I needed his help," I said,
“ With what Hardin? Why would you need help from that type of man? You know he doesn't do anything for free, so what did he ask you to do? Hold on a minute, what did you even ask his help for?” She asked as she folded her hands glaring at me like a mother about to scold her child.
“ He helped me find Mr Miller," I said,
“ Mr Miller has been found?" She asked and I nodded,
“ So, it still doesn't mean it was a good thing getting involved with him, Scar is a dangerous man have you forgotten that?" She asked,
“ No I haven't, it didn't seem like I have a choice, the police were going nowhere with their search so I did what I had to do," I defended,
" What did he ask for in return for his help?” She asked,
" A meeting with Miss Miller,"
“ Hardin!"
“ What Vera? I already regret my decision okay, nothing prepared me for this, I never knew he was going to ask for something like this," I said,
“ What were you expecting, that Scar would ask you for a house or car? The man basically has everything so you should have been prepared that whatever he's going to ask from you would be something you'd find hard to give or do, what were you thinking?" She asked with a sigh.
" I just wanted to help Vera, there were so many things happening and they were weighing that innocent woman down,” I said,
“ You're doing it again, Hardin, you always think about people forgetting about yourself, have you thought of what people would think if they find out about your involvement with Scar? They're not going to believe you were trying to help, people might think you were behind his kidnapping and then you released him because you got scared, I'm warning you, don't ask that man for anything again," she said and I nodded.
What she said was the truth, I was only trying to help but I have to make sure nobody finds out that I contacted Scar to help me find Mr Miller.
“ You don't have to worry, I won't have anything to do with him again," I said as I pulled her into a hug,
“ Better, because I don't want you to go to prison for trying to be a good person," she said and I couldn't help but chuckle.
“ You always laugh, you think it's funny," she said as she hit my chest and pulled away from me with a scowl on her face.
“ Just be careful," she said,
“ Yeah, I'm off to work," I said as I gulped my coffee before running out of the house.
Just as I entered my car, my phone started ringing and it was a call from my boss. She finally decided to call me.
“ Good morning, Miss Miller," I greeted.
" Good morning Hardin, please can you meet me at the hospital,” she said,
" Why? Is there a problem?” I asked, pretending not to know.
" My grandpa was found last night,” she said,
" Really? Mr Miller has been found?” I asked in fake surprise.
" Yeah, please come to the hospital,”
" Alright, I'll be there,” I said as I ended the call before I started my car, driving off.
At least he kept his end of the bargain, it was my turn now.
