Chapter 137- A Meeting With Danger
HARDIN'S POV
“ What?" she asked like she didn't get what I just said so I repeated myself,
“ I need a favor from you," I said,
“ Okay, what is it you want from me?" she asked and if not for the situation I would have said I wanted to taste that sweet nectar I knew was wetting her panties by now but I controlled myself,
“ You remember my friend we met the other day at the coffee shop?" I asked,
“ Yes, the one you refused to tell me who he is," she said,
“ I'd tell you who he is," I said and she just rolled her eyes waiting for me to continue,
“ Well, he'd like to meet with you, he has something to tell you," I said,
Although the last thing I wanted was for her to be in the same room with Scar it didn't seem like I had a choice right now. They had to meet or Scar was going to mark me as a traitor and that wouldn't do well for me.
“ When does he want to meet?" she asked,
“ Well, at your own convenience," I said,
“ Good, I'm not busy now, pick a location and tell him to be there in thirty minutes," she said.
I'd like to tell her that Scar isn't a man you tell what to do but I chose to keep quiet. If you tell him to be there in thirty minutes time he'll only be there if it's very important otherwise you'd have to wait. It could be an hour or two.
“ I'll call him,” I said and she nodded before I walked out of her office,
I quickly dialed his number and I'm sure he left it ringing, he was clearly close to his phone but was ignoring it.
He finally picked the call and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
“ She wants to meet in thirty minutes," I said,
“ That's more like it, meet me at…”
" She'll be the one to choose the location of your meeting,” I said, cutting his words and I knew that he didn't like that, which was the more reason I did it. He has been bossing me too much.
“ Fine, I don't care where she picks, she should be there, I don't like people wasting my time,” he said,
" She'll be there, I just wonder what you…” the call ended. Typical something he'll do.
I returned back to her office.
“ I've called him, I'll quickly look for somewhere you can meet so we can go," I said,
“ We?" she suddenly asked me as I was about to walk out,
“ Yeah, we're going to meet him," I said,
“ Hardin, the last time I checked, you said your friend wants to meet me not us," she said as she folded her hands and rested it on the table,
“ Yeah, but I'd have to go with you," I said but she shook her head, okay what type of game was she playing? I didn't want her alone with Scar.
“ So you're saying I won't go with you?" I asked just to make sure,
" Yes, that's what I said, Hardin, I'm going alone, except your friend is a very dangerous man you're scared he's going to kill me, is that it Hardin?” she asked,
As much as I don't trust Scar, I know he's not stupid enough to do something as stupid hurting her, not to talk of killing her.
“ He won't hurt you," I said,
“ Then good, tell him to meet me Renee Deluca, I like the restaurant, pick a room," she said as she stood up.
I didn't even like the idea of that restaurant especially when she was going alone.
That restaurant was a very private restaurant, they're going to have a room with just two of them in there without the interference of anyone, as much as I didn't want people seeing her with someone like Scar, I knew if they went to a public place, someone might recognize them and that wouldn't be good for my boss, I just didn't like the idea of her alone with him.
“ Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?" I asked, hoping she'd change her mind but she still shook her head,
Damnit!
This is my fault, if I had prepared a meeting earlier I would have gone with her and she wouldn't have had to be suspicious of my relationship with Scar.
“ Okay, please be careful, he's still a man and you're a beautiful woman, if he says or does anything you're not comfortable, just leave or better still call me," I said and she just watched me,
“ I can take care of myself, you're suddenly making me feel like I'm going to meet a mafia man or something," if only she knew what she just said was the truth,
I walked with her to the door as I opened the door and she walked out then I walked out after her closing the door behind me.
I pressed the elevator button and it opened as she walked in, I stood there as I watched the elevator door slowly close, wishing I could just stop it and join her, it finally closed and I stood there thinking about what I've just done.
I just arranged a meeting with my boss and one of Las Vegas' dangerous men and I wouldn't be there with them.
What am I going to be doing here? I'll definitely have a heart attack waiting for her to come back, should I just follow her?
Even if I were to follow her it's not like I'll be able to enter the room they would be in and hear what they were talking about.
Instead of returning back to my office like I should, I started pacing around contemplating if I should just open the damn elevator and follow her.
At least I know I'd feel some sort of peace knowing I was there even if it was just outside the building.
This was driving me crazy, I know she won't be happy with me if she finds me lurking around. But what if I hide well and she doesn't see me?
I was still lost in my thoughts and pacing when my phone vibrated with a message and I quickly brought out my phone from my pocket hoping it was my boss telling me she changed her mind and wanted me to meet her there but it wasn't, rather it was a curt message from Scar.
‘Done.’
