Chapter 168- In The Lion's Den
HARDIN'S POV
The car was dead quiet as I drove us to Scar's residence, it was taking everything in me not to turn the car around and drive us back to the office. This was insane, she definitely had no idea of the type of man Scar was.
I glanced at her before quickly turning to the road hoping she would change her mind and tell me we can go back but with the adamant look on this woman's face it didn't seem like she was going to change her mind.
We stopped in front of the tall gate, heavily guarded by men all dressed in black.
One of them walked to the car as he tapped on the window and I sighed before rolling it down.
“ What do you want?" he asked in a hard voice, it was clear that this wasn't a place that received visitors regularly so being nice isn't a part of their agenda.
“ We're here to see Scar," I said. I had a feeling he wasn't always being referred to Scar here especially from the look the tough guy was giving me.
“ Is he expecting you?" He asked,
“ No but it's very important and we need to see him," I said,
“ I'm sorry but you cannot see him if he isn't expecting you, why don't you start your car and drive the fuck away from here while you still can," he warned,
“ You don't seem to understand but we need to see him," my boss chirped in.
“ And I'm going to say it again, get the hell out of here," I was hoping the threat would scare her but the next thing my boss did was to open the car door and step out and I didn't have a choice but to do the same.
“ Listen, you don't think I've got important things to do and would just come here without anything reasonable, I'm telling you that I need to see him and I must see him right now!" She said challengingly that even I was shocked.
This woman didn't know the type of men these people were. She was shouting in the face of the man who could just bring out his gun and fire at her and wouldn't feel a single regret.
“ Young woman, don't taste my patience, get into your car and both of you be gone from here,” he warned again. I knew these types of men, they didn't like giving warnings too many times.
“ Look, you have to understand that it's important that's why we're here we need to…” before I could complete what I wanted to say, I heard the click of a gun before the gun was pointed at me.
" Open your mouth one fucking time and I'm going to blow your head,” he said and he didn't look like he was joking.
" Hey! what's wrong with you?!” my boss stubbornly asked and before I knew what was happening she was standing in front of me.
" Don't you know who your boss is? Do you think I'll just willingly come here if what I have to discuss with him isn't serious? Are you people just stupid in this place or what?” she asked and I had to draw her back before that man blows her head in anger,
" Miss Miller, watch your mouth, you don't want him to shoot, do you?” I asked as she angrily removed her hand from me.
“ I'm just stating facts," she muttered under her breath.
“ What is going on here?" A new voice suddenly joined and we turned to see a man about six feet tall with black hair and green eyes dressed completely in black.
The other guy who had been asking us to leave straightened and you could tell that the new guy was higher in rank.
“ They keep insisting on seeing the Boss and I told them to leave but they're very stubborn,” he complained.
The new man turned to us as he looked at us like he was studying us.
" It's very important,” Miss Miller said,
“ Can you be quiet please?" The other guy said as my boss turned to him with a glare.
The new guy looked at us like he was contemplating something before he finally spoke.
“ Follow me." Miss Miller didn't think twice before she was following him and did I have a choice in the matter? No, I still had to follow.
We continued following the guy blindly not knowing where he was taking us, what if he was taking us to get killed? It could be that they didn't like giving too much warning and when you keep insisting they just kill you and shut you up.
We finally reached a door and stopped as he opened the door without saying a word like he expected us to go inside. Miss Miller was the first to enter. This woman had suddenly gone crazy.
As soon as we entered the room, the door closed and I heard a locking sound from outside.
I knew it, I knew something like this was going to happen.
“ What's happening? Why did he lock us in here?" She asked as she.
" I don't know. I warned you about this,” I said as I tried to open the door but it wouldn't open.
I kept trying but it was the same thing. I stopped when I suddenly felt a new presence in the room with us and I slowly turned when I heard a voice.
“ Heard you've been looking for me,"
