Chapter 169- Dangerous Deal
HARDIN'S POV
“ Just the same way you were asking for me,” my boss said and she was about to walk to Scar but I held her back and she turned to me with a glare. She really didn't know the type of man Scar was, he has been brought up with this type of life and can change personalities within a blink of an eye.
" We need it, you don't understand how important that jewelry is to me, we've been trying to meet with you but you've been keeping quiet. State your price and I'll pay, I want it back,” she said and Scar chuckled.
“ Pretty woman you don't think that I'll just give it to you like that do you? I spent a lot of money to acquire that jewelry and you think I'll just give it to you without a costly price?" I knew it was going to come to this,
“ And that's why I'm asking you to state your price and I'll pay," she said looking at him with a challenge in her eyes.
“Hmm, I see," Scar said, making a thinking gesture before turning to me.
“ She's really a stubborn woman isn't she?" Scar asked and I just shrugged, I didn't know what to say or rather I couldn't say that she was stubborn in front of her.
“ Seriously, Scar or is it Scarlett, I don't know but I seriously need that jewelry," she said,
This woman was playing with fire.
" I don't want to give, and there's nothing you can do about,” he said and for a moment the room became silent but the next thing I know, my boss is rushing to Scar like she wanted to scratch out his eyes and I quickly held her waist just in time before she could get us killed but I guess her mouth was going to be what gets us killed.
“ You stupid piece of shit! Who do you think you are? It's simple, state your price and give me what belongs to me, what's so hard for you to understand?!” She asked in anger.
" Miss Miller, what's wrong with you?! Calm down, do you know who you're talking to?! Getting angry won't solve anything, please be quiet and I'll handle this,” I said as she finally stopped struggling,
She looked at Scar like she wanted to kill him before taking deep breaths to calm herself down.
“ Listen Scar, it's not any of our fault that this is happening, we've been in search of that jewelry for over two months now and it's really a shock when I found it was with you," I said,
“ How did you even find out?" He asked with a raised brow.
“ I have my ways," I said,
" Hmm,” he simply hummed as he watched me with boredom in his eyes.
" So please, I'm begging you on behalf of the entire Miller's Cooperation, we need that jewelry back and all we need from you is to tell us what we need to give to get it back,” I said as calmly as I could.
When dealing with men like Scar you have to deal with them with wisdom.
“ You're not understanding me, I don't want anything, I wouldn't have paid for it if I wanted someone else to come take it from me, the answer still remains no, there's nothing you can offer to me that would make me give it back," this man was really testing my patience.
“ I'm going to try again…”
" Don't try again… " Scar said, cutting my words… " Whatever it is you say that involves giving you that jewelry it's not going to work,”
I turned to my boss who I knew was fighting very hard not to lunge at him.
“ Why are you doing this? Imagine if something precious to you is found in the hands of someone else won't you do everything in your power to get it back?” she asked,
" I'm not that careless,” Scar said with a smirk on his face, he was definitely pushing buttons to get our reaction but thankfully my boss held herself back.
“ Okay, it's fine, you're very careful and I'm careless, I agree. Can you please tell me what would make you give it back?" My boss asked with a gentle voice that even I was surprised because of all the aggressiveness she just displayed.
“ I'm going to say it for the last time, there's absolutely nothing you can do," he said with a proud smirk and I couldn't hold it anymore, the next thing I was doing was throwing a punch in his face.
“ Fucker!" I cursed in anger but he only looked at me with a smirk as he wiped the blood on his lips.
“ Boo! Nothing for you," he said mockingly as he started laughing.
“ You think this is funny but it's not, this isn't funny at all," my boss said as she looked at Scar with fire in her eyes. I'm sure if looks could kill he'll be dead.
“ Please just give it back," she begged,
It was frustrating that we couldn't do anything because he had the upper hand here. This was his territory.
“ Now that I think about it, I think there's something I might want," he suddenly said,
“ Really? What is it?" My boss asked with interest but I already knew that I wasn't going to like whatever he had to say. Whenever Scar makes deals, it's always the unimaginable that he asks for.
“ Do you think you can really give me this?" He asked,
“ It depends on what you're going to ask for," I said and he chuckled,
" Calm down boy, it's not your kidneys,” he said. He always lays emphasis on my kidneys whenever he wants to ask for something and I worry that one of these days he might actually ask for them.
" Just tell me what you want,” Miss Miller said impatiently. I was also tired of the situation.
I waited patiently, anticipation crawling at my chest, anxious for what he was about to say.
“ Partner, I want to be a partner in the Miller's Cooperation,"
“ What?!"
