Chapter 38- The Mysterious Note
“ What note are you talking about?" I asked as I got up from the bed like it suddenly burned.
“ It was just a warning, I don't know who sent it but I was in the office when someone brought flowers to me, that someone left them for me and then I found the weird note," She said.
“ What did the note say?" I asked.
“ At the right time, you all will be where you belong," she said and for a minute it was just silent as none of us said a word, I'm sure she was letting her words sink in.
“ They didn't tell you who brought it?" I asked.
“ It was a delivery guy and I didn't meet him, before I could go outside he was already gone," She explained.
This was strange and to think that the note wasn't addressing just her, it said ‘all’ this is crazy.
Who could be doing this?
“ It's okay, can you do me a favor?” I asked. I had a feeling she nodded knowing I couldn't see her and that made me chuckle.
" I nodded so what?” And she was about to shrug. I knew my best friend that well.
“ What do you want me to do?" She asked.
“ Go stay at Ronny's till I get back, that way I would feel at peace knowing you're safe, okay," I said.
I knew I wouldn't be myself if she wasn't with someone I trusted. Ronny was a brother and I knew he was going to take care of her for me.
“ Alright, I'll go tomorrow from work,” she said.
" Alright take care. I have things to do before I go to bed, I'm really tired,” I said.
" Alright Hardin, take care, good night, I love you,” She said.
" I love you too, my girl,” I said before sounding a kiss and then the call ended.
I couldn't help but sigh as my mind tried to trace the event of last night and then the mysterious note sent to my best friend.
Who could be doing this? This didn't look like some silly joke anymore nor did it look like something arrogant Ariana could pull off.
Could it be that our past was back to look for us?
I didn't want to wake up looking like a zombie tomorrow morning when I had to meet important people, so what I should be doing right now is sleeping and not trying to think too much because that would only end up with me having a headache.
I called the studio manager to make sure that everything concerning the models we chose was taken care of.
After that, I grudgingly walked to the bathroom to have a hot shower. I needed my tense muscles to relax.
After taking a shower, I dried my body before wrapping a towel around my waist and walking out of the bathroom. I felt relieved, physically, yeah, but my mind was still a mess.
I opened my bag and took out boxers and a T-shirt as I wore them and without wasting time I walked to my bed to get a much needed rest.
***
God, can that alarm be any less loud, it was fucking annoying my ears. I groaned as I squeezed my eyes tightly before lazily opening them as I got up with a stretch.
How I love my life.
I removed the blanket from my body and got up from bed as I walked to the bathroom.
I walked to the toilet to pee and then after that I washed my hands and walked to my bag to take out necessary things I'll be needing.
I wasn't the type of man who uses just any product for his skin. Yes, I take care of my skin very well because it's very important to me.
I took out my toothbrush, my body wash and shampoo and other things I didn't care to name, then I walked back to the bathroom.
I brushed my teeth and took a shower.
I decided to go with a navy blue suit and a sky blue dress shirt to go with it, as for the tie, I skipped it today. I'll never forget the good scent, my perfumes.
After spraying my perfumes and being satisfied with my look I walked out of my room to go to arrogant Ariana's room.
The woman couldn't do without me, note the sarcasm. I was still waiting for her to shed her sheep clothing to reveal the wolf she truly was.
I knew it wouldn't be long, she has held off for quite a long time, I'm surprised.
When I reached her room door I rang the doorbell but after waiting for some time I didn't get any response. It wasn't anything new or perhaps she hasn't even woken up.
We didn't have much except a meeting this morning with the event host.
I rang the doorbell again but still I didn't get any response from her. I better leave now that I have my head before she comes out here and chop it off.
I was about to walk away when something told me to call her.
Deciding that I have nothing to lose I brought out my phone to call her, I was only doing my job and her mom asked me to take care of her.
The phone rang several times but she didn't pick up.
Well, I tried my best, I'll have to go on her behalf. Maybe she was too tired because of the trip.
Mr. Miller would have been up and kicking, that was the difference between working with a man and woman.
I was about to walk away from her door when I saw a room service attendant pushing a cart with all varieties of food and it seemed like she was bringing it to arrogant Ariana's room.
I decided to wait, maybe she'll open the door, well, hopefully.
The lady greeted me and I returned a kind smile as she rang the doorbell but there wasn't any response this time either.
Okay, should I be worried or maybe she wasn't inside?
“ She called for room service some minutes ago and there was a little delay with getting the food ready,” The attendant explained.
It wasn't strange that arrogant Ariana would decide to ignore me when I knock, but she was expecting something, isn't that enough reason for her to come check the door.
“ I'll be right back," I said as I quickly rushed to the elevator, I needed to make sure she was doing okay and this wasn't one of her shenanigans.
I talked to the receptionist explaining the situation and it didn't take them time to give me a key card that could open her door.
I swear if I find that woman in bed just purposely ignoring the doorbell and I was here going through all this stress I'll give her a piece of my mind.
With the key card in hand I walked to the elevator as I patiently waited to reach our floor.
When I got to her door, I told the room service attendant she could go as I wheeled the cart into her room and closed the door.
“ Miss Miller," No answer.
“ Miss Miller," I tried again, still no answer. Not until I saw what looked like a hand and then….
“ Fuck! Miss Miller!"
