Love Me in the Dark

10. The Selik

KREW

I developed a sick habit of checking my phone if River texted or emailed me, but I had not sent a message myself, so why the fuck would she do that after how I treated her? A man could hope, couldn’t he? Well, at least as my employee or a housemate, she would care to ask if I arrived safely, but that did not happen. It pissed me off somehow.

When Kai called me, I knew something did not add up, or he was up to something that he had to see me personally. He didn’t tell me anything other than he wanted to meet and could not wait till next week.

His driver was already waiting for me in the airport to pick me up and send me to his office, or more likely, the driver he paid for me every time I came to visit.

“I’m here. What’s the emergency?” I didn’t beat around the bushes.

He was typing something on his laptop. The glass window of his office was the perfect view of skyscrapers. Either in a day or nighttime, they looked stellar.

“You didn’t do what I said.” He closed his laptop.

“You meant to say ordered? You maybe are my big brother, but you know my stubborn ass. Why’d you even have to try?”

His mood shifted from a businessman to a father-like. I knew he would play that card on me, but this time, I didn’t give a damn. “Should I do it myself?” Considering his gargantuan ego, ran a billion-dollar empire, and lived in a skyscraper, he didn’t even have to tell me.

My stomach was in knots. “Don’t even try, Kai. I would always do what I thought was right. Try it sometimes. It feels good, you know. To do something off the book.”
