62- Bad, Worse, Worst

Sarah pov

Keith reached me on time and both of us left the mansion after midnight. He had brought the car, but it was sensible not to walk through the crowded area.

When we reached the town, the place was swarming and without realizing what he was doing, Keith held my hand a little protectively.

“Walk this side.” He pulled me towards the sidewalk and increased the grip around my hand, “Coffee? Or

His offer seemed absurd to me, “The girl is missing for the past two and a half days, Keith,” I pointed out, ” We can’t waste our time on a picnic.”

“We are not exactly picnicking, Sarah. Even if the girl is missing, we do need our food and drink… or are you planning to go on a hunger strike?”

He smirked and pulled me towards a small café. The man had an influential background. His father dealt with property, and he was the only heir to all the wealth.

Still, he was so fond of going to small cafes.

A few minutes back my mind was on Ashley but once I entered the café, I could not help thinking that drinking a slush had eased off my mind.

“Do you know where she works?” he asked me, playing with his straw, “How do you know about this ice cream Heaven?”

“I followed her.” The words were out before I could stop them. I looked away when I felt my cheeks burning under his gaze, “I am sorry,” I muttered, “I know it is not ethical to breach anyone’s privacy.”

He chuckled but chose not to remark. We were silent for a few minutes, busy in our thoughts. I had been going out with Justin and was habitual of waitresses falling for him.

They used to adjust their necklines… those bras when they used to look at him and that always annoyed

But since this morning’s breakfast, it was different. Keith was an ordinary–looking man with no muscles, and no gym routine.

He used to easily mingle in public. Justin used to admire him and Terry because accompanying Justin meant to start copying him.
