The Love From Vengeance

65: NETFLIX AND CHILL??

LUKE’S POV

“You?” I blurted. The call was still on, and now that I’ve come to think of it, this was the same voice as the guy who sent me that video of Harriet.

“Yes, aren’t you happy to hear my voice?” He asked.

“No, I’m just surprised,” I responded, getting up from my seat. “You must have a perfect reason for calling me, right?”

“Of course,” he replied.

“Then tell me, why have you called me?” I queried.

“Take it easy, man; don’t think I’m going to give you all the information just like that.”

“I don’t get it. If you’re not going to tell me whatever information you have, then why do you bother calling me?”

“There’s no need to get all angry, Mr. Reynold.”

“I’m not upset. I just don’t have time on my side right now because I’ve got a lot of things that need to be done. So if you’re going to start wasting…”

“Easy, Mr. Reynold, take it easy,” he cut me off. “This information I have is important, and it will help save your life. But you’ll have to pay for it.”

“Pay for it?” I stated.

“Yes. So, whenever you’re less busy, let me know. That’s if you love your life. Goodbye.”

He hung up just when I wanted to tell him to hold on. I wondered what he was talking about.

ARIEL’S POV

I was stili sitting in my office, waiting for the directors of The Oranos to show up. It’s almost been ten minutes since Rose informed me that they’re here. So, why were they taking so long?

This was just a waste of time. Because right now, I should be going through all these files rather than biding for these people. I think I’m getting lazy as the days go by. Perhaps all this Luke stuff distracted me.

The door opened, and this man stepped in. He was dashing, looking wonderful in a red suit, and putting on a pair of sneakers. He also had earrings on and a ring pierced in his nose. He has some tattoos on his neck and a dulcet beard.

“Good afternoon, Miss,” he greeted me while I continued to stare at him. His beauty was great, but I had to snap back to reality.

“Oh, sorry,” I said, making a silly laugh. “Good afternoon, sir; you must be…”
