The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 67

Deal 

The door to Elijah’s room opened, and Ryan stopped a distance away from the doorway, after shutting it, staring at Elijah, wearing a white shirt, dark brown pants, and monk strap dress shoes. 

“Bryan’s driver is here to pick you up.” Ryan’s voice came out hoarse. “Thanks. I am almost done here.” Elijah let out, turning back around towards his desk and picking up his watch.

“Not even her mother could get her to open the door a moment ago,” Ryan whispered, sighing softly. “Maybe we should give her time and space to cool off?’ “Yeah. I think so too…” Elijah muttered, nodding slightly as he stepped back and turned away from the door. When they got into the lobby, Matt was already ready to leave with Elijah, but as they approached the door, Elijah turned looked at Ryan, and said, “Let’s go,” “Me?” Ryan asked surprised because Elijah didn’t make any mention of him coming along until now.

The beach house in front of them was three floors high, painted in a soft light blue, and the car rode slowly through the gate leading to the property.

“Mr. Checks, it’s good to see you in good health,” Elijah uttered, accepting his hand and giving it a firm shake. “Thank you, Mr. Darius,” Bryan replied, still smiling despite the serious tone. “I could say the same about you, chief.” “Then he looked over at Matt, and then at Ryan before looking back at Elijah,
