Twin Tormentors By RARE

Chapter 43

Chapter 43 UNKNOWN POV

The street was buzzing with the afternoon traffic, cars honking their horns and chatters could be heard from every corner of the street. People were milling on the sidewalks under the blazing sun of mid-autumn. I spotted the ‘said’ restaurant a few meters from where I was parked with the engine running, then turned the key and killed the ignition. I looked around to see if anyone was looking and then slipped out of the car, keeping it secret, yet normal to avoid attracting some unnecessary attention. Although I didn’t understand why he chose this place, where Vernero’s men were literally everywhere, I was at his mercy and needed his help, so I had to run with whatever he said.

I pushed the door of the restaurant open and stepped into a very shabby interior. The seats were round leather couches which were well off finished from how worn out they were, the table with bumps of moisture. This place may have been quite a diner back in the days. But now, not so much!

There were a lot of people around and it was really stuffy in here.

‘Watch it.” A waiter called out as he dashed past me at the speed of light almost knocking me off, then walked by without much of a glance leaving me utterly disgusted that I got knocked over by such a pig with no manners.

While I was still trying to figure out why, of all places, did Xander choose this one, I spotted his head from the far end of the restaurant and made my way there. He was sitting with his back on me and I hurriedly walked by him and plopped myself right in front of him.

He raised his head for a second, then refocused his attention on his plate, and ignored my very possible existence.

I scoffed and reclined into my seat, looking so calm but inside, I was seething. I have never worked with such a maddening person.

“You had a chance to get rid of her last night. What is it that you were doing in that room?” I half-whispered, half yelled at him. He took a fork and rolled a good amount of pasta and placed it in his mouth, then chewed slowly, taking his precious time while he stared at me like he was thinking of all the possible things he could do to me. But I wasn’t afraid of him. I have dealt with the worst!

“I had a little conversation with her.” He replied and looked back at his plate. What the hell?

“What? I turned everything off so that you could get to that room without drawing attention. D o you think it was easy? If I was caught snooping in the security room, the twins would kill m e. You had a chance yesterday… and you…”

“Will you shut up for a second? I am really trying to eat here.” He barked instead, with his
