Evil Duo

Evil Duo
Julien's Pov :

I almost rolled my eyes at him when he said that.

Chameleon much to be honest.

"Good to see you to," I said to which he nodded back at me with a smile bigger than I have ever seen. Someone seems to be way too pleased to see his son cheating on his wife.

"Good afternoon Mr. Fernando," Layla wished dad which he very graciously returned before escorting us to the inside. 

I quickly scanned the room to find mother and I did. She was standing far way across the corridor, her eyes holding the disappointment as her eyes fell on the place where mine and Layla's hand was intertwined.

Same Mother Same.

"How have you been Julien ?" I heard mother call out as she stepped closer to us. I knew I had to keep on this facade of mine in front of my father and Layla if I wanted to get anything at all out of them.

"Honestly it has been great since I understood Layla was the one for me,always," I replied taking Layla's hand in mine and giving a fake smile as she blushed. I noticed from the corner of my how dad's lips curled into an appraising nod.

So far so good. Mother hummed in agreement before we settled down on the table and chairs for the lunch as the servers carried out various plates of deliciousness from the kitchen.

"So what was the urgent thing that you wanted to discuss with me for which you called me today ?" I asked taking a sip of the tulip soda that was presented to me. He put the fork and knife that he was holding, cleared his throat before starting to speak with a smile on his face.

"I have decided that I will hand over the entire Company to you on the day of my birthday as I had told you before. Now that you have a gorgeous and like-class woman and your unborn heir I don't see any reason for you to not inherit the Empire," he spoke nonchalantly sounding very pleased with what happened at the media interaction.

"That would be wonderful, right J ? You always wanted this, didn't you ! " Layla exclaimed with excitement beside me, apparently thinking how I am actually planning to leave Bella and marry her.

I put my fork down too wanting to play through this conversation very carefully.

"But didn't you just hand it all over to Jaimin ? What made your mind change so quickly ?" I asked as I looked into his eyes while he just casually shrugged.

"Come on Julien did you really think that I approve of your that middle class wife ? She was just a bad infatuation for you and I am glad you understood it," he replied while I let the free hand of mind grip on the fork that I was holding hard, till my knuckles turned white to prevent myself from lashing out. I picked the the drink up again and took a sip so as to let the cool buzzy liquid calm me down a little.

I couldn't take him talking shit about Bella like this.

"Plus the May's are great friends and partners of us. You both's marriage would come as a great profit to us, both professionally and personally," he completed before looking towards me with a hopeful smile again.

Was it wrong for me to literally punch my father ?

Ideally, Yes. So a rather no-touch knock off that would hurt much more than a physical punch.

"That's great to hear. What about Jaimin though ?" I asked while mother looked at him curiously now, while she was a great mother to me Jaimin was her own biological son so looking out for his future more isn't entirely wrong.

"Honestly ? He's a failure on the name of Fernando's. Our sales and stocks everything has been going negative since the time I handed him over the authority. He would never be able to achieve what you can so its now up to you if would want to give him a subordinate position or to completely scrap him off,"He spoke while an sudden emotion of hurt crossed mother's eye.

I nodded not wanting to talk too much about this rather try to gather more information.

"So when have you decided to divorce your wife and get married to Layla ?" Father asked as we got up from the table, getting over with the lunch.

"As soon as Cabir gets back. I am missing him and wouldn't really want to go through this great beginning without him," I replied with a smile trying to see if he actually knew anything about Cabir.

Layla quickly beamed with happiness beside me, showing how happy she was before she said something which caught my most attention.

"Oh my God that would be so good ! Cabir's quite near...we are going to get married in days !" She exclaimed.

Bingo.

A sudden look of terror crossed father's eyes as he glared at her, which raised up the confusion.

"Wait did you say he's near ? You know where Cabir is ?" I quickly asked before they could try to shift the topic.

"I uh....he's-"

"She probably just means he's in the city right ? Where would he go otherwise," father quickly butted in cutting her while Layla just nodded her head frantically raising the bar of suspicion even more but I did not want to dwell upon it much for now or they might catch my act. These were a bunch of good informations that could aid my team to search for Cabir faster. He's somewhere near that's for sure.

"So I think we should take our leaves now ?" I questioned and looked at Layla to see her nod. Father quickly grabbed me for a side hug while mother followed his gesture.

We were walking towards the exit when I quickly excused myself to use the restroom, aka just text Bella for I was already craving for her. Hearing all of these nonsensical talks about her just makes me want to cherish her more. 

I quickly typed her a message before coming out only to stop. I heard a female voice which I recognised quickly but why would she be here ?

"Hey sis ! Where's your hero ?" It was Stracy's voice ! I clearly recognised its her so I quickly ducked behind one of the pillars so as to not alert both of them.

They are sisters ?

What the Fuck.

"Shsh ! He went to the restroom where the fuck are you coming from and why from the main door ?" Layla spoke in an angry voice looking around as if to make sure that I wasn't listening.

"I just came from the ware house sis, that guy is a real dead meat for he's rejecting food and water since the last three days now. I am frustrated with him. Like he's not listening at all," Stracy spoke her voice carrying that same evil tone that Leyla's does. Was she speaking about Cabir ? The descriptions sound like it is.

Shit. Cabir was in fucking trouble.
