Chapter 50 050
UNCLE GREG

The tension alone was higher than what I ever felt I could overcome.

I'm here sitting with someone whom I can bear as a son yet I am still so nervous.

What a twist of life!

My eyes burrowed into his as he kept looking at his documents before the unfortunate guard walked in, alerting him of someone's presence.

But surprisingly, I was the one whom was sought for.

“What do you mean he wants to see me?” 

“Who do I know and why does he want to see me?” I said, already frustrated that Steven had been distracted.

“Let the fellow in. It's alright, Uncle. I'm sure he must be someone you know,” Steven said.

“Oh shut the fuck up and stop acting like we are cool,” the voice in my head screamed at him.

“Yeah of course, no problem,” I muttered out in pretense.

Then suddenly the fellow walked in majestically, appearing in a long brown jacket and a face cap.

“Who are you?” I blurted out.

He removed his cap and it was Jonas, alive and undisturbed in the flesh. This was never who I thought I would see this very hour.

To my best knowledge, the guys would have probably executed him like I ordered them to but why is he still here???!

My mind swirled in its own thoughts and I just kept staring at him without saying a word.

“Hello, Mr. Steven Gold…do you remember me?” He said, not even minding my presence.

“No, I don't, young man and I know you aren’t here for me but my uncle so how can he help you?”

“Do you know him, Uncle Greg?”

I was confused as to what to say so I kept quiet and just stared at him long enough for him to say something.

“I doubt if he would be able to answer that, Mr. Gold. I know Mr. Greg but I doubt if he really knows me..” Jonas spoke up.

“Hmm….so why are you here then?”

There was an awkward silence. My heart skipped a beat that very second.

He better not spill!

“You see…I once worked for your father, as an old staff in the Gold Company and I was hoping if my position could be reinstalled in the company and if not, at least consider me an offer, Sir,” Jonas spoke out.

My eyes widened in surprise. What is this guy trying to do? Is he trying go behind me and form alliance with Steven or what the fuck is this to start with??!!

“You worked with my father? How come I don't know you and I'm sure you know a lot has happened since my father died so do you still think you can work at the company?” Steven asked.

“Oh come on. Steven, can you just get rid of this stranger? We are onto some serious business here. This man just look like someone begging to be employed. You are bigger than all of that,” I interrupted, acting like I didn't know who Jonas was.

“Oh, Mr. Greg. I won't waste too much time here. I know you still don't really know me but I worked for your friend, Mr. Salem..” he started.

My body shook. Why the fuck would he mention Salem??! Fear gripped me and everything became so cold. 

“And so? What if you worked for my friend, I still don't know why you want to see me…” I interrupted ina loud tone.

I turned to Steven that instant, “See, why don't you just focused on signing that so I can just take my leave….whoever this young man, he is clearly out of his mind because first, he is here talking about getting a job now he is switching sides….” I blurted. 

I saw the play that was going on and I just knew Jonas was there to implicate me so it would only be smart enough to leave there that minute.

“Uncle Greg, you seem tensed than normal. I don't think young man mean any trouble.”

“Uhmmmm…your name please?” Steven turned to Jonas…

Without wasting any more time, I got up immediately and to leave without saying a word or even answering anybody.



Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!!

“What sort of shit is this?” I grunted out loud.

“I am going to kill that boy with my own hands!!”

That same minute, I received a call from the masked guys. “Oh, now he could call, very well then,” I uttered as I picked the call.

“Why the fuck are you even calling me? To tell me I have been played or what?!” I shouted, not holding back as soon as the call connected.

“Hey,.calm down. What the heck are you talking about? We haven't even seen Jonas since then. The operation hasn't been carried out..”

Uhn?

“What do you mean? Are you aging you haven't even made any attempt to get rid of him? Why the delay cause I just fucking saw that boy and it wasn't a good scene!” I answered.

“That's exactly why I called you cause right now I and my boys are looking like the fool…..like we are the ones being played here!!!” He retaliated over the call.

“Hold on…please let me get you right…pity my aging body…what the heck happened actually??”

“Remember Jonas was the one who told us about you before we set up the meeting, right?” 

“Yes, true…so???”

“After you and I had that other call, I got a call from Jonas that we should cancel the whole thing..I mean, he told us to shut down the plan….” He explained.

“Wait, what? Jonas told you to do what? Why am I just hearing this?”

“Well, that's because he told us you know about it and that you wanted to make the operation happen at a later time…I knew something was fishy so I just had to wait it out before calling you,” he explained further.

“Dang it!!!”

“I didn't make that decision. Jonas is up to something!”

“He knows. He fucking knows!!” 

I ended the call immediately and that same minute, I heard a loud knock on my front door.
