Chapter 87 You are overreacting
Kylian's POV
"What? Aren't you meant to stick to him like a leach?" I cut in suddenly provoked. I squint my eyes at Frank who heaves softly.
He didn't like the fact that I cut him short when he was trying to explain.
I was scared to believe the truth perhaps that's why I decided to cut in and speak. However, that was reality, he's dead_oh! I mean he's missing.
"You have to stay calm, we need your help in getting through to him, that's why we got you involved" rose expresses as I raked my head, worried.
Wow, that was huge, how can I help these qualified people? Behold I was important.
"Oh my, what is he's dead?"
I shouldn't be, I know I always wish ravyen to be away but who would I fight with? Who would I gossip with? Who would challenge me to do the impossible.
Nevertheless, fate decided to take him away. Who was I to stop his fate? Too sad, Arianna would have to live on with the truth and eventually accept it.
She doesn't have to get worked up because I'd always be here for her.
"You're overreacting!" Frank muses as he took the table water from my grip and drank a mouth full.
I wasn't, it's just my way of saying I care. My way of saying, you did good by dying now let me take care of your properties.
I don't mind writing a memo about him as long as it's a win-win. I wasn't even curious again to why they needed my help.
I leaned my face forward with a cynical gesture. I knew they puzzled by my reaction in the end and why I look so beam up.
The excited in me couldn't be fathom for and so i let it out to their face.
"Let's say he dies, who would his property go to? I hope he puts it in Arianna's name" I butressed and Frank scoffed at me almost hitting my head with the bottle water.
"How dare you?" He retorts and I chuckled wickedly. This was the time I need that smoothie.
However, having a taste almost sent me to my grave. Whosoever prepared was bad at it. Perhaps, my guardian angel prevented me from taking it just to keep me alive.
"Well, that's my part of being worried" I beckoned brawling at him and rose grimanced at me.
They were disappointed by my act and I wasn't offended. I was willing to get a lawyer to fight for his property if they decided to hurdle it to themselves.
"He's not dead, we just have to find him" rose assured with a bit of anger in her tone. Too bad, I was the provoking type.
At least, I sounded it in their ears that I wanted his properties.
"Oh now we have to find him? Who knows if you guys actually abducted him to get some wealth..."
Frank stood up, intending to hit my face but rose stopped him and I grinned with crossed legs and relaxing my back on the chair.
This was fun though and I mocked him.
"Is this who you want to involve in the mission? He feels no remorse!" He barks at me like I cared.
Now I could see it was rose that wanted me in this team. But why? It wasn't as though I'd have any connections or something to keep them going.
"We still need him" rose defended. Looks like though she had fallen for me. That was quite impressive.
Perhaps, she wants me close and I must say, I almost fell for that.
Obviously, she wasn't letting Frank say any slanderous words against me. He was angry that I acted like an hypocrite, pretending to be jinxed when I was excited about the news.
Well, all I have to say is if ravyen wants to make heaven, he could write a letter in his grave to me with funds to pray for him.
I'd miss him though because he's my business partner and whenever I wanted to give him irrelevant news, I get paid for it.
"Can you get any serious joker?" Frank snarled and I chuckled. Oh now I am joker? But I'm being serious.
I just need to confirm if I would have a share in his property after his death.
"Kylian, please, let's not get started..." Rose began but I cut her short.
"Yeah but he's at fault, he should have sticked to his boss as promised"
"Something came up and I had to leave him there" Frank answers immediately as he took his seat.
I mimicked his words and said;
"Then you're the first suspect" I posed like a detective with a straight face. Frank gasped as he folded his arms and then settled his eyes on my face.
"You spoke about his properties! You're the suspect, perhaps you murdered him to take his wealth"
"Then he'd die happily because I will send his soul to heaven" I proudly declared with a wide smile that got him pissed off.
"So where was he last?" Rose began diverting from our initial discussion and we both threw our eyes at rose.
"At Tuscany, having a deal with one Rodger of some sort" he answered but then growl at me as I slurp the banana smoothie arrogantly, distracting them.
Gosh, I almost died because of it. I purposely dropped it on the ground to gain their attention but they wouldn't look at me.
"So, then what? You left him after the deal or..."
Then I stood up and paced to fridge to get something else. I caused noise. I returned and slammed a fruit juice on the table.
They took a glimpse at me while Frank resumes his narration.
"He was in the middle of the deal when he informed me to attend to his business meetings in his place" Frank responded and then I belched loudly annoyed.
Once again, they rolled their face to me and I shrugged my shoulders with a frown. If they want to involve me, I should be joining them in the discussion but from the looks of it, they were scraping me out.
