Chapter Thirteen

Monday

Time: 9:AM

James's POV

"I'll kill her myself today but don't kill Lisa, he might be of help to us." I answered and cut the call.

Lisa's POV

I walked into the office with my bag and James was almost excited to see me, "Hi" He muttered nervously and I returned the smile.

"Where's Alex?" I asked and he frowned.

"I don't know, he asked me to come to work today and take over his company till he gets well." James answered and I became suspicious.

"Really, let's call him to ask of his health." I suggested to see where he was playing at, I couldn't trust anyone not even Alex.

"Don't call him," He quickly replied. He became ashamed immediately, "I mean, don't call him, he's probably resting, so today, I'll be in charge of you also." He added.

"Me?" I asked surprisingly.

He nodded.

"I'm not an object or a thing." I reminded and he smiled.

"Well, you're my girlfriend." He said and I chuckled.

"I don't remember telling you that I'll like to be your girlfriend." I reminded and smiled at him, I wanted to play cool.

"Well, I just did," He said and knelt in front of his workers. "Lisa, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.

I felt my heart skip a beat, I couldn't just reject him. if I needed more information, I'll need to be close to him and I'll also have to make him believe that I love him.

"What should I say?" I asked and chuckled. "I'll give you a reply, let's just go to your office."

"You mean Alex's office?" He asked.

Was he planning on taking everything that belonged to Alex, was he right about James?

"I watched the news on Saturday, your ex girlfriend is dead." I said and he coughed.

"You watch news?" He asked surprised.

"Of course, I want to know what's happening around me." I answered.

"I didn't see anything, it's unbelievable someone could just die like that, what's in this life?" He asked.

"Yeah, she was actually murdered."

"Murdered?" He asked shocked. "Who killed her, oh my God."

We walked into Mr Alex's office, it wasn't locked. "Why isn't his office locked?" I asked.

"He gave me the key." He simply answered. "So we should probably do something, we're the only ones for now." He suggested and I frowned.

"Why do I feel that you want to rape me?" I asked and he frowned.

"I'll never do such thing, I wanted us to play a game since there's no work to do."

"I'm not playing any games with you."

"I was really jealous when Alex kissed you, it was actually great, I loved the connection." He said and he laughed.

"He kissed me for only five seconds." I replied.

"Don't tell you me you counted it?" He asked.

I chuckled. "I'm not the type of girl who closes her eyes while kissing, I could every damn second."

He laughed and let out a grin. I was already falling for his jokes, he couldn't be harmless, it's Alex plan, he's jealous of I and James, he's the psycho who wanted my mother dead, he fought with me, he asked kassam to lock me up in a warehouse, I was sure he was the one.

"What do you think of Alex?" I asked James.

"He's really this cool and handsome dude." He answered and I smiled.

"You're really cute too, it's a pity that we don't really get along."

"Okay, go wait for me in the restroom, I want to show you something." He said and I frowned.

"Restroom?" I asked surprised. "I'll wait inside the female's restroom, number 16." I added.

Of course, James was a sweetheart, at least he stood by me.

James's POV

I watched as Lisa left my office, this was definitely the opportunity to kill her, I would certainly make no mistake about this.

I smiled and walked over to the mirror. "Is Lisa someone to die for?" I asked.

My pen fell from the floor and I chuckled, "Maybe that's a sign that I can't die for Lisa and Alex won't." I muttered and adjusted my collar.

Alex's POV

I managed to climb the bed after eating breakfast, Oliver prepared something for me to eat, I understood his pain but I didn't understand why he chose money over me. I could have doubled his amount and paid him, maybe he had a reason?

Maybe he wanted to protect me by working with James?

He walked into the room and looked at me. "Hey bro, James is planning on killing Lisa right now, she's in the organisation's restroom."

"You're joking right? He loves Lisa and he'll never kill her."

"I understand we don't like each other but you should call Lisa right now and inform her that she's in danger. He won't spare her." He replied and my heart raced.

"Thanks bro, I'm happy you told me."

He walked towards me and kissed me on the forehead. He smiled at me before walking out of the door.

Lisa's POV

I waited in the female's restroom for over a minute and I began to fell my legs hurting. What could he possibly give me?.

My phone and the caller ID showed Alex, I hesitated in picking before I finally picked.

"Leave the restroom immediately." He ordered before I could even say anything over the phone.

"How do you know I'm in the restroom, this is funny and cute at the same time, did you and James plan this?" I asked.

"I'm your boss and I'm ordering you to leave the restroom immediately, James wants to kill you."

"It doesn't make any sense, I'm not going anywhere." I said.

"Oliver told me." He replied.

My heart started beating fast as I heard footsteps walking towards the door. I cut the line immediately and bolted the door.

The unknown person stopped in front of the door and my heart skipped a beat.

Before I could do anything, the person started forcing the door open and I pushed the door back with force scared. Could it be James? Was Alex right?
