Chapter 73

As I sauntered into my small apartment, my eyes found Daniel almost immediately. He was sitting on a couch, busying himself with his phone and some files. 

"Hey," I called out.

"Welcome, how was work?" he asked but he barely gave me a glance and I couldn't help but approach him.

"Same old thing. What are you doing?" I asked once I sat beside him on the couch. 

"I..." His voice trailed off as he glanced at me. Whatever it was, I had a feeling it was up to no good.

"You're what?" I asked but he still hesitated for a while.

"I'm thinking of accepting Mr. Greg's offer," he replied and my eyes widened immediately.

"What?! Are you crazy?!" I yelled but he just let out a sigh in response. "Daniel, haven't I told you we're never going to meet that man again?! Yes we're in dire need of money but that doesn't mean we should start dealing in his shady business!" 

"We don't have a choice James."
