Chapter 42

~

Josh went to the club where he is supposed to meet with Linda, the girl he find out is involved with Amanda's fiance.

He wore a grey shirt with trouser and rolled the hand up, he was getting frustrated while he works in the office a while ago expecting a call from the agent he hired to look into whoever Amanda's guy is and dig some dirt on him

After running some thoughts, he realized that the money Amanda got from him was probably because of the so call fiance of hers and for him to take the money without finding out the source then he is not a good guy

Amanda refused to come to the office and took a leave with the excuse of preparing for her wedding, josh didn't approve her request but she went ahead anyways expecting him to sack her but he didn't say anything or contact her

He paid some money to an agent and told them to get all the information he needed with just Amanda's name but it wasn't that hard because it turns out the guy is the only person around her

Josh sat down and sits comfortably spreading his legs as he undo the first button of his shirt revealing a small part of his chest, one of the girls sitting closer to him smiled seductively at him and wave her hand to him in a ladylike manner trying to make him notice her

Josh is a very handsome young man in his twenties and because of his blue eyes and great features a lot of girl flock around him and wants to have a taste of his juicy body and he never hesitates to give it to them but tonight he is not in the mood and turned his face away instead of responding to her the same way he usually do

The girl he came to meet is busy with some guy and keep rubbing his body, Josh was not the patient kind and to even think that the guy is cheating on Amanda with someone like her makes him more angry. She looks skinny with too much makeup and a flat chest

The girl seems to be free finally and she walks back to her table then sees Josh sitting very close to her seat, she blush and adjust her clothes properly before approaching him

Josh looked up when he noticed someone coming to him and pick up the drink in front of him and drink it in a way that makes a girl dream about being the glass.

Linda sat down very close to him and took another glass placed on the table with a smile plastered on her face and pours out of Josh's drink without asking, josh smirked knowingly but didn't say anything

"Do you mind?" Linda asked just as she raised the glass below her mouth ready to drink

Josh nod his head to give her the go-ahead and watch her drink the whole content then pour another one for herself

"Am Linda and free, what about you?" She said openly flirting with him.

He ignore her but she just smiled and lean in closer to him revealing her cleavage and laughed like he did something funny

"Are you new here?" She asked him and place her hand on his

"Let me help you then" she added and tried to kiss him but Josh pull away from her like a disease and clean his hand

"Do you know Mike?" He suddenly asked and Linda pull back then stand up looking at him suspiciously, she looked around to see if there is anyone else with him but nothing seems suspicious so she relaxed a bit

"What Mike? I don't know anyone like that" she responded trying to hide her nervousness

"Your react is quite bad for someone that knows nothing" Josh stated and stare at her deeply, Linda feels even more nervous under his stare and wonder what he knows.

She tried to move but it seems like Josh's eyes are stopping her legs from moving and she gently sat down again but this time she kept a distance away from him

"What do you want? Is he owing you money too?" She questioned fearfully looking around like a detective

"Tell him everything you know about him" josh commanded and Linda have him a strange look that says 'What's your deal?'

"If he doesn't owe you anything then why are you here?" She questioned instead regaining her composure

Josh isn't ready to debate or have some small talk with her so he just throw some cash her way and Linda was quick to grab it. She smelled the money and smiled broadly then hide the money in her dress

"What exactly do you want to know?"

"Everything about his love life" he said not sure if he should refer to it that way

"He is getting married with a dumb girl for a start and he is also getting some excitement from me" she responded and chuckled, an action Josh finds annoying

"I can't believe there can be anyone that dumb, I mean he wasn't hiding the fact that he was seeing other girls but she is blind to it and is getting married to him" she said and laughed again but Josh wasn't finding her stupid words funny and he snapped at her to stop laughing

"Tell me about him and the 'dumb' girl" he said and added before she replies

"Don't laugh"

"It seems he saved her a long time ago when she had no one and they start to date, something like she wants to repay his favor and end up falling in love instead but it's just a one-sided feelings" she stopped and thought of something before she continued

"Mike is a jerk but she sees him as a gentleman, he pretended to be in debt and took a huge amount of money from her, we planned to leave but he went ahead to invest it in a stupid deal and lost all the money even got some debt on himself so we broke off our alignment" she finished and looked at Josh for a reaction to everything she just said but he kept staring at a particular corner and she looked to have a view of what it is but nothing is there.

She took the opportunity to look him over and assess him, he doesn't look like those cheap guys she date and the watch he is wearing cost a fortune.

For someone like this to come ask her about Mike, her only guess is that he has probably played with the wrong girl this time, her boyfriend find out and he wants to get back at him the same way or even worse.

If she was still in a relationship with Mike then she would have protected him but he left her after losing the money with an unwanted pregnancy and she has to abort the baby on her own

She couldn't believe it when she find out he is back with Amanda and is planning to get married to her, Linda sees this as an opportunity to screw him over and ruin his so called happy life

"You should leave" Josh suddenly said and that bought Linda out of her thoughts. She is sad to see that he is not interested in her and reluctantly leaves.

Josh called a waiter to serve him some vodka, he is so angry at Mike for playing with someone like Amanda and more angry because he used his money for nothing but waste.

He was feeling down that she reject him for someone better but he is just a scumbag who doesn't love her and she doesn't even know but is planning on getting married to him

The waiter comes back with his order but he put some money on the table and left without his drink.

Josh got into his car and called someone to ask for Amanda's home address then he start the car and drove towards her street

He want to tell her everything about that bastard of a fiance and make her break up with him whether she likes it or not but then Amanda's pleading face appeared in front of him and he hit the brake forcefully causing the car to stop abruptly which made him hit his head on the steering

"Fuck it!" Josh cursed as he got out of the car and rest his back on it trying to stop the blood from his nose.

He rested for a minute then opened the car and took a cigarette from it, lit it and start to smoke silently without making a sound.

He finished smoking about four before he stops and took his phone to get someone to drive him home.

An hired driver soon arrive and he hop in the back seat and gave him the directions to his house instead.

Since Amanda has decided to marry him and he is no longer seeing the other person then he shouldn't make her unhappy for his own selfish gain.

He is not a one woman guy and he will soon find another girl to replace her so it's better to move on now if he is not going to give her the kind of life she wants.
