Thirty nine

Episode 39

“Why do I feel like there's more to this story?“ Ben asked circling him

“What! I wasn't lying!“

“I never said you were lying! Guilty conscience!“

“Speak before I force you to”

“I I I should have done something, I should have known better that they weren't bluffing!“ he stammered as he started sobbing.

“Who?“ Ben questioned.

“Those who poisoned him, They threatened to do the company harm, when one of their supposed biggest customers ditched them to come to ours!“

“So you knew they were gonna kill him but you kept quiet!“

“I swear I didn't think they were going to do it, I owe him my life! Why would I want him dead?“

“Who knows? To take over the company!“

“No no, I don't want him dead. I thought it was just a mere threat, we got tons of it but nothing happened. I thought it would be the same as theirs, but I was wrong! I was wrong, when I noticed his health keeps derogatory it was already too late”
