Chapter 24

Clinton!..

Fred!..Clinton stood up for a handshake.

You asked me to meet you up. Get to your point immediately please...Fred said sitting down

Yeah. I saw your advert for a building contract. You know I can handle that for you..

After what happened last?..

I'm trying to make up. That's why I arranged lunch with you. More like a peace offering..

You're talking crap. I lose a million dollar contract to the carelessness of your amateur brother and yourself and you come here thinking a lunch can do any good..he was already shouting and stumping his fist on the table..

Fred, you know it's not that way..

What do you mean it's not that way. I was expecting to see both of you come with apologiea but I saw none of you and you sit there spewing nonsense from your mouth. Damian was right about you being a loser..

On hearing that name Clinton stood up and threw him a punch. Fred the older one felt insulted and returned the blow. People had started gathering around them. Whispers were filling the whole place already.

Bella stood up , using her two hands to separate them the length of her arms.

Please sit..she said

Clinton and Fred were still quarrelling and gesturing

Both of you ,shut it and sit..she shouted authoritatively. The shocked Clinton sat on his seat surprised

Fred made to leave..

If you walk out of this place this minute, you are emphasizing that whatever number of years you spent as friends is worthless to you and that whatever measure of faith and trust you had in him that was enough for you to trash whatever Damian told you is futile. If that is the conclusion you want me to reach then leave or, Sit down first if you know you want things to work out

Fred looked back at her. Wondering what creature it was that spoke authoritatively like this.

I'll call. I just need some space now..Fred said and left the restaurant

Everybody gradually returned to their seats. When everything had returned to normalcy, Clinton angrily left the restaurant. Bella ran after him to keep up with his pace.

Back at the mansion..

The enraged Clinton barged into the house and went straight to confront lee who had just returned the night before in a drunken state.

A heated argument ensued and the house was vibrating from.the noise coming from the brothers.

It was not long when they started exchanging blows . They were both violently raging, exuding sweat from their skins.

The house became hot.

Bellawent out and called the guards to separate them. When they successful did, Clinton's lips was cut and sored while Lee's eyes were swollen and purple, he was bleeding from the nose and mouth.

He was the younger one, what was expected.

He kept pacing up and down, ranting.

Clinton under other hand went upstairs to save his face and dignity.

It wasn't nice being separated by your guards..
