Chapter 52; Did you really come to meet me or my employee

" Don't worry. He's already in heaven." Joel said.

" What did you do to my man ?" Alex asked in panic not believing this.

" Hahaha…You don't have worry.." Joel said

" Have you tracked his call ?" He whispered toone of his men.

" Yes sir. He is at the company." The guard answered.

Joel smirked.

"

Alex was still confused of what do.

Alex was still on the call with confusion when David said.

" We haven't killed your man. If you think anything like calling the police or telling anyone about our plan Your man will be killed on spot." Joel declared.

" What is it that you want ?" Alex asked angrily with disbelief.

" Just keep silent and go back to your wife." Joel said.

" Are you now threatening me ?" Alex asked.

" I'm not. If you want to save him, Come and pick him yourself ! " Joel said.

Alex chuckled and ended the call in anger.

Mari still laid there with the bullet on his chest. He had passed out but was still breathing slowly.

" Kill him once you are sure that Alex is here." Joel ordered.

" Yes sir.." His guards responded immediately.

' I can't do anything right now except following their order.'

Alex thought and hurried out of his office.

He went to his car and got inside to drive to the meeting point.

Joel who was still tracking the phone noticed that Alex was now driving to the place and he smiled.

" There's no more use of that man. Kill him !" Joel ordered.

" Yes sir.." The guard responded and gave Mark a last bullet that ended his life.

" Get the track ready, Finish him as well. Let it look like an accident !" Joel commanded.

" Yes Sir.." The other guard responded and made a call to some driver who was seated in a track.

As it had been planned, Alex was still driving in panic because he knew he was supposed to save Mark in time. Little did he know that this had been just a trick to get him to the road.

He was still driving carefully and anxiously amd now he had reached on an isolated road where there were no settlements for one to witness the accident.

He drove hoping to get to the place as the directions had been given when a track suddenly came from the other corner of the road and knocked him.

His understanding stopped from there and then and he didn't know what happened next.

" The job has been done !" The track driver made a call to Joel immediately after the accident.

Joel smirked after hearing the news.

" Good job. Destroy that phone, We shall discuss the rest later." Joel said.

" Okay sir.." The man agreed and did so.

He was still like that when a small pick up came with two people inside.

When the driver saw them he ran away immediately leaving the track there.

Alex had fallen unconscious inside the car.

" There was an accident, Come on ! Let's go to see." The first man said in panic.

" Don't rush in. Let's call the police first !" The second who was driving the pick up said stopping it.

" Okay.." They agreed and called the police and ambulance at once.

The track driver rushed back to Joel and informed him that Alex might survive.

" I will fly away from the country for a while. Give me more information incase anything happens." Alex said to the guards.

" You also go into hiding. They won't find out who driver was unless they do further investigation." Joel said to the track driver and gave him his pay.

After that he boarded a plane and left the country.

Back to present

As Alex lied on the he remembered these conversations with Joel and now he remembered him so well. He was scared and panicked at ago because he knew that Joel must be behind the accident.

" He needs more rest for now." The Doctor said after checking and left.

Canary held Lucy's hand and said. " Mom, Don't worry. He will be fine." He said to comfort her.

***

When Lisa returned to her place that evening she lied down in the bed immediately.

She remembered the argument she had with Canary and gave a drop sigh.

…It seems what ever is bothering you is a serious case, If that's then I will not bother you again…

His words echoed in her head and she was more confused about what she was supposed to do next.

***

Following day, Canary was in his office trying to concentrate on work but he was thinking about his father.

Each time he remembered how Alex trembled on seeing Joel and this made Canary suspicious.

He was there like that when Micheal entered the office.

" Sir, Mr Denis is here to meet you." Micheal reported.

" Let him come in.." Canary said.

" He said he would like to meet you from the Cafeteria." Informed Micheal.

" Alright, I will go to him." Canary closed the laptop and got up.

——

Lisa was walking from the boutique to find her way up stairs when she met Denis once again.

He was dressed in a narvy blue t shirt and grey fitting pants that suited him so well.

" Mr Denis.." She smiled on seeing him and walked over to him.

" It's you again ?" He asked.

" Yes. What brings you here ?" Lisa asked.

Denis shook his head at her question. She had guts to ask him such a question. Didn't she know that he was one of the most important business partners of Andersons.

" I came to finish some business." Denis briefed her.

" Ooh , I see.." Lisa nodded.

At this point as they were conversing Canary was coming from the other side.

" By the way, Are you the one who really designed the costumes?" Denis asked.

" Huh… I did with the help of the my team." She answered.

Denis was glad to hear this and he moved closer to Lisa and touched her head.

" You are a good girl." Denis said while stoked her hair with his hands as though she was a little kid.

Lisa responded with a big smile while looked up at Denis.

When Canary saw them like this he couldn't believe it.

' Huh, She's busy and playing with another man after sending me away.'

He spoke in his head with some hint of jealousy and gave a smirk which after he walked over to them.

Neither Denis nor Lisa had seen Canary yet.

" Did you really come to meet me or to meet my employee ?" Canary asked.

They were still smiling at each other when they heard the voice and Lisa moved her head from Denis' hands immediately.

Her smile faded as she turned to face him.
