Chapter 21: THE NEGOTIATION (2)

As Chris put his phone away after the call from his sister, he froze in place without a single tinge of emotion in his face. He was neither angry nor was he aggrieved by the matter.

It took him a moment to finally show emotions, as his eyes fiercely glanced at his assistance who had been greatly bewildered by the young man's rash decision of stopping abruptly.

He simply excused himself in order to give the young master a little privacy.

Chase took his phone out once more as he dialled a number.

as the phone rang, Chris looked at the screen silently until a voice came from the other side of the call 'HELLO' Chris smiled as he listened to the voice and only said five words back.

"She's in trouble again" with those words said, Chris closed the call and sighed lightly afterwards.

His little sister had been a precious treasure for him since the day he first set his eyes on her and promised to protect her forever, it was a pity that she was a magnet for trouble.

James's apartment

"What do you mean you can't find her?" James screamed out as he held his phone to his ear listening to one of his informants who were supposed to get info about Alicia's whereabouts.

Their whole jobs were only to inform him of the young lady, yet they could not even find her.

It was completely preposterous that they would say that.

"The car that she had gotten into was completely lost after she took a turn at Maple Street. We have been trying to reach her since then to no avail Mr Peterson sir." Spoke the informant as he tried his best to keep calm even when he and his team had failed to pull through with the simple job they had been given by the boss.

James sighed inwardly as he tried to think about what reason there could be for Alicia to stop by at Maple Street.

A dark light flash across his eyes as he suddenly remembered that Liam Walker owned a mansion which was situated in Maple Street. It was a privately owned resident which only allowed the Walker family in only. But what was Alicia doing in the Walker family private resident?

James's eyes widened as he finally realised something.

He clutched his palms as he screamed, "Liam Walker, you DOG!!"
