"This is going to sound very strange but why did you meet both of them today of all days? Doesn't it seem a bit weird to you?" Jake asked. "It does actually. Especially with Brittany acting very strange. But I can't tell what exactly is going on." Levi said and forced on the road. He kept his mind focused and decided to not think about Brittany and what she was doing because the more he thought about it, the more upset and worried he became and he couldn't go to work with such feelings "I'm just saying. You should really get Mark to go look for her or something. Maybe he can find something that we have been struggling with because I know for a fact that something is definitely going on and it's not a good thing. ""I will think about it." Levi said and swered into his school parking lot to drop off Jake. "Will you be coming today?" He asked. "Yeah, when lectures start. You are just going to read." "Well, it's our last exams. I need to study hard and pass. Not everyone is like you

"What is it?" Levi said and adjusted on his seat. "Well it's nothing serious but you know our partners from China?" "Yes what happened to them?" "Well they want to pull out of the contract!" Mark said. "What? Why! Why would they want to do that?" He asked"Umm, I can't say for sure but I think it has something to do with the fact that we haven't hosted them yet." "What do you mean by hosted them yet?" "Well, they heard about the party that you threw some few months back to celebrate the company win and also get to know your partners and after that, they became jealous that such events have not been done for them as well." "Wait, so they want to pull out of a thirty million dollars deal simply because we did not throw a party for them?" Levi asked. "Yes. They are making a pretty big deal out of it and if I should add, they are very serious about it. They called me to express their hurt and pain at us not throwing a party to host them." "But what essence is one stupid party? W

"What was that all about?" Jake asked when Levi came to sit."Well those girls wanted to act like very loyal friends of Brittany and ask me where she is and why she hasn't resumed yet." "Really? Because from where I am standing. It looks like they were trying to actually kill you." "I know. That was the ironic part of it. They pretend like they care about her well-being but not one of them dared to call when we were away and now, simply because we have resumed and Brittany is yet to, then we have done something terrible to her and they are more than ready to call the police on us and have us locked up." "That's madness." "I know. And I did not expect anything different from the likes of those. It's to be expected when one rolls with a bunch of hooligans." "But still, we do need to find her. Has she reached out to you since she left?" "Nope but then again, Brittany always has her way of doing things. I am sure she is fine somewhere and soon she will get back to her senses and com

Jake saw the look of distress on Levi's face and wondered what was going on. For many people, it would have been difficult to spot it but Jake had known Levi all his life and he knew when the man was feeling upset."What is it?" He asked, hoping to get an answer immediately but instead, Levi turned to him and gave him a look of satisfaction. "What is what?" He asked. "Don't play that game with me Levi," Jake said and followed him. "look, I can tell that something is wrong with you because you are looking weird and upset. What is it? What sort of text message did you get?" "Okay, you really need to calm down now. I didn't get any kind of text message and absolutely nothing is wrong with me." He lied and got into his car. But he knew that Jake would not let it go so easily. "What do you mean by that? Man, I literally saw your face go from calm to angry in few seconds. Something is wrong and I want to know what it is." "Okay, fine. Noisy person. It's just that Steven sent me the inv

Levi walked into his house, trying to not focus on the anger he was feeling. He could not believe that Brittany could be so secretive and manipulative. He had given Mark the keys to park the car while he decided to get a bottle of cold water to calm his nerves. Turning on the lights in the room, he shook as he saw Jake turning around and looking at him dead in the eye. "Dude, what the hell? Do you know how scary that is?" He asked. "An surprisingly, you didn't gasp." Jake said calmly. "Maybe because I am somehow used to your devious ways. Now, can you tell me why you are sitting in the dark and waiting for me?' "Oh I am so happy that you know I am waiting for you " "Of course I do. Because if you were not, you would be in your room. That is if you wanted to use the darkness to be thinking.""Look at that, my best pal knows me very well." Jake said and hurt flashed in his eyes. "Okay, what exactly is going on?" "What is going on is that I cannot actually believe that you would
