The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter Chapter 32 - Car break down
“Shit,” Cephas cussed beneath his breath. “Get out of the car, now,” he yelled. He was scared of the car blowing up if they still remained there. Pangs of memories rushed into his head.The incident reminded him of so many things.The doors of the car swung up and the three of them got out of the car.“Where did you rent this damn car’” Cephas yelled at Jose. The smoke was now worse, the car was overheating. For a minute, he thought they were going to die, just like what happened when he was thirteen.“It was Johnson Scraps and rental.” He muttered. That was the only rental place he had seen while he was looking for rental places in Arizona.“How much did you pay?” Anta asked.She was boiling with anger in her. If a block of ice was poured on her, it would melt right away.“$100, it was expensive because it was late at night.” Jose stammered.“I can’t believe you rented a car from a junkyard.” Cephas said and he loosened his tie. He kicked the tires of the car then started walking, lea

33“Hello Peter and Mia, what brings you oldies to my home at this time of the day? Red asked, yawning lightly, scrunching her eyes for clearer vision. It was quite dark so she only recognised the old couple standing by the door, she had no clue nor did she know who the other three were.“We lost track of time today at the trailer shop, it is not easy to keep up with time when your customers are youngsters from the University of Arizona. The night is like their own day.” Mia giggled.“I am glad your business is doing well, you should ask the writers amongst them to visit this place some time.” Red chirped in.“Anyway, we have brought some kids to you, they are foreigners and they need to get to Victoria’s hotel. They need a lift there but Peter is too tired to drive there.” Mia said.Sweat trickled down Cephas’ head as tension built up in him, he wondered what their reaction would be when they realized it was him. He summoned courage in him and decided to be brave,“They seem to be

34“This is the last time you’d see me this way,” Cephas promised and he bowed before leaving the Marcus’s house.It was more like a vow but it sounded like a threat. The Marcus were speechless and could not say anything because he talked to them like an authoritative person.He sounded like a different person, the aura and the tone. It was new to them. He turned on his heels and walked away from them then his assistants followed suit.“I have called Ms Sarah' team to provide transportation for us,” Anta informed them as she walked closer to Cephas.She was feeling more comfortable now, Jose had helped her out of her heels and worn his sneakers on her feet.Then he himself was barefoot.“How long will it take them to locate us?” Cephas looked at his worst watch to check the time. It was three am already.He felt guilty that his assistants were in that state because of him, Anta’s legs must have been hurting her so bad that Jose gave her his shoes to wear now he was barefoot.Offering

Though he was truly the last person that they were expecting at their door, he had not forgiven him for pushing his wife into the pool of hot water.Red knew her husband softened easily but he didn’t dare go against her words, because he loves her so much. That is what she got for marrying such an emotional man So she planned on calling him to his senses. Cephas was only a stranger to them, a nobody to be precise. He didn’t deserve any form of pity from her.“No, we weren’t, he deserved every single thing we said to him last night, that is what he gets for deceiving our daughter into marrying him and making her life miserable.” Red replied to her husband as she drew a brow above her eyes.“We could have let him stay the night, The temperature was at - 10 degree celsius.They could have froze

36Red tried calling her bank manager but he didn’t pick up. Her husband came up to her office after settling with the authors. It was a hassle but he had the experience because he used to work in a customer service department.He managed to calm them down and asked them to wait for an official memo from the company. “Honey, what are we going to do to the people yelling outside? They are getting wilder.”He might be able to handle calls properly but he didn’t think he could manage the situation, if a mob of people swooped in at once, it would be really crazy.“Call the police on them,” Red closed her eyes as she sank back into her seat.The police? He didn’t support that idea but he could not argue with his wife. He wished he addressed the crowd normally, since the investors were going to put in some money, they could pay the debts.“What happened here? Your table and all.” Mr Marcus asks then he ne down to start clearing the table.“The bank called and asked that we pay up the loan

You will ruin your hair that way, stop scratching it.'' Hannah said she sensed that something was wrong but she ignored the feeling..“I am sorry for bringing that up.” Violet said sincerely.

I have an important business to attend to.” Cephas shocked Mr Teal's hands. “Sure, see you then.” Cephas unbuttoned his suit jacket as he walked away from the restaurant acting like nothing happened with a team of bodyguards protecting him in case Red tried to attack him again. “What is the reason why he wants me home?” he asked as he wiped the liquid on him with a scarf Anta had offered him. “He didn’t state the reason sir, Jose can you check the intel we have on your end?” “Sure, ah” Jose opened his tab and texted someone he knew from the chairman’s team to get the reason why the Chairman wanted to see his boss. “We cannot return to the suite sir, we have to head back to the airport sir. The plane will be leaving in twenty minutes.” Anta informed him. “This old man is not going to give me breathing space, is he
