The man soon drew back and before he left, he muttered, "Maybe I actually am a dad now. And it would be worth a hand to help in taking away those who trouble you."
The door creaked closed behind him.
Kieran held his jaw tightly as he turned back to the mirror, clasping his hands around the sink. He stared at his own reflection — he could tell just how much angry he was for his face to suck so much at hiding it, yet...
When the man was still here and he had a lot to say, a lot of warnings to give, he couldn’t speak.
The Chairman and Richard were already leaving the time Kieran would return from the restroom... But as Richard seemed to have been holding on for him, he turned the moment he appeared.
He quickly jogged closer to him and pulled out a blue card. Kieran collected it, forcing a smile onto his face.
They both shared knowing glances... Then Kieran nodded.
He then patted his arm as a way of saying see you later.
When the duo left, Amanda stepped closer to Kieran, and before she could even speak, he cut in,
"Tell the guys we’re leaving. To the Skybridge Club."
Amanda wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth mid-statement. She had expected him to end up in this mood if his father did act as though he were totally irrelevant whatsoever.
