Chapter 1159: This is the madam?
Axel stood in front of a luxury hotel in the heart of the city. This wasn’t the first time he came in here. After all, this was where he lived for a few years. But instead of a sense of familiarity, all he felt was hostility.
Was it a coincidence that the madam chose this place to meet him? Or was this already a statement? Either way, Axel didn’t plan to back down. With one deep breath, he marched inside and went straight to the elevator.
As he stood alone in the elevator, eyes on the number lighting up above it, it suddenly stopped. Snapping his eyes outside, he caught two men in black suits getting in. The men took their spots behind him, making Axel ball his hands into a tight fist. Aside from that, Axel kept himself composed as he glanced at the button one of the men pressed when they got in.
’They’re going to get off one floor before me,’ he told himself, setting his eyes on the shut doors of the elevator. ’One floor, huh?’
It would be a lie for Axel to say he wasn’t nervous. Every floor he passed made his heart race, and the uncertainty of what awaited him grew stronger. However, that wouldn’t stop him from meeting this person, who was giving his brother and sister-in-law a hard time.
When Axel saw that there were three more floors before his company left, he spoke.
"Whatever you are planning, you shouldn’t do it," he said without casting the men a look. "You won’t wanna know what will happen if you do."
The men looked at each other quietly before setting their eyes on Axel’s back. Axel didn’t bother saying anything anymore until they reached a certain floor and the elevator slowly slid open. He arched a brow as both men quietly walked out of the elevator, not even giving him another look.
Axel held his breath until the door shut closed once more, almost feeling his knees wobble.
