Chapter 60 - SIXTY
- KILLIAN -
"Liam, I sent you a file with some codes. It’s a lead on the whereabouts of the murderer. Do your research." I say, standing in front of the table in my office while redoing my tie. I shouldn’t have this conversation here, school is not a safe place to talk about something this delicate but here I am with no care in the world, leaving my phone on loud speaker on my desk while on a call with my brother.
"Noted. I’ll get back to you in the morning." Liam says.
A grin masquerades my lips. Good. I just finished knoting my tie and I stick it underneath the inner layer suit then button my tuxedo. "That will be all for now."
"Enjoy your dinner." Liam utters. Even without looking at him physically, I can see the sly grin forming across his face and hear the mock in his words. I abhor interactions and I hate school celebrations. Apparently, I have to participate with a smile or at least show interest.
"You won’t be laughing for long." I scoff. He bursts out laughing.
"You sure? Because I probably will send a media team just to sneak photos of you in that party. I need to see that frown, it will be peak blackmail content."
That irks me. It’s a kids party. Thinking about it a second time makes me cringe. It’s almost as if my job tonight is to babysit a bunch of teenagers.
I turn and walk to my desk, grabbing my phone. "I look majestic. Your media team should worry about keeping their heads intact while taking my photos. School ground doesn’t mean no murder."
"Relax брат. Life shouldn’t always be taken seriously." Liam sighs. He sounds cheery and comfortable. Too comfortable.
