Chapter 150: The Argument
Nora walked to him hesitantly while Demetri stood up. As she reached him, he quickly caught her chin between his fingers and gently kissed her lips. Her eyes widened as she quickly kissed him back and stepped away while he complained," You’d forgotten to kiss me."
Smiling and feeling shy at the same time, she quickly rolled her eyes to him and waved a goodbye to him and Gabe, who continued to stand there.
The door had barely closed behind her when the atmosphere in the office changed from cold to freezing. Gabe and Demetri stared at each other, each refusing to back down.
For what seemed an eternity, the battle of wills continued until Gabe was forced to look away," Please Demon. This is the only way."
However, Demetri shook his head unequivocally and answered, "No."
"Why not? My plan is fool proof. Nora has already proven that she can stay calm under threats. And if we were to follow my plan, it would mean killing two birds with one stone. Can you at least consider it."
"I cannot consider it, Gabe. I won’t. You THINK your plan is foolproof but sitting where I am, I can already point out a few glaring flaws in your theory."
"Then tell me those flaws and I will work on making the plan better. It is what we do. Help me Demon. Help me help you. I will make sure that Arabelle will never come into your life again."
"I have other ways of getting rid of Arabella without the high stakes and high price that you are asking me to pay."
