Chapter 8: His backup boy
Elijah's pov ;
I rang the doorbell, and was irritated when the didn't open for a while. Why is he taking so long?
Finally, the door opened, and the face that greeted me instead of Ash made me go insane.
Noah stood there with one of his signature glares. "What are you doing here?"
I rolled my eyes boredly. "I should be asking you that. This is Ash's house."
He didn't miss a beat. "Ash is a friend, so naturally I'm always welcome here. Unlike some people."
Seeing him standing there so proud made me lose my patience. "Where's Ash? I don't have time to waste on useless things. My time is precious."
He smirked and looked me up and down. "Well, my time is also precious. So, why don't you take your attitude and leave?"
I crossed my arms and decided to show him his place.
"You think you're so important, don't you? Just because you're holding Luxe Gemstone together by a thread doesn't mean you can act like you own the place."
He raised a petty eyebrow. "Oooh, is it bad that I'm looking out for our company? Why do you smell so full of jealousy?"
