Chapter 74: Mother got phone? No!
"I don’t care about the mess you made, but I don’t like how you betrayed me behind my back." Merlin narrowed his eyes and said as he softly lined his finger over the gun’s barrel.
Jim stiffened at once.
He slowly started to understand.
Merlin was more angry at his backstabbing compared to his actual crime. Is that it?
Jim’s mind raced. ’What should I do? What should I say? How can I get out of this mess?’
He had multiple questions but no answers.
The gun in Merlin’s hands was only making his brain even more numb, not helping him think.
Who is the one who said that one’s brain works the most under pressure?
What nonsense?
He couldn’t think straight at all, alright?
With no other choice, he opened his mouth and started to speak whatever came to his mind, "Boss. It is not like that. I never wanted to betray you or anything. All I wanted was an extra income. That’s all. I never thought of betraying you at all. I swear. Please trust me. I never thought of implicating you in my mess. Trust me, okay? You know me. I have been working for you for a long time. How could I ever betray you? There is no way. I think there is a misunderstanding between us. Yes. That’s right. This is all a huge misunderstanding. Nothing else.
