Chapter 216: Fool Me Twice
"Jordan, Jordy..." Arthur shook his head and put his hands inside his trouser pockets. His eyes unwaveringly looked at Jordan and he didn’t even look at the woman weeping pitifully. "You should have listened to me and took a cab. And now.. ?"
His steady voice, smooth and yet menacing made Jordan shudder. He tried to speak,but his voice didn’t come out as if he had cotton stuffed up in his throat. His chest felt heavy and he couldn’t breath properly and he gasped and the cold air rushed in his lungs hurting his chest more. His brain stopped functioning; the tip of his fingers felt tingly like it got dipped in acid and that stingy feeling passed throughout his body, making him tremble. He felt like someone had yanked his soul out of his body, leaving only a husk of himself.
She did it again!
The whole parking echoed the pitiful sniffles of the woman shaking with her shoulders scrunched and with her hands covering her face, she was softly mumbling amd pleading.
Who would side with me in this situation? No one did the previous time. My life almost got ruined back then.
Right! It didn’t go south back then. It was Arthur who interfered, making the Principal investigate properly using his influence as the President’s son, and helped prove my innocence. There were no cameras back then where it happened and it was the President who gave pressure to conduct a proper investigation when the Principal was just going to suspend him from school, right when the final exams were a month away.
When no one else believed me, it was Arthur who decided to give me a chance.
That warm memory, warmed him up. His eyes that went cloudy, focused himself to see Arthur and his ears that were ringing out of stress perked up. Arthur was looking to his back. That’s where his car usually get parked.
There came the sound of footsteps and Jordan realised where he is standing. This particular parking space is reserved for the executives of Northern Star and their Assistants. Everywhere in this parking lot is covered with cameras. In fact every parking lot of the office is covered with cameras without any blind spots. Jerome is not someone who is stingy with money and after a woman who worked here got robbed in the parking lot, Jerome installed a lot of cameras for security purposes.
How did I forget that?
Arthur’s chauffeur passed Jordan and Jordan looked at Arthur giving a slight nod to the chauffeur.
