Chapter 80: Something to tell you
After Knox dropped Knoa off at Franz’s café that day they visited Shawn at the hospital, he went back to work and did what Steve suggested. He came to Athan and brought out the issue, also informing him that he was aware it was his brother who left the illegally obtained evidence.
Athan just laughed it off even after he was scolded by his younger half-brother. He was glad that Knox learned not to keep everything to himself and was feeling more comfortable relying on others already.
"Since my precious younger brother asked, I shall do it then," Athan dramatically remarked, obviously teasing Knox.
Knox rolled his eyes and answered, "How are you going to do it?"
"How else? Interrogate her, of course. Tell Vince to come and bring that woman to the meeting room. A better way to make someone sing their motives was to scare them with their own voice," Athan replied mysteriously.
Knox felt something strange. He stared at Athan with wide eyes probing him for more answers, but the latter just stuck his tongue out to him before walking away.
"Hey, at least, tell me, Athan!" Knox asked following Athan from behind. His voice rang outside the room where the design department’s staff working area was. It was already too late when Knox realized what he had done. Everyone in the room was looking at them already.
Athan just shrugged his shoulders and responded calmly, "It’s better if you don’t know."
Knox averted his eyes from the employees, "But...shouldn’t I be present there as well? They involved me, I want to know why..."
Athan stopped. He pondered for a while before agreeing, but he still wasn’t comfortable letting Knox see his wicked side. He looked down at Knox and pouted, "Then...call me older brother from now on."
Knox gaped at him. Athan arched his brows and added, "Well if you can’t then just stay here. I’ll handle this with Vince."
