When He Returned - Part 20 "Corrupt? James, you really think I'm idiotic enough to try that? That company can't go down even if a curse was bestowed upon it." I scoffed rubbing my eyes slightly.
"Then?" He questioned.
I chuckled slightly, closing my eyes preparing for his reply to what I was about to say. "I'm buying it .." There was silence. Just silence. Which I must say, wasn't what I expected so I opened my eyes slowly, scared of what I was going to see. He was silent still, jaw agape slightly, watching me in what you could say was horror.
"What?" He whispered.
"Buying it .. I said I'm buying it." I shrugged.
"It as in the Lombardi Company 'it'?"
"Why is that so hard to believe?" I asked raising my eyebrows slightly.
"Well for one, Daniel Lombardi wouldn't sell his company even over his dead body, and secondly ... Eva he will not let you buy it .. And if you try, you're asking for serious trouble."
I smirked spinning around in the chair watching lights flicker outside. "I like trouble... And I like the danger that comes along with it."
There was a sullen knock at the door.
"Come in!" James hollered as I heard the sound of the paper bags scrunched up and thrown in the tin garbage beside me. "We are not done discussing this."
"Ma'am, there's a Mr. Jackson here for you." The guard announced poking his head through the gap of the door.
Mr. Jackson? Michael? What on earth was he doing here?
"Uhm ..." I turned my chair around looking at the guard as he stood waiting for a response.
"Yes let him in .." James nodded turning to him.
"James?!" I hissed sitting up.✨
