Draining Mr. Brainy -(DA series book 1)

Chapter 22

Tiny Point of View

My crush was crushed!

It has been a week since I last saw Human sculpture and to say I both missed him and did not miss him at the same time is an understatement.

Now looking straight into his eyes after a week of not meeting him, I didn't know what to expect from him. He did not try to see me or explain things to me in these past seven days.

"Okay, I'm Zorion Nigel Allard." He rasped out trying to gain my attention. I continued to look the other way, not giving him my attention.

Yeah, I came to know you were, in Allard's office last week.

Here I thought I would go to Human sculpture and narrate my courageous act of sending a criminal behind bars and show him how kind and brave I was; there I found out from Non King that he might've gone to Allard's office for some kind of deal.

Then what did I find?

Human sculpture is actually Human sculpture Allard!

Ilaria and Anete Allard's own blood brother and a part of triplet set.

Am I angry because he is an Allard? Heck no!

I'm huffing here because I went to him to seek my revenge on his own sisters and he didn't even clarify his status with them. Knowing he is an Allard, I can't even talk to him because all that comes out of my mouth is meow meow.

"Talk to me. I want to talk to you regarding something important." He tried again but I don't want to talk to him.

"Meow. Tiny, Miss Almond; this is important. Please." He pleaded softly making me turn a little towards and glance at him.

When he saw me looking at him, he sighed in relief and smiled at me which I did not return back. "I know you are angry at me. I'll do everything to pacify your anger, only I need your help in approaching Injgo first. We tried contacting through mails, phone calls but he doesn't want to do anything with us."

I looked around the park we are currently in making no attempt in talking to him back.

"Tiny!" He sighed attempting to get me talk again.

"Meow meeoww meow. Meoww meoooww, meow meoww moeeww?" I mumbled quietly, enough for him to hear.

I made it clear to him about Injgo, now it's up to him what he wants to do. Saying what I need to say, I got up from the bench and walked away from him.

He caught up quickly and held my arm to stop me from walking away. Turning me towards him, I still had my face turned towards the other side making sure I don't look at him.

"I didn't understand what you said back there but – I think we need to clear air between us. I just wanted to start my own business from scratch without Allard name attached to mine so no one knows the Allard family having a son. It's not just you. I liked the idea of staying hidden from public and run the company from behind the curtains so I just went for it with my sisters' help."

I nodded my head telling him I understood and took a couple steps away from him. He noticed that frowned but did not say anything.

"When you came to me for help that is the reason I did not accept but then you persisted so I thought why not use your smart ideas to take down our business rival Benjamin. On my defense, Benjamin is a complete pest. Thanks to your clever ideas, his business went down and he is out of the corporate world once and for all."

I just listened to him and did not reply again. His frown deepened as he took a few seconds to; maybe, contemplate what more to say to me.

"Let's do this. I will make you Allards' investments advisor and correct the mistake Ilaria and Anete did. Then we can go back to talking freely with each other." I kept mum.
