The Gem's Vessel

Chapter 3

Laughs filled the empty office, Two women just hanging out for a couple of hours. But soon the laughter's stopped as an old man entered the office, well not really an old man, he looks like he's in his 50s. Ok maybe he is old but whatever. The man walk up to the both ladies who was having lots of fun until this old man comes in.

Angelin's face dropped as the tension is now very cold and dangerous. That's one of her specialties, she can feel wether any moment can be dangerous.

The man walked up to the both of them, eyes cold, no smile or any good gesture on his face to show. He then stopped as he spotted Angelin on the guest's couch, He looked her at intensely, more like glaring. Angelin didn't know what to do instead of smiling, she just kept quiet and just stared at him back.

'why is he so familiar yet not familiar. Have i seen him somewhere?'

Nisha then felt the tension inside the office is getting higher as she stood up to face the old man but before she could communicate with him, She turned and smiled at Angelin. She softly said; "Angelin, Can you leave the office for us to speak privately?"

Angelin hesitantly look at her at the man, the man didn't even glance away from her, so she nodded as if he wasn't even there. But she then got a call from one of her sisters, she then grabbed her phone from her pocket as she walks out of the office. She answered the call

"Hello, Ambri. Any help?"

"Ah yes! I really do need your help.. It's very important. An anonymous package was delivered to our house."

"Wait, you don't have anything to do today? You're not busy?"

"Well, i do have some businesses in the shop, but i got a call from a weird person saying that a package was delivered. I went home so i decided to check it out. Maybe you should too, Lee is on the way!"

Before Angelin could talk more, Ambri hang up the call. Angelin sighs as she is now outside the building, getting her key car, she noticed that the old man look weirdly familiar somewhere in her mind. Not that she care now, she drove back to their house before she is late.

Meanwhile...

"Tell me..is that her?!"

"Why, yes, it is her."

"Good. Our plan is doing great. Keep it going."

"If they're back, I'll gladly teach them lessons. Thank you for your help."

"My pleasure."

Angelin parks outside of the garage, she then saw the door opened widely. Panicking, she quickly turn off the car engine as she unbuckle the seatbelt, scared that if her fear came true. She quickly ran out of the car to go to the opened wide door to look for Ambri, but to her surprise, Ambri was just standing there, holding a package that she mentioned.

Angelin sighs in relief before closing the front door, but not before glaring at Ambri who made her worried sick.

"You should've locked the door, in case someone will just barged in. You could've gotten killed!" Angelin frustratedly reminded her, still is worried sick. But then a knock was heard and a voice called out: "Angelin? Ambri? Why are y'all screaming for?, Open the goddamn door." The doorknob was seriously gonna be broken by how Ashlee tryna break the door open. Angelin frustratedly groans at this mess, Ambri sighs and opened the door and greeted Ashlee

"Hey Lee, a little reminder, it was Angelin, who scream. Not me, and welcome i guess. How's work?" Ambri innocently smiles at Ashlee, Ashlee hums at the information.
