Bloody Business(mxb)

Chapter 7

Guy cleared his throat before speaking. "He's not for sale. Not anymore."

"W-w-what are you talking about? I got you a customer."

"He's uh...I found a use...for him...already." He tapped his finger on his lap. Leviathan noticed it.

"Um uh, I don't know what to say here." Daniel chuckled awkwardly.

"I'll send Iván another boy."

"Guy?" Leviathan cross-examined Guy. He could tell he was hiding something. Even Guy himself didn't know why he just rejected finally getting rid of Kenji.

"I gotta go." He left them confused. He had never left Leviathan without being dismissed before so he felt kind of off the entire way back to the main building.

He parked underground and headed to his office on the third floor. He sometimes uses this office but not as often as the one in apartment 111. He went to the door with the number 98 on it. He shut himself in the office and tried to get his thoughts together. He got a sudden call from V. "What?" He answered.

"Woah, what's that?"

"Ahem, it's nothing. Why'd you call?"

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted anything to eat. The guys are going out to get food."

"I'm fine."

"Brother, where are you right now?"

He sighed. "I'm at my main office."

"I'm coming there right now."

"No. Don't come. I'm busy with something."

"Alright. If you say so."

He hung up. He sat on his chair behind the desk. He sighed deeply before keeping himself busy with work. He checked on merchandise, orders and a whole other bunch of stuff. He got an email regarding the land they recently bought to expand their offices. It said that he had to be present when building materials get delivered to the site. He got busy with work until late at night. Everyone else had gone home by the time he realized that he was staring at a screen the entire morning until night.

He then remembered that the food back at the apartment was running out since he's living with someone now. He called the apartment phone in hopes that Kenji would answer it.

Back at the apartment Kenji was just spacing out on the couch while watching TV. All the memories of the past came flooding into his mind nonstop ever since he told Guy about his past. His emotional well being got affected because of it.

A sudden ringing sound brought him out of his thoughts. He sat up, confused where the ringing was coming from since he never saw a telephone in the apartment before. He searched for the source of the ringing. It took him a few seconds but he finally found a telephone behind the TV. "H-hello?" He cautiously answered.

"It's me. Would you at least answer the phone, geez. What took you so long?"

"Don't blame me. I had no idea there was a phone in this place."

"You've searched high and low for a way to escape but you didn't see that phone? You're something, aren't you." Kenji ignored him while frowning. "Anyway, I called because I want you to check what's finished in the kitchen. I'm gonna buy groceries."
