RYAN WALTZ'S DIARY

29 Nov.
Wednesday

Today, I am confused. Dad is constantly asking me to join his business and I don't want to.

I don't know why but I think I'm not interested in it and deep down I feel that either it is not good for me or I am not good for it.

I want to refuse him straight away but that will mess up things. He has anger issues. He will never listen to my opinion quietly.

BLAIR'S POV

I went to bed and I was frustrated. I was annoyed by acting like a sweet, shy girl who laughs at dumb jokes, shy about getting praised.

I was never like that. But I had to continue to pretend till I achieved my goal. My phone was ringing.

I picked it up and that fat bee started talking. "Hey! Have you done your work or not? I think you are deceiving us. Better not act smart or else!"

I quickly cut down his words and said - " You! Don't threaten me. You are unaware of my dangerousness so better be within limits. And, You are deceiving me by not giving me the thing I want in exchange for work. How do I believe you that you aren't lying? Huh?"

He was silent for a second and replied - I ain't lying, I know that. But first, you should do your work with loyalty."

I rapidly muttered "Okay" and disconnected the call.

The Next Morning, I went to his room to find something relevant to the mission. I checked every drawer. All of a sudden, a voice came from the bathroom door. I hid in the adjacent wall of that door.

A man came out. He was Ryan. He wore a black shorts and no shirt. He saw me there.

"Why did you come here? Did you sneak into my room?" He said with a little tensed voice.

I didn't have any answer. "I- I came here- for, for,"

"Yes, speak now."

"For the, for the-, One minute, Can you please wear something. Your six packs are distracting me." (To myself) "Shit! What did I say?"

He took his bathrobe and wore it.

"I didn't mean that, I mean I was seeing your six packs, no! I mean your face-" I started explaining but he cut my stupid explanation and said - "Leave it, first tell me, why you came here in my room?"

I made an excuse. "A maid came in your room with seeing here and there. It was quite suspicious so I came to check what she's doing here."

"Then where is that maid?" He asked.

"She's gone," I said.

"Then why you aren't?" He again asked.

"Nice question! Then why I am here? Right, I am here because, because, yes! I'm here because I heard someone coming out of the bathroom. So I stopped to check who was there." I said.

"Now Are you done with your checking?" He said.

"Yes I'm done," I said.

"Then you may leave!" He said.
