— the next day

“Why here?” I whisper yells as we walk inside the restaurant. It's one of those with dim lighting even in the afternoon, the velvet couches and soft aroma with jazz music playing in the background.

I don't know why he thought it's a good place to talk to her.

“Relax” He says, calmly “No one will disturb us here and most importantly she wouldn't be suspicious” He adds, walking beside me with ease, even today he is dressed in a suit. I don't think I have seen him wearing anything except that. He scans the place like he owns it, his hands in his pocket “There”

I follow his gaze and spot Iris seated in a private corner booth, scrolling through her phone least bothered about the situation. She is dressed beautifully — perfect makeup, a soft pastel dress, a designer bag resting beside her.

She seem up for a date

Oh well I am gonna ruin her whole life

I slide into the seat across from her without an invitation, she looks upon hearing the movement — giving me a fake smile, almost mockingly “So…” she drawly, showing her disinterest in being here "I thought you were already deported to your origin, what are you doing here?”

I try not to roll my eyes too hard. Not bothering with any kind of greetings “Tell your father to stop manipulating investors in pulling out of NYX”

She raises her eyebrows “Excuse me”

Girl, don't play dumb

“You heard me” I say more firmly, leaning forward “Tell him to stop immediately, he wanna leave? Fine. But don't drag others”

She laughs out loud
Gosh it's bad than those disney villains.

“Oh girl, are you that stupid” She scoffs, her eyes gleaming with cruelty “He wouldn't have pulled out in the first place he wanted to join again” She shrugs her shoulders, leaning back “The williams are undeserving anyways, I don't know why you brother to defend them. He won't listen, I won't tell him either”

My jaw tightens, I feel Jeff's presence lingering around us ready to interfere if anything happens. He said the closest we could get to her father is through her, the main root of the problem.

He said she would have more affect of my words because we had or still have conflicts.

Don't give up yet

“Oh he will listen” I say coldly, “And you will tell him because you wouldn't want these pretty privileges to be taken away from you when he gets rejected for his illegal imports or shady asset transfers right”

Her smile falters for half a second, then she scoffs again “Is this a joke? No one will believe you. This isn’t India, sweetheart. Wake up from your delusion”
