Niall POV

“What’s taking her so long?” Ellie panicked beside me.

“I don’t know.” I huffed – I was getting really worried and sitting here in the car, just waiting for her to come out was getting me more anxious.

“Oh god, what if Mr Daniel got what he wanted?” I could her Ellie whisper beside me.

“What?” I snapped my head in her direction, “What the hell are you talking about?”

She didn’t answer – instead she held a guilty look on her face.

“Ellie!” I shouted, “what’s going on?!”

“Alright! Alright! Just calm down! Give me a moment.” She closed her eyes before speaking again, “He has always wanted to use her.”

“What?” I coughed.

“He – he has mentioned something – something about writing an article on her and how she used you.”

“But what has that got to do with now?” I questioned further.

“Are you fucken dumb or what!” She shouted – causing me to flinch, “he’s going to use truth or dare as a way to ask her questions.”

“… and Alex can’t lie.” I finalized.

“What if he – ”

“No, no, no! I have to help her, I can’t just sit here!” I opened the door of the car but before I could get anywhere, I was yanked back by Ellie.

“Are you crazy!? You’ll get killed out there! Remember where you are Niall.” Ellie held a concern look, “you’re right in front of a newspaper company – where paps work. So don’t.”

“But I can’t just sit here!” I debated.

We’re wasting time and Alex is in trouble.

“I’ll go!” Ellie shouted over my raging breathes.

I stopped trying to get out and turned back to her, “but I don’t want to sit here and just watch Alex suffer.”

She pondered for a moment, “I have an idea.”

Alex POV

This was pure torture.

I had the upper hand before – what happened?

“Let’s start, shall we?” He held an evil smirk.

I feel like vomiting.

I nodded, “but – but this time you have to go first.”

He chuckled, “very well.”

I gulped before asking, “Truth or Dare?”

“Truth.”

Chicken.

“Are you planning to sack Ellie?” I uttered.

“Why… of course not! Not after what you have done for the company! Unless… you decide to go against us, then yes, I will fire Ellie but not you.

But not me? What?

“Why not me?” I rushed.

“One question at a time,” Mr Daniel stood up from his chair.

Evil bastard.

“Right,” I began looking around the room. “Truth.”

I was playing it safe.
