We Could Be In Love (English)

Chapter 23~ The serious talk

Graynard's POV

"How's your task?" Beth spoke as she watched me walk towards her. I scratched the back of my head, showing that I wasn't in the mood to talk about our business. She was kept on calling me last night when I was at the night club asking what I was doing. I had no choice but to tell her I was following her beloved daughter. In the first place, I had no intention to follow Alexis. Beth gave me her address and so I decided to go there and checked the place. I didn't even know I would see her sneaking out. Her aunt probably didn't know she left. After seeing her, there was something in me telling I needed to go and chase her. And so I made a sudden decision.

"Graynard. Are you still with me?" Beth woke me up from deep thought. I took a deep breath before nodding at her.

"What is it that you want to know?" I answered her with a lack of interest.

"Sit first." She pointed the seat across from her and it made me oblige."What happened last night?" She enthusiastically asked me. Wow! She was really nosy.

"Nothing happened." My voice remained calm, trying to control not to yell at her. After dealing with her obnoxious daughter, she would expect me to come home and tell her that everything is working well according to her will? Huh! That's absolutely senseless.

"Come on! Spill the beans. You didn't go home last night so that means something special happened between the two of you." She beamed.

"You know what? Just be contented with what I am doing for you."

"It's for your own good Graynard."

"For my own good or for your own benefit?" I retorted, giving her a stern look.

"I'm just doing my best to correct my mistake Graynard. I hope you get that." She defended.

"But, why do I have to do the things you want? Why me? There are a lot of people out there that you can ask instead of me. I have nothing to do with your shit."

"She shook her head in disagreement. "You're part of it but It's not the right time to tell you the whole of it."

I sighed in frustration. "What will happen after I do what you want?"

"Don't be excited. You're just starting it. We'll see."

"I'm just curious." I bleated. "Does Glenn know about your plan?" I interrogated her inquisitively.

"No." She answered me briefly causing me to speculate of what would be the reason for hiding it from his son. She might have had a feeling about Glenn's attitude towards her abominable sister. I arced my brow when a question formed in my brain unexpectedly.

"Ahem..." I cleared my throat before I spoke. " Does Glenn have any feelings for Alexis?" I wasn't sure if the tone of my voice was actually asking.

"What?" She looked at me in disbelief. "Why are you saying such things like that?"

"Again, I'm just curious." An odd feeling occurred in my heart as I mentioned his name. I couldn't get the picture but there was a pinch in my chest thinking that Glenn might have felt something for her sister. Damn!

"That's not gonna happen. Glenn is just overprotected with her sister."

"I see."Perhaps, she was right. Why was I giving myself a problem to think? It wasn't a good sign.

"I'm sorry if you're chosen to do this duty." So, she felt sorry about it huh. Well, her apology wouldn't be accepted. If she had a plan, I would also make my own. She already invaded my privacy. Why wouldn't make it a game any way? Guessed, it would have had a lot of fun if I tricked her as well.
