Me and my mother walked in the tall building that supposedly was Mr.Andrian building. The receptionist and other people was looking at us like we came from the circus. I hate when people look at me like this.
"Have a problem?"I look back at them tilting my head. My mom smacked my arm walking towards the receptionist.
"Andrian is on lunch break. You can come back when he's finished"the lady said.
"No ma'am, we want to talk to him now"I said with a smile. The receptionist nodded her head a bit afraid of me. She grabbed the phone pressing a button looking at me. Just only me.
"Why you always scarin people off? You have to be nice sometimes"my mom mumble.
"Why should I be nice? The world is never nice to people"I scoffed. "People always looking at you differently because of the way you dress or act. Like when we came in, they all starring at us"
"You just have bad anxiety"
"No. Anxiety is...."I pulled out my phone going on google. "Is Intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, and feeling tired may occur. Common causes of this symptom, Anxiety can be normal in stressful situations such as public speaking or taking a test. Anxiety is only an indicator of underlying disease when feelings become excessive, all-consuming, and interfere with daily living"I put my phone in my pocket. "That's anxiety"
"Mr.Andrian is ready to see you two"the lady fake smiled. Me and my mom both made our way to his office that was on the 15th floor. Usually the boss office would be on the 23rd or 24th. Not 15th.
"Ouuu they have everything here"I mumble. "Starbucks, a store, a gym. What's next? A pool"
"Noelani focus"my mom said. She knock on the room door waiting on Mr.Andrian. He finally came to the door with red puffy eyes. "Hey, you okay?"my mom touched his arms walking in the office.
"I'm fine Nadine"he walk to his office chair. "Somebody that knew my wife very well said something about you"
"What he or she said?"my mom ask.
"He said that he think you killed my wife. My daughter said her ex boyfriend told her it was a woman who was last scene with my wife"Mr.andrian sniffle.
"You think that I killed your wife"my mother mumble. "Andrian, you know me"
"You are just my daughter's boyfriend aunt!"—"I don't know you!"he semi yelled. Technically no.
"Actually, your daughter boyfriend is my baby daddy and that's my mother Nadine"I said. "We are here because we're looking for Ashlee and we think you know something about her"
"I don't...."
"Ohhh andrian I want you to think nice and hard"my mom went around the desk towards him. "Think about your business. It's a big ass corporation, right? Everybody wants to work with you not cause they like you, cause they want their drugs to be transported from New York to China or Africa..."
"Cuba"I said.
"Cuba, Alaska, Hawaii, South America. The list goes on and on"my mom sat on his desk. "Now I know dave is kingpin right now and I know Ashlee wants to take over New York again"
"Okay. I know they all want me"he look down. "But Willis is the one who wants to be kingpin so bad and he's getting rid of everyone who says they wants to be kingpin"
"What he have to do with anything?"I ask.
"I work with Willis. Willis is already on top"Mr.Andrian said.
"So where's Ashlee?"my mom ask.
"I don't know where she is"he said.
"Okay"I nodded my head.
"Just to let you know, Ashlee the one who probably killed your wife. Not me"my mom gave andrian a mean look.
"I'm sorry Nadine. I just wanted to find the killer"he said.
"Let the police know it was her"my mom open the door leaving out the office. I starred at a picture of him and Taylor. "Noelani lets go"
"You should talk to your daughter as well. She might know something"I walked out the office following my mother.
"We still going after Ashlee? Or Willis?"I ask.
"You know what, let Willis take over New York. Tell dave to leave with us and y'all can be a fam...."
"No. Not gonna happen"I walked away from her. I grab my phone out my back pocket looking at 2 missed calls from Dave. I clicked his number waiting for him to answer.
"Noelani, don't go to the house. Go to western union hotel"
"Dave what happened?! Where's Bastet?!!"I yelled.
"She's safe with me. Just go okay. Don't even worry about going back to the house"
I hung up the phone rushing to the elevator. "What's going on?! What Dave said?!"my mom semi yelled.
