Mia POV
Just when I raised my hand to knock on the door, I decided to wait as I heard voices inside . it was more than one voice this time. Even with the way he told me not to eavesdrop his work, I just would not. I am so curious about what happened with that man .
"It was necessary".
" no no that is not how we work "
"It is not necessary , all we need is to have it delivered safely."
" Don't be a fool, how will Adkins react at this ?"
I heard them argue but there was no voice of My boss. Is he just listening to what the other ms are saying or he is not in his office and perhaps he is in his bedroom. But what are they even talking about, when I turn back to head towards the bedroom, then comes his voice.
"You all have to listen !" He says in that authoritative voice that is capable of making me go insane from the inside.
"What do you have to say Brad ?" One of the men says.
"We have to tell Adkins that his son was against the law and that is why he got killed" one of the men says. Killed !! What does he even mean , you mean they shot that guy for going against the law. But what law permits shooting someone just like that .
"Why are you always so sincere?" One of the men ask a question that I know is aimed for Brad.
"That is how everything works " Brad answers. One heart tells me to go away before they get to know that I am here but another tells me to remain and hear whatever they have to say. I have a strong feeling these people are into something so dangerous but I just don't know what exactly it is.
Even when I know it is dangerous to remain here, I just cannot drag my legs away from here .There is a silence which lasts for about a full minute and they soon resume their talk.
"Okay , we have to make a conclusion on what we are going to tell him " One of the man with a hoarse voice says .
"So what do say ?" Brad asks .
"We just have to keep it " one of the unknown men says .
"NO!!" Brad says but this time in a very angry tone and the next I hear are sounds which prompts me to look through the key hole to see what is taking place. Oh my God !! This is so strange, There are about five unknown men plus Brad and two guards that are always down stairs. They all have guns pointing at each other . Their faces are so tough and bloody. What is happening here? There can only be one explanation to this, these are mafias. How did I get here in the first place. I don't wait for anything else but move away with my jug of juice going away from here. What did I out myself into. This is not wanted I wanted.
My main aim was to get a simple job and have a peaceful life. I didn't want to find my self in this kind of life .I headed to the kitchen once again sipping a glass of water, something that I do each time when I feel so nervous and confused . This is too much for me. How do I behave right now, should I act like I didn't see a dead man laying in a pool of blood and then I have seen them pointing guns at each other like it is some normal thing to do .
How the hell did I get here for sure . As I am still contemplating about all this, I feel a presence behind me telling me that there is something behind me and I turn quickly not expecting the person that is before me.
"Good evening " i say excited at least for having someone that I can talk to after all that has happened vto me.
"Good evening, Mia. How has the day been today ?" She asks me with that smile that doesn't leave her face from the moment I meant her yesterday.
"It has been okay , Riley" I say to her though I know the truth that I am not telling the truth. I just don't think it is a good idea to tell her everything.
"What is wrong Mia, you seem to have so much on your head . What us the problem with you ?" She asks me with clear concern in her eyes.
"No, nothing " I say trying as much as I can to hide whatever is taking place in my head.
"Do you know that you are an open book that I can read with just me looking at you " she says insisting and persuading me to tell her.
"Okay," I say giving up as we sit on high stools each of us having a cup of coffee at hand..
"Okay, do you mind telling me every thing" she says as soon as we are settled on the stools.
"I observed something so strange today " I begin having second thoughts about telling her. What if she also has something to do with all this.
"What do you mean ?" She asks me impatiently.
"Today..." Then her phone went . she looked at it and her facial expression became serious suddenly which indicated that maybe it is something serious.
"I need to answer this call " she says and disappears through the door heading upstairs maybe. I am relaxed by the fact that I was not able to tell her. Even if she seems to be a nice person, I have only met her yesterday and I therefore don't think it is the best thing to tell her my deep concerns.
I sat waiting for her for some time but the good thing is that she didn't come back. I tired to act as composed as I could and started preparing dinner since it is one of the things that brought me here and not eavesdropping my boss and all his business that he carries out.
"I then to talk to you ,now !" I suddenly hear his voice making me turn so shocked by his entrance here
