I don't know what he meant by that, the only thing I could think of over and over again is, 'what has my father done this time.' I so badly want to deny the accusation but I know my father way too well. Trouble was his second name, since growing up, we've been in several debts before and it was not easy to get out of either of them, loan sharks, banks, and now his own boss has come to our house. I thought he said he had quit this time and that he had paid his dept. Or could it be that this man is here for another reason.
I don't think he realizes it but his hand is moving, and not just that am not sure he realizes what he's doing at the moment, I was about to step back to avoid his reach, but then he let out a small gasp as if he had just woken up from a dream, and am not sure if the dream is a good or a bad one so what was that about. "To think that you're the daughter of that fox." Fox, was that supposed to be my father, this could be more serious than I thought. "What is your name?"
"Rebecca, it's Rebecca Reynold." I tell him. He draws near and leans in, his eyes traced around my body as if he were examining me, and I can tell you, I wasn't very comfortable knowing that he looked at me like that.
He nods and steps back. "Do you know where your father is?" He asks, I shake my head in denial and he once again stare blankly at me, I almost thought I had done something wrong when he said to me, "cat's got your tongue." I had to speak if I didn't want any problem, looking at him he already looks pissed, but something about him looks pretty familiar, I wonder, where the hell have I seen such a beautiful man from with such peculiar looks, his eyes twitched while I stared at him without answering. If he was waiting for me to give my reply then I suggest he hold on a bit, am not done checking his face out yet. His face that has complete irritation written over it that won't be sufficient to hide his beauty it would suite him if he smiled a lot more cause frowning like that could cause wrinkles and make him look old, and am certain he doesn't want that.
Finally I was done with my examination, too bad he looks so skinny, I doubt he has any abs at all. "No I don't know where my father is, we haven't spoken to each other in eight months so there's nothing I can do for you at the moment, so if you have a query with him, I suggest you wait until after his return." I tell him.
"Do you know that your father's life rest in my hands right now." What, what the hell is he saying, did father sign a stupid contract without reading it again, or did he offer any of his body parts for black market this time. Please I hope that's not the case. I take a seat right opposite him, I reached for a glass of water and gulped it down. He spreads out his fingers indicating the number five.
"How much did you lend him, five thousand, fifty thousand..." Each time I called a figure he would shake his head. Well he does seem wealthy maybe he took more than that, but how much did father take from him. I fill my glass once again, awaiting his response.
"50 Million." I felt as if I could die from choking on the water I just drank, I somehow managed to cough up all the water I drank and it hurt as the water spilled from my nose. "Here." He reached for his breast pocket and brought out his handkerchief, I wasn't expecting this from a man who came to demand money from my father.
"Thank you." I took hold of the handkerchief, however he did not let go, did he not want to give me his handkerchief, why isn't he letting go, I tried to let go but then he immediately let go, apologizing to me. "Am sorry, how much did you say he owes you again?"
"50 Million." My eyes widen at the mention of the monstrous amount, what the hell did father do with all that money, he better not be on the coast of an island with some young chick. "That is the amount your father had stole from me, he information he stole was worth 50 Million to start up with, am not including other charges like the profit that would be made later on, am just saying that you should at least pay that amount back, of course this is the cost for just this project but no the others which he had been stealing." Wait, there's more? "if I was to accumulate everything it would be worth over 300 Million, so how are you going to pay up, I can let you go for now if you can at least pay back the 50 million." I looked over at this man's face, he didn't seem like he was joking, on the contrary I felt like he could kill me at any time now. Oh my dear father whom I love so much, you've done it time haven't you. This man doesn't seem like he's going to let you off the hook that easily.
But still, I can't let him take a step without proof, if he's a loan shark then he must be afraid of the police, but honestly, he doesn't look like one, I swear his face looks damn familiar, but whatever, lets deny this. "Please, my father is not available at the moment, I know he must have offended you, but am not certain if you're not lying to me."
He nodded in agreement and signals someone from behind, he seems to be a right hand man cause he stand out from the rest of the men here. "Show her the video." Oh there's proof. Of course there's proof.
