Bang!!!!
" I saw them Stephen, I saw them", Calli barked at the top of his voice while proceeding to kick his office chair and turning his table over. His office was a mess, nothing like the usual.
"Can you calm down and explain what happened because a while ago you were so happy to go get Ann for your date that you woke up by six o' clock to rub it in my face and you left your home to her place only for you to come back a wild beast", Stephen asked while holding Cali still although he was still vibrating with anger.
"I saw them Stephen, she held Josh's hands and they walked into his car together smiling and acting as lovers. I am so sure she forgot that we had a date today. F#ck!!!", Calli complained and groaned pulling his hair.
He had never thought that Ann could betray him. She loved him too much to hurt him.
"She won't leave me right?", Cali asked in a teary voice and Stephen knelt to pat his back.
Stephen had never seen him break down for any woman, not until he met Ann.
"Calm down bro, chill, she would never cheat on you and come on, something must have gone wrong", Stephen assured.
"Hand over your phone?", Stephen ordered but in a soft tone.
"For what?", he asked in confusion.
"So that I can try calling her fool", Stephen blurted, a little astounded at Cali's reduction in reasonability.
Stephen went through the phone until something caught his attention.
"Calli", Stephen called out to Cali who was crouched down with his head on his knees, looking like a lost child.
"Yes Stephen", he answered.
"When did you get a new phone?, I thought you were using the limited edition of Samsung but this phone you just handed over is a replica and cheaper too", Stephen observed which shocked Cali as he turned over to examine it.
"You are right?, I would never use something this cheap and fake, I didn't get a new phone, I always use my phone", Cali said while inspecting the phone.
"Did you sleep with a woman yesterday ?", Stephen asked with raised eyebrows.
"No, don't you remember we to took part in a video conference yesterday night and it ended by five in the morning and how does sleeping with a woman result in me having a fake phone?", Cali said, not getting the point.
"Because you might have switched phones with her", Stephen said smacking his forehead at Cali's reduction in IQ was obvious.
"Wait I think this whole thing is a setup because this fake phone also has Ann's number. Something is fishy. Did anything unusual happen yesterday?", Stephen asked.
"Well Ann beat the living daylight out of my men and a man bumped into us at the garage and my phone fell", Cali said nonchalantly while chuckling at how Ann defeated him.
"You're a lost cause, of course Ann would beat you, according to my investigation she's the Mafia princess and her dad chose Josh to be her fiancee", Stephen said still going through the phone.
"Wait a minute, so you knew all this and kept it from me?", Cali asked in anger.
"Yes because she threatened to kill me, well, she almost killed me when she found out I knew", Stephen said and Cali relaxed a bit but still chuckling.
"Look here, this is not Ann's number, her number ends in 701 but this ends in 709 which means you have been calling the wrong person all morning. This is a well laid plan to create a rift between you two and there's a third-party in your love story", Stephen figured out.
"Josh is the one behind all this silly game and Dennis, the guy that bumped into me is an accomplice in his plan. He must have switched my phone when he offered to pick it up and foolish me was planning to give him a job in my company", Cali said while punching the wall.
"That means Ann must have tried calling you but someone else was with your phone and yeah...yeah.. it all makes sense that you saw Josh and Ann together because today is their engagement. She might have tried call and someone else picked up, misunderstood that you abandoned her and agreed to get engaged to Josh", Stephen said.
"Oh no, what must I do?", Cali asked anxiously. When it got to matters with Ann, he lost his reasoning capability. At the thought of her marrying Josh, he screamed and broke a glass, "No she's mine".
Stephen was amused at Cali's not so cool demeanor, "well are you done?, do you think bringing down your company in ruins would solve this problem, firstly you're a fool!!", he said and Cali through him a dangerous glare.
"What?, if you had stopped her when you saw her with Josh, it would have been better and whatever misconception she had would have been cleared because for her to have abandoned you and submitted to her father's will, since you know she's not submissive means that she thought you cheated on her and secondly I think this is Josh's scheme all along, it's unlike Josh to lie low all this months. I think he loves Ann deeply", Stephen said.
"Shut up.... I will never let him take what's mine. I will teach him a lesson so hard that he will regret ever being a step brother to me. I'll ruin him just like how I ruined his mom for plotting against mine. He'll regret the day he was born", Cali said as he rushed out and Stephen followed suite to stop him from commiting any crime.
Meanwhile there was someone lurking in the shadows, a spy taking note of all that had transpired, " Sir they have figured it out, I say that you make the engagement snappy".
"Don't tell me what to do?", the boss said and hung up.
"I would never let you win, you will fall flat on your face and I'll humble you".
