It's been three days now since Olivia was taken from the exhibition , nobody knows where she is and Xavier was acting so crazly ever since then as he couldn't get any left behind clue about her disappearance .
Xavier paced in his office back and front , scratching his forehead , his shirt sleeves on his elbows , two buttons open , his tie so loose on his neck almost hanging on his abdomen and the mind was just not his .
His working table looked a mess , anyone could tell he did not focus at anything . Terence walked inside finding his boss and also his best friend in unexplainable state , this girl really affect his sanity.
" Xavier " he called and Xavier stood still , his eyes held bugs telling that he didn't sleep for days now , Terence sighed as his hands akimbo and Xavier hit the table so hard , dropping the beautiful frame of his picture and it crashed.
" Am sure that son of a bitch did kidnap her " Xavier spoke looking out through his glass window , he was just having this hunch about William being so responsible for whatever is happening. He saw him on the event moreover following her to the Washroom , that means he knew or doubted she was there.
" Are you sure she's kidnapped ?" Terence asked and Xavier frowned , " What are you trying to say , Tere?" he asked his veins bulging more , showing he was way too pissed now.
" I mean ...maybe ..." he couldn't finish his sentence because he realized he was crossing a limit and the man before him would rant it all out on him instead.
" You mean , she just left " he spoke more like a question in a awe state , his mind was so frenzy and couldn't believe that his friend was having such a doubts on his woman .
" Well she didn't left Tere , not like that ..... she's just.. she's lost " he said pulling a seat , he couldn't handle the feeling harbouring on his chest right , it was too much . He lowered his head as his hands ruffled his hairs making them look more than a mess.
" Well ... may be CCTV cameras would give us a clue. Tere suggested as he sat on the other sofa far from him. Xavier raised his head up and gazed at him , " I've checked all of them " .
" What about the back yard , the garden , i bet there is one over there too " Tere spoke and Xavier's eyes lightened up, his hope raised , he didn't check the back yard garden, but before he could utter another word , his phone rang and he had to check , it was Rosella .
" What is it Rose ?" he asked , " Emma will be here tonight and i want to talk to you " she insisted and he breathed heavily before agree to her request. " I will be there " he said and hunged up.
" Check if there is one , Rosella needs me , moreover Emma would be here tonight " he spoke as he walked out leaving a delighted Terence on hearing that Emma will be back tonight .
Terence dialed and ordered someone to clean the mess his friend made in there and left for the job he was assigned for.
............................
" So what did she tell you ?" Willy asked leaning his head on his office chair , Peter smiled and it was indeed a good sign .
" Well she agreed to be on terms with us but on one condition " Peter explained , " She wants us to sign a contract " he added . Willy raised his eyebrow , he knew making Miss Carter stay on the agreement would be hard especially when his position being at a risk .
" A contract ?" he spoke more like asking while he heard what Peter said , " What are the terms , now ?" he added and Peter's face got serious , it wasn't easy this time .
" It states if we fail , all the funding and earned profit will be hers " he spoke and now it sounded a very bad idea because the chance of them winning is so slim .
" Did you agree ?" Willy asked although he doubted that this damn man did agree and maybe signed it with a company's seal that signifies a permission of the CEO , that's him , William.
" Well..... i kinda did " a loud banging voice was heard and Peter sat still , he knew this would happen and he's just used to his friend's behaviour , it's his nature even when it comes to womens.
" Did you sign with a seal , Peter ?" he asked more hoping he didn't sign yet , though highly doubted him . " I did " Peter replied looking straight to his eyes and Willy scoffed banging the table so harder this time .
" Don't be a freak Willy , we have no choice, do we ? " Peter whispered but was so enough for his exploding boss to hear . " Did you just call me a freak ?" , now he was into insults like he's not one , Peter thought .
" Do we have a choice ?" he corned him with a question he knew the answer , " Well no " Willy replied . " Then don't be a freak " Peter said looking everywhere except his face .
" Call me that again and i will Castrate you " Willy threatned but it didn't bug Peter whom scoffed like he heard a teasing sentence.
" Get out " Willy ordered and Peter stood , composed himself then walked to the door. He then turned and loooked at the fuming Willy and he smirked , " Should i really go ?" he asked teasing him more .
" GET OUT " he now shouted and Peter smiled , " Well i bet you can handle Olivia's case by yourself then " he said twisting the door knob and Willy's senses kicked his mind .
" Come back here " he ordered again and Peter now smiled wide , " N-E-V-E-R " he stated and walked out .
" Come back here , Peter " William shouted behind but Peter could care less , his friend was a headache in disguise , it was just so tiring listening to him all the time because one minute , he's a freak other the bastard and then a good and humble man , his mixed character were so hard to handle especially when being cold and heartless dominated his sweet side.
William now regretted sending Peter away , he just couldn't handle Olivia all by himself . He just fucked up three days ago and he didn't show up before her since then . He has to meet with her , talk to her and amend things because they seems to be on his side and the only obstacle is Olivia , only if she agrees things would go as planned.
................
" Miss Rosella , am home " a girl shouted as she walked in after opening the door , her hands released the bug she was holding and fell to the floor as she ran to the kitchen knowing she would be in there.
"Miss Rosella " the girl now called in a teasing like voice as she peeked from the kitchen's door but nobody was there . " Where did she go ?" she asked herself as she walked back to the living room .
Her stuffs still on the floor , she didn't want to give up , "Xavier " she called but no response . " Where did they go ?" she questioned herself again as she picked her stuffs and walked upstairs.
Her palms touched the door knob , sighed before she grabbed it open and walked inside . It was her room and it looked the same , just like how she left it.
After a while.
A door opened revealing Rosella and Xavier as they walked inside only to meet a girl sitting her legs crossed laying on a sofa having a head phone on her ears . Their sad expression changed instantly.
" When did she arrive , ooh God i could have stayed home " Rosella exclaimed as she walked to the sleeping girl , tapped her shoulders and her eyes flung open .
"Miss Rosella " she shouted as she grabbed her by neck pulling her down with her , " Ouch , quit it Emma am not as strong as you " Rosella exclaimed as Xavier smiled , this was his family being together.
" I just missed you old woman " Emma said after Rosella moved from her smiling so Wide. " What's with a sulking face brother ?" Emma asked as she walked to Xavier and pulled him into a tight hug .
" She's lost " Xavier spoke on a low voice and Emma pulled him so tight knowing how much that woman means to him , although she never met her .
" Am sorry Xavi , but she did not leave at her will did she ?" Emma asked because it was also an option to consider but Xavier's frowned after hearing her young sister's doubts , they are just like Tere's .
" No she can't leave on her own , i know her ....someone took her " he said his jaws tightened and his teeth gritted each other .
" But don't worry i will find her " he aid kissing her forehead and she smiled , " Well i missed you chips " he said and Emma pushed him away .
" Stop calling me that , Xavi " she shouted as she pulled a pillow and threw it to him . Xavier laughed so hard , " So are you not chips anymore " he added and a marathon started running around .
Rosella smiled looking at them , it was their usual teasing each other , scold and fight sometimes , she walked to the kitchen to prepare something for them , because after there both of them would ask her and pout if needed when the food is not ready .
After a while the two siblings meet each other , they deserve happiness and she would prepare their favourite or something that would remind them of some beautiful memories , since to her they are her childrens.
She cooked , served when they finished playing with each other , took shower and walked down for the dinner .
