Chapter 16 - PROMISE ME

MCFADDEN AIRWAYS

The cabin was rather quiet as Raymund sat in his chair looking at some documents, though his mind was somewhere else. Harper sat opposite him looking at the sales chart of Edric empires. Her face was blank as she looked at the chart.

" Our sales are increasing in number thanks to Audrey's constant advertisement of our product. She really does what she does best". Harper was answered with a pin drop silence. She looked up at her brother whose mind was still trying to figure out how Aaliyah knew Levi Thorne.

" What's on your mind?" Harper asked as she put the documents away. " Not what, who". When Harper heard this, she laughed. That made Raymund look at her with a questioning look.

" What's so funny?" Harper looked at her brother with a smirk on her face. " Just the fact that you're worried about her-"

" Of course I'm worried!" Raymund said as he stood up furiously. He began to pace around the cabin. " She knows Levi Thorne ! The vice president of one of the biggest companies in America and Europe"

Harper held up a hand to stop her brother from talking.

"And you think I'm not already annoyed by that?" Raymund opened his mouth to speak but was stopped by his sister once again. " I saw the way they interacted today. They don't seem like they're that close. I guarantee you she won't be a problem. We built her up to where she is today. We can easily bring her down".

"How?" Harper paused for a minute before taking out hr phone and dialing a number. " Who are you calling?" Raymund asked. Harper smirked before answering him, " A friend".

MEANWHILE;

Levi, Jordan and Aaliyah sat in one of Levi's private aeroplanes. Levi sat in another cabin as he was having a video conference and didn't want any disturbance. He also knew the girls needed some girl time and he didn't want to interfere.

Jordan and Aaliyah truly are having a talk. Aaliyah stared at Jordan who was covering her mouth with her palm. " So, Raymund is your brother in law who asked you to come back to Brooklyn because your little bro wants you?" Aaliyah nodded and Jordan frowned.

" And you believe him?" Jordan was beyond furious with Raymund and a little bit with Aaliyah because she was too gullible. How could she believe Raymund's words so easily?

" Jordi, I don't trust Raymund but I can't just ignore my brother. What if he's saying the truth and I decide to ignore him? Harris is the only family I have left" Jordan sighed after hearing Aaliyah's explanation.

" Fine, but I'll go with you-"

"No, you don't need to do that. I can handle them myself" Although, Jordan doubted Aaliyah's ability to handle the Edrics, she didn't say it. Afterall, it was her family matter.

" Alright, but if they dare to threaten or manipulate you, call me and I'll be there with a whole unit of cops " Aaliyah gently placed her hand on Jordan's and looked into her eyes.

" You can't do that. The Edrics have manipulated the cops before, they can do it again" Jordan frowned then sighed." Then what am I supposed to do?" She was worried about her best friend yet she couldn't do anything. It sucked.

" Don't worry about me, I can handle this. You just go to the hotel and wait for me, okay?" Jordan didn't reply. She simply hugged her best friend but Aaliyah gently pushed her away.

" Jordi, promise me you won't do anything or tell anyone else without running it by me first?" Jordan looked hesitant but Aaliyah urged her, " Promise me". After a while, Jordan nodded. She would do anything for Aaliyah.

But that didn't mean she wouldn't do some certain things for her safety all because she (Aaliyah) didn't want her to.
