Chapter 23 - Murder in the office

  Her heart skipped a beat, "What?"

He clenched his fists, "What do you have to say about this?"

She creased her brows, "He called you?" Her eyes widened, "Who is he? What did he say his name was?"

Jimmy's jaws slacked, "Are you asking me?"

Her face reddened with embarrassment, "What am I supposed to do then?"

He ran a hand through his hair, "Damn it! Where did you even meet that guy?! He's so f**king rude!"

   She blinked, "Wh- what did he say?"

"He told me not to claim the baby as his own. How did he even know I am your husband? Have you been snitching on me to others?"

  She creased her brows, "Look here! I am as clueless as you are! You are the all powerful Mr. Robinwood, why don't you find out who this strange guy is?"

Jimmy groaned, "I can't.."

She frowned, "What? Why?"

"It was a private number.."

"You're Jimmy Robinwood! Why can't you track down a private number."

"That doesn't mean anything. I'm not as powerful as you think I am.. I'm rich, yes, not powerful."

She raised her brows, "Really?"

He ran a hand through his warm brown hair, "F**k it!" His brown eyes diluted.

She sucked her teeth, "Guess there's no hope of ever knowing him," she muttetered, devasted.

He kept pacing back and forth, thinking about the words of the strange guy.

His eyes lit up with an idea, "Where did you say you met him?"

"My office?"

"We are going there tonight," he told her with a sly grin.

Her heart raced, "Going there?"

"Or don't you wanna see your one nightstand anymore?" He smirked.

"He's not a one nightstand!"

He grimaced, "Obviously he's not, you don't know his name, do you baby doll?"

She stamped her left foot in frustration, "Damn it!"

"No need to swear or curse mi lady, we are going there tonight, and that's final."

She had a bad feeling about this, and she so didn't want to go anymore. Did she want to see him again? Yes, she did, very much but she just couldn't shake off this bad feeling that came with it."

"Oh dear God, what am I going to do?" She clasped her hands in despair.

Jimmy's car stopped right in front of Nora's office.

"We're there," he said coldly.

She gulped, and nodded, "Okay," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Let's go then, we have to wait and see if he's gonna come around tonight," he furrowed his brows, and walked ahead of her to the entrance.

"Are you coming or not?" He yelled, and she ran to meet him.

"Come on, open it," he ordered, and she concurred.

She used her employee card to get past the door, and he followed her into the building.

Taking the elevator, they both went to the tenth floor.

"Is this where his office is located?"

"Yes," came the dry reply.

"Hmm," he nodded, and walked straight ahead, "Well, where is it?"

She rolled her eyes, and showed him the office, "There it is."

He walked towards it briskly, and tried opening the door.

"Jeez, are you daft? How the f**k do you think you'd be able to get access to the CEO's office?!" She half yelled at him.

He shrugged, "I don't know, I just tried."

She held her head, "Dear God, please don't let him be the death of me one day," she mumbled.

"Well can't you open it? You f**ked him here."

"Am I the CEO's wife now? Besides, I don't even know if he's the CEO or something, I still wonder how he got an access to the office."

"Oh for f**k's sake! What are we supposed to do now?"

"Wait?"

He sighed, "You're right. Once he comes, I'd just finish him off, and get this thing over with."

"You want to kill him?!"

"Yes.."

"You want to kill the CEO?" Another voice added.

Nora froze in shock. Another colleague in the office? What did he come here for? She slowly turned around, and to her dismay it was Joseph!

Jimmy blinked his eyes, and turned to face Nora, "You said we were the only ones who would be here!"

"How was I supposed to know that someone else would be here?!"

Joseph tuned to look at Nora, "I knew it.. you have always been a very evil person. I knew this deep down but no one believed me. They all thought I hated you for no reason. Today, I'm going to make sure everyone knows about this!"

Nora fell to her knees, "Joseph, it's not what you're thinking at all! Hear me out!"

"Yes, it's not what you're thinking," Jimmy chipped in sarcastically.

Nora whipped her head in his direction, "You're making this worse!"

"Whatever, he has to go first then," he pulled out his Model 460XVR revolver.

Nora screamed. Flashes of her best friend came back running into her head, "Jimmy no!"

Joseph took steps backwards, "Wh.. do you want to kill me too?"

"I'm sorry man, you have to go," he sighed. He pulled the trigger, and released two bullets into his forehead, another two bullets in his chest, and shot his legs. Blood spluttered all over the place, and some of it splashed on Nora's hand.

She screamed louder, and Jimmy had to stop her mouth, "Just shut up! It seems he didn't come today. Mission failed."

Nora broke down in sobs, "What have you done? Why did you kill him? We were not going to kill him!" She yelled at him.

He gritted his teeth, "Just shut the f**k up! Let's go bury his body somewhere!"

"No! I'm not doing anything with you!"

"Oh for f**k's sake!"

"Why did you have to murder him?"

"Mrs. Goody pants, make sure the police doesn't hear about this, or it would be worse for you," he said in a grim voice, and forced her to her feet.

"Now stop crying!" He yelled, and she covered her mouth, shaking like a leaf.

He carried Joseph's body, and went ahead to bury it somewhere in the compound. He forced Nora, to follow him to the where the security footages where, and deleted all that has happened.

"Now, let's get out of here."
