Joseph turned his indifferent eyes to Jeremy scrutinizing him as if he could read his thoughts. His cold eyes lingered on Jeremy for a second making the latter feel nervous. He scoffed and turned back to his sister.
Jeremy felt the cold and nervous sweat rolling down his back. He lifted his shaking hand and touched his back bringing it to his eyes.
"Mm" he groaned quietly. His shirt was heavily drenched with sweat.
His brow furrowed confused as he lowered his eyes hiding the fleeting glint.
When did Joseph accumulate that aura?
What is Josephina doing to him?
What is Joseph himself doing
Is it..?
"Jeremy" Winter shook him somewhat harshly.
She pursed her lips obviously still angry at him for lying to her.
He looked up reverting to his jovial expression in a second accurately hiding the look in his eyes.
Winter looked at him confused her eyes roamed his face checking for any abnormality. She finally opened her mouth " I don't know what you are thinking but my mom says we three should get to her office"
She said lightly and walked up to Joseph.
Jeremy followed her figure,his eyes filled with obscurity. He placed his finger in his chin and wondered.
Winter and Joseph seem to be arguing about something till she shook her head and walked out angrily mumbling some words he couldn't hear from his distance.
Joseph stood transfixed in his spot for a few seconds stunned mumbling some words that Jeremy heard but chose to ignore. He growled seeing Winter didn't care and teleported away after making sure her figure is completely gone.
With both of the gone he finally let loose.
Jeremy looked up and laughed his whole look changing. He suddenly remembered something.
"That idiot actually kissed her" Jeremy held a id in his hand looking down at it with a weird smile.
He had swiped the id off Winter when she came to tap him earlier.
The owner must be embarrassed to see it in his hands. But for sure that stinky brat will rather put on a cold face and walk away.
He smiled brightly,his eyes sparkling happily.
"I have to report this"
Jeremy stood straight and closed his eyes.
He opened them his iris had turned pink,quickly ,some of his hair turned pink.
"My..
....
"Am sorry sir but she really isn't available right now" The man with the glasses said replying to the person in the phone.
Some words came through making the glasses man expression distort.
"No sir am not"
The words came again, the glasses man twisted the phone hard.
"Crack"
The telephone cracked and the glasses man quickly took deep breaths trying to calm himself to relax his dangerous grip on the telephone.
The words came around again and the glasses man really lost it! He stood up glaring as if the person is in front of him pointing angrily at the invisible person.
"Well sir am not going to pass this message across!"
The words came again.
"Why! I would tell you why! Maybe because you keep insulting me or maybe because you keep threatening me!"
The words came again.
"Fuck you too!!"
The words came again now audible.
"You motherfucker! You*bleep* you*bleep* bleep* bleep* bleep* bleep*"
The glasses man face distorted his teeth grinding deeply against each other. His hair stood floating on their ends removing smoke. His nose flared removing thick blue smoke.
He couldn't listen to those words again nobody can or they would be scarred for life!
"I hope your country perish with no remains!!"
He told the president of the warring country and hung up the phone.
Jimmy really hates his job.
Having to wave through the busy office full of frustrated beings, receiving demanding calls from people in high places around the world. He knew deep down that the president of Nigeria and USA hate him to the bone and wouldn't hesitate to make him disappear if he ever showed his face around them.
Several of this kind of horrible things happen to him everyday with little hours to rest once in four days!
This isn't the most horrible thing about his job. His boss! The devil's wife herself, the wicked soul among wicked souls!the demoness!the..
"Sorry Jim but you are thinking too loudly and every one in the whole department can hear you"
One of his colleague popped up in his office and warned smiling. He waved and disappeared back.
Jimmy groaned dragging his hair.
'All those fucking hypocrites well fuck them!, Fuck them! I can curse whenever and whoever I wants'
"I swear! I swear I only need one opportunity and I will! I will kill all of you, all of you!"
Jimmy stuttered with tear threatening to spill from his eyes. He removed his glasses and wiped the tears with his tie.
"Waah!!" Jimmy banged his head continuously on the table crying loudly.
The employees outside"...."
"Why?!!" Jimmy yelled loudly.
"Am I cursed?!"
"Fuck everyone!!"
"Whoa! Don't worry am here for you Jimmy"
Jeremy said laughing,gently patting Jimmy on his shoulder.
Jimmy looked up through the tears and smiled at Jeremy.
"You..I remember you..you almost killed the ambassador for the CIA and I had to clean your mess by saying it was a mistake on my part.
I was tortured by that man in my dreams for months!"
Jimmy pushed Jeremy away and stood up fixing his wrinkled and snot filled suit.
"Young master Powers" Jimmy bowed.
Joseph nodded and asked in a weird voice.
"Where is my mother?"
"She is in a meeting right now and is very busy" Jimmy replied.
Joseph lifted his eyes away from him. He is disgusted with the look of Jimmy.
"But she said you should come in"
Jimmy blinked his puffy eyes and lightly excused himself. Most probably to clean up.
"Waah!!"
Joseph and Jeremy looked towards the door looking at the crying figure of Jimmy down going down the hallway.
Joseph coughed and tapped Jeremy
"Let's go Winter will meet us there"
He said and walked down to Josephina office down the hall.
Jeremy followed and they entered meeting someone already seated.
"Good morning Dean, good morning Mr Faust" Jeremy said bowing his head lightly.
Josephina nodded with a poker face while Faust smiled with a strange look on his face.
"Take a seat both of you"
Jeremy and Joseph sit down facing the other two.
"I called you here to say Jeremy you are replacing Faust as Spiritual bearings teacher"
Jeremy face fell. Replacing Faust? Although his subject is for first year it really isn't that important now she is promoting him to teach a very important class and also a new subject?!
"Dean..."
"You are very talented and is the very reason why we created this subject, I know you can handle it better"
Josephina words didn't sound like an encouragement. It sounded more like a warning! And a...
Threat!
"Yes dean" Jeremy replied lowering his head.
Faust smiled at him and stood up" well Josephina I have to go now"
Josephina looked up at him and nodded.
Faust bowed and left the room. Jeremy eyes caught his fist clenching by the side and knew his place in Powers school is now unstable.
"Why am I here?"
Joseph said looking more serious than when he was with Jeremy earlier.
"You will be punished for not protecting your sister properly"
Josephina said in a nonchalant tone that made Jeremy doubt if Joseph is her son.
Joseph still maintained the expression but Jeremy saw his fist had grabbed into his coat tightly his knuckles white from lack of blood.
"No he will not be" Winter walked inside.
She walked up to Josephina looking at her coldly that their aura made Jeremy shrink in his seat just hoping or perhaps praying he could disappear right now.
