Chapter 25 Disappointment

• Ah, I get it now. That’s why he is so lost and ghostlike. Why care for her so much? I felt adrenaline rush through me as jealousy penetrated my heart, but I replied, pretending to seem unfazed, “Not that I know of, and frankly, I don’t give a shit. You’re better off getting another waitress than worrying about her.”
• “Un-fucking-believable,” he snarled, then shoved past me and disappeared to the manager's office. Fucking dick, as if I will tell him where Lau is right now. If it wasn't for him giving her a job, she'd still be dependent on me! Keres would never have fucking found her! Keres! I cursed to myself as I remembered the reason why I was here, then rushed to where he and his goons were waiting.
• "So glad you could finally join us, Michael," Keres greeted somewhat happily. I remained quiet with my head high, not giving the slightest fucks. I cowered in fear once, but not anymore. Once I sat down, I finally managed to get a look at the fucker as I glared at him defiantly. He seems calm; his face looks really... happy... too fucking happy. Either he is going to hurt me or he has finally gotten Laura, though if it's the latter, it won't last long.
