The Story Of Blood And Roses
/ The Story of Blood and Roses Chapter 104
The phone rang again and I reached out to pick it up as Anthony had instructed me to . I held the phone to my ears to check to was speaking and then put the phone on the loudspeaker .
"Anthony, I hear you have news for me . " Clearly, Nolan had been sent out of the scene because of his rash decision to ignore Anthony's request to have a chat with Luke .
"Mr . Darcy, thank you for calling back . My name is Mia . It was me who tried to contact you earlier . " I heard Darcy huff in frustration as he heard my voice . He had wanted to have a private conversation with Anthony from what I gathered . He had to do some serious grovelling if he wanted to dodge the consequences of his stealing from Anthony .
"Is he anywhere close to where you are?" Irritation laced his voice .
"Of course, sir . But he is extremely angry because of how your assistant has treated him . " I imagined myself getting an Oscar for acting so professional when all I wanted to do was reach back and pat myself for keeping the smugness out of my voice .
Childish, yes, but I was speaking to Luke . In my final year at the academy, we were asked to write thesis papers on the man, I had written my paper on him . The man was a legend, having a reputation of doing away with anyone who got into his way . I was speaking to him, and I held a position of authority in the conversation .
As irritated as he would grow of my interruptions, he would have to bear me and hope that he doesn't disrespect me . On the other hand, we would sincerely hope that I can get on his nerves and make him have an outburst which we could then use against him to ambush him . A confession made in a moment of fashion was truer than that when tortured out of a person . Everyone knew that . Anger made people speak more truth than inflicting pain could ever do .
"Would you kindly mention to the boy that I am extremely sorry for the incompetence my staff has shown . " His voice sounded more like a command than it did a request, so I chose to ignore it .
"I have been led to believe that you have reason enough to be ignoring Anthony at such a crucial time . Mr . Murray suspects that your employees are not incompetent but highly efficient in following your orders, sir . " With an extreme sense of joy, I turned to Anthony for approval . He gave me a thumbs-up and then typed into my cell phone . He was fast with his typing and I smiled when I read what was written .
Put forward all the prove me have .
I nodded at him and then went back to concentrating on the phone . The line had grown silent, but it was clear that there was someone else breathing into the line . I could hear the whirring sound of a machine—possibly a computer, in the background . He was there all right, thinking over things or waiting for me to say something . He might have known that this was an orchestrated conversation where he would only be led where we wanted him to .
"Do you have something to say to defend this suspicion, sir?" I managed the politest tone I could muster up .
"What am I being accused of?" I heard slow laughter in the background which I knew had come from Luke Darcy . He had moved away from the cell-phone and was possibly making himself comfortable in a chair .
"Sure, sir," I cleared my throat as if to indicate that I was reading off of a paper which had recounted all the offences that Luke had committed against Anthony . "Firstly, you sent in Nolan as a spy who would get information from us through the business deal that he had secured . Secondly, you asked him to involve Cienna who is not connected to the illegal side of the business at all . And thirdly, you murdered Joe after achieving the information that he had managed to extract from my colleague . "
"And these are my offences?" he laughed . I had not mentioned that it was the best of his offences .
