Annabel, Rose, David’s and Mike had already gone to see Mr. Evidence and now, they had gotten to the room. They weren’t allowed into the room where he laid unconscious with oxygen fixed on him and with drips. His body was fixed with a very big pack of drip and blood too. They only stood outside and stared at him through the transparent Mirror. When Annabel and David saw him lying helpless, struggling for his life, Annabel couldn’t hold the tears any longer as she allowed them to flow while Mike tried not to cry. He was acting to be a man. He tried his possible best by not letting those tears drop and he succeeded but it was obvious in his eyes that he was trying to hold those tears. His eyes suddenly turned red. Annabel noticed that but she pretended not to have noticed anything. Herself and David didn’t want to make Rose feel weak and hopeless. They just needed to be strong for her.
After some time, they all left and started walking outside. That was the moment David and Mike realized that Daniel wasn’t there yet as David asked.
“Where is Daniel? He isn’t here?”
“No, boss. I haven’t seen him for sometime now.” Mike replied.
“And why didn’t You call him to inform him about This?”
“Am sorry boss. Just that my boss warned me never to disclose this to anyone until he is dead and that was why I didn’t call anyone. It might have have been Miss Rose that had called you earlier. I’m sorry, boss warned me not to and i didn’t know why.” Mike said as he apologised and bowed, showing some sign of respect.
David took a deep sigh of relief as he creased his brows. He knew that Mike was only obeying his boss’s instruction and he wouldn’t blame Mike for his actions. He took a few steps forward before bringing out his phone to call Daniel.
He called Daniel’s line and at first, the call didn’t come through. He decided to try the second time and when he Did, this time, the call went through but Daniel wasn’t picking up. David wondered where Daniel had kept his phone as he decided to call once more. He called Daniel and this time around, the call was picked.
On the phone…
“Where did you keep your phone that you weren’t picking up?” David immediately asked the moment he saw that the call had been picked by someone as he asked again;
“Daniel, where are You?”
“Boss, I’m sorry. It’s me Jack. My boss is at a pool party and he instructed me to pick up any calls that come in.” Jack said.
David, hearing Jack speak, got Confused and didn’t know what to do at the moment. He didn’t want to disclose the news to Daniel’s body guard and on the other hand, he also didn’t want to distract Daniel from his Pool party.
As all these things ran through David’s mind, he decided to drop a simple but a clear message instead.
“Let him know that I called and also tell him I said he should call me as soon as he gets my message… Do you understand?” David asked.
“Yes Boss, I will definitely tell him that.” Jack replied and when he had noticed that David had ended the call, he kept back the phone on the table where Daniel’s items were placed under the protection of his bodyguards as Jack walked towards his standing position as he stood.
The pool where Daniel and Mara were, was luxurious. Daniel had carried Mara to one of the expensive and famous hotels as they swimmed together. Daniel paid for a particular spot where the swimming pool was located. He was with Just his dearest Mara and his bodyguards with no one else.
Inside the pool…
Daniel and Mara were inside the pool as they romantically discussed with each other.
“Hold my hand with your left hand and do whatever I say.” He instructed like a teacher as Mara nodded and did what he had instructed her to do. It was obvious that she was nervous but since Daniel was there, she feared a little.
Mara held his hand with her other hand as Daniel started to swim. Since Daniel had given her an instruction, she had no choice but to follow his lead. Moving her hands and legs just the way Daniel was moving his. He was teaching her how to swim. It was fun and Mara enjoyed it.
“Is this easy?” She asked with an astonished look as she looked at Daniel and smiled, waiting for a reply.
“Should I leave You?” He asked with a husky voice, giving her a crazy look as he held himself from laughing. He knew she would be scared if he left her hand. He was so sure that she was nervous but he just needed to taunt her a little.
Daniel, still holding her hand as they continued to swim, asked again.
“Should I leave you now?” He asked as he smirked, raising one side of his brows with a cute smile on his face but she also didn’t give him a reply.
“I’m leaving you now…” Mara didn’t allow him to finish his statement as she interrupted his words with a loud shout that was filled with fear. She screamed and held Daniel’s hand so tightly without giving any sign that she was going to leave his hand soon.
“No! No! No! No! Don’t leave me.” She cried out and begged. Meanwhile, Daniel couldn’t hold his laugh any more, he just burst into laughter before he replied to her. He started to laugh like a crazy man. Mara was so funny that even Daniel’s body guards also tried to laugh but they wouldn’t dare to. They just held their laugh and forced it back into wherever it came from.
“Hahahahahahahahaha.” He laughed. “Someone is scared already huh? I thought you felt it was easy so why are you being scared now? It isn’t easy any more? Hehehehehe.” He said and continued to laugh.
They stopped swimming as Daniel took her to the edge of the pool and made her sit down, making her too deep just her leg into the water while he stayed inside the water and stood in between her leg as he placed his arms on her smooth skin.
As Mara was seated, she realized how scared she was when he told her he wanted to leave her as she couldn’t stop laughing at herself. The scene kept popping in and out of her head as she wondered if she was this scared based on how she had reacted.
“I didn’t say it was easy, baby. I only asked if it was this easy but I didn’t ask you to leave me so soon! You scared me.”
“Hahahahaha, I’m sorry baby okay? I’m so sorry and I promise never to scare you any more. I promise.” He apologised, keeping his face like a baby with his both hands holding his ears as he kept apologising.
Mara saw how he kept his face and that really made him look like a baby. His face looked so funny as Mara started to laugh at him.
“Why are you keeping your face like that?” She asked.
“Because you’re mad at me and I want you to forgive me baby. I’m sorry.” He apologised again.
“Hahahahaha. I’m not mad at you baby. So, don’t feel sad. Okay?” She said as she caressed his head, making her fingers run through his long, curly and beautiful hair.
Daniel noticed that Mara was beginning to shiver and he was convinced that she was starting to catch a cold as he said;
“Thank you for not being angry at me, baby. Oh my God! You are catching a cold. I’m sorry for making you stay too long inside the water.” He said as he quickly came out of the pool and immediately took Mara out of the water. He held her hand as he led her towards the place where he had hung the towel and then he immediately wrapped it all over her body before ordering guards to bring his things to his room as he walked together with Mara, heading towards the hotel room while his guards took his belongings and followed after him.
Meanwhile, at Evidence Condom Limited, none of the staff had known what was happening. Work was still going on as customers were coming in and out to patronize them or to do something else. They hadn’t noticed Mr. Evidence’s absence yet because they felt he had gone to visit other branches of his Condom Company.
