Riven’s POV:
“No, this project is father’s dream. Only you can tackle this deal. Amongst all of us, father only trusts you with this project. I will go and protect our mate and our brother. I have a strong feeling that something terribly wrong is going to happen and it includes our very old enemies” was my serious reply, which widened their eyes.
“WHAT?” Kevin asked in astonishment.
“WHO?” Caleb added with similar expressions.
“My dear brothers, I will tell you everything once the time is right. Right now, I don’t have the luxury of time”, I replied in a worried tone.
“Okay, but before going there. Just meet Mr. Kim and inform him that you won’t be able to attend this meeting due to an emergency. If you just go like this, they will find it rude. Everyone knows about the fight between Erica and Henna in the club”, Kevin said in a serious tone.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw Caleb’s eye roll and I knew it was for Erica. I don’t know why he hates Erica so much.
“Alright. I will do that” I replied in an understanding tone, rather than arguing.
Caleb’s expression completely changed and worry took over his handsome face.
“Don’t worry, Caleb. I will take care of everything. Nothing will happen to Giselle or Stefan”, I said in a reassuring tone while patting his shoulders.
“I am really scared, bro. Will they be alright?” Caleb asked worriedly.
“Yeah, they will be. I will bring them back” I replied, smiling.
“I trust you, bro. You saved me once and brought me back from death. I know you will protect Giselle and Stefan too”, Caleb said with a small smile.
“For that, I need to leave right now. I will just greet this Mr. Kim and leave right away” I replied plainly.
“Okay, brother, thank you” Caleb said, smiling.
“No need to thank me, Caleb. I am just protecting my mate and my brother”. I patted his shoulder.
“Let’s go to the waiting room where Mr. Kim and his family members are waiting”, Kevin interrupted us.
Without saying another word, we went towards the waiting room to meet Mr. Kim.
But the moment Kevin opened the door of the waiting room, our eyes widened in shock.
There was no one in the room.
“Where did Mr. Kim go?” I asked. I was beyond taken aback when my eyes fell on the empty room.
“I don’t know. He was waiting for us. He came before time for this meeting”, Kevin replied confusedly.
“I found it really strange the moment he came before time. Wait, I will call my assistant”, I said while removing my cell phone from my pocket.
I called my assistant, Mr. Posey, who came running towards the meeting room.
“Sir, you called me?” Mr. Posey asked obediently.
“You were in charge of this meeting, right? Where is Mr. Kim then?” I asked in a demanding tone.
“He was here when I left, sir. I asked one of our boys to give him some tea and snacks. I left only when he said he is comfortable” Mr. Posey stuttered while speaking when my icy glare fell on him.
Thankfully, the boy who served them was passing by.
“Sir, I was just coming to your office” The boy glanced at Kevin and spoke.
“Why? What happened?” Kevin asked casually.
“Where is Mr. Kim?” I couldn’t help but ask hurriedly.
“That’s why I was coming to your office. Mr. Kim left with his family. He said his work here has been done and he will meet you directly at the main plot next time”, the boy informed.
“Main plot?” Kevin asked in a confused tone.
My doubts have been resolved! What I was thinking was true!
“Shit! Shit! Shit! No!” I punched the glass door in front of us and it shattered into a million pieces.
Mr. Posey and the young boy jumped back.
“Riven, what are you doing?” Kevin held my hand and pushed me behind before I could destroy everything in the office.
“We need to leave, Kevin!” I said, holding both of his shoulders tightly.
“Leave? Where?” Kevin asked in confusion.
Did he forget his brains at the lake house today?
“To Stefan! At first, I was doubtful, I only had a feeling something was terribly wrong, but now, I am confirmed! They are in grave danger. Let’s leave before we lose everything!” I said, my voice was a perfect mixture of fear and anger.
“Grave danger? Speak clearly, Riven. I think it’s the right time”, Kevin replied in a serious tone.
“Brother, you are scaring all of us!” Caleb added with frightened expressions.
“Everyone, leave. I need to talk to my brothers”, I commanded, and my assistant and the boy left immediately.
Once they were out of sight, I walked inside the nearby office, and Kevin and Caleb followed me. Once they were inside, Caleb closed the door.
“Don’t you get it! We are under attack! Their main target is Giselle and Stefan this time!” I informed them in a concerned tone.
“What? What are you saying? Who’s main target? Who is attacking us?” Kevin asked in a curious tone.
“FOXES!”
