On my way to the company. I am still shocked about what went on at the lawyer's office. I didn't see that coming. I thought he hated me, since I was a child he never looked at me twice. All I knew was simply blood to him nothing more. Maybe because I was blood, he left it all to me, after all, I am his legacy, his heir. But still why everything?.
Knock, knock sounds on my car window.
"This is not a place to sleep, it is the road. If you have nothing to do, let me tell you that I do. Move!!! your car now", said the angry man.
I spaced out at the robots. He is so rude, I am sure he will make a great husband for Kate. A perfect couple.
I sat on a chair my loosening up my tie, ready to go straight to my work to avoid all that is going in my mind.
"Mr. Blake, here are the files you asked for"
"Is there anything else you want?"
"Some coffee will be great, please make it strong, Gary" he is my personal assistant.
"There will be no need to check up on me later, I will stay in for the night, you can go home when you are done"
After what happened, I am not ready to face them. I will stay in and deal with everyone tomorrow. Hopefully, they won't come here in the middle of the night but they will surely be angry that I didn't do what I was told and come home.
Beep, beep. That is my phone. I sighed, thinking it was Sarah or her daughter. My mind is debating whether to answer or not. It is only 8 pm, they can't be expecting me at this time and yeah, I was told to be home early.
It is Park. I am supposed to meet him tomorrow, I hope he is not rescheduling.
"Blake, I am on my way to your house. I will be there in 30 mins".
"Why"
"Don't you want to see me"
"It's not what I meant, it is not tomorrow yet"
"Can't I see you when I want to, Blake? And though I was important, sad me"
"You can just come to my office, I am not going home tonight"
"I will bring dinner then, see you"
It's been a while since I have seen him. With work it is hard to meet each other, especially by his side, he doesn't work in one place. He travels a lot.
Even though we are far from each other, we are closer than ever through the internet.
That phone call minimized all the chaos going in my mind, it is a breather. I hope his being around will lessen my stress and brighten up my mood. He is very chocky, so that is a definite yes.
I got a call from the security, who let me know if Park's arrivals. My being got excited to see him.
"Blake, I hope pizza will do"
There he was tall and good-looking. "Normal people knock and wait to be allowed in"
"I am not normal then," he said that with silly laughter.
"You not lying"
We broke every formality of normal greetings and we started to serve the food. I didn't realize that I was this hungry.
"Sorry for not coming to your fathers funeral, if I liked him I would have come but sadly I didn't like him"
"Are you for real"
"As ever, I find him extremely annoying"
"Just eat your food and that annoying person left everything to me, I am the owner of this company now and every property he owned"
"As odd as it is. I am happy for you. But ain't you worried about the demons?"
"Sarah is expecting me tonight to talk about it"
"And you are here?. Blake the brave," he said that laughing. He knows how they are.
"Since I am here, you can tell me the reason you badly needed me here for"
"Clean up first, you are the one who came with the food"
"little ungrateful Blake" he did it anyway, rolling this eyes.
"I am all ears"
"Sarah and Aj are in a relationship and have been for a while now," I said that while showing him the pictures I took at Aj's apartment.
"..."
"He said it is love"
"By the pictures, it shows they have been together for more than a year"
"Your father is dead now. Simply cut them out of your life"
"The thing is since the father was supposed to be with Sarah that night but instead he ended up dead. It is odd that Sarah would cancel out on going to a world-class event. She lives for those events. By this and the relationship and coldness of Aj. I suspect them of the murder of my father."
"..."
"For some reason, I see sense in my suspicions and I need your help with it"
"I know I am putting you in an awkward position, knowing that you are also a friend of Aj. But I truly need your help, Park"
"Both of us, we not fans of that man but what happened to him was not OK. He was cruel, towards me especially but he was no killer, he didn't deserve that", I added.
"I will most definitely help you but I will need to have a word with Park," he said.
"Thanks" that is all I can say now I have fewer worries.
"Blake, where will you sleep, you only have a sofa here"
"I wasn't planning to, I was going to work until morning, maybe"
"Since I am here now, follow me to my hotel. I believe you need a rest to prepare yourself for your doom, tomorrow will come and they are waiting for you" he said, all that while laughing. He has time to laugh while I want time to stop.
I agreed and went to his hotel with him. He is right, a rest will do me wonders.
The morning did come and I took my own time with my morning routine. Trying to think of many ways to get me from not going home. I even ask Park but he was all excited to see the family drama that will happen. He kept on trying to get me there faster and even offered to dress me because I was too slow.
I even said, with his father being dramatic all the time, I don't get why he was excited. Such things should annoy him. He said his father is full of drama but he is a good person but my family are descendants of a devil so that is a different kind of drama, he just can't wait to see it, it been a long time.
"You have been sighting for like 50 times now, let get inside already"
"I am here with you, stop worrying and get this over with it" he said.
He screamed as he opens the door because I just stood there unmoved and pushed me inside.
"Hello, we are home," he said.
"Who are you?" Tina said.
"Who are you?" Park replied.
"I should be asking that because you are the stranger," said Tina.
"A stranger to you and is that a proper way of greeting a guest?" That Park, being Park.
"Is that how a guest acts"
Yes, especially this one" I said.
"Park"
That was Aj. What is he doing here? The way he annoys me and it is hard to believe that we were once friends.
"What are you doing here," said Aj to Park.
"Ask yourself that and I would like a reply to that," I said.
"She is here so I am here too" he replied.
"The world didn't run out of places to meet each other, why here?"
"Why shouldn't we meet here, are we getting kicked out, Blake" that was Sarah.
"This is my father's house and I find this unappropriated. I won't accept it"
"Your house, Blake." Park
