Noah looked from the shadows at Bob’s uncle.

“I thought that his dad was coming” he said.

Ai appeared on thin air and looked indifferent at the scene.

“That shows you what kind of relationship those two have” Said Ai.

“So, what’s next?” Added Ai.

“The plan hasn’t change, now that Bob will be busy with his family issues, it will give me time to investigate a little about him and his family” Said Noah.

“And I happen to know the perfect guy who will help me with that” He said.

At the distance, a man with a suit was walking with an exhausted face.

“The chief of the construction” Said Ai.

Noah smiled and disappeared in the shadows.

…………………………………………….

Chief Emilio was exhausted.

He had been working in the construction field since he was young.

As years passed, the passion he felt in in youth vanished and make him realized that…

Despite how good one wanted to be, if you wanted to ascend and be someone, you must get your hands dirty.

He arrived at the construction site early in the morning, as the chief he had to give the example to the other and arrived the earliest.

“Example… huh?” Though Emilio.

He went to his office and turned on his computer.

As part of his routine, he went to the cafeteria and grabbed a cup of coffee from the coffee machine, although it wasn’t anything special, he couldn’t start his day without a coffee.

As the coffee passed thought his throat, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

“He also… liked this coffee” He murmured.

He didn’t have many friends, the few ´friends´ he had were bootlickers.

As far as Emilio was concerned, he only had one friend.

This one and truly friend.

Or well…

He used to have…

“Nathan…” He thought.

After the death of his Nathan, he could more or less get what happened and why he died.

“Oh buddy… why did you have to bring your wife to that party…”

The party for welcoming the new chief, Bob Styler, it was a protocol party, and everyone knew about that, but the execution chief was Bob Styler, the Styler family was one of the most powerful houses in America, if, by any chance, anyone could become friends with him, then their lives will change.

Emilio was one of this people, he bought a bottle of the best wine he could afford and went to the party.

The result was as expected, Bob Styler was an asshole in every sense.

He looked at everyone like he was looking at something filthy.

Everyone lost hope and just stayed in the party because they had to.

Everyone except someone.

“Nathan, you seem to be having the time of your life” Said Emilio.

“Of course I am, there is food everywhere and good wine, although I prefer beer”

“But above everything else…”

Nathan hugged the beautiful woman next to him who was also smiling.

“It’s been a while since I went out with my beautiful wife hehe” Said Nathan.

Emilio couldn’t only laugh at this stupid couple.

“He really does love his wife” Though Emilio.

However, just as the couple was celebrating, Emilio notice that someone else was looking at them.

Emilio looked at the end of the table and saw Chief Bob looking at Bob with a sinister smile.

Emilio didn’t know why but he felt a tremendous fear.

…………………………………………….

*Sigh*

Emilio took his coffee and took it in one go.

“Time to work” He said.

But just as he was turning towards his office, he felt a shaver on his back.

With the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow, looking at him, from the distance.

“WHO!?”

Emilio turned around but didn’t see anything.

“What was that…” Though Emilio.

He turned around and left the cafeteria as fast as he could.

Emilio put this incident at the back of his mind and focused on his work.

Or at least he tried to…

Along the day, he could feel the presence of… someone… looking at him.

But the worst part wasn’t that…

The worst part was that whatever that thing was…

It was getting closer and closer.

It was 7 p.m. when it was finally time for him to go home.

He quickly grabbed his things and went to out of his office, just as he was going out, someone knocked onto his office.

“Chief”

“Marco?”

“Chief, Chief executive Bob has told me that you have to stay a couple of hours more, he says that he has something to talk to you”

“What? He can’t do it tomorrow?”

“I don’t know sir, he says that is urgent”

“God damnit, okay, you can go now”

Marco nodded and went out of his office.

He turned towards the corned and walked towards the darkest part of the first floor.

His eyes turned red and talked to the darkness in front of him.

“Is done…” Said Marco in a zombie like state.

“Good, go now”

Marco nodded and went out his way.

A couple of red eyes appeared in the darkness and a sinister smile shone in the emptiness of the night.
