Chapter 236 - Mastermind (1/2)

The rest of the work day finished up without a hitch, leaving Laz, Benny, Eddy and Abraham waiting on the street for Madison, Steph, Angie and Julia to finish up. As the girls were leaving the building, Chad was visible escorting the ladies out. If one looked at the girls faces, they could see that while Madison seemed happy with the attention, Steph looked lackl.u.s.ter, Angie looked neutral and Julia looked like she was barely holding back the need to punch him in the face. For the most part, it seemed like she had to remind herself several times that he was her boss and she couldn't do that.

Seeing the guys waiting for the girls, Chad said a few nice words of greeting to Laz's group as well before he turned away to go inside. Although Laz wasn't trying to pay attention to him, he noticed that Chad had smirked as he turned around, obviously happy about something. In Laz's view, the guy was just a clown and he wasn't going to take him seriously. Still, though, the man gave Laz a bad feeling.

”Finally...” Julia was the first one to commit on him taking off, appreciating for the first time Laz and the other guys acting as a deterrent.

”I don't know what your problem is. Chad is a real gentleman and was just trying to be friendly,” Madison commented back.

”If that's what you want to believe, I won't stop you. But when he uses you and dumps you, that's your problem and I don't want to hear about it,” Julia responded back in a huff.

”Hey! Now look here...” Madison was about to fly off at her.

”Alright. Alright. That's enough for now. Ok? Let's go figure out what we are doing for the rest of the day or if we just want to relax at home, ok?” Angie said, interjecting.

”You don't think Chad is like that, do you?” Madison put Angie on the spot.

”Sigh...” Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click for visiting.

”Alright. Enough. Let's go. Dudes a d.i.c.k and that's all there is to it,” Steph commented before walking forward at a face pace. She grabbed a hold of Abraham and took off while speaking to him about something quietly.

”What's this now?” Laz didn't realize they were so close.

”No clue. But those two hung out a bit yesterday while you were... at that place and now she seems to have warmed up to him. Well, kinda...” Benny commented while looking at the two whispering and laughing to themselves.

”Kinda?” Laz asked.

”Kind of like she found a little brother and is going to take advantage of him,” Eddy finished up while laughing, causing Angie and Benny to laugh a little as well. Julia was still fuming, the same as Madison, so neither of them were in the mood to laugh.

”What do you think?” Madison directed the question at Laz.

”I mean... there is something to be said for brother and sister play... I'm just not sure which one of them will end up getting stuck in the dryer...?” Laz just answered with the first thing that came to mind, not really paying attention to what he said while looking at the two. Strangely enough, it was Julia who burst out laughing first, followed by Benny and Eddy while Angie and Madison looked confused.

Even though she had no idea what he meant, Madison did realize that Laz had understood her wrong.

”I mean, what do you think about Chad?” Madison decided to be more specific.

”Spoiled rich kid who is used to getting everything he ever wanted. And once he gets it, he doesn't want it anymore,” Laz replied with his honest thoughts.

”You're just jealous cause even if you're better looking than him, he's rich.” Madison jumped at the chance to defend this guy she just met to Laz who she had just known for a few days.

”Correction,” Laz added. ”His parents are rich and he's just sponging off of them. Now if he makes some money and buys a place himself, then bravo. But until then, he's just the same as other people I've met. And none of them were good people.” Laz decided he was done talking and started walking in the direction of the apartment. Seeing that Laz wasn't going to talk any more, Madison eyed the rest of the group to see if anyone was willing to talk about their new boss, only to find that they were all starting to catch up with Laz, leaving her alone.

She had no choice to but to catch up.

...

Back at the crab shack, Chad was sitting alone in the upstairs office while tapping his fingers in thought and looking at some paperwork. He had several different employee files pulled out and set aside, including every one in Laz's group.

”If I can't get enough, I will just have to add these people in. At least they are a big group who is only in contact with each other. As long as every one of them goes missing, no one will know for a while,” Chad said to himself before grabbing his cell phone.

He dialed a strange number, one that didn't follow any known area and number code for the US before waiting while it rang on the other end.

Soon enough, a person picked up.

”Pure blood only!” Said the voice at the other end.

”Pure blood forever,” was Chad's reply back.

”What news? And we need more bodies. You're behind on your numbers.” The voice on the other end of the line was masked and distorted. It seriously could have been coming from a man or a woman. There was no way to tell.

It always freaked Chad out and today was no different.

”I'm uh... having a hard time filling master's wishes. There aren't a lot of travelers just yet and I can't just make people appear out of thin air....” Chad tried to explain.

”I'm not interested in excuses. Most of the others have been keeping up with the requirements. However you and a few others seem to be lagging behind. This is not what was agreed upon,” the distorted voice responded back, obviously not caring for Chad's excuses.
