Chapter 55 - Detective Neil (1/2)

I never liked my business trips. They only bore me and make me tired. But this time, I'm being impatient for a different reason. Staying so far away from Stella makes me feel so lonely. Yeah I know I can call her, I can video chat with her but communicating through this mechanical bearer, does not give you the full satisfaction.

Just like yesterday, I was attending the meeting. I had a little lunch time break so I called on Stella's phone. Sadly she didn't picked it up. Maybe she's doing work or busy some where else. My free time was over soon and I had to continue the meeting. Few minutes later I received a text on my phone. It was on vibration mode so, I opened to see who had sent it. The message was from Stella.

* I'm sorry I couldn't pick your call. Are you free now?*

I quickly typed the reply and send it to her. It's better to let her know or else she'll be thinking about this.

* It's fine. I'm in meeting I'll call you later* As soon I hit the send buŧŧon, another reply came from her.

* Ok*

When my meeting finished, it was around the evening time. I can finally call Stella and have a good chat. I was about to call her but someone else had called me which was from Neil.

” What's up Neil?”

”Bro, listen, I'm following my sister right now and she's with Ray.” Every time I hear the name Ray it makes my body itch. But I have decided that I'm not gonna be jealous or act stupid.

” Okay? Umm why are following them?”

” You are asking me this? Didn't you guys had a fight because of Ray? Besides I'm rooting for you now so, I won't let Ray do anything fishy.” When Neil was staying at my house I had told him everything that has happened with me and Stella. Surprisingly Neil knew Ray liked his sister.

Every time Ray tried to take Stella on a date she would call her friends or take Neil with her. She always thought that it was a friendly gathering. Ray never had the balls to confess his feelings to Stella and that's why he never got the chance. He thought he will ruin his friendship with her.

” That's great. You can just go there and tag along with them.”

” Hell no! I'm not gonna meet with that moron.”

” Seriously Neil? You too? You guys are way older than your behaviour. Just talk to your sis and sort it out.” I pleaded him to stop being a kid.

” I'll do it some other time. Right now, I'm just gonna keep an eye on them till something happens. Jeez! I can't believe Ray is still trying so hard to gain my sister's affection. There's no way my sis will love him.”

”Let him do what he wants. I don't even care.”

” Yeah. Anyway I'm sure my sis won't ever think of him more than her friend. I mean they knew each other for such a long time but still he couldn't change their relationship.”

” I also think that. No matter what scheme he will play, I won't let it bother me.”

” Exactly! I mean he had all this time to meet up with my sister but he specifically chose this time when you are out. Besides if it was for the sake of the friendly gathering, he could have called everyone too.”

” Good thing is you're there. Make sure nothing bad happens.”

” Don't worry brother-in-law. I'm here to help you, so just chill.” It made chuckle when he called me 'brother-in-law'.
