Chapter14
Victor saw his reaction, backing up a little. “Alright, alright. Calm down, man, just asking.” But then his voice turned stern again. “If you aren’t going to do it, fine with me. But don’t you dare get in my way.”
Andy buried his face in hands, sobbing bitterly.
What the heck is going on? The situation is getting more complicated. They defiantly know each other, and they don’t look like friends. But not enemies, either. Let’s just say, they have a special relationship. Well, they are both Spanish, as far as I know. And they sure have something in common.
Helen knew something was not right, and she quickly cleared up the mess. “UH, I think Andy needs some privacy, Victor, let’s take a walk outside.” And she gave me a quick wink.
Victor looked back at Andy as he walked out the room. Andy sat back feebly. I got some soda from the lobby. But when I made my way back the hallway, Andy was gone. Nothing could explain this. So many unsolved mysteries began twirling in my head. My life is a question, the biggest question among all, and so many small bugs in it. Maybe I shouldn’t worry too much; I don’t even know what my life was all about, let alone other people.
Victor is heir to own Club Nova, and Andy is heir to own Club Flame, since his father owns it. And Club Nova is more famous, cooler, more luxury and better than Club Flame, of course. Maybe competitors do show up each other’s faults, by desperate. I still remember when he was desperate to keep me away from Club Nova. Things are making a lot more sense now.
I walked to the back yard, getting a little fresh air. The full moon hangs up in the sky like a mirror, reflecting every little thing that happened on earth.
I saw two dark figures on the long bench about 10 meters away from me, melting into each other. Gross, I hate people kissing in public spaces. Who is that anyway, seems familiar with me.
Wait a minute.
The whole world seemed to be crashing apart, falling onto me.
Oh my God.
Helen better not be seeing this.
