Crash-landed On An Island With Nine Beauties novel Chapter 185

Elisa stepped out of the elevator but was unwilling to take further steps which would lead her to her office. It was no lie that she had so many things that she wanted explained. But also, she knew that this was business, she didn't really want to lose her job even though a mob had come for her.

But it was also disturbing, and scary to think that Damien was not on her side. He had changed so suddenly. She should be the one fuming but Damien was doing it all. She didn't know what to feel exactly. Appreciation or Sadness.

Her phone chimed and she looked. It was a message from MY BRIGHTNESS. She quickly clicked it opened.

FOR EVERY SECOND LOST, BE SURE YOU CAN TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY.

"That jerk."

She cussed, gritting her teeth.

"Is that all I meant to him? So what if he wanted to buy me a car? After all, he didn't end up buying it. Shouldn't he be with me right now if he cares?"

Her face was tough and a dark line drawn by rage raced the corners of her face. She typed...

FUCKING ASSHOLE, IT'S OVER BETWEEN US.

She looked away then shook her head. That didn't seem like the right thing to do. She cleared what she had typed and retyped.

GO FUCK YOURSELF.

She had her finger hovering over the send icon. Then her finger pushed an icon. Her eyes widened.

"Oh shit... no, no..."

SAVED.

The device beeped.

"Oh thank God. That was so close."

Even though she was mad and sad, she knew to what extent she could push her rage and luck. She couldn't go about being rude to the owner of company she was working in.

Though there had been a spark of romance, yet she knew when to draw the margin.

"Asshole."

She cussed and kept on walking, towards her office.

Inside the apartment of the nine girls, there was a defeaning silence which swept across the room, from one corner to the other.

The nine girls were seated in the couches, some standing and some not sure of what position to take. It was as though they were told to give a minute of silence to a deceased.

"What did he say? Did he give you an update yet?"

Tendzel was always the first to pick the discourse. She was staring hungrily at Lisa. Not because she wanted to devour Lisa, but --

"Though I can't prove it but he said that there are so many people at the gate of the estate."

"Protesters you mean?"

Lisa nodded to the question.

"But how can we be sure that he is saying the truth? We can't say for sure what is happening outside. We are not even allowed to visit the estates."

"Yes, Evelyn is right. Did he send you some sort of proof?"

Almost all the girls were eager. Even those who pretended not to be interested were beginning to show interest. They all knew that if anything go wrong, they would all have to pay for it. Not because they would be forced to, but the bond which tied them wouldn't make them sit still while one or few of them was going through an ordeal.

Lisa looked like she was trying all she could to avoid the question which was being asked.

"Lisa?"

Mira decided to make the impatience of the rest known.

"Yea... this is it... the proof. He just sent it."

Lisa called. Her phone had just beeped and pictures were sent. The girls scurried to her. They were so interested.

"Woah... how interesting."

"Damn, they are so many."

"Who could think that so many people would take it so seriously?"

"I must confess that this is really beyond the ordinary."

"What do you mean? What do you think? That no one is interested in Boldyville?"

"No, you dummy. Stop putting words in my mouth. What I meant was that..."

Mira pointed at the people in the picture.

"Look at this. What do you notice? There are majority of teens here. What do they need Boldyville for? Don't you think something looks fishy. Shady I mean."

Allison noticed the reaction of Lisa when Mira pointed that out.

"By any means, you are not hiding anything from us, Lisa. Are you?"

That was enough to push the attention of the rest of the girls to Lisa.
