Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1915

Wilbur let Ralph into his car and drove to Greensource Corp. Barney called right after they had parked.

"Have you brought him?"

"I have. We've just arrived. Just give me a minute."

"Alright. I'll be waiting."

The call ended, and Wilbur took the elevator up to the balcony with Ralph.

Ralph's expression was icy. "I'm here now, Barney. Just say whatever you want to."

Barney smirked coldly. "I didn't think you would've stooped this low, Mister Ralph. We used to be powerful colleagues, but now we're at Wilbur Penn's mercy."

Ralph shouted, "That's enough, Barney! Stop bringing up the past and just tell me what you want from me!"

Barney lit himself a cigarette. "There's something you know I care about deeply, and I'd like an answer from you."

"It's been ten years, and you still haven't let it go yet!" Ralph exclaimed.

Barney shrugged. "There are some things you'll never be able to let go of. You should know that better than me, Mister Ralph."

Ralph said, "I'm not the man I used to be, Barney. I wouldn't dwell on the past too much if I were you. The answer you're after might not be what you think it is. In fact, it might be much, much worse than you imagine."

"What are you trying to say?" Barney frowned at Ralph.

"Hang on!"

Wilbur scrambled to stop the conversation. "I've brought Ralph to you, Mister Barney. Where's Demetra? Shouldn't you let him go, as per our agreement?"

The two men reached the stairwell, and Wilbur briefly told Demetra about what happened. Demetra's eyes widened in shock before his expressions twisted and David said, "Mister Penn, would we be considered good friends?"

"Of course."

"Well, could you give me that purple potion? I really need it."

"Yes."

Wilbur gave the tube of purple potion to David, just as a gunshot rang out from the balcony. Wilbur rushed up to see Barney collapsed on the ground. There was blood pooled around his head, and he had a gun in his hand.

"Barney! What…"

Wilbur stared before him in disbelief. "What's going on here, Ralph? Why did Barney kill himself?"
