Chapter 398: They Are Going To Talk

"So, have you heard anything from the disappearance of Mr. Russell?" Bruce asked Xander whose attention was completely somewhere.

Bruce noticed it but didn’t bother himself with it.

"His family’s private investigator is working on the case, but they still can’t find him," Xander replied, sipping from the coffee he’d ordered earlier. The coffee tasted bitter, making him frown in disgust. He poured some spoons of sugar into it but it didn’t make much of a difference.

He gently pushed it away from him, already ded up with it.

"It’s been almost a week and still nothing?" Bruce asked.

"That’s right. According to his employees, he usually leaves work early on weekends and goes to the bar. But nothing was found out when the investigator went to the bar. He just disappeared," Xander finished.

"Impossible. No one disappears just like that. He’s probably been captured by an enemy," Bruce said, his tone sharp with frustration. He was about to continue, but his words faltered when he noticed Xander glancing to his left—his eyes fixed on Samantha and Benjamin, who were deep in conversation, getting to know each other.

Bruce smirked, leaning back in his chair. "You know, if you keep staring at their table like that, I’m going to start thinking you want to replace Samantha and have a chat with Benjamin yourself."

Xander’s gaze hardened.

He didn’t want to replace Samantha. He wanted to drag her out of that seat and have her sit by his side instead.

Looking at her talk with some stranger made his blood boil and the sight of Benjamin made him want to hold him by the neck until he’d taken his last breath.

He was all smiling with Samantha as if she was some photographer who was going to take his picture and what hurt him was Samantha was returning his smile.

"You did this on purpose didn’t you?" He asked.

"What are you talking about?" Bruce asked, feigning innocent. "I only thought Samantha was old enough to get married but she’s always stuck with you. It’s not like the both of you are in love with each other or dating, so she’s practically wasting her life staying by your side—"

"You despise Samantha, so why are you suddenly so concerned with her life or who she ends up with?" Xander questioned with clenched fists.

He heard Samantha’s giggle from the seat. He glanced at them and saw her with Benjamin, laughing at a lame joke he was sure Benjamin had come up with.

"You’re right. I despise her, but if there’s something else I despise, is the fact that the both of you are working together," Bruce revealed and his words earned him a frown from Xander.

"What do you mean?"

Bruce sighed before leaning on his seat.

"If I had my way, I would have stopped Samantha from working with you. I don’t like it when the two of you are together, especially after she confessed her feelings for you more than a decade ago."

"So you’re worried that something will happen between the both of us," Xander stated with a scoff. "You are delusional."

Bruce played off Xander’s words with a laugh. "Like I said earlier, she’s not good enough for you. But don’t worry, you won’t be alone forever. I’m also going to be searching for a good woman for you."

"You don’t have to worry about that because I’ve already found my woman," Xander replied.

Bruce only stared at him without saying anything.

Xander’s eyes landed on Samantha once again, and this time, she was looking at Benjamin with a smile. She wasn’t supposed to be smiling at him. Looking at the both of them made his blood boil but he doesn’t have any valid reason if he went there and pulled her right away from that chair.

He felt his heart prick each time she heard her laughter. But she wasn’t laughing at him. She was laughing at the new guy in front of her.

"Stop looking and let them have their peaceful date," Bruce interjected, trying to distract Xander but it didn’t work as his gaze was still fixed on them.

Xander excused himself and left when he couldn’t take it anymore. Looking at them made him feel like he was munching on dog food.

Later at night,

Samantha arrived at the house with her car because she couldn’t afford Benjamin knowing where she lived and figuring out she worked as a sex trafficker.

Her steps were precise with her gaze lowered. It was almost close to midnight so there were no girls around because their curfew had already taken effect.

Inside, she heard Michelle laughing, but she wasn’t laughing alone.

Samantha sighed, knowing exactly who was with her.

She entered the living room and Xander was seated on the couch with Samantha, laughing with her. She saw some alcoholic bottles on the table and realized they were already drunk.

Samantha intended to walk past them quietly and let them have their fun but Xander caught her.

"Hey, how was your date?" He asked, standing up from the couch and walking towards her.

As soon as he was standing in front of her with his toe loose and a few of his buttons unbuttoned, Samantha caught a whiff of the alcohol entering her nostrils.

"It was great," she replied, intending to leave but Xander grabbed her by the arm, stopping her right in her tracks.

"Xander let her go, let’s continue our show," Michelle shouted.

"Shut up!" Xander snapped. "Now you, how was your date? Was he the one that brought you back?"

"You know that can’t happen, else he would know the kind of business we’re into and get ourselves in trouble," she replied, trying to yank her wrists off his grip but he only tightened his hold. "Let me go!" She demanded.

"No!" Xander replied, dragging her up the stairs.

Michelle stood up, about to interrupt but a single glare from Xander stopped her before she could say anything.

"We’re going to talk," he said to Samantha.
