Chapter 349: Intention
"W-what!" Caramel yelled suddenly that Alfred had to pull the phone backward a bit so she wouldn't damage his ear drum. "H-how did it happen?” Her voice shook with a slight tremor to it.
Though, Alfred didn't want to reason it that much. Even though she sounded so unhappy, he still thought that she had something up her sleeve and wasn't sincere.
"I’m yet to know. I've called all the elders and we will notify them. But for now, no one should know about it and he’s still in the hospital,” he made his voice fade intentionally. "I don't know what to do yet but I will let you know eventually," he assured.
Caramel sobbed. "I saw him a few minutes ago. Why would he be dead? You guys should do his autopsy," she sobbed softly.
"Maybe but that's left for the elders to decide on. Bye for now and take care of yourself.”
Alfred hung up and released a sigh. He was done with the plan. All they had to do was wait for the result. He walked back inside.
Caramel was starting to get anxious. She sat for a moment, a bit confused before she looked at her phone again as if expecting someone to call her.
Was Grey really dead? He felt uncomfortable and very sad at that words even though she doesn't even know why.
Of course, she does, it was because she used to date him. Maybe they were once in love or something. Well, Caramel couldn't really remember anything much.
She stood up and waited for a moment. The hard beating of her heart was making her uneasy. They could find out and that would mean a disaster for her. She knew that she needed to hurry but where was she supposed to go in such a short time?
The door opened softly and one of the men keeping watch of the house walked inside. "Hello, ma'am."
Caramel’s heart took a sudden thud. She looked up, and an anxious smile invaded her face. "Yes, is something wrong?"
The man stepped forward. "Not much but w are all called by Mr. Alfred and we are on the way there. I use came to inform you so you won't find it weird if we leave like that and you can suddenly find out anywhere," he explained.
Caramel nodded briefly." Alright, you should go. It's alright."
The man bowed slightly and walked out of the room. Caramel moved to the window and saw the other men assembled. They were really leaving and Caramel would have the time to leave without delay.
Her phone rang suddenly and almost gave her a heart attack. She pulled back to pick up the phone and glanced at the screen. It was Richard. A sigh escaped her as she picked it up.
"Hello, Richard."
There were a few minutes of silence at the other end before a few voices came online. "Yes, hello caramel."
"Hi," Caramel felt even anxious that she started having sweaty hands.
"Yes, do you have something for me? How with the job I gave you?"
