Chương 13: Young Master, I found something about the Young Miss

Inayah was playing video games in her house when she received a call from an unknown person.

When she answered, it turned out to be Samantha who was outside her house so Inayah threw her oversized hood on and zipped it up as she walked out wearing a pair of short jean pants.

''Samantha?'' Inayah walked to Samantha who was standing by her car.

''Inayah, how are you feeling?'' Samantha went closer and touched Inayah's hands affectionately.

''I'm fine. What are you doing here?'' Inayah was confused by her visit. It was a national holiday and they didn't even talk much in school, not did they make plans before.

''Yesterday, you didn't look too well. I thought I should come and see how you are doing since is a holiday. Tell me, how do you feel now?'' Samantha looked genuinely worried about Inayah.

''Oh, I'm fine now. You didn't have to come just for that.'' Inayah stepped back and retrieved her hands.

Samantha smiled bitterly as she spoke. ''Ever since that night, I feel that you don't trust me and we have fallen out. Ayah, I really want to be friends again. I don't want us to separate because of what happened? It wasn't anyone's fault, right?''

''Samantha... I don't…''

''Listen to me Ayah..'' Samantha robbed Ayah's hands gently as she said to her, ''I know… I know I shouldn't have kept quiet. I am your friend, I should have said something to defend you, but just like everyone else I was shocked and scared. I was confused and couldn't think straight back then. Ayah, please, forgive me.'' Samantha was on the verge of crying as she spoke.

Inayah was amazed by her acting ability. But even more, she was repulsed by how Samantha kept touching and holding her hands.

She shook her off gently saying, ''no, is okay. Really. Is all in the past now and I don't really want to talk about what happened anymore.''

Inayah was being honest when she said it was in the past, but it still didn't mean she was going to forgive Samantha for betraying and snitching on her.

Samantha smiled and nodded her head. ''You know; I am happy that we came back. We have our whole lives ahead and must move on regardless of what happened.''

''You are right. That's why you shouldn't be asking me to forgive you. Let's forget about everything.'' Inayah said and saw a blue car coming out of the mansion.

Samantha furrowed her brows as she looked at the car. She couldn't see the person inside because the windows were closed and also dark. She turned to Inayah and asked. ''Ayah, who is that?''

''I don't know.'' Inayah replied indifferently.

''That car. There is only one family that can afford that type of car in the whole of country M. Could it be that the rumour is true?'' Samantha recognised the car.

Inayah looked at her suspiciously. ''What rumour?''

''That car belongs to Jasper Miles. The most admired bachelor in the whole of City Z. He is on the list of every woman's type of man to marry.'' Samantha's eyes were filled with admiration as she talked about Jasper.

''Really? If he is the most admired man; why does he wear a mask?'' Inayah muttered.

''What did you say?'' Samantha didn't hear Inayah's words clearly.

''No, nothing. Samantha, I need to go to the library.'' Inayah wanted to shake her off.

''I will give you a ride then.'' Samantha was trying hard to cling on to Inayah.

''No, Clara is on her way here. I am going with her.'' Inayah said and they saw a taxi coming their way. It pulled over and Clara got out of the taxi. Inayah pointed at the taxi saying, ''there she is!''

''Then, Ayah. Feel free to talk to me if you need anything. I will always be your friend and don't worry about Selina and Joy. I will talk to them.'' Samantha said carefully.

''Thank you!''

Clara walked to them and spoke to Inayah while ignoring Samantha. ''You know, the car is not our private car, right?''

''Ayah, you can go. I was going somewhere. Let's meet in school tomorrow then.'' Samantha said and got into her car.

As her driver drove the car away, she waved at Inayah and muttered, ''let's see whether you will remain this naïve after I finish taking everything that belongs to you...''

Clara rolled her eyes sarcastically and shook her head.

A while later...

Inayah came out with her handbag after changing into a chevron matching top and short skirt. She got into the taxi and sat next to Clara.

''Come on. Are you going to keep glaring at me till we get there?'' Inayah asked when she noticed her cousin glaring at her.

''How could you still act normal in front of that little snitch? Tell me, what did she want? I just can't understand why you're still willing to listen to her?'' Clara hated Samantha so much after what she did to Inayah 8 months ago.

''She came to make sure I still think of her as a friend.''

''A friend? Wow! That shameless, obnoxious little bitch. I just have the urge to strangle her anytime I see her. How shameless of her to still want to be friends after what she did. Let me warn you, Ayah. If you become friends with that girl again, it is over between us.'' Clara was serious.

''Relax, I feel worse than that but that wouldn't help me right now. I feel like throwing up anytime she acts like she likes me and I just want to pay her back, but I need to find out why she hates me so much first.''

Inayah was playing along with her so that she could find out why Samantha hates her even though she has always being good to the former.

''Just stay away from her. She is bad news, ooh, I hate her so much.''

''Okay, relax. I will stay away from her. Are we good now?''

''You promise?''

''I promise. Happy now?''

''Of course!''

''What books are you going to buy at the library?'' Inayah asked as they got down from the taxi and went towards the City Library.

Clara brushed her hair backwards lightly and answered. ''Romance. I think I need some romance in my life. Someone like you will never understand because you're already having your very own little romance with Jasper Miles.'' Clara winked at Inayah after teasing her.

''Hey! What is wrong with you? I told you it was a mistake, what happened that night.''

''Inayah, you two have met more than twice to call that a coincidence. He even saw you in your underwear, that's a lot of development if you ask me.'' Clara said and ran into the library.

....

Miles Group.

Jasper scratched his hair and furrowed his brows as he worked. He heard a knock and looked up to see Butler James entering the office.

Even though he was in his fifties, he still looked young and was still very energetic. He was probably one of the few people that Jasper trusted with his life.

''Young master, I found out something about the little Miss today.'' Butler James said as he placed a brown envelope on the table.
