“Come on,” said Luke. “He doesn’t like tardiness.”
She gave a determined nod. “I’m coming.”
I noticed she didn’t have anything on her except a small purse. It didn’t take a genius to know she’d directly fled to the campus from our home.
Without glancing at us, she walked away with Luke.
“Do you believe what he said?” I asked, turning my attention to my brother. “Is this really the first time she’s talked to him?”
“We can find out,” said Caleb. “Noah would know if they interact during classes.”
“Hey, you want another sandwich?” I asked.
“Get two more for me.”
I kicked him under the table. “You get it.”
He kicked me in the knee in retaliation.
“What are you both doing?” A cool, familiar voice spoke up, making us stop.
“Hey, Noah.”
Caleb flipped me the bird and shifted his chair away from mine. “Why are you here? Don’t you have a class right now?”
Noah’s brow rose high. “I don’t.”
“But Milla just said—” Caleb stopped and spat a curse. “Fuck! Did she just lie to us?”
“What are you talking about?” asked Noah and sat down in the same seat where Milla had been sitting.
I sneaked one of the cookies off his plate while his whole attention was focused on Caleb.
“We saw Milla talking to Luke Beckett,” said Caleb. “Do they usually hang out?”
“No,” said Noah, pulling his tray closer to him so I couldn’t sneak something else from his plates. “I’ve never seen them talk to each other.”
“At least, she didn’t lie about that,” I said.
“What did she lie about?” Noah asked and took a sip of his coffee.
“She ran away again,” Caleb said through clenched teeth. “She lied about a class and escaped.”
“There’s something else too,” I said, hoping Caleb would get to the important part. “Caleb thinks Luke was behind my accident.”
Noah glanced at Caleb.
“I’m not a hundred percent sure but the description I got pretty much matches up with him,” said Caleb. “Any idea why he’d want to go after one of us?”
“Becketts are our evergreen competitors,” said Noah slowly. His finger traced the rim of his coffee cup. “Luke hasn’t tried anything so far. He probably watched us all these years. Had to be fucking easy since he attended the same classes as me and lived in the same frat house as us.”
“You believe he’s a threat?” I asked. “What if he comes at us again?”
“Let’s go beat the shit out of him, then,” Caleb suggested.
“Don’t,” said Noah. “You can never be directly connected to an attack on him. It will have a direct impact on our company. That’s the reason Luke was so careful when he planned an attack on you. Even the guy he paid to mess up Corey’s bike doesn’t know who he truly is.”
“Sneaky bastard,” Caleb cursed.
