You can't tell me we have nothing on him" I bark out"Sir all due respect we are doing our best""Did I fucking ask you to speak ""No sir""Then fucking shut up, talk once you have answers to my questions " I spatNodding he looks down"Mere fact all of you get out ", they all exit quietlyLoosening my tie, I take off my suit jacket. Sighing I ran my hand through my hairGetting a call I look at the caller ID"What is it James " I am too exhausted for his bullshit today"I love your girlfriend man the girl is way cooler than I thought she would be ""James is that Matt" she says in the background and I smile"Hi baby" her sweet voice heard on the other line"Hey, princess" I smile, I can't wait to be home just to see her"Hehehe okay so me and James are here with the dealers " She
