章節 6: Chapter 6: Fire Alarm

[Liz]

When I saw Chris taking these two Girls away from the crowd, I grew furious and jealous.

Well, who wouldn't be? Would you let your man of your dreams f^€k some people with you knowing? Of course not!

And so I followed them.

As I was tailing them from behind, I made sure no one suspected me or saw me. I was stealthy enough to avoid the gazes of the crowd in the party.

Chris and these two b*tches with him didn't took the elevator which actually confused me.

They took the stairs instead.

I remembered that there's a staff that was guarding the elevator, that guides guests to the party on the rooftop.

They avoided the guard so they won't get caught and cause issues in the medias.

I squinted my eyes at them. "Chris!!! What are you doing?!" I screamed inside my head. I'm so, so angry about what's happening. This is not happening!

What if they would really do it? What should I do?

Well, I can't stop Chris. Who am I to tell him to not do that anyway. I'm just a Girl who's pretending to be someone else for a job. What can I do?

I spread both of my hands and pat my face really hard. I needed that. I need to wriggle these thoughts off first. After all, I still really don't know what's going to happen between Chris and these two Women with him.

But either way, I need to stop them.

I sneakily went to the stairs too. I can hear their voices and their conversations. And f^ck, The girls were laughing really hard with Chris' dirty jokes.

I'm so envious right now. I just wish I was one of those girls.

They stopped going down and after passing 1 floor.

The 2nd to the top floor in this building has Chris' room.

Their chit chats still didn't end and kept their voices high. They're not seemed worried that there are others in the floor that might hear or see them.

I still continued the pursuit.

I then hide behind a plant pot with a Humongous fern in it. Its just a perfect place for my skinny body to hide.

I peeked at them. Somehow this floor isn't empty at all. There is a Janitor cleaning this floor.

I saw Chris' hesitated to continue and quieted down. But a second after, he started to lead the girls to a door.

I looked at the Janitor. The Janitor was facing to the other side, facing away from Chris.

There's seem an earphones attached on his ear. That's why Chris chose to continue. The Janitor won't notice their presence as the Janitor is busy with its own business.

Chris took his Key Card and slid it in to a slot on the the Door. The Door beeped and opened letting Chris and the girls in.

My heart jumped. My mind started to fill up wild imaginations again.

No! No! Please Chris don't do it!

I wanted to cry and scream and thrash around.

I am so pissed right now. I didn't even catch myself that was already crushing the fern. Then the fern snapped in half.

The leaf fell on the floor that made a loud noise.

I saw Chris turned his head on my direction but I managed to crouch down. I think he missed me.

That was close!

I peeked my head over to see that Chris entered the room completely. The room suddenly shut.

A frown displayed on my face. They're going to do it. Chris won't be mine anymore.

No! Stop thinking like that Liz!

No not yet! No matter what, I'm going to stop them!

I pulled myself up. I won't let that deed happen to them. Not ever. I don't care if I'm on a Job or a mission but no, I won't let them do it.

I inhaled really deep and let it out. Confidently, I walked towards Chris' door. I saw a red button beside it. I think this is supposed to be a door bell or something.

I need to do this. For the sake of having my Man of my life, I can do this.

My finger moved. It's going for the button.

I was about to touched it when a hand grabbed it.

I looked to the hand's owner. It was the Janitor earlier. He gave me the scare there. I thought it was something else.

"What are you doing?!"

The Janitor sternly whispered at me. The way he said it, its like he knows me and telling me that what I am going to do is wrong. It was really weird.

I was confused. Who's this guy? I clearly haven't read any information about this Janitor and its relation to Jacob.

But then, I remembered that I am Jacob right now, I need to deal this in Jacob's way even though I don't really like it.

"No, What are you doing?" I answered by throwing back his question. I flicked my arms off from his grip.

"And how dare you touch me? Do I know you? I don't remember meeting your lowly being in my life before." I gave him the coldest stare I got. I know what I said isn't nice but I'm Jacob right now, I can't mess this up.

I don't think he's a fan also. The way he looks at me, I think he don't like me.

A creepy sensation shivered on my skin when I saw the Janitor smiled and laughed

"Good Job! You're really into your character, Liz. Great!" The Janitor laughed in amazement.

My brain couldn't processed the things that's happening right now. I mean, who is this person? How did he know my name? How did he know I'm just acting to be someone else?

The Janitor sighed.

He then took of his hat, his mustache- fake mustache, his fake eyebrows and glasses.

I was flabbergasted! It was Jacob!

What the?! I thought he's on vacation.

"J-jacob?! What are you doing here?" I stuttered. Wait! Why am I nervous? Its just him.

He didn't answer right away and looked at me. He gave a moment of silence before answering.

"Checking if you're doing good in your job. And I think you are!" He said while giving me a good tap on the shoulder.

"Thank You." I was kinda flustered when he said that. I know that I'm good enough for this job, its just I like how he complimented how good I am.

"Anyway, Why are you here? In front of Chris' Room?" When Jacob asked that, My heart started beating really fast.

Sweats appeared above my forehead but I got to control myself.

"Well, I-"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" He tsked me like I've done something wrong. Instead of being nervous and shy, I was annoyed. My eyes glared at him.

"You should be careful next time. I don't follow Chris. Remember, I don't even like Chris. He is my enemy. I know you have feelings for Chris but you have to keep them suppressed for now. You're at work after all." Jacob scolded me.

I didn't like it but he's right anyway. I should be more careful. If people find out that I'm a Con artist, medias might took my life over.

But remembering Chris being with someone else made my heart ached.

I don't want that to happen. I'm still eager to stop them.

I looked at the door and then looked down and pouted.

I heard Jacob sighed so I looked at him.

"You really liked him, yeah?" Jacob asked.

I nodded.

"You know if he wants to do it, he'll do it. You can't stop it from happening. He can do whatever he wants." Jacob slapped me with that harsh reality.

My heart started to crumble. I couldn't just accept that. I felt that a tear escaped out of my eye.

"Alright, Alright!" Unexpectedly, Jacob said something. It made me stopped from crying.

"Ok, I'll help you. But just this time. No more next time." He said while scratching the back of his neck.

I smiled. I think Jacob has a soft side after all. I think he don't like seeing a woman or a girl crying.

"Now, get up! That red button right there isn't a doorbell, ok? That's a fire alarm. Click that or you'll be making the people in this building go wild in fear."

Hearing Jacob said that made me thought of myself as a dumb person. I didn't noticed the lid a top of the Red button and the words 'Fire alarm' written on it.

I guess I was too focus of stopping Chris and his girls from doing it and didn't know that I almost do something really bad.
