章節 11: It Was Just A Short Kiss!!

I frowned when I realized where his eyes landed...I then covered myself with the bathrobe. My robe was slightly open, showing my cleavage. I glared at him sharply as my whole face heated up and turned cherry red.

"Pervert!" I blurted out and stepped forward and hit him over and over again as I kept blabbing, " Who gave you the permission to come in!? How did you get here? You perv!" I exclaimed as he kept on avoiding my blow.

I am definitely annoyed at him. Even get more annoyed when I heard his soft teasing laugh… so you are amused, huh!

"Faith, this is my house...I can go and do whatever I want... wherever I want without anyone's permission." He smirked as he was finally able to get hold of my hands and pulled me closer to him.

Weirdly, the room turned into deafening silence as our eyes met. He is now gripping my wrist harder trying to stop me...I now stopped whimpering since he is stronger than me…He slowly moved his head forward making it a few inches to mine… my heart, now beating really fast... I'm hoping that he can't hear even if he is close.

My mouth went open a little as I tried to get some air while he kept on moving his head as our forehead is now touching each other making our lips inches apart. His pointed nose touches mine… he was already panting, now I can definitely smell his minty warmth breath. I just realized now that he seemed to be just out of his shower… he looked fresh and smelled like an aftershave.

I slowly closed my eyes feeling his presence and his breath that touched my face. Suddenly, I felt a soft skin touching my lips that was followed by a soft groan. I couldn't understand how on earth that happened so quickly… and forgot everything at hand. I even closed my eyes!

I snapped back out of my senses. 'OMG! What is wrong with you Rayzel!' I scolded myself as I opened my eyes right away and without a single thought, I kicked him hard on his knee that caused him to fall above my bed. As I ran towards the bathroom.

"Fuck!" I heard him groan in pain before I could enter my bathroom again and immediately closed the door. My face was burning red and I was panting as I leaned my back on the door.

''How could you let something like that happen to Rayzel Faith! You're now acting stupid! Wake up!'' I scolded myself and went to face myself in the mirror… eyeing this stupid self sharply.

I touched the corner of my lips when I remembered the kiss a while ago. It was just a short kiss but too many memories have resurfaced. It was a short but warm kiss… I could even feel his longing behind that short kiss. I closed my eyes to calm myself and remove those thoughts from my head.

Meanwhile, I heard footsteps that were slowly getting close to my direction and was followed by a knock on my comfort room's door. I heard him let out a deep blow of air when I didn't answer.

"Tomorrow… I will train you, before you start being my assistant, you have to be skillful enough. I'll wait for you at my training room, 7am sharp." He said outside the door.

And after a few minutes, I heard the door opening and closing...I put my one ear close to the comfort room's door to be able to hear something and to make sure if he really left my room. When I made sure that there was no single noise I heard, I slowly opened the door and stepped outside. I exhaled deeply feeling relieved that he isn't there anymore.

I went straight to my door and locked it. I have to make sure NO ONE comes in without my permission. I then proceeded to my closet to change into my pajamas and do my other night rituals before I lay on my bed.

I was staring into the ceiling as my mind was flying everywhere… What now? How will I start finding that damn gunman who killed my sister? Now that I can not move freely in this house without his permission.

It would be very embarrassing on my part if I'll ask for his help… but it wouldn't be a bad idea I must say… him being the Mafia Lord and the wealthiest here in Manila and Italy… he must have a lot of connections... he would be a great help on finding the killer of Rhianne.

The next morning, I woke up early at 6 am as I was told by Scott that we will have our training at 7. I took a shower and wore my gym clothes. It was a pair of black leggings and a sports bra. I went downstairs and looked for someone that might lead me to where the training room is located.

I am still new in this huge house and I have completely no idea where it is. I don't even know where the kitchen is. Thankfully, I saw a woman in her early 20s I think… she is wearing a blue and white maid's uniform, she is petite, her hair is tied in a messy bun. She is climbing the stairs and is walking towards my room.

"Good morning, Miss Rayzel! My name is Farah, I was told by Master Scott to come wake you up and to inform you that he's already waiting at the dining table… Breakfast is ready." The woman greeted and flashed a smile at me while saying those sentences.

"Okay. Please lead the way." I replied calmly. I saw her nodded and started walking ahead of me as we went down the stairs.

It didn't take us 10 minutes to arrive at the dining table… where he was waiting while sipping a cup of coffee, he was holding a newspaper… he looked peaceful as he sat on the chair.

The food wasn't served yet. Was he really waiting for me? I rolled my eyes at my own thoughts... were you expecting something like that would ever happen girl? I sarcastically said to myself again.

I coughed a little to get his attention as I walked towards the chair beside him that was pulled by Farah for me. I saw him glance at me as he fold the newspaper.

"Did you have a nice sleep?" He asked calmly. The maids are now starting to serve our food on the table. I felt my face heated up as I remembered what happened last night.

I nodded as I said, "I did." And turned my face to the other side to avoid his gaze. "Farah, can you make me a black coffee without sugar please." I called out Farah to change the subject. I am not used to not having coffee every morning… It is my daily requirement as I cannot function well with a black coffee.

"Yes, Ma'am." She bowed before she left the dining room.

"What training are we going to do today? I thought you wanted me to be your assistant? Aren't you supposed to train me with office work and not in the training room or something?" I asked curiously as I started eating.

"Well… you will be my all in one assistant starting today. Don't worry about your salary, name your price." He replied while smirking at me.

I rolled my eyes again, 'What an arrogant creature!' I said to myself. "What do you mean by all in one? Don't tell me…" I asked him again with sharp eyes.

"Meaning… you will assist me with everything I do… in my office, business trips and most importantly, you will assist me in killing assholes who get in my way." He replied now with a serious face.

"Kill what!? No! I will not go to that level!" I exclaimed at him as I glared at him at the same time. I saw everyone's eyes were focused on me now that I shouted at him.

They must've been shocked at how I reacted. I shouted into their master. Their eyes looked horrified… maybe for my life. But I just ignored how his expression changed so quickly. Now he isn't smirking anymore but instead he is looking at me very intensely.

So this is a staring game, huh! I stared back with the same intensity as his and didn't break my eyes at him. Until his eyes moved down to my lips as he licked his own lips while staring at it. I automatically narrowed my eyes at him even more and let out a strong air and as I withdrew my eyes at him and focused on my food.

I saw the corner of his lips move up forming into a smile amusingly and continued to eat. Jerk!

After eating, we went straight to the training room. As we entered, my eyes popped out… I was thinking that his training room would look like a karate school, with punching bags and with other equipment.
