Chapter 1

"I'd have no choice but to kill you"

Those words hung in the air as they both went dead silent, as the tension rose, Mixie slowly inched back, kill? what did he mean by kill? ,Is this, underground London really that confidential? Wouldn't the government know? This was dodgy, very... Very dodgy indeed

Clive saw how utterly distressed she was, "I'm joking! I wouldn't actually kill you... Do I look like a murderer to you?" 

Mixie shook her head, beginning to get her composure back, "No, no sir, of course you don't." 

"Good to get that cleared up! Shall we go back to Spring? She must be waiting for us, after all, she's probably dying to know if you got the job!"

Mixie nodded, and managed to crack a small smile and chuckle, to which Clive returned the smile

They both went down to Spring, who's face lit up when they both came into the room

"Hello dearies!" Spring chirped, but was now joined by her husband, Cogg, who seemed equally as curious as Spring as to if Mixie got the job

"Well? Did she get the job?" Cogg asked curiously, and was delighted when Clive responded with a nod

"Yep, and if I'm reading my notes correctly, it seems that she shall be absolutely perfect for the job!" Clive let out a half real half fake chuckle, "That was a bad joke, my apologies, but yes, she got the job"

"So, uhm, will I go?" Mixie asked, desparate not to blurt out that she really did NOT want this insane job of constructing a robot and helping out with a replica of a London, which will be underground anymore because of being told, quite casually by her boss, that she would have been slaughtered if she had not been good enough at engineering and robotics.

Clive shook his head, smiling smartly "I personally think we should all have tonights dinner together so we can get to know you!" he smiled, but soon lost the smile when he that Mixie had a quite confused expression,

"Hey Hey Hey!!! Why do I need to stay, It's not like I'm your Girlfriend that is meeting your family! I'm just your assistant! Nothing more. and probably something less as time takes it's toll " she growled, but he just chuckled

"I actually never said that you were my girlfriend or anything of the sort, but if you want to be with me like that, well, I'm flattered to say the least, but we just met, so I think we're moving way too fast" he smirked, seeing the girl get all heated up and red in the face

"..."

"Well, Mixie? Do you agree?"

"Shut your goddamn mouth. I will never like you like that!" she hissed at him, getting hostile

"Jesus bloody christ, calm down, I was joking! Sheesh."

"Sure ya were. Never make a comment about us like that again or I will not hesitate to kick you in the shins, You got it?"

"Bet that you won't!"

"we'll see."
