People started surrounding and aiming their guns at us. We were completely outnumbered.
"This round of hide-and-seek is sadly over, but the next round is starting...right now!"
We heard a fit of hysterical laughter before she announced.
"Are you rea...
I adjusted my black wig and checked my makeup once more before stepping out of the cab. Dylan, the driver (finally mentioned his name), couldn't drive me here because Kris and KT didn't want any suspicions so I took a cab here.
I handed the cab driver the money and walked into the building. I looked up at the border above the doors.
Vladimir Holdings LLC.
The doors automatically opened and I stepped in, looking around. I wasn't here when we made the pact so this was my first time in the company. I headed to the receptionist, "I'm the new secretary for Mr. Alexander Jones."
"Miss Layla Madison?"
I nodded and she typed something into the computer before getting up.
"Please follow me."
The woman led me to an elevator and we went up to the top floor. When we arrived, we stepped out and I followed her to a pair of wooden doors.
"Mr. Jones is ready for you. Just knock and walk in."
I nodded and thanked her before knocking on the door twice. I heard a 'come in' and turned the doorknob, walking in.
"Mr. Jones."
Alexander looked up from the file in his hands and gave me a smile, "Miss Madison, pleasure to meet you."
He got up and came to stand in front of me. We shook hands as I greeted him, "Pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Jones. I look forward to be working for you as your secretary."
He nodded, "Yes, you'll be a great one, better than Miss Davis. Did you know what happened to her?"
I shook my head, "No, sir."
Yes, sir, I do, but I'm not gonna tell you that.
We created a scandal where the previous secretary was rumored to be sleeping with this guy. They actually weren't but we made it look like she was telling people that she was, so she was fired from her position, gaining us access to the job.
"Apparently, she told everyone that we were dating and sleeping together. I mean, who would believe that?"
I shrugged, "Maybe she wanted to believe that."
"Her words caused a big scandal and I had to fire her. Luckily you applied for the job just in time."
I nodded and smiled, "Lucky me."
"Now, let me show you how to work as my secretary."

Friday, 10th July 2020
Today's going to be my last day working here as the target's 'secretary'. Kris had helped me get a week's leave and I was ready to blow the target's brains out.
At the moment, I was getting ready for the kill when Alexander, or should I say, Alejandro, least suspects it. I looked up at the security camera and saw it flicker before moving downwards.
My phone dinged and I checked the message.
KrisTian
CCTVs on your floor are all disabled. Carry out the plan.
On it.
I tucked my gun under my blazer and smoothened out my pencil skirt before walking to the target's office.
I stepped in without knocking and he looked up, a little stunned that I didn't announce I was coming in.
"Layla? What are you doing here?"
"Închide dracu ', Alejandro (Shut the fuck up, Alejandro)," I spoke in his native Romanian tongue. His face paled and he slowly got up, "What're you talking about?"
"O, știi despre ce vorbesc, Alejandro Dumitru. Vexion a ucis aproape Crystal Undead (Oh, you know what I'm talking about, Alejandro Dumitru. Vexion nearly killed Crystal Undead)," I spat out, venom lacing my tongue.
I took the gun out and aimed it at his head. He raised his hands in surrender, "Cine ești tu (Who are you)?"
I pulled the wig down and my hair cascaded down, silently showing him who I really was, "Cel mai mare cosmar al tau (Your worst nightmare)."
I fired the gun and he fell dead, his forehead bleeding out.
The door broke down and my men came in, trailing behind them is KT, and what the fuck is Kris doing here?
"Kris, what the hell?" I tucked my gun back as I stared at him. He just shrugged and held his rifle down, "I got shot, not paralyzed, Krystal. I can help. You expect me to let KT take over in this mission?"
"Yes, that's what I expected. How did you even get discharged so early? You're supposed to stay in the hospital for three weeks."
He shrugged again, "I didn't. We snuck out."
I sighed before looking at the dead body, "Mission complete."
KT lowered his gun and waved me over, "Let's go home, Kryssie."

We arrived back home after dropping Kris off at the hospital. The staff wasn't too happy when they saw him on his feet, but we made them shut their mouths.
I took off my heels and put on a pair of slippers. My feet were hurting from standing in those wretched shoes all week and I was ready to just get in bed and sleep through the night when I had an unexpected visitor.
"Surprise...?"
Zach was sat cross-legged on my bed with a Pusheen plush on his lap. I dropped my heels next to the door before falling face-down on the bed next to him. He rubbed my lower back as he placed the plush in my arms.
"You need a nap, babe."
I glanced at him, "No shit."
I felt him peck the back of my neck, "No need to be cranky, Diamond. Let me help you change and you can sleep."
I groaned and reluctantly let him pick me up. He walked into my closet to get some comfortable clothing for me and I unbuttoned my blazer, slipping it off.
Zach came back with shorts and his t-shirt. He placed them on the bed before turning me around. I unbuttoned my shirt while he unzipped my pencil skirt and slid it off.
I put on the shorts and he pulled the shirt on me.
"I'll put these in the hamper as you get in bed," he said and I nodded, my eyelids threatening to close. I flopped on the bed and under the covers before feeling him crawl in and pulling me into his arms.
He placed the plush he got me by the abundance of pillows and kissed the crown of my head, whispering into my hair, "Sweet dreams, my Diamond."
