The Risks of Love

Chapter 28

Jessica's POV

Luke told me that there was a building that we can use for a while till the mission is accomplished. So, with the elites that were carefully chosen by me and Xaiver, I'm on my way to France. 

I turned around and Luke was sitting on the seat with a laptop placed on his lap. As usual, he was frowning as he typed furiously in his laptop, making me wonder why he was so mad at the poor laptop. 

Averting my attention away from him, I stood up and walked towards the room where there was a bed, I could take a nap in. I undressed as quickly as I could and went inside the bed, not bothering to change into pajamas. It was quite weird to think that I was sleeping in the air but the thought soon faded away as I snuggled close to the soft blanket and dozed off. 

I am not sure how long it's been but I jolted awake when a loud voice boomed throughout the jet. It was the captain announcing to land off and I dragged my legs off the bed to get dressed. 

As I was about to pull my sweater over my head, I heard the footsteps of someone approaching and I ran towards the door to lock it but the door was already opened by someone. Not knowing what to do, I kicked it which worked because along with someone groaning, the door closed and I used it as a chance to lock it. 

"I will be out in a minute." I yelled over my shoulder as I ran back to the room to get dressed completely. When I walked out of the room, no one was there and I walked out of the jet with the help of an attendant showing me the way out. 

When I walked down the stairs, everyone was out with their suitcases by their side. I walked around the crowd to find my suitcase and when I did, it was with Luke. Was he the one who tried to open the door?

I took a step closer to take a look at his face as he was talking with someone in Russian. And when I did, I instinctively took a step back when he pushed back my suitcase he was holding. Taking it from his hand, I walked off to where Xavier was standing. 

Soon, SUVs and vans pulled over infront of us and everyone put their loads into the trunks of the vehicles. Xavier had already taken my suitcase with him and vans left one by one. Soon, I was left alone with Xavier, Luke and his assistant. 

Xavier walked towards one of the cars waiting for us and I followed suit. I scowled when he shut the door on my face. Is he serious? Did he fucking close the damn door on my face?

I was about to yell at him when a hand gripped on my shoulder and led me the other way where another car was waiting. I looked up and there was Luke with a small smile as he opened the door for me to get in. 

When I got in, he closed the door after getting in himself too. The car soon took off and there was an uncomfortable silence in the car. 

"Hey, I have a question for you." I broke the silence and he looked at me, as if allowing me to continue with the question. 

"I was wondering if it was you who came by the door to wake me up just now." and as I asked, the corners of his lips rose upwards and he looked straight ahead.
