Sweet Revenge

XVII

It's been a week since I started this new job.

Slowly I'm starting to get used to this new lifestyle.
The work is less stressful than I thought it would be.
I recently found out that all staff members must work out in the mansion's gym twice a week and no, it's not something you can bargain on.
To me personally nothing changes since it is something that I would have done anyway since I don't mind keeping fit.

From what I can see, Axel is settling in very well, too, and I'm happy about that.

I started to install a good relationship with Josh, we spend most of the time now together; both for the fact that we see each other during the daily shifts and also because we spend time together also outside the working environment.

I never thought I'd enjoy spending time with someone other than Axel, but Josh really knows how to approach me, and I'm getting used to his shyness too, even though I still have to get used to the amount of times he blushes whenever we speak.

He's just...cute i guess.

I have just been informed that my shifts will last twelve hours every day, one week I will have to do the day shift then a break on the weekend and I will resume the next week with the night shift.

I already feel the tiredness of all this on me.

Contrary to what I thought, Mr. Nicolai Morello did not give me any problems, well...he didn't actually spoken to me since the day he dismissed me in a very rude way.
But it's not really a problem for me cause if he wants to continue with this treatment of silence, for reasons unknown to me by the way, then we can play this game in two.

We are currently
in one of his companies because he had meetings with some clients.

He was at the head of the table while other four men, also dressed in black suits, stood around the table.
I was on his right side, not many inches away and from there I could smell his divine scent that could've made eyes turn behind anyone's head, including me.
Although the man has a bad temper I don't mind being able having the opportunity to smell his amazing scent every day.

Take me for crazy but I have a weakness for perfumes, especially the one he's wearing.

However, the meeting was now over and everyone was getting up from the table.
One by one they shook hands with Mr. Morello and I followed every movement that was made in case someone wanted to try something funny.

When the last of them left, it was just me and him in the room.
None of us uttered a word until after a few minutes Mr Nicolai got up and walked past me to the door.
I closed my eyes shut refraining from saying something that could possibly get me fired about his rude attitude and started following him, always behind him and at a certain distance tho.

Once reached the hall I noticed that there were a lot more people than the other times we have been here.
What attracted my attention was the arrival of a blonde girl in a black pencil skirt and a white blouse with two unbuttoned buttons that showed her obviously redone breasts and a bit of her bra with white lace.

"Good morning Mr. Morello. It's always a pleasure to have you here. I hope your meeting went well !"
She said with a high pitched voice while blinking repeatedly her false eyelashes and putting her breasts almost in Mr. Morello's face.
I rolled my eyes scoffing at her demeanor, gaining a glare from her which I returned.

"It went well Rebecca"
He said drawing her gaze towards him again.
"I'm glad about it sir. If you need anything let me know"
She said marking the word "anything", making me raise an eyebrow in disbelief.

God knows how much i hate girls like her.
I thought groaning internally.

Before anyone could say or do anything else, I heard someone scream.
Looking over the blonde's shoulders I noticed a guy dressed in all black wearing a hood over his head running with a gun in his hand in our direction.
When I noticed that he had raised the weapon I immediately flung myself in front of Mr. Morello, acting as a shield with my body and after a few seconds I heard a loud shot followed by a thud and a pain in my side.

I immediately moved Mr Morello and before I could do anything else I felt myself thrown to the ground by someone.
When I realized that was the person who had just shot us I immediately stood on my feet at the same time he did and without wasting even a second I kicked the arm he held the gun with, making it fall to the ground. Before he could make any other moves, I kicked him in the stomach and punched his nose.

Groaning he started attacking me too, throwing two straight punches in my face that hit me and others that I managed to avoid.
Then he pulled a knife out of his pocket and started running towards Mr. Morello again but I kicked him hard on the shin causing him to fall to the ground with a scream followed by another one of my kick to the face while he was still on the floor, making him bleed both from the nose and mouth.
Despite this, with a quick movement he got to his feet and jumped on me like an animal.

This motherfucker has some stamina.

I thought while we circled each other like two predators, before he threw himself on me once again.

He managed to make me fall to the ground and now he was straddling me, pointing the tip of the knife towards my face and, although I was holding both his hands in order to try to stop him, slowly the knife began to advance more and more dangerously close to my right eye.

Looking around for a moment to check that Mr. Morello was safe I noticed that he was being held by two of his men and was looking towards me with a look that I had never seen before in his eyes. Shifting my gaze away again I used all my strength and turned our position.

Now I was on top of him blocking him with both legs and holding his arms above his head with one hand while with the other I took the knife and stabbed him first in the shoulder causing screams of agony to leave his mouth, before stabbing him in the leg as well.

Once his body finally fell limp beneath me I rested the knife on the ground and began to check that he had no other weapons on him before getting up from his unconscious body and heading to Mr Morello.

"Are you okay sir? Are you hurt somewhere?"
I said getting close to him, checking every part of his body with my eyes for blood or any wounds.
When I saw that he wasn't hurt I looked up at him and met those gray eyes that held... concern.

"Sir?"
I asked again, not receiving an answer, again. I then tilted my head to the side a little scrutinizing his face while furrowing my eyebrows.

He then came closer to me and without saying anything took my hand in his causing a weird and pleasant feeling of warmth to settle where he touched me, all this while leading us both out of the building.
