CHAPTER 2

HER beautiful chocolate eyes shines in the middle of the night while looking at the view outside through the glass wall. The city lights below adds up the sparkle in those eyes. It looks like that he is hooked by her beautiful eyes. This unknown woman inside his office, breathing the same air, with the same alertness surrounds the both of them, the way they act are like as if they are comfortable with each other. The intensity and the quantity of their similarities are to be cautious about. Or maybe he should be cautious around this woman but fuck him. Seeing the way this woman do her job earlier make him even more puzzled of his emotions.

Why the heck he is being intrigued by this woman? In a positive way though. The excitement he felt. "What are you looking at?" He suddenly went back from his reverie after he heard the woman's voice.

He control himself not to be obvious. "I was just looking at the city night view from here. Any problem with that?" He asked smugly.

The woman glared at him and give him a dead look. "You know what, mister, please no string attach to this work. Remember that I am just here to protect you, not to entertain your desires, wants, feelings, or any questions. Let's be civil. No attachment please."

He scoffed. What the heck is this woman thinking? "Of course! That's a fucking deal. And also no crossing between each other's line."

The woman smiled sweetly. Damn that smile.

"Deal."

They both smiled each other. A smile that shows they both achieve the success of their big project as business partners.

After a couple of silence, the woman asked him that made him wordless. "Should we live together?"

She suddenly gasped when he come near her unnoticed. And because  he surprised her, she punch him. Yes, she punched him right at his dazzling face.

"What the-?!" He uttered in shock while touching his face.

He glared at her and she glared back too. "What's wrong by punching you? It's your fault though." She said then walk away from him.

He was dumbfounded and after a couple of seconds he suddenly laugh sarcastically. "The great Agnus Valkyrie was punched right at the face by a mere woman. Huh. Ridiculous."

"Ohh, i'm a record breaker y'know." She said while smiling sweetly at him.

He examined her posture, the way she sat. Crossed leg, arms crossed. Simple yet it revegetate authority. Huh, tsk.

SHE LAUGHED silently while watching his face. "So, what's the plan?" She asked.

He cleared his throat. "We will live together, of course. Everywhere I go, you'll be with me. Whatever I eat, you eat it first. And whatever I ask-"

"Wait. So you say, it's okay for me to die first than you?" I ask and the tone as if I am hurt with that fact.

He raised his left brow. "That's your job. No more buts."

"My life is preciou-"

"And stop cutting me off." He said smugly.

"And stop cutting me off too." I said with finality.

"Okay. And lastly, you will do what I will ask you to do without any counterappeal. No objection?"
