Can two broken souls heal each other

Chapter 17

Pete was slowly eating although the food was absolutely not of his taste, but he had no other choice. After some time nop entered the room with pete’s stuff. ‘Here all his stuff and we also found this phone’ nop handed over the phone to vegas and put the stuff down.

‘Ohkayyyyy….so all the information was being delivered regularly’ Vegas said sarcastically and Pete just looked up while chewing his food but didn’t say anything.

‘Ok that’s all for now nop, you can go now’ Vegas ordered nop and he left immediately.

‘So, for you pete…now that you have to live here for a while, I guess it would be good if you inform your favourite boss about your unavailability.’ Vegas said to pete. They were still sitting on the floor and Vegas's remark made Pete stop eating.

‘What do you mean?’ he asked

‘I mean, call your khun kinn and tell him that you've just nearly escaped from being caught, so now you are going underground for some time and will not be able to contact anyone.’ Vegas stretched out his legs, put his arms behind and relaxed himself.

‘No, I can’t do that, he will surely make out that I am in some sort danger’ pete replied little angrily

‘Then impress me with your bodyguard training and convince him mr. angry young man… or else you know the consequences’ vegas chuckled.

Pete was irritated but he had no other choice. He can’t put big’s life in danger, so he took the phone from vegas and typed the message:

"khrup khun kinn, I was almost caught by khun kan while stealing some information from his office, but I was lucky enough to escape and my identity was not revealed. But for now, I am going underground as I am sure that khun kan has already started the process of hunting the mole and each and every bodyguard is under tight scrutiny. So, I told them that my grandma is not well and I had to go. So, All this while I will not be able to contact anyone in the main family and will be back as soon as this situation cools down."

‘Show me before sending, for grammatical errors ofcourse’ Vegas said and smirked and Pete showed him the whole msg.

‘awww your grandma will feel bad that you lied on her name and didn’t even visit her’, vegas tried to tease pete.

‘She died long ago; I am an orphan’ Pete with a blank expression.

‘ohh ok,’ Vegas was stunned and suddenly he felt bad for his behaviour.

‘Okay so as I have already told you everything, so don’t try anything funny and if you need anything just ring that bell on the bedside table and nop will come in. I have to go now’, vegas got up from the floor and went towards the door, ‘and pete’ he haulted and turned around, ‘please don’t do anything stupid’ vegas said but this time he sounded concerned.

Now Pete was inside the room all alone. It was a beautiful room with mostly grey shades all around giving it an elegant and classy look. Pete took time to look at everything around. Room was big but not very much stuffed with decorations or unnecessary items. Also, the balcony attached to his room was also big with a glass door connecting it to the room. and making the environment inside the room more soothing and calmer. It seems that Vegas likes simplicity which is very much opposite to his personality that he shows to the world.
