Cracking Mr. Codehead (DA Series Book 3)

Chapter 23

Uno Point of View

"What are you looking at, Alarming?" I danced my way towards the petrified Alarming.

She seems like she's in some kind of trance; a bit thoughtful, a bit enlightened and a bit confused as well.

The thing is, all those emotions are flowing on her beautiful face when she is staring at me.

And this particular look of hers alerted me a little.

With a casual and flirty smile, I gave her a bunch of some really good-looking flowers and waited for her to take them.

She made no movement and kept on staring at me, which made me a little more vigilant.

I know, for one, that this woman standing before me is quite perspective and observant. Obviously, she has been ruling the whole family business empire for more than a decade now, it is given that she is sharp-eyed.

Just that, I don't know what is running on in her mind. For me, who is very meticulous in reading other's minds, unable to read hers for the first time.

She has always been either patient with me or really angry at me and I was able to easily detect her emotions earlier. However, now, I'm suddenly unable to figure our the thoughts running through her mind.

"I finally cracked the password of the first ever project file you sent me." She spoke.

Ah right, since after three wrong attempts, the file will self-destruct from the system, I had to send her the same file for about fourteen times and she could only crack the password now.

"You finally did? Amazing as always. How about we celebrate this great feat with a couple dance?" I twirled around and offered her my hand.

She did not take it and only glared at me like a wild tigress ready to bite a piece of meat from its prey.

Okay, why is Alarming looking at me like that?

I surely know that something strange is going on in her mind about me and something tells me that it is not good for me.

"Yeah, 'Cherry blossoms' represents me; how?" She asked with a bit of curiosity.

"Of course, your eyes." Isn't it quite obvious though?

Her eyes, my God, her eyes look like a wide open and blooming cherry blossom flowers that's hanging by the small beautiful twigs.

Simply, so fragrant to look at.

I expected her to lash at me or glare at me but she just continued to scan me from head to toe and left leaving a scoff behind for me to collect.

Nah nah nah, something is definitely different about her.

I immediately walked into my own tent looking for Buzz and the moment I entered, I heard him whistle at me with a kind of mischievous teasing look on his face.

"Didn't you say she is just a partner at work? Look at you now, flirting with her and comparing poetry with her beauty. I didn't know that the all-time serious and frowning De – Uno Mayhem will even have such a day."

"Shut your noisy hole up and focus on the work at hand." I grumbled at him. "Don't you think she is looking at me a little suspiciously earlier?" A minute later, I asked Buzz in a small tone.

Buzz, who is working on tracking down the source of weather app manipulation, paused typing for a bit and glanced at me before nodding his head.

"I don't think so, I'm sure she smelled something. I cannot tell what it is but she does seem to look at us with suspicion even now and then; mainly at you." I knew it. Buzz detected it too.
