Veil of secrets

chapter:05~

Veronica Carson

"I am charming, right ?"

His hot breaths land over my face, he smells of leather,musk and fresh soap.

His lips are very close to mine ! So very CLOSE!! What would it feels like if I kiss him ?

Okay, not going there .

As I come to my senses I push his chest and back away from him, he go of me .

" You are not ." I say with a bored tone
" Oh,I am " he says with a smirk .
"Go to hell !"
"Where do you think I came from ,miss ?"

My heart again picks the speed again, but instead of replying him I turn around while rolling my eyes and go straight to my bike .

As I hop on the bike I take a last glance towards the stranger who is still watching me with those eyes with blank expression

I maintain the eye contact as I strap my helmet on my head then by starting the bike I make a smooth drift and start taking my way back home .I do not speed the bike so as I can see the man from the mirror and luckily he is gone to his bike now .

As I reach the familiar street which leads to my home I brace myself and slow my bike, the guards opens the gate upon seeing me and nods respectfully as I enter the gate.

After parking the bike I enter the house just to find Agnus awake in the kitchen preparing coffee, but his gaze is lost somewhere else.

I start to tiptoe towards my room but Agnus sensed my presence and lifts his head towards me and I stop mid tracks.

His brows furrow together and confusion itched his face as he watches me. I give him an awkward smile .

He places the coffe mug on the counter and places his hands beside the mug.

" Where are you coming from this early morning?"

Shit

"Just for a walk " I say and keep my face neutral .

" Everything alright?"

"Yes"

"Hmm, do you want coffee ?" He says while lifting the mug from the counter.

"Yes, sure " I say and stride towards the kitchen and hop on the chair next to the counter.

He passes me the mug and starts making another one for himself. I start drinking, while ignoring his eyes on me because no way in hell I'm going to let him read my expressions,
he completes preparing his coffee and sits opposite me on the chair and takes a sip of his coffee.

"Slept last night ?" He asks
"Ya, and you ?"
"Yes"
He places the mug on the counter and strokes the edge of the mug while staring at it and then says " look Veronica no need to worry about anything related to firm, I just informed you about all that stuff yesterday was because I didn't want you to know about it from anyone else and it was your right to know about it. You know I am there for you every time"

" I know Agnus, you don't need to explain yourself, I just need 1 week for myself that's it,then after that I will take over the firm "

He watches me intently and give me an assured nod ."alright then start your week from today then "

"Sure and -"
" Good morning, sir "

Before I could complete my sentence,a baritone voice stops me mid-sentence.the voice seems familiar.....

As I turned around to take a look for the owner of the voice, I've again met with those forest green eyes. My eyes widen and the coffee in my mouth is ready to spill but I place hand on my mouth to prevent myself from the embarassing moment to happen ,and then his gaze slides from Agnus to me and his lips twitch into a slight smirk which I would have missed if I would have blinked my eyes but I saw it.

I jerk from my seat to shove him out of my house, because this tosser have followed me to my home now .But before I could say something Agnus stands and strides towards the stranger and starts

" Oh, goodmorning A2k, have your job started from today ? I mean officially?"

Wait he knows him ? What the hell !

"Wait you both know eachother?" I ask while stopping the stranger from answering.

Agnus turns his head towards me and gives me an confused look "what do you mean by that?" He asks me and then turns towards the other man "have you both met eachother?"

The stranger nods in agreement while staring at Agnus with his blank expression,his body is stiff as if any soldier in the border and his hands are folded behind him .

"When did you met before?" Agnus asks his tone serious and firm now.
