I Have To Work With Him?

The Meeting

Chapter 2 - The Meeting

Scarlet's P.O.V

Well that was something I hoped I would never have to experience. Just the thought of seeing my boss's ... thing, it made me shudder in disgust. I looked around the room for the first time I had entered. It was quite large for a waiting room. There was a fairly large L-shaped desk where a young blonde girl was sitting, glaring at me like I was the worst thing in the world. I threw her a confused look before I saw her eyes shift to something - or rather someone - beside her. I pulled my confused gaze away from the secretary and towards a very handsome man.

He was tall, around 6,2", his hair was a black shaggy mess around his head and face, looks like he just got out of bed. His skin was tanned and the muscles in his arms were making the leather he was wearing look very tight. I looked up at his face and saw a square jaw with a 5-o'clock shadow covering it. What caught my attention the most were his huge eyebrows! It looked like two fat black caterpillars decided to sit above his dark brown, almost black eyes that stared right at me. My god, if he doesn't do something about those eyebrows soon I'm going to have to do it for him.

"Scar, Reece, in my office ... now," Boss bellowed from behind the double doors that I had so rudely opened and exposed him.

My body gave an involuntarily shudder at the memory. I stood up from my chair and made my way into his gigantic office. I wondered who Reece was, was it the guy that was staring at me before? I shifted slightly while walking to see the same guy following behind me. I guess he was Reece then.

Boss motioned us to sit in the leather chairs in front of him. The hchairs were hard and uncomfortable; I wish I had just stayed standing.

"Now, the reason why I have called you both here today is because I have a mission for you to complete together. This is the hardest assignment our company has ever had so you must not screw it up whatsoever," you could tell that Boss meant what he was saying, his voice was hard and full of authority, "I have chosen you two to work together because you are the most capable assassins I have seen in a long time."

"Cut to the chase Boss, what's the mission," my grumpy mood was taking over me as he stalled what the mission was. I loved the fact that he was flattering us but I really needed a nap.

"Oh, yes well ..." He cleared his throat before diving into the briefing, "There is a notorious drug lord as well as murderer who has been on our list for a while now. He haven't been able to track him properly till now, we have received word that he desires to be the president of France. He has a lot of security guarding him constantly and rarely leaves his home unless it's for a political debate. I want you two to find a way to infiltrate his security and exterminate him before the final debate and election. We have no idea if he has any family or friends, we have no idea if he even has a weak point in his life." He looked at us both before continuing, "I want you both to travel to Paris and dig up as much research as possible to find a weak point and then use it. You will have a month to complete the mission"

Wow, this really did sound big...

Boss cleared his throat once, looking at Reece and me individually in the eye, "So, any questions about the mission?"

I saw the Reece guy's hand move up in the air, what is he doing? It was like he was back in elementary school.

The boss's brows furrowed as he looked at Reece with a confused expression, "yes Reece?"

He placed his hand back in his lap quickly, he must have realised what he did, his flushed the slightest tinge before regaining their composure.

"Who is she?" Reece jerked his head in my direction; his voice dripped with venom as he side-glanced me.

Oh no he didn't!

Reece's P.O.V

Like hell I was going to work with someone like her! She looked like an absolute bimbo! Sure she was hot as but the fact that she just tried to storm in on our boss doing only god knows what, just proves she a dumb brat.

I side glanced her and saw that her deep green eyes were glaring at me and her lips were in a hard line.

I narrowed my eyes back at her. I don't need a partner for this mission.

"Reece, this is Scarlet. She is the leading assassin, not to mention she has the most experience in killing and also weapons, hacking and disguising," The chief's eyes glinted with pride as he talked about the girl.

I felt my eyes grow a little bigger as I looked at the girl who was now poking her tongue out at me. Like hell she could be all of those things, she must be cheating somehow.

The chief cleared his throat which made Scarlet's attention turn back to the Chief, "Scarlet, this is Reece. He is one of our newish recruits, he has shown amazing potential that I want you to help unlock with him."

Scarlet went bug-eyed at the Chief, "You can't be serious. I have to spend a month with this guy to 'unlock his potential'! Boss, my brother graduated today and will be going off to college in a few weeks! I won't be here when he leaves and he will be gone when I come back!" Her eyes pleaded with the Chief's as she tried to get her way out of the mission, "Please, just delay the mission till Trey leaves, and then I'll go to Paris by myself and kill him the night before the election!"

The Chief looked at her as if she were insane, "Scar I can't do that. I know you have a home life as well as this one but I need you to do this mission for me. It's the biggest mission our firm has ever gotten."

Scarlet's face fell in sadness, her head hung from her neck and if I didn't know any better, it looked like she was very interested in the ground.

The Chief sighed in defeat, "How about this Scar, if you complete the mission in the time given. I will give you a year off to do whatever you want to do. There will be no emergency calls or killings. I promise, and this one I won't break."

Scarlet's head snapped up to the Chief's as she grinned from ear to ear. She ran out of her chair and hugged him, "thank you so much Boss! I love you!" Her eyes were shut tight but when she opened them her face became one of horror.

"WHY THE HELL DON'T YOU OWN PANTS!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran back around the desk.

"BOTH OF YOU! OUT NOW!" the Chief yelled.

We both scurried out of the room and closed the double doors behind us. We were both leaning against when we heard, "the information has already been sent out to your addresses. Make sure you look over it!" His voice boomed over the wooden doors.

"Okie dokie boss!" Scarlet yelled and picked herself off the door. She began to walk down the hallway with a skip in her step.

I couldn't but stare after her. My eyes trailed up and down her body till it rested on her curvy ass, dayum girl! Could she get any hotter?

A small laugh made me snap out of the trance I was in, "If we are gonna be with each other for a month. I suggest you find more subtle ways of looking at my ass," Scarlet winked at me and blew a kiss before strutting out of the hallway and out of my sight.

Well, the next month was going to be very interesting.
