Undercover

Chapter 20

<RECAP>

I entered the lobby and looked around for that someone when my eyes widened in horror as I heard a familiar husky voice.

"Hey love, can we go now? It's 7 on the dot"
--------------------------------------------------------------

Emma's P.O.V

"How did you find me here?", I asked as I eyed him suspiciously.

He gave me a non-committal shrug and then smirked.

"Well I knew you would ignore me, so I had my men stalk you and got to know that you were here, meeting up with your father's friend, who you consider as a fatherly figure", he then continued, his smirk widening with each word.

My jaw dropped when I heard the latter part.

Damn! He seems to know alot about me.

Does that mean he knows that I work for the IAE?

Hopefully not, because the department has made sure to keep their secret agents on cover to this date.

I shook my head and composed myself.

"What if I don't want to come with you?", I sneered back.

"Well, unfortunately for you, I didn't give you a choice", was his instant smug reply.

Seems like he's enjoying this alot.

Anger bubbled inside me making my fists clench in irritation.

Ha! As if I would let him have the upper hand.

"Look, if you're thinking that I am jobless, well YOU ARE WRONG! I have an important work to get done by tonight. And even if I am free I won't come with you because you and I, we don't mix together. So yeah keep your arrogance to yourself and let me be in peace", I snapped at him with a pointed glare as his eyes bored into mine.

I watched his eyes turn a dark shade of blue, almost black, losing the little amusement that was playing in them.

My heart skipped a beat as he took predator like steps towards me.

I unconsciously swallowed hard.

Oops!

Seems like I awoke the beast inside.

I mentally slapped myself.

"You should have told him in a much more presentable way Emma!",the inner me screamed.

What?

No way! She's crazy.

He deserved it.

I shut her down and focused on my predator. To say that I wasn't nervous would be an utter terrible lie. Yet, I wasn't the type of girl who would cower away and submit to a manhandling devil like him.

So I did what most people like me would do.

I stood my ground, raised my chin high and squared my shoulders as I glared at him with full force, daring him to take a step further.

His lips curled upwards as his eyes watched my daring stance in amusement. He took another step forward, his smirk widening even further as he watched my eyes narrow at his actions.

That arrogant brute!

I was about to remove my shoe and throw at him, when all of a sudden I was pulled forward making my hands land on his chest for support.

I felt his arms snake around my waist, pulling me closer as his after shave smell hit my nose making me almost dizzy. I looked up into his eyes only for my heart to get caught in my throat, knocking me completely out of breathe. Fireworks errupted within my stomach making me almost forget the fact that he was having the upper hand right now.
