Agent 1 (Book 3)

42. It's over

Thirteen's POV

Two Weeks Later . . .

"Lily, I'm supposed to be reading those forms, not having you make paper airplanes out of them."

Lily stops folding the paper long enough to shoot me a devilish smile. "I need some entertainment," She says. "When I agreed to come back to your office to help out with all this company crap you have to do, I was expecting to have a TV to watch. You're seriously disappointing me."

I look up at her from the stack of papers in front of me. She throws the newly made paper airplane at me.

She suddenly gets a very devious look in her eyes. "How pissed do you think Chase would be if I corrupted his fiancé?"

I shake my head. "He will kill you," I tell her. "And I didn't even know you knew she was his fiancé."

Lily smiles widely. "I pick up things here and there."

"Leave Megan alone," I tell her, turning my attention back to the papers on my desk.

Lily scoffs. "It's not like I'd do anything to bring harm to the girl. I like her. I'd just bring out the inner fire within her. She's a little too quiet for my taste."

"You've already scared her when you tried to bring Angel into the building. She doesn't need you doing anything else. Chase will kill you if his fiancé dies of fright. And then I'll have to hire another assistant. I don't like conducting interviews and pouring over resumes."

"Why should it concern you to hire another assistant? I thought you were planning on signing the company over to her anyway."

I hear something drop in the doorway and look up to see Megan completely wide eyed, mouth dropped open and in shock, a stack of folders at her feet.

I turn my attention back to Lily. "On the list of things I wanted kept quiet . . ."

Lily scowls at me. "How was I supposed to know she was standing there? It's not as if she's wearing a bell."

"Have you roped her into the category of pet? Why would she wear a bell?"

Megan looks like she wants to say something but doesn't know what. She's saved from having to say anything when Devin loudly throws open the doors and parades into my office.

"Nice entrance," I say sarcastically. "Are you trying to audition for a movie?"

"He wishes," Jason mutters as he walks through the door with Zack and Chase in tow. Chase stops to help Megan pick up all the folders that were dropped.

"Have you seen Sam today?" He asks me as he stacks the last of the folders.

I shake my head. "I was going to go visit him as soon I finished with this." I gesture to the papers on my desk.

"Don't bother," Chase says. "He's not at the hospital any longer."

"What?" I question. "Why?"

"Because someone snuck him out this morning."

I turn to Lily. She looks at me, her eyes sparkling with devilish mischief. "He said he felt fine."

I groan and run a hand through my hair. "You're not supposed to listen to him. You're supposed to listen to the doctors."

Lily shrugs, not at all sorry. "He wanted out of the hospital, and he promised me another cake if I helped him. Who was I to say no?"

I give her a flat look. "And where did you take him?"
