Fight for Love: Chapter 35

"M-My en-engagement, sir?" My stuttering words gave me away, I was in shock. My hands were tightly clenched at my sides, I was breathing heavily and my knees felt weak. Head spinning I watched as he walked over to stand in front of the windows, gazing out of them, he chuckled.

"Don't sound so nervous Sakura," He clasped his hands behind his back,"I'm not here to send you to prison, or anything like that."

Shaking my head to clear the haze that clung to my brain I force myself to sound strong,"Then why are you here, sir?" My tone was clipped and I didn't really mean for it to be.

"You see I have some... Pressing matters that has been brought to my attention." He turned slightly eyeing me up and down. I tensed up underneath his heavy gaze, but met his eyes anyway, resisting the urge to flinch away. He grinned, a flash of satisfaction brightening his eyes,"They told me you didn't like being looked down upon, that not really anybody frightened you. I can now see that that is true." He turned back to the window,"Maybe that spark of deviance is what drawn Erwin to you. Or maybe it was your sense of combat. I wouldn't know. "

I arched an eyebrow, relaxing my shoulders, I cocked my head,"Sir?"

"Ignore my rambling,"He waved a hand dismissively,"We have more pressing matters."

Pursing my lips in confusion I nod my head,"I guess we do, don't we?"

"I understand that you've been transferred here, because of you're engagement with Erwin Smith?"

"Yes sir."

"Do you know if your situation has been brought in front of my cabinet and I?" His tone was formal. Yet there was something underlying his words that causes my ears to perk, is he testing me?

Deciding it would be best to tell him what Erwin, Levi and I thought I open my mouth and say,"Erwin believes that if Trent really did bring my situation in front of the cabinet than a member of the cabinet would come to retrieve me from my previous position not Trent himself."

"Are you implying that he was able to pass fake transferring papers? That he was able to cover up your engagement?" Another test maybe?

"Wouldn't you of all people know whether or not he did?" I question in return.

"Answering a question with an even better one,"He smirks,"You definitely have your father in you." He sighs,"To answer your question yes I should know."

"Should?" With a perplexed expression I take a tentative step toward him.

"There are no indication in the recent records that has to do with your transferring." He turns toward me fully facing me now,"In other words Trent has broken more than one rule and somehow stopped us from making a copy of the transferring papers."

"So, he has mole?"

"Had." Zackly corrects,"He had a mole. I was able to find his companion and I took him out of the job."

"But if you're aware of Trent-"

"To bring this information in front of the cabinet I need evidence,"He smirks,"And one hell of a distraction."

"Why would you need a distraction?" My eyes follow him as he walks to the door and wraps a hand around the knob.

"With a distraction I'd be able to divert the cabinets attention from your...predicament."The sun glinted off of his glasses and it reminded me so much of Hanji it hurt a little,"Do you think you can handle it?"

I salute him, a glimmer of hope shining in my eyes,"Yes sir!"

"Good." He opened the door,"I look forward to hearing from you soon." With a nod of his head, he stepped out of my office and shut the door behind him.
