CAYDEN POV

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

Gilbert fumed and paced around the house, Fred offered me to kill her and Jason held me in his arms. They even offered to go jogging with me to make me feel better. 

''Fred, I need to go to work.''

''I know''

''I punched Carter''

''I know.'' When he realised what I said, he turned violently on the couch and screamed,'' WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?'' I covered my ears and screamed back.

''I SAID THAT I PUNCHED CARTER.'' His turn to cover his ears. Haha, take that.

Jason and Gilbert came running from the kitchen. It's like their second home. yep, I'm better.

''WHAT?'' Both of them shouted. Fred and I pounced on them. They struggled beneath us like mice. Gilbert rolled over me and pinned my arms above my head, I kicked in his stomach and he yelped. Five minutes later, we were all panting hard like dogs, still laughing. I got up rushed to washroom. I was going to be late.

I decided to forgive Carter because my baby stood in front me, all well. I wonder how bad his bruise is. It would be fun. I put on a white shirt and navy blue pants, grabbed my bag and kissed the boys goodbye.

''Hey Alice'' I greeted. She smiled at me, ''Have you seen? Mr. Williams has a bruise. I wonder who punched him. I definitely love him already.'' I giggled internally.

''I just came now, Alice.'' She didn't even listen to me. She just bragged about how brave and strong the guy must be. I rolled my eyes and walked away leaving her to talk to herself.

''Good morning, Mr. Williams.'' I put on an innocent smile on my face. I didn't miss the purple mark on his jaw. 

''Good morning, I need you to send these mails to the Carlos and Co, now.'' 

''Yes sir.''

''You have a meeting with Mr. Carlos at five pm, sir.'' He nodded

The rest of the day went pretty smooth. Carter was back to normal. I mean,  from the 'busy mode to 'cheerful' one. 

''Cayden, want to join for lunch?'' Carter asked. At least he's not ordering this time.

''Ok.'' I walked out and joined him. Bryan was already waiting for us. Man, he was never busy. He pulled me into a hug,'' How are you feeling today? I don't want a punch today.'' I laughed.

''Don't worry, no punches if you're good.'' I smirked at Carter. As we made our way, less people brushed past us and it was then we noticed we were surrounded by men. They wore a uniform and looked almost similar. Tall, Well built and they moved smoothly. I don't want to die. 

Carter looked behind, ''Where are the guards?''

''You sent them back, remember?'' I reminded him.

He muttered a quick 'F*** me' and stood in front of me. Protecting me? 

''Hello Mr. Williams.'' A man cooed.

Bryan was fast. He punched the man on the nose, '' Hello to you too, Mr. Who ever you are.'' He clutched his nose as the others came forward and held Carter and Bryan by their arms.

''Will, did boss say a thing about the woman?'' Bryan let a growl. An actual growl.

'' Cayden, go'' Carter ordered. ''GO'' He shouted as I didn't move.

One of them chuckled,'' She can't run anywhere, Mr. Williams.'' He came closer and put his arms around my waist. '' If he cares about you, then you must be good in.....'' I pushed him away and raised my hand to slap his shitty face but he caught my wrist and grinned.

''I knew you were going to slap me, gorgeous. That's what women do.'' I grinned back.

''Not me, pea brain.'' Before he could process what I said, I kicked him in his side. He fell to the ground, groaning. The second man, tried to grab me but I ducked and kicked him in the face.  I heard Carter mutter something under his breath and Bryan gasp. I smirked and rolled my white sleeves but it soon turned to a frown.

''You're hot. We could go on a date someday, handsome. You sure you want this?'' The poor man didn't even choose, I shrugged and punched him. Oops, that was pretty hard. Other idiot tried to grab my hair. I scowled, '' Not my hair, douche bag. Do you know how difficult it is to get it obey me? Of course, you wont.'' He stood rooted in his place at my sudden outburst. I took the chance and swept my legs under him. I grabbed him by his shirt, ''who sent you?'' Carter was by my side all of a sudden. I guess the men holding them fled. He slapped the man across his face and repeated the question I asked.

''Roberts. Blyze Roberts.'' 

''I knew it.'' Carter pushed the man away. I've never heard of Roberts before. He ran his hands through his hair. Bryan lifted me up and cheered.'' You are one hell of a badass.'' I laughed at his reaction. Carter grabbed my hands and turned it over. I think to inspect my knuckles. He looked flabbergasted. 

''It needs more than a few noses and abdomens for my knuckles to split, Mr. Williams.''

CARTER POV

I guess she was an assassin. Or a Ninja. Or.... 

I was interrupted by Bryan nudging me. I looked up to find Killian Anderson's palms over Cayden's eyes. She looked surprised and touched his hands. 

''Come on, whoever you are, show up. I have too many friends to identify.'' He removed his hands and huffed,'' Are you saying that I am not the special one, then?''

Son of a bitch.

Cayden turned around and laughed at Killian. She put her arms around him.

''Hi Killian.'' He kissed her cheek.

''Missed me?'' Cayden pretended to think. ''Nope. You want to join us?''

Don't. No way he's joining us.

''Of course''

Great!! 


Ooohhh. someone's jealous. There's something more, guys.
