"I know who you are", he says with a smirk on his face. I look him straight in the eye, not scared of him.
"Then who am I?" I ask curious.
"I have seen a lot of you and trust me they never succeeded. We kill people like you", he looks at me like I am his prey and he the predator.
But I am well trained for this and I have earned a reputation back at the organization.
"Oh really? Well as a drug lord, I can tell you that I did that too", I say with a smirk.
He clenches his jaw and stands up with light speed. Honestly, it takes me off guard. But I have become a pro at poker faces and keeping calm in every possible situation.
Keep your head cool.
Breathe.
Don't get intimidated.
"You should watch your mouth in front of me", he says becoming angry.
"I do whatever I want, because you are not my boss yet", I say, calmly.
And in a split second I get pinned against the door. This also catches me off guard but I recover fast.
"Will you let go of me?" I ask while I try to break free.
"What will you do if I don't?" He challenges me. I raise an eyebrow and look at him with an amused face.
"Oh", I whisper acting innocent. He doesn't know I took fighting classes, he doesn't know that I am an agent, a spy and he doesn't know how many people I have killed.
After a moment of silence a smirk appears on my face and I strike. Now it is my turn to pin him to the ground and to show him not to mess with Miss Kim.
