129 Big Ball Of Mush (2/2)

He let out a snort and then went back to putting the corpses in the wanted formation.

”Don't mix pleasure with business, Mia. It's a dangerous thing. Once your rationality becomes blurry, you don't understand what is right and what is wrong. You lose suspicion. You become weak.” He huffed as he wiped the sweat off his brows. ”You don't have the time to be weak in this world. You die if you are weak, even if it is for just a moment.”

”What brought on this lecture, may I ask?” I was disturbed by how affected he sounded.

”I am happy to see you with Boss, truly. I mean, it's high time that he found someone he could confide in, but if you lose yourself in being only his confidant, you will suffer,” he gave me a meaningful look.

”You can rest a.s.sured that my life does not revolve around the obnoxious man. I know that he is a vice of mine, but I won't make the mistake of forgetting who I am to mould into the life he leads. Our paths are not the same, Ethan,” I admitted in a hushed tone.

”So you know that this will lead to doom?”

”Ethan... Why would I ponder on something that will probably never happen? We will never be together. We are incompatible. He is incorrigible and I hate him.” He snickered at that. ”Laugh all you want, but you will see.”

”Trust in yourself and your ability as a killer, girl. If anything can attract Anthony, it is a woman who can carry herself like he carries the gun. He searches for power in a woman, and I think he's found his match.”

”Shut up and do your work, you big ball of mush,” I elbowed him. ”Who knew that you of all people could be such a big romantic?”

”There is nothing romantic about attraction. It's carnal and inflammable, and you know it. It burns you alive.”

”And now you are a poet,” I chuckled.

”Pull up that last dude, will you? Let's get this over with,” he sighed and I nodded.
