Chapter 31 - Revenge 30: Youth Days (2) (1/2)

”Shut your mouth.

When she said that Zack immediately obeyed her. He doesn't have the guts to talked back to her. He's afraid that if he does there's no more tomorrow for him.

Zack realizes that he's being a wimp in front of this woman. He's never been like this to anyone and yet this woman can make him bowed down to her like nothing. His pride is starting to deplete because of this unknown woman.

Mary was about to speak to him again when the doorknob was slowly turning. Without much of a choice, Mary hid behind the door as it slowly opened. A middle-aged man came in sight wearing a black suit and black glasses, the way he dressed he looked like he's from the movie ”Men in Black”.

”Excuse me, young sir, did a young woman came in here?” He asked.

Zack couldn't speak, he doesn't know what to respond to his question. He secretly looks behind the door and saw Mary who's getting ready to take down that guy. The middle-aged man noticed his line of sight and was about to look behind the door when Zack spoke to stop him, ”No one else came in my room except you mister and please get out I need to rest.” Zack's voice was steady and full of authority. The man just nodded and left the room.

Zack let out a heavy sigh, his heart was beating too fast. Who was that man? He looked so dangerous and what was this woman did to him? Zack turns his head towards Mary's direction.

”Why didn't you tell him that I was here the whole time?” She asked.

Zack didn't respond to her. He's debating on whether he should answer her question or not. Noticing that he's not answering her question she frowned and asked, ”Why are you not answering me?”

”Because you said shut my mouth,” Zack said in a low voice but it's enough for Mary to hear.

”When I asked you, you speak and I ask again, why didn't you tell him that I was here the whole time?”

”Because he looked dangerous and I think a girl like you can't handle him since you're hiding here.” Mary's mouth twitches in annoyance by what Zack just said. The way she interprets it, he must have thought that she was just a fragile one that can be easily broken.

”Is that so?” The coldness in her voice was very clear. 'Is there something that I just said wrong?' Zack said his mind.
