Chapter 9 - Kick Ass Girl (2/2)
Ben said to James. The elevator stopped at their floor. The two got out.
”But I must admit, this sweet Thai girl has got the power. She can make the boss's temperature goes up like a rocket bursting the sky. Ha Ha!”
Ben made more jokes. This was new to their team, Ben would make sure the rest of the bodyguards knew what just had happened. But however, he had to make sure that it was well behind the boss's back! Otherwise, their backsides would get kicked, hard!
”Okay, let's get serious. We've got work to do. Where the hell should we start this time? I've run out of ideas.” James changed the topic.
”Well, I'm feeling half dead right now. Let's called it a night, tomorrow is not here yet.”
Ben put if off. James looked at his partner and shook his head.
”I don't know why you're half dead when it was me who ran after the girl, and you're just resting your badass in the car.
”So I guess you're also half dead. See you in the morning, buddy. Let's pray that we have some luck tomorrow.”
Ben concluded, slapped James's shoulder. James sighed and nodded since he was tired as Ben said. He walked into his bedroom, felt heavy in his head when thinking about the big assignment.

Wirata did not come to the restaurant that week. She told everyone there if anybody came and asked for her, just said they did not know anything.
Later, Supa told her that there were some guys came and asked for a woman named Violet. Wirata knew straight away it was THEM, the bad mafia's men. And Supa made sure the staff not to tell them anything, just like Wirata asked.
The following week, Wirata came to help her mother at the restaurant by entering the back door. She was very careful when leaving as well. At the age of eighteen, in the city that was full of influent people made Wirata became prudent and wise. She was glad that she had followed her mother's advice about taking Taekwondo and Karate lessons.

One month later
”Very good! for one fucking month and still can't find her!”
The insulting loud voice made James and Ben jumped and gave their boss sheepish smiles.
”Ah, we've looked everywhere, boss. She might be just passing by and she might be from Boston. And had already gone back. Um, I think, maybe, forgetting her is the easiest way. She's just a girl, there are many beautiful models and movie stars out there waiting for you to call.”
James said, tried to be brave to suggest the boss, which sometimes he listened. But this time as soon as James finished, the boss roared and sent a sharp gaze saying YOU ARE DEAD! That made Jame's hair stood up! Felt the cold in his spine!
”You probably forget who I am, James! Do I have to remind you?”
Stefan said to his bodyguard who dared to suggest such things that he would never do in a million years. James shut his mouth immediately and stepped backward right that minute.
”I don't like anyone to challenge my power. If I didn't teach that girl to know who she is dealing with. you two don't ever expect to rest until you found her. Understand?”
James and Ben nodded instantly, knowing that apart from the girl who would not have peace, it was the two of them too, who would not be able to sleep peacefully.
The woman was really had power over the boss's thoughts without him realizing, and she hadn't done much at all. James couldn't imagine what's gonna happen if they really met face to face. Somehow, James had a strange sixth sense feeling sending a strong signal to his mind that this woman would be the woman God sent to teach the special lessons to Stefan Mackenzie. James did not know what, but he bet he was right!
”Just take your chicken shit face out of this room, and come when you have the woman.”
Stefan waved his hand unhappily to his men. James and Ben did not hesitate for a second to disappear with a relief!
Sam Just arrived here at the family hotel. He stayed in a suite room in the family private zone. He did not want to stay at the penthouse because knowing that his brother liked his one space and privacy.
”Hey, what happened? You two look like shit.”
Sam greeted James and Ben at the penthouse door when the bodyguards just walked out.
”The big storm's spinning inside.”
Ben answered. They were close, could say that the Mackenzie family took their bodyguards into the family, not like servants, but more like friends and brothers.
”What? Now? Why?” Sam asked with a surprise.
”Long story. But, you better go see your brother first. Maybe you could make him feel better.”
James suggested Sam. They did not feel frightened when it was Sam. But Stefan was another story. The bodyguards felt both love and respect with fear. Stefan was raised to be a strong leader, to lead the Mackenzie Enterprise, so his characters were nothing soft nor gentle.
”Alright, you two aren't looking good, go get fresh air. I'll be here for a week. You can tell me the whole story later.”
Sam said then walked to the penthouse.
