Chapter 30 - Conflict (1/2)

”What I want to say is… I-I”

'Thud'

He frowned and looked at the direction from where the sound came. He stood up and walked towards the last bookshelf.

His eyes widened when he saw who it was.

”What the hell are you doing here, Missy?” He almost yelled.

The girl stood up and straightened herself, fixing her hair and clothes. Staring at the girl who was also startled, it seemed like she was on the library ladder then fell. He was sure she was already there when he entered the library.

”This is Queens. I also lived here.” She answered in sarcasm.

She was right. Everyone in this house could freely enter any room here except for the master's bedroom and Luke's office.

Missy was a classmate of Alora, Peggy and Emily. She was also one of the bodyguards of Peggy. She was a petite girl, with black shoulder length hair, black eyes and about Nina's height. She heard she was trained by Miller Security Corporation at a very young age.

”I know that. But why are you still here? It's midnight.” He asked with a frown face.

”I was reading a book with Nina but she fell asleep so I came to this spot to look for some other books, that's when you suddenly came.” She explained.

She wasn't looking at him. Seeing her face blushing, right there, he already knew she heard everything he said earlier.

”D-Did you hear anything?” He still asked, making sure she really heard every word.

He was crossing his fingers, wishing that he was talking in a low voice when he said those words. But she nodded, confirming his thoughts.

”How much did you hear?” He asked again.

He was beginning to get worried and embarrassed at the same time. How could he be so stupid? But it was still a good thing that it was Missy who heard it. If it was one of her best friends, he's doomed.

”Ahm… Like everything? From the moment you asked her if she felt caged like Rapunzel because you somehow stole her from her parents until you almost confessed and said the ”L” word.” She answered.

This time she was looking at him like she was about to laugh. He looked at Nina who was still sleeping on the couch, checking if she moved a little. When he was sure that Nina was still asleep, he walked towards Missy and grabbed her arms.

”If you ever say a single word to Nina, I swear I will make sure you will be transferred to another client.” He said with gritted teeth.

Missy laughed. ”You know you cannot do that, right? I mean I worked for the Miller's and not some lower rank family.

She was right. The Miller Clan was one of the most powerful families in the country. They belong to the top five. His family belongs to the top ten, still lower than the Miller's.

”But don't worry, your secret is safe with me as long as no one asks me about it.” She said with a smirk on her face.

”Bitch.” He whispered when he let her go and turned his back on her.
