Chapter 30 - Conflict (2/2)

”What did you call me?” She asked somewhat pissed.

He sighed and turned to him again.

”Look, I don't care who you worked for, as long as you don't tell anyone about what you heard, I will ignore you like I always do.”

They weren't friends. It was actually the first time they talked to each other. He knew her because she was always following Peggy.

”You're funny. You didn't have the courage to tell her directly. You were confessing when she was sleeping. That was weird.” She chuckled.

She was making him pissed. He thought it was a relief that Missy was the one who heard him, but she was beginning to get on his nerves.

”Missy!” He called while glaring at her.

”Fine. Fine. I won't say anything anymore but you know these days, not everything is free.” She suddenly blurted.

He frowned. She's now going to ask something from him. He took a deep breath, tweaked his hair while brushing his palm against his face.

”Alright! Tell me what do you want?” He asked.

”Hmm. I'll think about what I want carefully then I will tell you. Meet me here in three days.” She answered.

He rushed towards her feeling so pissed. He held on to her arms again, slamming her against the bookshelf.

”Don't order me around, Missy. That will be the last time I will answer your demands. Make sure to think about what you would ask me or else you will know who I really am.” He said, clenching his jaw.

He knew she wasn't the type of girl who would fear him. She wasn't a personal bodyguard for nothing. But he needed to make sure that she would not say anything to Nina.

He wasn't ready to tell her his feelings in person. All the things he said earlier were just a spur of the moment. He wanted Nina to fall for him first. He wanted her to take back the deal she made with him.

Missy was about to talk back to her when they both heard a voice, making him feel nervous. It was Nina.

”Andrew? Is that you?” Nina asked while staring at the two figures in the dark part of the library.

She frowned, trying to figure out who the other person was with her fiance. She was shocked when a little moonlight suddenly lit up the library.

Andrew became anxious. He looked at Missy and then he realized that they were in an awkward position. Missy was against the bookshelf, his hands were holding her arms. His face was a little closer to her because he was whispering when he talked to her earlier. His lower wasn't really pressed against Missy but if someone would look at them from afar, they would definitely think that they are doing something lewd.

He suddenly let her go and turned to Nina who was still shocked. She was just standing there and not saying any word.

”Nina, I can explain.” He said.

She curled her lips and he saw her eyes were starting to be filled with tears.

”I really couldn't put my trust in you..” She blurted, then turned around and walked out of the library.
