Chapter 122 - One Hundred And Twenty-two : An Annoying Fly (2/2)

The intruder let go of her while cursing out in pain, a satisfied grin appeared on her lips - one point for her.

Emily at once tried to reach for the metal bat but he stepped on it before she could succeed.

”Fine” She cracked her neck in an intimidating manner, ”Don't underestimate me, I am a black belt ” She decided to threaten him albeit borrowing that line from Maya.

”Yeah, it's so obvious,” He said but she could sense the sneer in his voice.

Confusion flickered in Emily's eyes, why did that voice sound oddly familiar. She tipped her head to the side trying to make out his features but his hood didn't help her sight.

”Do I know you by chance? ” She asked, hopefully.

”Thought you would never ask ” He spat sarcastically and pulled off his hood.

”Slap me, ” Emily said inwardly. It was HSF: Handsome Stoic face. How could she not recognize him?

Ombre sun-kissed hair swept to the side and covering a part of his charming blue-green eyes. He was Niklaus's wingman? Chauffeur? Secretary? Bodyguard? Personal assistant?

Emily couldn't tell what he does exactly, all she knew was that you couldn't find Niklaus without him at his side. But what was he doing at her place at this ungodly hour?

”What are you doing at my place by this time of the night? You didn't even give me any notice, I mistakenly took you for a burglar” Emily questioned him severely

She then clapped loudly twice in a row and the light bulbs came alive, bringing life to her place.

”Do you know I almost harmed y.. ?” Emily trailed off when she saw the bruise forming around his eye. What the f*ck, she gave him a black eye! When did she even become this strong?

”I'm so sorry, that must hurt ” She winced, her face scrunched up as if she were the one in pain.

”It's nothing ” He grumbled, pulling off his gloves and tossing it on the glass table resting in the center of her parlor.

” Why are you here? ”

”You moved out suddenly without informing your brother Niklaus, so he sent me here to ensure your place was safe and free of bugs. Who knew I would be the one in danger instead? ”

Emily bit down on her lips, the guilt was gnawing at her but she refused to believe it was entirely her fault.

”I wouldn't have hit you if you had hinted me of your coming, at least I'd be prepared ”

He glanced up with a mocking expression, ”I tried your cell phone, fifty times, you weren't picking ”

That was when she remembered, ”Oh, sorry about that, I kind of silenced my phone earlier while working on something ” she smiled apologetically but the person in question gave her a cold glare.

Fine, it was her fault. She would shoulder the whole blame and consequences.

”Take a seat, I'll be back,” Emily told him as she left for the kitchen. She quickly made an ice pack, wrapping it in a towel to avoid making direct contact with the skin when applied.

”Tsk, he's so sharp,”  Emily thought inwardly, cause the moment she returned Judy's sight first fell on the ice pack in her grip.

”Thank you for your concern but I don't need that ” He refused her help before she could even offer.

Unfortunately, She wasn't tagged

”annoying fly ” by Niklaus for no reason.

Emily ignored him and took a seat beside him saying, ”Since you don't want to help your face, I'll help your face instead ”

Judy caught her hand before the ice pack could touch his face, why was she so damn annoying.

”Ouch! ” Emily cried out in pain and he instinctively let go of her hand.

Niklaus would surely skin him alive if anything were to happen to his lovely sister, not to talk of Adam. A chill ran down his back, he was definitely a dead man.

But it seems this annoying woman was a fox because her shout of distress turned out to be a trick - she deceived him.

Yet, his skills still came to life.

Few inches from meeting his face, he swatted the ice pack away from her grip but in the process pushed the young miss.

Startled to see her flapping her arms in the air while slipping off the sofa. Judy rushed forward to break her fall, unfortunately for him, her weight brought both of them to the floor with their lips joined together.
