Chapter 87 Go sleep on my bed

87 Go sleep on my bed

They went back to the office to proceed to work. But just as she was about to continue with her work. Her phone chimes as a notification and it was a message from Whiskey. She frown a little when she open the message.

It was the photo of Enzo—the great hacker in EPUA with Catriona who is covered with a blanket and was naked under, sleeping like nothing else matters. Enzo even captioned.

"I did that. I knock her out." The selfie that Enzo took was funny and adorable at the same time but she has no emotion attached to it. She was just concern about Catriona becoming a sex buddy for Enzo.

In her life, she detest man most. Their lust and their dominance makes her hate them. Just like her boss. He was flirty even to her. She has no right to act violent in that position of her since she's just getting ready for her next mission. The mission that was always meant for them to do and she will never—never let their boss down.

"How are you going to get a man?" Whiskey asked. She type on her phone.

"Fck off." She put away her phone and then it chimes again. She exhales and open it. It was a photo of her and her boss in the pizza parlor eating and talking.

"Tony Lawson isn't that bad. He's masculine and—maybe he's good at sex like Enzo. Enzo did satisfy Catriona." Whiskey was teasing her. So she just ignore his messages and then she goes on with her work.

The annoying telephone rings and she pick it up.

"Please come in." He said.She hang up and stood taking the documents that he needed to see.

She bends a little and to put it on his desk. He glance at it and he pointed his sleeping area that he had requested just few days ago since he couldn't go home because of loads of papers to do.

"You can sleep there. It's dangerous for you to drive yourself."

"It's alright. I have to finish some things and here are the documents you need. " She stands straight.

"Don't worry, I won't sleep with you there. I'll sleep on the couch."

The bed was really tempting. Her back aches and she needs a long sleep.

"It's past two." He said and type on the keyboard.

"So can I leave now?" She asked in very nice way.

"I am nice at offering you my bed." He said in very flirtatious way. She sneer and remove her glasses.

"Boss, you really think that I am that low to sleep in your bed?" He was surprise at her question. "Of course my body wants to sleep on my own bed. I am going back. I forget to send few emails." She went back to her office and had sent few emails. Then she sat down on the sofa and lay down after removing her shoes. She's just going to take a nap and will probably go home.

Tony was planning to sleep but he haven't heard from Veronica so he went to her office that is just outside his office and finds her sleeping on the sofa. He put his hands on his pocket and exhales. The stubbornness of this woman makes him want her more. She wasn't just attractive. He was into her. The way, she brushes her fingers through her hair was enough to stir him up.

And the way she adjust her eyeglasses was seductive in his eyes. But why her? Damn it, he has never been this attracted to anyone. This woman looking so innocent was tempting him. He try to flirt with her when they are alone and even tease her but she manage to turn the tables around. How did she do that? He went back to his lounging area and took a clean blanket.

He went back to her office and cover her. She was really asleep. He kneel in front of her and was about to reach the strand of her hair that cover her face when his hand was stopped by a strong grip. Her eyes opens and it was fierce not the usual Veronica he knew.

He was surprise on her reflexes and strong grip. He stare at her fierce eyes for a while and when Veronica realize that it was Tony. She sat up and pull her hand away.

"What are you doing?" She suddenly asked and used the blanket to cover her blouse where few buttons was open. He hands up.

"Just admiring." He said frankly. "I told you, go sleep on my bed. I can take the couch."

"I'm going home." She said and grabbed her eye glasses.

"I'll take you then."

"There's no need." She utter and quickly put her shoes on.

"You really think that I'll do something to you?" Tony asked as he turn around to her direction.

"If you are planning to do something… I think you are also digging your own grave." He laugh and shook his head.

"If we aren't in a situation like this, would you even consider to date me?" he asked frankly like they are in a normal relationship. Tony's heart was beating a little nervous. He wanted Veronica so much. He wanted her to be around him. He wanted her to be on his bed every morning as he wakes up.

Just once glance at her, he already knew that it was her that he wants to spend the rest of his life. He's willing to do anything just for her. They had been getting along like friends when they are alone. She's a cool person and a witty one.

"Mr. Lawson, I don't date men."

"So you prefer women?"

"I prefer to be alone." She said frankly.

"We haven't started yet but you are already rejecting me. We are both single people and can always mingle and even do more." He is indicating something. Propositioning. She chuckle pick her purse.

Veronica never thought that someone would approach her boldly. Whiskey did but all he did was to tease her and said that he likes her. But she never put it into consideration. She doesn't like anyone at all. She never had her first kiss, her first male hug, or even any contact with men. She hated men and the only contact she make is by breaking their bones and twisting their neck.

But this man was too bold that he is willing to tell her anything that he had in mind. Even when it's too—much. She never deny that she wasn't attracted to him but she has to remain platonic. Because being platonic would only make her survive. If Catriona didn't manage it, well she wasn't Catriona. They both have different pasts but they have the same path to take.

"It's been two months and you've been seducing me." Tony said as he sat down on the sofa tirelessly. She frown a little. Seducing him? How could she?

"When did I ever seduce you?"

"All of your actions that I notice—it seduce me. The way you push your hair at the back of your shoulder… the way you bit your lips. The way you adjust your glasses, everything seduce me. You only make me this miserable. Do you know that?"

She rose her brows. Too surprise from what he is confessing.

"I don't know that."

"That's because you are too ignorant and you dislike men. I could see that. Even the few males that came to your direction to hook up with you tried hard to get you. Remember in the bar? They tried hard just to get between your legs but you remain close and even almost killed them with your glare. But, my dear little secretary, those glare was the most seductive eyes you make—well beside of the fierce eyes you just make few minutes ago."

In her life, she is just now speechless from the man's bold confession? She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Then she suddenly laugh and smack her forehead.

"Damn it, I over did it." she mutter. She didn't meant to seduce him. She didn't plan on seducing anyone but is it because she got a good looks and good body? "Mr. Lawson, you haven't get laid yet. So you it is just effect of longing for release. Do you want me to book you at somewhere?" She pull her phone and started researching.

"No. I only want you." He said it straight and sharply.

"Then I am going."

"I'll walk you out."

She did let him walk her to the parking lot. Just when she's driving her car that the company lent to her. She watch him from the rear mirror and had a big thought inside her head. This has never happened to her before. She shook the thoughts.

"This isn't good. Your goal was your boss's orders. You have no right to fall into a trap. Lust and love was a trap." She mutter to herself. Just when she turn around the car, she felt that something was odd. But she keeps driving and brought out something under her skirt. "I am in a fucking trap." She twist the steering wheel to make the loader at the back bump on the corner.

She pointed the knife to the person behind her.
