REVENGE GIRL

Harley POV

“Cassie!” I heard his voice behind me, and a smirk laced up my lips. I glared daggers at the bitch that have been asking me numerous questions, before turning to face him, and of course as expected, he had a shocked look on his face. He shouldn’t be shocked yet, more of these are coming his way. I know you may be wondering why he had called me ‘Cassie’, of course, I wouldn’t be so daft to have told him my real name, right?NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Good day,” I smiled warmly, walking over to him while he still had that shocked expression on his face. He must be wondering how I got to know his restaurant, but if only he knows that everything about him is all in my head, he wouldn’t be shocked.

“What are you doing here?” He asked, puzzled and I pursed my lips like I felt guilty, but screw that.

“Sorry I came here, I was bored at home and I had to come here. I’m sorry,” I apologized and he sighed.

“Come with me,” He said and started walking away while I followed behind him. He lead me through a hallway and after a few seconds, he finally pushed the door of a room open and turned out that it was his office. Wow! What a beautiful place for an office.

“Come in,” He said, going to sit behind his chair while I followed him. I sat on the visitor’s chair, while he sat on his own with a blank look on his face, which depicts that he had so many things going on in his mind. An awkward silence crowded the air and I decided to speak up first.

“Uhm… I’m sorry if I bothered you, I… I was just bored and needed someone to talk to. I didn’t mean to hurt you,” I said, maintaining a sad and apologetic look.

“I’m not mad at you Cassie, I’m just concerned about you, OK? You shouldn’t have done that, coming here all alone. It’s dangerous out there, especially for a lady, so you have to be extra careful. How did you know about this place,” He explained and I snapped my head to look at him.

“You’re not mad at me?” I asked to be sure, and he nodded.

“Thank you. Your restaurant is quite famous I saw the tag when you brought food for me the other day, so I told the cabby that I was coming here, and thankfully, he brought me here directly,” I explained, and he mouthed an ‘oh’.

“Alright. You should call me next time when you are bored, instead of risking your safety and coming here,” He said and I nodded in agreement.

“You have tried for me, and I’m grateful for everything. You didn’t even know about my background and took me in, only a very few people would do that, especially in this time when there’s danger everywhere. You fed and clothed me, you’re a nice man. I don’t know how I’m going to repay you, but I hope you’ll give me a chance to do the little I can, as a token of my appreciation. I know this is not enough to pay you back, but I just want to show you how grateful I am. Would you let me work here?” I said, and he chuckled while I looked at him confusingly wondering why he was giving me the reaction.

“Come on, Cassie. You don’t have to work for me to show appreciation, alright? I did what I did for the sake of humanity and I don’t think it’ll be necessary to pay me back for it. There’s no need to return the favor, OK?” He objected and I shook my head.

“I know you’re not asking to be paid back for it, but I just want to do this, I insist,” I said, and he sighed softly, as he seemed to be thinking about it.

“Cassie, I…” The sound of his ringing phone cut him off, and he quickly picked up his phone like he was hiding the caller. Of course, I’m smart enough to know where the call would be coming from, but I won’t act suspicious.

“Excuse me, I’ll be back,” He said and with that, he left to the balcony of his office to answer the call.

My lips slowly twitched into a smirk. Just the perfect space I have been looking for. I came here for a mission, and not because I was bored or something. I need to get every necessary information I would need and to do that, I have to spy on him and that’s exactly what I’m doing. Bringing the mini camera out of my pocket, I fixed it swiftly under his desk, and trust me when I say that there’s no way anyone can ever discover it, I’m being serious. The only person that can know that a camera is there, is the person that fixed it, which means me. Even if someone is to clean under the desk, there’s no way they’ll ever discover it, that’s what makes me a smart young lady.

The camera was already connected to the sound transmitter in the base camp, and also to my phone. I won’t have to convey information to them, they would get it directly from the transmitter.

His footsteps pulled my attention and raised my gaze, I found him looking at me weirdly like he suspected that I did something, but Harley is too smart to fall for his tricks.

“Cassie, you don’t have to do that, you know? But if you insist, I’ll agree to it, only on one condition. If ever you don’t feel good about this anymore, do not hesitate to quit, alright?” He said, and I nodded.

“I will remember to do that,” I said and he nodded with a smile playing on his lips, but behind the smile, I could see the numerous thoughts in his mind. Let the game begin, the loser will be announced later in the grave…
