Half an hour ago. In Aeron's office.
"What is your purpose coming here?" Aeron asked as soon as he entered the room.
He was slightly taken aback at the bright red color in her hair. Last time he saw her, it was a gradient of blonde and bright pink.
"Aren't you even going to ask how I am?" Adrianna Zain, or simply Ria, pouted at her cold Boss. She really didn't know what Aisha sees in her Boss.
He's so cold, emotionless and indifferent, and he doesn't have a sweet bone in his body--- err, nevermind, Aisha is probably the same as him. Ria will never believe in "opposite attracts" again.
"How's your mission?" Aeron deadpanned, his eyes narrowing at her. She is seating on his swivel chair like she is the Boss. Aside from Aisha, Adrianna is the only one who dares to provoke him.
Remind him again why she is one of his most trusted subordinate?
Adrianna Zain, one of the members of the main family of the Lumière famiglia. Her joyful and childish personality is known to everyone but don't be decieved for she is said to be as ruthless as Aisha when provoked.
Adrianna pouted even more. Why did she have a cold Boss like him!? "What do you expect? Of course, I completed the mission! All the information regarding about the exploitation of the government officials are already in the hands of Sky-sky, also I have killed most of the subordinates of the officials while some are left for interrogation and to stand as witness if ever."
"Good," Aeron nodded and Ria was about to feign a cry of happiness when she hears him praised her but her happiness is short live at Aeron's next word. "Now you can leave or I'll have Freki do it to you."
"Boss, don't be so cruel!" Ria almost cried. She met Freki earlier for she is the one who throws him into the torture room and she knew that Aeron mean it. She rose from her seat and with a blink of an eye, she appears in front of Aeron with his shirt in her hands. "You can't drive me out of here! I still have something to talk to you!"
Some of the buttons in his shirt become undone, and Ria accidentally scratched his skin. Aeron wasn't a bit surprise at Ria's strength and speed. She was the strongest woman in his main family, after all. However, it doesn't mean Aeron will tolerate her childish act.
His eyes darken, enclosing his hand in her wrist, he forcefully push her grip to his shirt. Ria winced at his tight grip, and almost cried in pain when Aeron twisted her wrist, dislocating it in the process.
Boss! You're so ruthless! I'm still a woman! Can't you be a gentleman!?
Forget it, except for Aisha, Aeron is expected to be ruthless to everyone.
"What do you want?"
Ria was still lamenting and mocking Aeron in her mind, but her eyes shone when she heard Aeron's question. She is definitely a type of person who can give someone a scare with her quick change of mood.
"Boss, I want to go on a vacation!" She exclaimed.
"No!" Aeron immediately rejected.
"What!? Boss, why?" Ria look pitifully at Aeron, hoping her charm will soften his cold heart. The result is expected, Aeron didn't even bat an eyelid at her so-called cuteness. "I have completed my mission! So, why!? Even a koala will have some rest! This is abusive of employees!"
"Are you a koala?"
"... no."
"Then shut up"
"..." Ria wanted to cry but she had no tears to shed. "Boss~"
"Don't think that I don't know that you have already completed your mission a month after you accept the mission but dragged it for another year and fool around the city."
"Can you change your term? I feel like Reid when you said fooling around the city." Ria grimaced, excuse him but she never been with any man. She's proud to say that she's still has her V card at the age of 25.
Back at the main family's manor.
"Achoo!" Reid groans, and sniff. Reaching for the tissue, he lamented, who's cursing him?
Amber, who's beside him, looks at him before reverting her eyes at her laptop, he moves a step away from him. "Germs." She mutters.
Back at Aeron's office.
"Boss! Please! It will only be half a year! No, three months! Please, boss! Allow me!" Ria was already in her knees.
"No." Aeron sternly rejected, his cold eyes penetrate Ria which made her trembles in fear. "You know the situation now. We're facing an unknown enemy."
Adrianna pouted, he has so many forces under him, she won't make any difference if she's not there to help.
"You can take a vacation after this."
"Yehey!" Ria immediately rose from her knees. She was tempted hug him but she didn't want a dislocate arms now, do she? "You're really the best Boss ever! Okay, I'm off to those idiots back at home!" Ria run off towards the door but stopped when she heard Aeron's voice.
"Wait."
Ria turns around and flash him a big smile. "What is it Boss? Do you need something? I'll comply if it's within my amazing capabilities!" She laughs, needless to say that she is in a good mood.
"Hand me the pictures you took when you followed Aisha and I."
"..."
Back at Present Time.
"Is there a problem?" Aeron asked, becoming aware of Aisha's murderous look.
Aisha laughs sarcastically. It was the first time Freki and the man hears her laugh and it already sent them chills.
Still had the guts to ask me that question!? Scam, you bàstard!
