'Colson, you are not capable to be an agent so do not join my team for the trials.' A ghost spatted out words that I do not want to hear, that type of ghost is the back of my head. I wanted to reject the sudden negative whispers in me, wanted to keep telling myself that it is not true, but of course it is one of the facts that I hid from myself. It is my demons. I pressed my hand on the door knob, I just arrived at my client's hospital room, I place my forehead at the door, letting out a stressed sigh, not good for men and I acted like I am having a period. 'Colson, Colson, when can you even start forgetting those words of your rival? And the damages he made?' I held the door knob hard like I am about to break it, and I wanted to take it away from its place, but I could not, because it is a matter of pulling away from the bad side of my emotions, I just have to try to keep calm in the pace that I am taking.
See, between me and my rival, there is always a bridge of 'Battling with Dominance', us men have an unruly strength. Practice the control. Stopping toxic environment.
I heard the door knob clicked, I peeked at my client. She is blinking her eyes at me; she must see how slow I am since her reaction on her face is frowning. "I did not know getting a water is takes a lot of time." She said as her gaze settled at the bottle I am holding, waiting to be handed to her, the main purpose. I don't intentionally try to make her angry due to my actions, but it is who I am.
My client reached her hand out, "So, are you just going to stand in silence? Or are you going to give me the water bottle I ask for?" She said with a thick indication of being impatient. "I am a patient, do not forget."
"Oh, I know Miss Owen."
She watched me as I walk towards her, a catch of light in her deadly stare made me want to go back to the company and ask for a new client but I already signed the contract with her so there is no point if I turn back now. For a client who grew up in a rich family, it must be easy for her to get what she wants. She seemed to be occupied everywhere with a serious look, and aware of any possible danger, the world of the rich people is complicated. I am not against but she could get what she wanted then just be chased by threats. 'You like her'. I heard my mind said, whispering with repetition, an unwilling side: If this mission is a success, I would be able to get the promotion to a higher rank of agents and compete with my rival once again. I must not let him took everything from me.
"Miss, here it is." I barely gripped on the water because my client already took the bottle away from me.
"Rest agent, we have a lot to do after here." She clamps her words together, as if I forced her to care for me and my well-being.
"Miss," I said calling her attention and she did look at me but this time, she is not angry, she is chugging the water, waiting for what I am about to say to her. "I encountered two people taking about you in the hallway near here. It might be your brothers or some member of your family as them to come here."
"Great, they are moving quickly. I am glad you are telling me all of this, it just shows you are not my enemy, but possibly that people are not related to me because my parents only know that I am here. They want me to leave, but I won't. I want to see how long will they plan on chasing me."
I am confused. She knows that it is her parents doing, what kind of parent are they? I tucked in my tops inside my pants and she screamed, scaring me away, my heartbeat just jumped out, I shifted my gaze to her as I finish inserting the extra clothes of my shirt. Her cheeks are turning red, "What are you doing?" She asked me with her eyes wide open.
Embarrassment runs upwards to my face that cause me to turn my back around, 'Stupid, Colson seriously have you gone insane? The client is a woman. For crying out loud.' I just noticed it is inappropriate.
"Forgive me Miss, I did not mean for you to see that." I blurted out, needing to get away from my client as quickly as possible. Needing to be anywhere but not here, near my client who is innocently screaming holiness.
"All the more reason to why I want a female agent but they give me a male one. Male are dangerous for me. Only in my opinion--"
"Miss, there are no female agents available for the job you stated. Of course, the company must choose the once who are capable of doing the job and again forgive me as I did not realize what I have done." I said while cutting my clients' word off.
"It is harmless." My client spits out a set of water making my back a little wet. I blew her hard and she sighed heavily after.
"Can't you understand? You have to go somewhere else to do the shirt insertion of your pants. Like the bathroom, it exists for a reason. So just please go to that location. Do it."
"I am already done Miss," I said and she instantly knew that I am starting to make her blood pressure go high. So, she finally unveils herself to me whether she likes it or not.
I had no other choice, not when an agent's mission is to know more about the client itself. My client had no options, an agent like me could just stare at the same targeted person for the whole day because I have the ability to study human nature and their actions.
