"Roy, what's wrong?" Yana moved to her bedroom after leaving Luka sulking in the living room.
"Just letting you know, don't do anything stupid. We'll take care of the weapon problem," Yana's lips turned into a thin line. Did she really look like a fool in Roy's eyes, in all of their eyes?
"I know, don't worry, I'll do my mission only," for her mission Mik was a pivotal clue yet as Roy said Yana won't bother with the weapons and factory. Her mission was to find the member or members of the organisation who hid in City A.
Roy hung up right after, while another thought entered Yana's mind, could this weapon thing have anything to do with the recession? Was it somehow related in some form? Yana stopped thinking about it. Roy told her not to do anything. Yana trusted that Roy and the EF took care of it.
Yana returned to the living room and saw Luka's lonely figure stacking all the food onto Yana's plate. Now that Yana thought about it, she told Luka to stay over tonight. Haha, Yana should've thought it through more properly.
"The sofa should be ok right?" Yana sat next to him and started eating, Luka immediately caught on and innocently asked, "If I say I want to sleep with you on the be-"
MHMM
Yana took a piece of food and stuffed it into Luka's mouth, "I … fwought fo (I thought so)," gulp, "The sofa will do too. I was just worried you'd be lonely without me."
Luka once again really had the nerves and audacity to say shameless stuff like that, "Do I look like it?"
But Yana's words only provided more holes for her to fall into while Luka cheekily pulled her out, "Well, I think you'd look better in my arms like me spoon-"
"Shut up."
"Yes."
The rest of the evening went peaceful with Luka controlling himself hard to be obedient. Of course, the cheeky and audacious comments came from time to time but since Luka helped her today, Yana decided to go easy on him until-
Luka actually dared to slip into her bed while she wasn't watching! He hid under the blanket and once Yana got in, she felt two strong arms embracing her. Yana felt two things:
A- She instantly knew it was him and
B- She wanted to kick him hard in the nuts.
Then the struggle began with Luka being very oblivious to what he was doing wrong until Yana threatened to completely ignore him. The power she held over him.
"I'm sorry," Luka said very cutely and looked like he was reflecting, "I just couldn't bear the thought of you sleeping all lonely without me."
"Get out."
"Yes," very pitiful Luka let Yana go and with his head hung low he walked through the door looking like an aggrieved puppy.
"The doors are in the front, not where I am. Go and sleep. You've got work to do tomorrow."
Luka's pitiful act could not stir empathy in Yana and Luka had to give up.
Oh, how bittersweet love was and so the next day came. Luka wanted to have breakfast with Yana but since he had to work, to be precise helping Yana, he had to leave early. After Luka left Yana's place he quickly called Bao to set everything up.
The same noon, a scandal involving Mik broke out and coincidentally or obviously not, the very same evening all of the news surrounding him was instantly suppressed. The web was wiped from anything related to Mik.
Even the smallest post from the most insignificant user was immediately spotted and deleted. Seeing this phenomenon, Yana was finally sure that Mik indeed had ties with the organisation.
So after Mik was thrown out by his own family, he joined the organisation but Yana wondered why the organisation would want to use someone as insignificant and useless as Mik. Was he just a toy for a short while? Use him for this task and then get rid of him?
Yana was ready to eat dinner when suddenly Luka came in as if it was his apartment now. Yana shot him a glare and Luka who came in all imposing quickly turned into a puppy and sought to please its owner again.
Luka gently closed the door while he sulked and cautiously said, "I wanted to ring the bell but the door was open…"
"So you first check the door before ringing?"
"Ahem, only if it's you-"
"I wish I was anyone else but me."
"Yana!" Luka all of sudden seemed very anxious and quickly rushed to Yana. He timidly held onto the rim of her shirt, "I'm sorry, I messed up."
Ah, so that was why Luka acted this pitiful and cautious around Yana again.
"I should've done a better job, but for some reason, someone very capable deleted everything we put on the internet and-"
"It's ok," it really wasn't Luka's fault. He couldn't do anything against them and Yana's suspicion that Luka worked for them rescinded more and more.
Thus, her attitude with him was much better and even though she wanted to keep a neutral distance from him, she subconsciously wanted to get closer to him.
"Let's eat dinner."
"Yes!" Luka's eyes sparkled and he nodded enthusiastically. he was a tall grown man who usually was all imposing as a CEO but around Yana, he acted like a small kid. From their first meeting to now, Luka has changed majorly and honestly, they've been through a lot together.
"I'll cook-"
"Let's cook together," Yana gave Luka a smile but didn't realise it was a genuine one while Luka was totally stunned before he broke out into laughter, "You're so cute."
This was the last thing Yana expected to hear from him. Was he teasing her again?
"Really cute," Luka approached Yana while she, like always, smoothly dodged his attempt to cheekily embrace her and said, "Get serious. I'm starving."
"I'll show you my speciality, so sit back-"
"Just say you're afraid of my cooking."
"I'm not! You've improved a lot!"
"Fine, teach me then."
"I'm a strict teacher, if the student is bad the-"
"Shut up."
"Yes."
