Chapter 51 - Chapter 51

Jessica's POV

Luke told me that there was a building that we can use for a while till the mission is accomplished. So, with the elites that were carefully chosen by me and Xaiver, I'm on my way to France.

I turned around and Luke was sitting on the seat with a laptop placed on his lap. As usual, he was frowning as he typed furiously in his laptop, making me wonder why he was so mad at the poor laptop.

Averting my attention away from him, I stood up and walked towards the room where there was a bed, I could take a nap in. I undressed as quickly as I could and went inside the bed, not bothering to change into pajamas. It was quite weird to think that I was sleeping in the air but the thought soon faded away as I snuggled close to the soft blanket and dozed off.

I am not sure how long it's been but I jolted awake when a loud voice boomed throughout the jet. It was the captain announcing to land off and I dragged my legs off the bed to get dressed.

As I was about to pull my sweater over my head, I heard the footsteps of someone approaching and I ran towards the door to lock it but the door was already opened by someone. Not knowing what to do, I kicked it which worked because along with someone groaning, the door closed and I used it as a chance to lock it.

"I will be out in a minute." I yelled over my shoulder as I ran back to the room to get dressed completely. When I walked out of the room, no one was there and I walked out of the jet with the help of an attendant showing me the way out.

When I walked down the stairs, everyone was out with their suitcases by their side. I walked around the crowd to find my suitcase and when I did, it was with Luke. Was he the one who tried to open the door?

I took a step closer to take a look at his face as he was talking with someone in Russian. And when I did, I instinctively took a step back when he pushed back my suitcase he was holding. Taking it from his hand, I walked off to where Xavier was standing.

Soon, SUVs and vans pulled over infront of us and everyone put their loads into the trunks of the vehicles. Xavier had already taken my suitcase with him and vans left one by one. Soon, I was left alone with Xavier, Luke and his assistant.

Xavier walked towards one of the cars waiting for us and I followed suit. I scowled when he shut the door on my face. Is he serious? Did he fucking close the damn door on my face?

I was about to yell at him when a hand gripped on my shoulder and led me the other way where another car was waiting. I looked up and there was Luke with a small smile as he opened the door for me to get in.

When I got in, he closed the door after getting in himself too. The car soon took off and there was an uncomfortable silence in the car.

"Hey, I have a question for you." I broke the silence and he looked at me, as if allowing me to continue with the question.

"I was wondering if it was you who came by the door to wake me up just now." and as I asked, the corners of his lips rose upwards and he looked straight ahead.

"I knew you were violent but didn't expect you to shut the door to my face." He smirked and looked back at me.

"Well, in my defense, it was your fault you were about to barge into a woman's bedroom." I retorted and he just chuckled.

"Were you naked? I honestly wouldn't have minded the view though." He turned and leaned his head on the headrest with a subtle smirk on his lips.

"Pervert!" I slapped his arm playfully and he played along by whining about how it hurt, clutching his bicep.

And just like that, during the whole ride, we talked about future plans, joking here and there.

"We are here." he said as he opened the door after the car came to a stop. Before I could open the door, someone opened it instead and it was the driver. I thanked him and followed Luke inside.

The building was huge, it triple-storied mansion with a large garden at the front. People were gathered around the garden and all of them stopped talking and straightened when they saw us approach the door.

Luke opened the door after punching in the password and opened the door wide. Everyone followed inside and the house wasn't as big as the one back in Italy but damn, was it glamorous and elegant.

The ceiling was at least twenty feet with an enormous chandelier sparkling above my head. The mansion was so pretty to express how beautiful it looked. Before I could even get the chance to admire the decoration of the house, Luke's loud voice rang throughout the mansion, making everyone stop on their tracks and listen to his instructions.

"You guys will be using the left wing and won't be allowed in the right wing unless it's necessary. My guys will be here soon and I hope you guys can share the rooms without making a fuss. Your boss and I will be staying at the right-wing s without our permission, you guys aren't allowed in the right-wing. Is that clear?"

A chorus of 'Yes' echoed throughout the enormous building and all of them went to the left wing, dragging their suitcases. I was watching them walk away as Luke gently took my hand and walked away to the right-wing.

He was practically dragging me because it was quite hard for me to catch up with his large strides. We climbed the stairs and walked past doors, hand in hand till we came to a stop infront of a white door.

"This is your room. My room will be right next to yours," he said as he raised his other hand to point at the black door right to mine. I was about to wriggle my hand out of his grip when he held it tighter and walked further into the corridor.

We soon came to a stop infront of a mahogany door and he opened it with ease. Inside were bookshelves filled with books, a big desk with a spinning chair and desktop infront of the shelves and a floor length window which showed the outside view of the beautiful garden outside.
