Jessica's POV
"Damn, that's so cool! Can I try it?" I looked at him with my puppy eyes and he gave me the remote. I pressed the button that read 'Open' and voila, the wall disappeared.
"OMG! This is so cool!" I jumped up and down in excitement as I pressed the 'Close' button and the wall reappeared again. As I was about to press the button one more time, it was snatched away and I glared at Luke.
"That's very mean." I pouted at him and he just smiled.
"Do you have an extra remote? You can't be the only one who controls the room, right? What if I am not in the right state for anyone to walk in and you open the wall? I am sure we have the feature to lock it too, right?" I said as I looked at the 'Lock' button on the remote.
"What do you mean not in the right state? Are you going to spin on the chair naked the next time?" He let out a light laugh and I slapped him in his bulky chest.
"That was very rude of you to sneak up on me like that. So, for apology, why don't you give me the remote?" I tried to negotiate but I knew he would be tough to deal with when he smirked.
"I am not sorry. I mean I didn't tell you in the first place just to see your reaction. And damn, was it worth it!" He laughed and I just glared at him.
"Get me the remote." I stretched out to take it from his hand but I couldn't because he held it above his head. And he being 6'2ft and me in 5'5ft, I couldn't get the remote no matter how high I jumped.
After a few minutes of fighting, I gave up and walked out of his room, pissed.
"Aw, is the princess mad?" He slowly walked to my office and I turned my back to him as he came closer.
He then appeared right infront of my face and grabbed my chin. "Don't be mad, ok? I promise I will let you have the remote after today's work, alright?"
"Promise?" I gave him my pinky and he laughed after hooking it with his long ones.
"I promise." He booped my nose and walked away, leaving me dumbfounded from close proximity.
After he walked away, there was a knock at the other side of the room and Luke's assistant walked in along with Xavier by his side. Both of them were bolding piles of files and I groaned even by the look of it.
Xavier walked towards my desk and put it down. I lowered my head and slightly banged my head on the desk in annoyance. I have to finish those? Gosh, I hate work.
Well, if I can get the damn remote after getting all of these files checked, I guess I can do it.
Right?
------------------
"Alright, here you go." Luke gave me the remote after dinner and I jumped up and down in excitement.
Yay, I finally got it!
I ran upto the office to play with it and Luke chuckled and followed me everywhere I went.
"Are you stalking me?" I asked him after I had had enough fun and I saw him leaning against the door frame, already staring at me.
"In your dreams!" He scoffed and unfolded his crossed arms and walked towards me.
"Then why are you still here?" I asked him, despite the distance between us closing in as I spoke.
"To talk about business, what else?" He sat on his leather chair and I groaned.
Can I get a damn break?
"What business?" I questioned as I sat on his large desk.
"It looks like William is expanding his force. One of the spies working in American mafia recently reported that William have alleged an alliance with France and Spain mafia. Even though their forces are small and they alone can't do much harm to us, together, they can take us down. We have to carry on his plan as fast as we can." The goofy smile dropped from my face upon hearing it and I couldn't find it in myself to play around.
"What do you have in mind?"
"We can give him a little warning by attacking the main warehouse of American mafia which is situated in Chicago. Not many people know about it because William tries his best to conceal the location of the warehouse."
"I saw that they were getting a new shipment this Friday in one of the files. Why don't we have a little fun by giving the little man a surprise?" I suggested with an evil smile and he returned it with an even more devilish one.
"Sure, why not? Then let's get ready for the surprise. I will have two teams ready by tomorrow. Get some rest now." He stood up from his seat and made me stand as well.
"Alright. See you tomorrow. Go to bed early, we've a long journey waiting for us." I winked and walked out of the room and walked towards mine.
I danced throughout the corridor with the remote still in my hands. When I entered the room, all the happiness I had disappeared in the blink of an eye upon seeing the pink room. I better get the walls painted to something else or I should change my room in all seriousness.
I went to bed after washing my face and the whole night routine I've been accustomed to.
I can't wait for the adventurous journey waiting for us.
