My eyes opened wider and I was lost in the moment, as the adrenaline within my system became extremely heightened.
I immediately took away my gaze from him, with the thought of all that had transpired between me and Jake running through my mind.
'No, I can not allow myself to feel this way anymore or let my guard down for any reason!' I quickly thought to myself, as my palms became more sweaty.
"Why am I feeling this way, could he be exactly what I am feeling or something else is triggering my feelings from within me?"
I murmured to myself, as I walked away from him and made sure never to look back at Jake for another time.
At that moment in time, I knew that I couldn't allow whatever I was feeling within me to stop my quest or even allow my guard down for a second.
I held the files that I kept in my hands tightly, as I hurriedly made my way out of the place. Mr. Luigi was in the car already, waiting for me.
Immediately he saw me stepping out, he made a hand gesture toward me to quickly get into the vehicle.
Without hesitation, I hopped in and we both drove away from that spot to avoid being caught by any of Alpha Orion's men.
I was so happy to have completed my first task. My face was filled with a grin and delight that it was crystal clear Mr Luigi could also spot the look on my face.
"I know that you are very happy about everything now, especially the way our plan went smoothly." With a slight grin on his face as well, Mr. Luigi uttered calmly.
I nodded my head in agreement with what he had said, but one thing was very sure at that moment.
Despite the joy I was feeling at that point, I was unable to take Jake from my mind. What made it more intense was the feeling I felt before seeing him.
'I have never felt that way before and this feeling is growing so intensely over me... I have to get a hold of myself to avoid anything that will reveal my identity or spoil all the quests I will be engaging in!'
I thought to myself deeply, as I started hearing Mr. Luigi faintly call out my name.
I quickly jumped out of my reverie and realized we had arrived at our destination.
"Please step out of the car." Mr Luigi opened the passenger door. "Let's go check what you have with you, before informing the boss about how everything went tonight."
He said as he led the way towards the entrance to the house, and I quickly followed behind him.
We both made our way into the building. With bright light almost everywhere inside, I brought out the files in my hands and handed them over to Mr. Luigi.
Once he collected it, he started checking it one after the other. Suddenly, the exciting looks on his face gradually diminished.
At that point, I was anxious because I knew for sure something was wrong.
"Wh...what's happening?" With a curious look and a trembling voice, I asked.
Mr Luigi was silent for some minutes, gazing intently at the files before him.
"We got the wrong files... These are not what we want or even went there for!" He said those words loudly, agonizingly and angrily, as he threw those files away to the floor.
I quickly bent down to pick them up and checked for myself.
I saw that it was just the front cover of the whole file that stated that, it was what I had gone to Alpha Orion to obtain, but the whole content inside was nothing related to it.
With a high amount of rage flowing through my veins, I was filled with lots of disappointment and felt very incompetent.
I sat on the couch, my brow furrowed in frustration as I tried to recollect what had transpired during my quest at Alpha Orion's place.
****FlashBack*********
I sat down on the couch and once Alpha Orion offered me a drink, he went into the bathroom. When he came back, he was filled with smiles all over his face.
I couldn't care much about his looks, as I was more concerned about how I was going to get my hands on the files I had come for.
I was a bit nervous, but I tried putting everything under control so he would not notice anything like that from me. I guess he knew I was a bit nervous.
Alpha Orion played along with the whole scenario, but I was sure that he didn't know what I was nervous about.
So many times he stared into my eyes and it was clear that he was trying to get some information from the looks in my eyes, but I made sure that there was nothing related to my mission in my eyes.
"Please can I use the restroom?" I asked politely, then he gently showed me where I could locate the restroom.
Once I got inside the restroom, I quickly tried to calm myself down to make sure that I could handle the pressure. I don't want to get caught being nervous right in front of Alpha Orion.
I came back to the place I left him, I didn't see him. When I looked around, he came out of a room with a towel around his slender waist. He told me he wanted to go take a shower, and I nodded, staring at his enticing body.
'Wake up girl! You are here for a mission!'
Without any hesitation, I moved into action. Once I found the files, I quickly folded them into my bag and made sure I left no traces.
The most surprising part of the whole thing was when Alpha Orion stepped out of the bathroom.
I immediately stood up to inform him that I was leaving, that duty call. I also promised that we were going to see some other time.
To my surprise, he never objected or sounded like he was suspicious of me in any way.
★★★
I explained everything that happened.
"Mr. Luigi, I guess he knew that I was up to something, and he intentionally allowed me to do whatever I wanted." I sounded so certain.
"He was so sure that he had nothing in that room that could stand against him as a weakness." With a very bold and straightforward look on my face, I muttered.
"I believe so too because it all went so easy. I don't think it was supposed to come together that easily being Alpha Orion," Mr. Luigi said, as he acknowledged what I had said earlier.
"I think I will need to call the boss, to explain what had happened!" Mr Luigi said as he brought out his cell phone, trying to dial the boss's number.
"No, you will do no such thing!" I abruptly interjected, as I stared into his eyes sternly.
"Why? Do you have any other plans on what to do next?" With his both eyebrows lifted in annoyance, he questioned me.
"Yes, I will have to walk into the lion's den once again."
"What!" He gasped out in shock.
"Yes, Mr Luigi... That's the only way I can get him to know me more and possibly, trust me!" With much confidence, I uttered…
