Sumire, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, flinched. After 30 minutes have passed, the office door opened and Mr. Aslanov's secretary spat from there and immediately found the maiden sleeping beautifully and soundly on his favorite sofa.
Blood boiling in rage surged up to his head and his face flushed in red, Klauss approached the sofa in big strides and ruthlessly sprayed the intruder with a disinfectant in the face.
'Fuck, fuck!' Sumire immediately got up from the sofa and wiped out the alcohol sprinkled on her face. She raised an eyebrow at the man she thought was an angel but a demon in disguise! She gritted her teeth. 'Damn, I badly want to smash this maggot's face to death!'
"I regret that I consider you a smart specie when you can't even read the big sign posted on the door outside. The words are written in Arial font and bold, it literally said, "No filthy animals allowed" yet here you are. You have the guts to step inside."
Klauss said in a stern voice. His lips pursed into a thin line and his jaw clenched. His pair of arctic blue eyes hovered down and piercingly squinted on her. A pale face was now reddened with anger and his nostrils were still flared. Sumire immediately sat up properly and met the man's smoldering gaze on her. She displayed a spoiled and bratty demeanor.
"First of all, I am not filthy. Second, I admit that I am wrong, but you don't have to overreact. I didn't touch any of your belongings even I succumbed to the temptation to get one of those books you have in the corner that caught my interest. I restrain myself. "
Sumire's sincere apology even though she sounded irritated at the neat-freak guy. Klauss was silent for a moment, towering down at Sumire but his eyes remain narrowed.
When Klauss confronts someone, they often immediately apologize out of fear and cowardly run away from him. But only this nearly extinct specie he just discovered admitted her mistake and apologized to him, eyes devoid of fear. 'The audacity!'
Although Sumire's tone was bratty, she confidently admitted her mistake. It was Klauss' first time to receive an apology from someone without fear of him.
"I hear you. You can now leave."
Klauss motioned and shooed her away. Sumire flared her nostrils and stamp her one foot in anger up on the sofa and walk with a loud heavy step away from him. But the expression on her face quickly change when she remembered something she saw earlier.
"Okay, okay, but before I leave, I have a question. Is the author of one of your books with the pseudonym and signature of "Death" happened to be the same mysterious artist who painted the famous tenebrism crime arts?"
Sumire asked excitedly and now blushing hardly. She wanted to shriek out earlier when she saw the book.
"Yes."
Frowned, Klauss responded unenthusiastically. Sumire, on the other hand, is now screaming inside her mind and now smiling from ear to ear and she showed her famous puppy eyes to the man she rarely used. 'I really must have that book no matter what.' She determinedly said to herself.
Klauss felt his hair stood up on end, looking at her face, suddenly he shivers in disgust!
"Can I borrow it?"
Sumire asked trying to suppress her squeal inside and her two hands were clasping together as if she praying to him to grant her wish.
"No. The last time I checked, Cercopithecidae doesn't know how to read."
Klauss immediately disagreed with her and his hand rudely blocked her face. The joy that was visible on Sumire's face was replaced by a frown. She then crosses her arms on her chest and declared.
"From this day and onward, you will be seeing this Cercopithecidae who can read."
A defiant grin formed on Sumire's lips. Klauss was about to answer her when the door to his office suite opened. He was about to shout at the intruder when his Boss Aslanov spat from there, looking so good and hot while holding a shoe box.
Both of them fell into silence and looked at the tallest and biggest man in the room approaching their way.
As the green-eyed man got closer and closer, Klauss's pair of arctic eyes were drawn to his Boss' footprints to see if there was dirt left on the floor. Sumire, on the other hand, had a very sweet smile on her lips and midnight eyes were focused on the young man approaching her place as if Klauss no longer existed around them.
"Are you here to fetch me?"
The maiden sweetly ask in an angelic tone and face that Klauss immediately turned his gaze on her at the sudden flip of Sumire's personality. From sardonic smile and remarks she has earlier turned into a sweet like an angel in an instant. Klauss was stunned. 'Unbelievable!', he commented and lips slightly parted.
His gaze that was darted earlier at footprints of his Boss, making sure his Boss didn't leave a speck of dirt now shifted to her place. Klauss couldn't believe what he was seeing now.
"Damn this Hirudinea," Klauss whispered under his breath that Sumire and his Boss turn to face him at the same time.
"She's not a leech."
"I am not a leech!"
Klauss stares at his Boss and Sumire suspiciously back and forth. Eyes were still squinted darted on them.
"Is there something I don't know or something is going on between you two?"
Klauss asked curiously made Mr. Aslanov was a little surprised and Sumire blushed intensely, which further aroused his suspicion.
'I should eliminate this human bacteria so that my pure and innocent Boss would not be infected and corrupted.' Klauss said to himself that his jaw was still clenched as his eyes narrowed and stared specifically at Sumire like a parasite, stabbing her with thousands of needles and drowning her in chemicals.
Mr. Aslanov seemed to know what is going on in his secretary's mind. He confronts him.
"Don't overdo it or else I'll send a truck of mud and make a mess inside your office."
Mr. Aslanov in a deep and warning tone. Klauss audibly gasped at what he heard, he was standing petrified on his feet like he was struck by lightning and his body shivered involuntarily. He slowly looks in his Boss's direction and meets his serious and cold demeanor.
His mind began to wander and look at the worst scenario. The mud is the worst thing he hates the most!
Sumire doesn't know if she will feel sorry or pleased with Klauss trembling in disgust right now. His strong and commanding posture earlier is now gone in a trace. She just stared at the secretary who seemed to be out of his mental state.
While Klauss was busy overthinking, Sumire was snapped back when Mr. Aslanov suddenly took her hand. And she was already wearing a new pair of brand black heels!
It was him who put the heels on her feet while she was busy staring pitifully at Klauss.
"Let's go."
The green-eyed man said that she did not realize that his face was close to hers. Only a few inches away and their lips will be touched. Sumire slightly gasped and was mesmerized by his presence.
The two of them immediately left the office and the secretary stunned, without bidding goodbye. Klauss was left staring into the absence of nothingness!
They went straight to the parking lot, holding hands. The young man immediately opened the door to his phantom car and loaded Sumire in the front seat. He then quickly turn on the other side and got in the driver's seat.
Sumire was blushed heavily when Mr. Aslanov suddenly stared intently at her and leaned closer to her. She can smell his manly scent and warm breath against her lips. Their eyes locked. When their noses almost met, Sumire immediately closed her eyes thinking that the young man would kiss her. But after a short second, nothing happened.
'What is taking him so long?'
She wondered why no kiss landed on her, so the maiden opened her eyes and saw that she was now wearing a seatbelt and the man had started the car engine.
"Where do I drop you?" Mr. Aslanov asked her, she shyly look at him as her cheeks blushed in red.
"KCA building."
Sumire shortly replied. Together, they hit the road. No one speaks between the two of them. Sumire was silent during the trip, she was ashamed to initiate the talk. His emerald eyes are serious darted on the road.
When Sumire and Mr. Aslanov reached the place, Victoria Scarlet came out of the building at the same time.
The most expensive Roll Royce phantom car in the market caught the actress' attention. Victoria stopped walking when a gorgeously hot man emerge out of the luxurious car. She was quickly drooling over the God-like man who was built for perfection. His face was perfectly sculpted, with a thick eyebrow that was slightly furrowed, a prominent straight-pointed nose, and a strong jaw that clenched, he looks dangerously hot and cold.
The man stands so tall and formidable big in the place. His pair of foxy mesmerizing emerald eyes eyeing the building. 'My god! He was effortlessly perfect!'
Victoria lick the side of her lip sexily and adjusted her revealing outfit making her bulging cleavage noticeable. She flips her blonde curly hair back and starts walking, swaying her hips approaching the man's place with a flirtatious smile on the lips.
But her smile quickly vanished and was replaced in hatred when the man suddenly turn on the other side of the car and opened it. And there emerges the effortlessly beautiful woman in the world with a modest posture and a sweet smile on her face. She was so pretty that her beauty can make men and women falter. She was smiling at the man. He put his arms around her waist and held her tight, supporting the maiden out of the car.
Victoria's face contorted with rage and jealousy.
"Why can't you just die already, Sumire."
