Chereads / A New Luck ( Broken Jinx) / Chapter 16 - I am not fragile

Chapter 16 - I am not fragile

The next day, Moore woke up to find Rose fast asleep. He could only stare at how beautiful she looked. He thought for a while but dismissing the thought. He got out of bed as gently as he could. He took  some time to refresh himself before heading to the kitchen to prepare some meals. When Rose woke up, she thought Moore had already left. So she went straight to the bathroom. By the time she was done, she was barely naked. When she came back she was only putting on pants. At the crossroads between the bathroom and the kitchen where she was standing, both  she and Moore crossed path. She could not believe what had just happened. She let out a scream and tried to use her hand to cover her upper body in embarrassment. While Moore could only just stare in shock. Moore's mind went blank immediately. She rushed back to the bathroom ,took a towel and cover herself. That was an awkward situation. She thought . She then went straight to the bedroom to put on her robe. Rose was very apologetic when she saw Moore again. They both glanced at each other. An unspoken truce. Let's just  leave it there. Moore finally spoke. I made breakfast . Rose nodded in acknowledgment. Pointing the way to the dinner table. Soon they were both eating from the meal Moore had prepared.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the city, Tony Blend was discussing with a group of men. My spy informed me that Moore defeated shadow master, and his men. Tony Blend maintaining a calm facade, could only nod as the man spoke. After his briefing, Tony Blend the leader of the underground society, could not control his facial expressions anymore. He yelled at the crowd in front of him. Can nobody deal with Moore Alexander. One of his men suggested, boss since Moore is not pressing the issue, why don't we let bygone be bygone and forget this ever happened. Tony Blend became furious, his demeanor became ferocious as he yelled at the top of his voice. I am Tony Blend, the king of the city, who the hell is Moore Alexander, that you are telling me to let bygone be bygone. He looked at the man with a killing intent. He continued speaking, Moore should be here kneeling down before me, even the governor will have to respect me. Tony Blend was basically panting. Looking at the man who suggested bygone to be bygone, he ordered get him out of my sight and throw him under the bridge. That was the end of the man. He spoke to another man get me the sweeper. All his men were left in shock as they heard the name of the sweeper. The sweeper is the number five assassin in the whole of Concordia. The situation had overwhelmed Tony Blend. He seemed to have no other choice than to bring in the best of the best of assassins to help rescue this matter. 

Somewhere in a dark alley, a man was hanging some tools in a store, when his phone rang. He looked at the Caller ID display and noticed it was an out-of-town caller. He spoke calmly, hello, why are you calling me now? The strange voice on the phone spoke, I have a job for you. It requires immediate attention. The man spoke again. You know the rules, but for your sake I will make an exemption. The strange voice spoke you will be dealing with a pest problem. You need to eradicate the pest as soon as possible. The man said okay, it was as good as done already. With that, he ended the call.

Marcy drove up to Rose's apartment building.  She was a little perplexed as anxiety creeped over her. She thought of what would have happened between Moore and Rose throughout the night. She stuttered for a while with this thought . She then murmured to herself," I hope she doesn't mess with our plans for Moore . Not being able to hold it anymore, she took out her phone, and gave Moore a call. Moore answered the call immediately. Hello Moore , I am downstairs. Are you ready, or should I still wait for you? After Moore ended the call, he spoke to Rose," I will be leaving pretty soon. What are your plans for the future? Rose looked at him in confusion, the psychological effects of last night were still lingering in her memories. Asking for her plans for the future means it is not over, she thought. She mustered up all the courage she had left to ask Moore, if it was still not over. Moore could only shake his head and answer we still needed to deal with Tony Blend and his men. But I will have my people watch over you for now. But if you plan to leave town for a few days, it will be fine too. Rose, while trying to weigh her options, asked again,"  I can't just run away and leave my life behind. She spoke out of frustration. Moore thought of something, before asking where is your daughter Maggie? Rose replied she is with my parents. Sometimes I let her stay over there when I am busy. Maggie is Rose's daughter, and she is eleven years old. Moore paused for a while to think," I will have a couple of guys watch over you for the mean time, until we resolve the issue with Tony Blend. They both agreed to the plan. Moore  was about to take his leave, when Rose, feeling a bit insecure, asked" Will I see you again?". Moore hesitated for a while before saying it best if we quickly resolved the issue before anything else. I would not want anything sinister or bad to happen to you because of my negligence. Rose felt like her world had been torn apart. She could not deny her feelings for Moore, but it's seemed Moore was trying to push her away. Out of annoyance, she yelled out at Moore," I am not some damsel or fragile lady who you think is so helpless. How dare you treat me as such. Moore was puzzled yet dumbfounded. He could only grit his teeth with an embarrassing smile.
