Wrong Question
"I have already gone and checked the details of the bar. Though you saved me from them, you.. So we are equal, you do not owe me anything." she looked out of the window as she finished her words. She appreciated that he had come this far to warn her and tried to help too.
But she had a bad memory of her life that she did not want to see in front of her eyes. It made her feel disgusted!
"You can choose any of those monkeys then, but what after that? Do you think you would get rid of the assassin too because of that?
I am here to save you for one and last time and this is the last time I am asking you that, if you still refuse, I would turn and leave without looking back at you even once even if you died.
I am not a hero who cares about anyone. It was already a limit that I came this far to save you." she turned to look at him, feeling his intense gaze on her.
She wanted to open her mouth and shoo him away telling that she had a long line of bodyguards that could save her from anything. But when she saw her eyes, there was something that was telling her that she would face a loss if she would still be adamant and let him go.
From the time she had been in business, she had given a lot of importance to her instincts. Her instincts had helped her in taking a lot of decisions that had saved her from losing.
After staring at him for a few more seconds when she felt him standing up, she stood up abruptly too. Hurting her thigh in their process,
She gazed at his narrowed eyes that were on her thighs and felt that all her blood came on her face as it turned red from embarrassment. Why does it always happen that she loses her composure and serenity in front of this man?
"You changed your decision?" he asked in a confused tone. Since the time he had been alive, it was a child play for him to listen to the mind of others. But when it comes to this girl, even that day he was clueless of what she was thinking and even today!!
He should have been able to listen to her even when he was not paying any attention to her, yet he continued to stare at her but still found a blank slate. Was she not thinking at all? But how could this be!
Her face expressions had been cold all this time, except a bit of licker in her eyes. That was why he came back so far and tried to prolong the conversation but still did not get any success.
"I am not sure how you want to protect me, but if you are so sure that my bodyguards will not be able to help me, then I do not want to take a chance!
Save from the danger you are talking about!" Even though she was asking for help, her face did not lose her calmness and serenity.
"You will not choose me as your partner, right?" he asked as he was sure that she had not even once thought about that with the way she talked about only the threat of today.
Without wasting a second, she shook her head.
"I am not choosing anyone for now. This was my long term solution. But after hearing you out, i am going for plan B. '' he was impressed the way she was taking the desirability of her life so rationally as if she was talking about business deals.
No matter what was told to her, she did not lose her composure.
"Well then, excuse me. I shall go and inform everyone that the interview has been cancelled." she could not handle his intense gaze anymore and scurried out of the room in hurry before he could even reply.
He smirked when she left the room and then looked at the red point on the vase that had been moving for quite some time but every time it fell on the girl, he stood in front of her without any hesitation.
Once the girl was gone, and the door was finally closed, he turned and narrowed his eyes on the shooter that was in the other building. The man who was trying to aim the girl slammed the fist on the wall when the girl left unscathed and cursed the man who had always come in between.
But his eyes widened when he noticed that the man had turned and passed a smirk to him as if he could see him.
He frowned as it was almost impossible to notice his presence but to not take any chances, he laid on the floor and hid behind the wall for a while.
He decided to come out only when the girl would be back. So a few minutes passed but he did not move at all. When he felt that there was nothing to be worried about, he opened his eyes and turned to look back at the room.
But his eyes widened and all the colours lost his face when he saw the man standing on the boundary of the wall! It was the same man he had seen in the room just a minute ago.
He had that same smirk on his face that had irritated him a minute ago.
"How did you come here?" the door of the roof on the other side and he did not hear or see anyone coming. The building was 24floors high! How the hell did he come and stand on the boundary of a wall for only a minute?
Hao tilted his head as his eyes glowed,
"You are asking the wrong question!" he replied in a strange tone that left goosebumps over the body of the assassin!
"Then what is.. The right question?" He hesitated a bit as he felt that the answer would not be something he would like to hear.
"The correct question is, are you going to kill me or leave me handicapped!!"
".........."
