24 Ambush

----Stephanie's POV----

Uhm... What the hell is going on? As I was about to head somewhere an elegant man stood in front of me then suddenly kiss the back of my hand as he introduces himself. Wait... Thomas Anderson...? I feel like I've heard that name before. My guard went back suddenly and took my hand away from him as soon as he kisses it.

"Mr. Anderson, I'm afraid Ms. V was quite shocked at what you did," Anna speaks for me who was behind me all along. She says it politely but quite threateningly.

"Oh, I apologize. May I know your name is?" Thomas asks politely to Anna.

"She's Anna, My secretary," I say politely to him.

I look at Anna and gave her a signal to give us some privacy and can go to my Mom. Since we don't wanna make my Mom made a ruckus about this stuff. Anna nodded and head back. Now...

"Mr. Anderson. How may I help you?" I say coldly but polite.

"It's nothing really, I just want to see who is this wonderful lady behind his gorgeous designs." He says politely with a warm smile. Hm... Elegant looking man, CEO of a modeling company, polite and has a taste in fashion. Looks like this man is up to something.

"Ms. V, I feel kinda offended on the way you look at me. I promised you I don't intend to do something." Thomas chuckles a bit.

"I'm sorry if you feel that way but we can drop the formalities now." This guy is kinda sharp. Well trained.

"If that's what you want. I was wondering to have a business talk with you sometime?" Thomas hand me over his business card and I gently took it. Hmm... "Elisha Modeling Company" not bad... This company is quite famous due to its fantastic models. I might as well use this if I want models...

"I'll have my assistant contact you if I have some time," I say politely with a warm smile.

----William's POV----

As the bloodshed has been settled, obviously we won. There are only some of our men who died and got wounded. The damage isn't that high but it's still severe. Tsk... So basic! I grin at the dead corpse.

"I'm going in," Clark says coldly as he about to enter the warehouse.

I stay behind trying to look out on our men. Some of our men followed Clark. I'm going to check on another first before going in. We also need some lookout in case something bad happened.

As I was looking around the corpses, I noticed something strange. Wait... This one still breathing.

"Cough! Cough!" The man coughs of blood. Hmm... Looks like we can get some useful information about this man.

"Hey! Get this man, he might be useful." I ordered one of our men to hold him still. I need to inform Clark about this.

At the warehouse, I was walking the warehouse I noticed the men who were following Clark was outside and not inside with him. What are they doing here? Aren't they supposed to be with him? Looks like Clark forbid them... Somethings wrong... I just ignore them and head inside. Luckily they didn't stop me.

"King! We found one alive." I say as I open the door.

I saw Clark standing behind me, reading some unknown file with a letter. He's gloomy and quiet, not answering me. Clark seems focused on what he's holding and kinda surprised about it.

"Hey, what's wrong w-"

"Run! There's a bomb!" Before I could even finish my sentence, I saw Clark running towards as he was shouting something at me but I couldn't hear it clearly as something explodes on where he was standing before.

----Stephanie's POV----

"I look pleasure working with-"

"Ugh! Ow!"

What the... A pain suddenly struck to my heart. It's like my heart tightening...! As I was groping my chest trying to feel the pain I fell onto my knees but Luckily someone grabs me. The glass of champagne which I was holding shattered on the ground causing all people got surprised.

"Are you okay?" Thomas says worryingly as he guides me as I stand.

"I'm okay..." I say weakly. Weird... I'm suddenly weak...

All of the attention started to focus on us. Oh no, this is bad. We need to find a place with no one else.

"Let's go somewhere else." Thomas guided me somewhere escaping the massive attention.

We were at the backstage, luckily no one was there all of them were having fun at the party. I'm surprised this is the place he thought of. Thomas put me on a chair, trying to relax me.

"Are you fine now? " Thomas asks worryingly.

"A pain suddenly struck my heart but I'm fine now, it's already gone."

"What happened?"

"I don't know a pain suddenly struck me."

What was that? I never experience that before... There's something wrong. I'm having a bad feeling. I'm getting worried... I hope Clark's alright.

"Hold on, I'm going to get some water." Thomas head outside right away.

Haha... this man is interesting. Looks like this man isn't something to keep my guard up but at least for now. I admit he's kinda kind...

"Here..." He gently passes me a glass of water. That was fast... Did he run? He's quite panting.

"Thanks..." As I drank the water slowly.

I put down the glass trying to relax. I look at him who is still worried. Uh... What the...

"I'm fine now okay? What's with the look on your face?" I chuckle at him.

As I was laughing I see the look on his face, a gentle warm smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

You're strange...
