Chapter 88 (Claiming the Reward)

Alex arrive at Catherine's office, he blinked just right at the back of her but because of the phaseless concealment skill he used, Catherine couldn't sense anything

'This woman sure is so relax sleeping peacefully like that, did something good happen?.' Alex thought while looking at Catherine's sleeping face

Alex moved closer towards her, to see her face more closely

'This woman is really pretty, even though that this is her office she is too defenseless.' Alex thought watching her with a smile, thinking that what if someone would stain this beautiful piece of art, he would destroy them

"Now let's see, with how I look right now she won't know me, even though I was careless back then but with phaseless concealment she wouldn't even notice that it was me." Alex said in a little voice

"Mhnnhnhn."

Catherine mhned a bit and move her body to a comfortable position

Alex thought that Catherine heard what he said but I guess he was wrong

"Sleeping in her desk like this, would really hurt her back after she wake up,." Alex said in a little voice

'I guess I need to wake her up, but how should I go with this.' Alex thought of a way to wake her up

After thinking for a bit, Alex didn't plan anything big, he only decides to scare her that he is here to take her.

Alex who was at the back of Catherine, move around to the front of her desk and slam the desk with his hands to scare her

Bang!

"Kyahh who is it!?." Catherine shouted in fright and quickly stand up

"Good morning there miss." Alex said with a mature voice, his looks right now is like a man in his late twenties, it was the same look he fought with the old immortal

"You!. who are you?!, who gives you the right to come here." Catherine said angrily

"I'm afraid that is not for you to decide miss." Alex said with a smile

Catherine checked the power of the one who is in front of her, but after finding out she was scared, her face turned pale because the aura around the that man was so oppressive. She now knows that she couldn't do anything even if she tried to resist, as a professional in this field she was prepared for this when she knows how many she offended in this organization, so without anyway of escaping she calmly sat back to her chair

"What are you here for?." Catherine asked, she was already already prepared to die, her memories flashed through her mind like in kaleidoscope, the only thing she regretted is that she didn't have a time to meet Alex again

"To take you." Alex said, but it was really true he was here to claim his reward

"I see, I'm already prepared for it." Catherine said and closed her eyes, a small drop of tear fell to the ground, she didn't want to ask anything anymore like who sent him or what was their motive, because even if she heard it, it was pointless she will die anyway

'I'm sorry, I'll give you your reward if we ever meet in the next life.' Catherine thought

When Alex sees this he was a bit guilty that he made her cry, because a mature woman crying is a rarity, so Alex thought that he made it too far.

"Hey-hey I'm just joking, you don't need to cry." Alex said quickly, and move his hands to wipe some of the tears that already started flowing from her eyes after the tear dropped before

Catherine was shocked of what she heard because the voice felt familiar, she opened her eyes and her eyes went wide, as she sees the man who is in front of her started to change, and turn to Alex

"You are...Alex?." Catherine asked after looking at him for three second because the picture that she saw of Alex is when he was still 16 years old, so linking the resemblance she knows that it was Alex and especially the voice she heard matched Alex.

"Yeah it's me, so don't cry okay? even though you are still pretty and cute when you cry, but you are the most beautiful when you smile." Alex said while wiping her tears

Catherine didn't quickly snap out and get angry at him, she composed herself and calmed down, she then stop her eyes from crying.

"You are still too young to tease me!." Catherine said and rolled her eyes, even though she calmed down she was still angry of what he did

"Reaally, I'm 20 though and that's already pass the marriageable age." Alex said with a smile and remove his hand from her face

Catherine didn't say anything, and ignore him as she was still really angry

"Are you still angry? I'm sorry okay? I know that I have gone too far." Alex said sincerely

"Sigh* fine, don't do that again, I was really scared." Catherine sighed, she didn't want to pursue the matter anymore

"But I wasn't really lying right? as it is the truth." Alex said with a big smile

"What do you mean?." Catherine is confused why he had such a big smile

"Aren't I here to take you?." Alex said with a smirk

Catherine turned red when she finally understand because what Alex meant is that he is here to claim his reward and that is her, to take her, but she quickly suppressed the redness of her face. As a strong woman she doesn't want to show her weakness

"Oh turning red are we?." Alex said with his great senses, he still noticed her face turned red

"No it didn't." Catherine denied shamelessly

"Fine, but still you gotta agree at side of your bargain." Alex said with a big smile

"We will talk about that later." Catherine said, although she was really happy that he didn't forget her but she also wanted to hear what he did in the past two days,

"Changing the subject are we?, fine but we still need to talk with this again because I ain't forgetting it."
