Chapter 6- His Mansion
1000 Words
Eve's Point Of View*
My tears suddenly fell. I need to act to get his attention. He brought a guard over and pointed at me as if he wasn't going to approach me but his security. Why didn't he come to me?
"Are you all right?"
"I'm afraid that what happened earlier might happen again. I just realized now that I almost died."
I was still shaking as I said that and I sat down in the chair on the side. I have to act so that I am not complicit in Matias' eyes. His guard put a blanket on my back. Matias' bodyguard is Gentleman.
"Thank you," I smiled at him.
"Don't worry because we will catch that man. But if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have known that there was a bomb under the table that was stuck and we would all be dead. By the way how did you know that?"
"A while ago when I was walking, I heard something ringing and the sound got clearer when I approached their table."
I pointed at Matias and he nodded.
"Your hearing is very clear. Few can hear that faint sound of a bomb that even the Duke didn't hear."
I was stunned by what he said. I forgot, before we are already in training to hear that and only a few of us can hear the bomb at that very small sound.
"I'm used to it because when I used to work at a restaurant and even if I was in the kitchen I would hear the orders outside.
"Hmmm, that's right. But you can also use it and become a skills."
I nodded because that was my skill for a long time.
"You don't seem like you're from here." I nodded.
I know that someone here will ask me about that because my face is American, not European.
"I'm American and I'm a tourist here."
"Ah, that's right."
"David."
We looked at the person who called him and it was Matias.
"Your Grace."
He bowed before Matias.
I need to be close to him to know some plan to catch Moroccan. I stood up and hugged Matias.
"I'm scared."
I need to be attached to him because of this mission."
I was still trembling so that he would feel sorry for me.
"She's a tourist from America, your Grace."
I looked at him and I cried in front of him.
"What if he comes back to me? I'm scared."
Matias looked into my eyes and sighed.
"Fine, we take care of your stay here."
He got no emotion from me and suddenly turned away. Eh? Is it that easy?
"It's cold."
"Forgive our Duke. He's just like that in the other people too."
I nodded and looked at his back while walking. That's better than him knowing me. I will leave him when we are done with our mission here with Moroccan.
Moroccan is the reason why we meet? My God, I think he is the Cupid of our life. Yuck disgusting to think about.
"Follow us."
I looked at David and nodded. That's his name, right? That's what Matias said earlier.
"Okay."
I got into a car and it was sad because It was not in Matias's car. I sign my finger to my team mates to leave and I update them later.
"Don't worry because you will be fine."
I nodded to what David said with a smile. We arrived at a big mansion and it was like a palace in size. Oh my God is this a house?
"Nice!"
"Welcome to the mansion of Wright Duchy."
I was amazed because it was Matias's mansion. I didn't think he was this rich. I fell in love with the mansion. I woke up to the truth and immediately shook my head.
This is not what I came here for but the mission. And I also want to know why Matias and Moroccan met. And who is the name of the Moroccan who alerted Moroccan and immediately ran away? I have so many questions in my mind and I don't know what to do. I'm itching to know the truth. But wait, why did Matias bring me to his mansion? And he said he will take care of me? I looked in the distance. Let's use our brains.
I froze at the thought. He was still suspicious of me so he brought me here to question what the truth was.
If so, because this is my role as an Agent. I will do everything just to solve one case.
"Your Grace," said David and they all bowed. I slowly looked at the person they were all bowing to and I saw Matias looking at me with no emotion and he walked closer to my place.
My heart felt like it was going to jump out because of the nervousness because he was getting closer to me. He stopped in front of me and looked me in the eyes.
"So you're a Duke?" I told him immediately.
"Yes, I am."
I bowed before him.
"Nice to meet you and thank you for saving me. I'm Lia, nice to meet you again."
"Lia... hmm." I nodded.
Although I won't admit that his Voice is really beautiful and I miss his voice. He slowly approached me which I stopped and I swallowed hard because he looked at me so intensely as if he was sucking my soul into his body. Until our faces were close together and I saw that the assistants and guards immediately turned their backs. I was not even helped!
"Y-Your Grace..."
"You were flirting with me earlier, right?"
"No way. Maybe it's just your imagination."
"I'm not imagining and I noticed a while ago that I already seen you. Your face is familiar. Have we met before?"
My eyes widened. He remembered me.
"I think, I saw you already."
How can I escape from this? I'm in the hot seat now! Help!
