The Knights

(Master of Deception) 16

The girl watched her boss outside who was now talking to Teodore. Both of them looked serious while talking so he just went straight to the pantry.

She took a cup before filling it with water. He will direct what you swallow. To this day, he is still not upset because of that kiss.

"Astreille."

He hurried out of the pantry when he heard the boss call him. She smiled at Teodore before waving her hand slowly, the man also waved vigorously

He turned to the man next to him who now looked at him badly. She swallowed hard before bowing her head. "B-Why?"

"Teodore sent a message to your friend, you don't have to worry about that anymore," he explained coldly.

She just nodded her head. "O-Okay."

"Astreille, we're going to have lunch in the cafeteria. Are you with us?" Teodore's kindness to him.

"All right," he replied cheerfully.

"Boss, we're down first--"

"I'll come with you," the man quickly interrupted Teodore.

"Ha? 'Diba boss' you don't eat in the cafeteria? You always deliver here," Teodore asked in surprise.

"I own this agency, Teodore, so I have all the rights to eat whenever I want." Teo was silent because of that. He even smiled awkwardly.

"Song," he replied.

Astreille gulped when Xord looked at her, eventually he turned his gaze back to Teodore. "Go ahead first, we'll be next."

The young man scratched his neck before nodding. "All right, boss. Bye Astre!"

She smiled at Teodore before waving her hand. "Bye bye."

She watched him ride the elevator until the door closed. Astreille turned to the boss who now still looked down on her.

She bowed tearfully because she couldn't stand those stares. "B-Why?"

His legs automatically retreated as the man straightened up. He stepped closer before stretching to make his face level.

"I don't like the way you treat other guys like you're so happy with them. Stop being so kind, Astreille, I might get you pregnant if you continue disobeying me," she whispered before walking straight to her own. table.

The girl bit her lower lip hard and hurried into her own office. She took her shoulder bag and put her pouch and cellphone there.

I might get you pregnant.

He shook his head violently.

Is this some sort of blackmail again? She's supposed to answer back, but she doesn't have any strength to do so. Besides, when he answered it back, it might kiss him again.

She is already trying to stay away from it so if possible, it would be better if her skin doesn't stick to the man anymore. He's giving her goosebumps every time he's near.

She left the room when she saw that the man had called her. He just followed it on foot and they also took the elevator together. A long silence enveloped the four corners of the elevator as Astreille played with the hem of the dress.

The elevator opened on the 5th floor. The two men rode and bowed to his boss. She bowed her head shyly because she was the only woman inside.

He looked up when he felt the gaze of the two men on him. He was taken aback by its looks, as if with a different hint.

"Hi, miss, what's your name? You're beautiful," one of them greeted with a smile with a streak of affection in his eyes.

Out of fear, Astreille was caught in her boss's clothes. Xord held her hand before gazing at the two guys at the back.

"Boss." The two were afraid to bow to the man when they saw his frightening stare.

His boss pulled him even closer. He could not calm down because he was afraid of the two men behind them.

Astreille's grip tightened on the man's dress as he spoke.

"Names?" he asked the two guys.

"Marco D-Dela Fuente, b-boss."

"Crison M-Marcis please."

Astreille pulled the man slightly as the elevator opened. Xord quickly pulled her to get off from the elevator.

The door was about to close when Xord stopped it using his hand. It turned to the two men inside.

"Dela Fuente, Marcis, I don't want to see your faces again inside this agency. Pack your things and get a new job. Make sure I won't be able to track you down, you won't get the sun on time that I may find you. "

Even Astreille turned pale when she heard that, she can't blame the two guys when they stood frozen inside the elevator.

Astreille could no longer speak when the man pulled her to the wide floor which serves as the agency's cafeteria. The whole floor was full of chairs and tables, there was also a kitchen in the very corner where maybe the food was cooked.

Astreille smiled awkwardly at the four guys as they approached them. The four of them looked down at the hands they were holding so the girl immediately withdrew her hand.

The man supports her by sitting in a chair. Then it sidestepped him.

"H-Hey, boss, I thought you didn't want to eat here?" Kyel asked in shock with pitying lips.

"Yeah, you said loudly, boss," Greg agreed with his friend.

"If you shut up, can you keep your mouths shut?" It's a cold promise to those ahead.

Astreille giggled when she saw the three guys giving death glares at each other.

"This is new, I thought you don't like crowded places, boss," Ephraim asked, smiling before looking at the girl.

Astonished, he turned to them because he thought the four were giving. What's wrong with her face? Does he have dirt on his face? Word after word filled his mind because of those stares.

He was shocked to hear the gunshot of the man next to him. It pointed the gun at those in front.

"Eat or your heads will blow up. Choose."

Even he covered his mouth out of fear. The four men seemed to be used to it because they laughed as they just followed.

She gulped while looking at the gun. Is this even normal?
