The next day , Beatrice explained what happened that night. She had actually seen Lucian kissing Allison. But acted like she did'nt see anything.
" Ahh shut up Bae" Allison said ask she covered herself with the blanket. She too couldn't believe it. But she remembered a bit of what happened.
Allison told her senior colleague that she would be coming in late. She wanted to surprise her boss with a delicious delicacy for helping her. On her way to the supermarket she bumped into someone. His long brown hair reached shoulder length. His eyes shines with youthfulness.
"Sorry" Allison apologized for not seeing on time to avoid bumping into him
" You don't have to bother" he said. Then he walked out of there . Allison immediately forgot about everything.
She continued shopping, she bought a few foodstuffs. Well, it was her money and she was not financially bouyant. She just wanted to surprise Lucian with a Chinese delicacy.
***********
Lucian was on a phone call.
" Don't come here" he warned the person on the other line. It was obvious he was upset about something.
Allison was done cooking the food when he heard him saying that. She helped Beatrice set the dining table.
They weren't family and everyone knows that as they were both strangers to that home it wouldn't be nice sharing the table with their boss. He was so cold. They could not guess what he was thinking. He doesn't give out much facial expressions.
They both went to their ways to continue with whatever they were doing. That night seemed to be a long night because Allison felt so restless. She decided to come out for some fresh air. She opened her room door and walked out. She stared into the stars.
" Having troubles sleeping?" Lucian asked her. Allison nod her head in response to his question. He was smoking at the balcony. She did'nt expect him to be a smoker. Lucian puffed out the smoke from his cigarette. He later threw it away when he saw how uneasy she was.
" Let's play a game" Lucian suggested.
" Okay?" It would have been a fine suggestion to Allison if the person was'nt her boss. "So what game are we playing " she asked.
Lucian smirked and walked inside.
" Meet me in my room " she heard him saying. It did'nt take time to get to his room. Allison choose the first game to play which was chess. They played for some time. Lucian notice that she wasn't easy to beat.
" Checkmate " Lucian said with a grin.
" No way " Allison protested. " You cheated right?" She went further while Lucian gave her a 'really?' look.
" Now it's my turn to choose a game " He said." Let's play truth or dare".
"You have got to be kidding me " Allison said.
" Let's start " Lucian said but it sounded more like an order.
He spinned a pencil and the end landed her.
"So, truth or dare?" He asked.
"Truth," Allison did'ntv hesitate to answer.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" He wasn't the type of guy that plays these kind of games but curiosity to know her more was killing him.
Somehow what he said sounded childish in his ears. He was about to paraphrase his words when he heard her reply with a no. She was very gorgeous girl. She could match Beatrice beauty or even surpassed it. He looked at her with a scrutinising gaze. She did look malnourished.
Allison repeated audibly again thinking that maybe her voice was a bit lower before. They just sat there in silence. Suddenly, there was gun shots heard from outside. She looked at Lucian who was surprisely calm.
" Go to your room," he said to her
" What is happening?" Yueying asked. She was really perplexed. " What the hell is happening?" She kept asking. She was shaking uncontrollably, like a leaf rustled by the wind. She tried to keep her calm but no matter the words she said to herself, she couldn't just stop shaking. Lucian stood there just looking at her.
" I'm leaving, stay inside" he told her.
" Huh?" Allison was confused. What was he supposed to do outside?
" Call the police," she said with trembling voice. The sound of gunshots and voices became louder.
The next moment, Lucian jumped the window. He didn't want to do this in her front but he had no option, and besides he wanted to settle scores with this guy himself.
Allison's mouth was left agape. She ran to the window to check if he has broken a rib or limb but to her surprise he landed perfectly. She was more shocked when she saw him with a gun.
Allison ran out of the room to check on Beatrice. She saw her drinking tea in the living room. Lucian had instructed her to keep an eye on Allison and the workers inside.
*********************************
Lucian walked down when someone called out to him. " Boss." Lu Quing raised his gun and pointed at a range close to the man's head. A crushing sound came out along with a thud. The baddits were quivering in fear. Lucian's aura engulfed all of them. They wanted to retreat. There were pools of blood everywhere. They were mafias but they couldn't match up Lucian and his men.
Lu Quing dragged one of the baddits that was still alive. The man was lying down helplessly on the ground.
" Take him to the basement" Lu Quing told one of his men.
" Make sure you torture him until he speaks up" he continued.
Allison has been watching everything since it started. At first, Beatrice didn't allow her but she had no option since Allison persisted. To Allison , Lucian's action was excessively harsh and violet. Besides, she was taken aback by Beatrice seemingly untroubled demeanor. Beatrice appeared calm as though nothing has happened.
" I think is best if you go to your room" Beatrice told her.
Allison couldn't sleep that night, she was having a hard time falling asleep, she kept rolling around in bed. She walked out of the room to check if Lucian was back. She turned the doorknob which was unlocked. She could hear the sound of rushing water. Suddenly, the tap was turned off . She wanted to run out when she heard his voice " Do you need something from me " he said with a smirk.
'OMG' that was her screaming in her head. His body looks like it was chiseled from heaven. His biceps were so defined and he has the perfect V-shape going on,his body so smooth. There was a large dragon tattoo at his back.To Allison it looked like it was alive which scared her a lot. He looked like a Greek god. Her cheek turned red. Why was she reacting like this? 'I better leave this room,' she said to herself. But leaving like this would make her look like the stupid one . She has to give him an explanation so that he could leave her off the hook.
" Are you a mafia ?" Allison didn't know when the word slipped out of her mouth. She just kept seeing the pools of blood. She couldn't stop that memory from occupying her mind. He just stared at her, even if he explained it would sound absurd to the young lady.
Allison slowly leaned her head on his shoulders when he held her, she was still a bit scared. Their mutual interaction seemed to cause a spark. The next moment, Luciann bent over and planted a passionate kiss on her lips.
