Enemies in Disguise Chapter 36
Office hours ended without any real chaos for once. Julian had been filled up with workload, which, thankfully, kept his mouth shut for most of the day. I didn’t have to endure another round of his ridiculous theories about me and Isabella.Everyone was too busy finishing their reports that when the clock finally struck to six, they packed up their things almost instantly. One by one, my co-workers packed up their desks and headed out, their chatter echoing across the hallway.“Heading out late again?” Julian’s voice interrupted my thoughts.I didn’t bother looking up. “Still got a few things to finish.”“Alright, just try not to burn yourself out.”I stayed behind, pretending to review documents even though I already passed this a long time ago. Truth was, I didn’t feel like going home just yet. My body’s itching for some action and a chance to break a sweat.Then a brilliant idea came to me.Isabella was heading toward the elevator alone. She didn’t look busy, unlike the past few da

“Come in.”I pushed the door open and stepped into the room that smelled whiskey and cigarette. The man sat behind a span desk with an extension, relaxed as he turned his chair towards my direction. He smiled when he saw me. “Mr. Russo. Right on time.”I gave a short nod, closing the door behind me. “You called for me, Sir?”“Have a seat.” He gestured to the chair across his desk. I looked around and realized that he doesn’t have any secretary here. That earned him my respect for living an ordinary and humble life.I sat down and that gesture made me feel the rhythmic pounding in my chest which hadn’t slowed since Julian’s teasing earlier. My hands trembled for the first time. I’d seen countless corpses, some of them my own doing, yet none of them ever made me shake. Not even the filthy, dirty, bloodied ones. But apparently, a co-worker’s stupid assumption about someone I shouldn’t even be thinking about did.“Your probationary period is almost up,” Mr. Jafersons started, leaning back

I don’t understand why Isabella is getting more and more attractive these days. She was just across the room, head slightly tilted as she read through a pile of reports. There’s nothing new, really, just the same clean corporate attire, reading glasses, and her neatly tied hair. But for some reason, I couldn’t look away today. My mind couldn't stop replaying what happened last night. Isabella didn’t have any plans on staying over last night, but Daisy wouldn’t stop crying no matter what the handler or I did. The little human might have set up an evil plan herself, because as soon as Isabella held her in her arms, the baby calmed down almost instantly.By the time Daisy finally fell asleep, Isabella was too exhausted to go home. She dozed off right there on the couch, with Daisy curled up on her chest.“Keigh, are you even listening?”I blinked. Julian was leaning against the edge of my cubicle, tracing where my eyes were. “Hmm?”He smirked. “Man, you’ve been staring at Ms. Moretti

Isabella and I felt off when we reached the handler’s place. The house felt strangely quiet when we stepped in, but in a way that made us think we needed our weapons. After everything that had happened, the faint sound of the handler’s tiny voice and Daisy’s cheerful squealing were the most peaceful thing I’d heard in days. Even though we only actually spent a night away from the city.“Finally! Can’t wait to squish her radish legs.” Isabella muttered. We exchanged a look before stepping fully inside. My body loosened in an instant from the familiar scent of what you’d expect from a home: fresh-brewed coffee, television, and the sound of the flame coming from the fireplace. I heard Daisy’s laugh echo from the living room, and I’m not even exaggerating that laugh made my whole body melt. She was lying on her play mat, her chubby legs kicking, a grin plastered on her small face as the handler wiggled a stuffed rabbit in front of her.“Oh, you’re bac—” His eyes landed to Isabella, and

When I woke up, I discovered that the fierce storm had finally passed. The remnants of the storm lingered along the road, where branches and leaves scattered all over the road. The room was cold, but the person right next to me made it feel warm. For a moment, I didn’t move. I just watched her, captivated by the scene before me. Isabella's face appeared almost angelic as she slept. Despite her sharp features, her strands of hair fell gracefully across her forehead, and her slightly parted lips, brought a sense of peace to the room. I found myself lost at how such beauty could exist so effortlessly even in such a moment. I exhaled quietly, running a hand through my hair, then looked under the blanket. Right. The blanket was the only thing separating us from the cold air. Last night was a moment of what shouldn’t have happened but did anyway.Isabella moved, and I looked away, pretending that I just had woken up. She jolted up and yanked the blanket toward her with exaggerated force,

“Just one bed,” I said as I scanned the room.The room was far from grand, almost as if the man just decided to offer this forgotten attic space for us to use. A single, narrow bed occupied the center, its thin mattress sagging in the middle, covered by a faded sheet that might’ve once been white. I stared at it for a good three seconds, wondering if the stains were part of the design.A lamp sits on the side of the bed, its bulb struggling to emit light but enough to reveal the peeling paint and stains on the walls that whispered stories of loneliness and despair. In the corner, an old air conditioner hummed weakly, seemingly losing its breath anytime. Good thing that tonight was cold because of the storm.“Well, Captain Obvious, we’re lucky it even has a roof.” Isabella replied, tossing my jacket onto the table. She went to the bathroom to check it herself. I kicked off my shoes and socks, hanging them on a clothes rack. My clothes were damp and heavy, sticking uncomfortably to my
