“You know how to act, right?” Thea looked pointedly at me.
Here we go again…
“Act like a nice shy girl even if I’m planning Archer’s murder in my head.” I grinned at her.
Even though I’ve heard and repeated the same mantra about a hundred times already, it couldn’t bring my excitement down. Not today.
“You can never kill me, Sweetheart.” Archer smirked at me, looking up from his phone.
Ugh!
I almost forgot that he was here too.
“I can virtually murder you.” I informed him.
“Make way, people! Hacker girl coming through!” I yelled as I pushed through the crowd heading to the backyard. “Make way, idiots!” I huffed.Ugh! I hate humans!You might be wondering how I’m being so loud and cool after all the warnings I received from everyone to act nicely at the headquarters.Did she get kicked out or something?Well, no.I’m still at the headquarters.And this place is awesome!Who would’ve guessed that?!Everyone is loyal. Thea, Lucas and Archer weren’t kidding ab
“Mia, will you please stop ignoring me now?” Lucas whined as he sat down next to me at the dining table.Nope!“What’s the problem, Luke? Wasn’t she talking to you just a few minutes ago?” Tony asked as he sat down on my other side.“Hi, Tony!” I greeted with a smile.“Hey, pumpkin!” He smiled back.What is this? Halloween celebration?“I’m going to murder you if you call me that again.” I told him, still smiling.“How about sugar?” He asked.&ldquo
“Why are you so quiet?” Archer asked me when the waiter left to let us decide what we wanted to eat.“It would do you good to remember that I’m not here on my own free will.” I said plainly.I glared at the menu in front of me as if it was the reason I was forced to dress up nice the day before I was supposed to go on a mission where I could actually die.I wouldn’t die tomorrow would I?Because if that was the case, I didn’t want my last meal to be a boring salad!Oh god! I guess, I really am nervous about tomorrow!“I know that I forced you to come here with me but I had a reason for that.” Ar
“Mia, are you ready?” Archer whispered as we observed the scene in front of us.I couldn’t say anything as I took in the scene in front of me.It was all just like the fight at the club I stupidly decided to go to with a fake ID. The only difference was that I wasn’t drunk at the moment.And that small fact made it all more than a gazillion times scarier!Good god! Save me!Archer hadn’t even let me wear my heels for self-defence!The people from our team were fighting the people guarding the warehouse while me and Archer waited for the right moment to help me sneak in.
“What do you think this meeting is about?” Oliver whispered to me, fidgeting in his seat.That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it?Well, not really but okay.“I can tell you what it’s not about. Promotions. Because there is no way that Archer Knight is promoting me in this life!” I huffed, leaning back in my seat as I stared at the plain white ceiling.I’m bored…“You know what this is about, don’t you?” Thea raised an eyebrow at me.I know everything. I’m awesome like that!“Yup!” I s
“Can we have pasta for lunch today, Marcus?” I asked the chef as he served chocolate-chip pancakes for me on a plate.These pancakes smell like heavens!I wish I could’ve just lived in this kitchen!“Sure, Mia! Why not?” He smiled at me. “What kind would you like?” He asked me as he poured some juice for me in a glass.Is that even a question?“Umm… Arrabbiata! Duh! Is there any other kind of tasty pasta?” I snorted as I sat down while Marcus served me my breakfast.“I’ll make some for you then.” He answered with a smile.
“And do you remember what he said when I said that he might torture us?” Lucas asked between laughter.“He was so fucking scared that I was afraid that he might actually wet his pants!” Thea laughed.“You guys are so mean!” Oliver pouted, crossing his arms.Aww!He’s such a little baby!“Hey! Don’t bully poor Ollie!” I said, wrapping my arms around his shoulders.Oliver was just like a little brother to me. He was someone I loved to tease but also protect when someone else teased him.We were all enjoying our lunch, chatting about the time Thea
“Why the fuck did you turn right?” I grunted in pain as I held onto my arm. “You fucking left me unguarded while I hacked into their system, Thea!” I screamed out in pain as Thea cleaned my wounds with some antiseptic.Fuck! That hurts!“Because according to the file with the mission details, the layout of that place was different!” She hissed. “And don’t worry, you’ll be okay.” She reassured me.I know that, woman!But I have more pressing issues to worry about at the moment…“I’m hurt! I’m bleeding for god’s sake, Thea! If Archer found out, he wouldn’t let me go on any other field missions!” I
