Dex on the other hand was totally blown away to see this other soft and enchanting part of Phoenix. He could tell that behind all that hate, anger and pain she was experiencing, was an innocent beauty crying out to be released. This made him wonder who she was and why she was this frigid. He could tell from her behaviour that she hadn't experienced love in her life. So he vowed within himself to make her rediscover this hidden beauty in her."Blake, can we leave now?" Dex asked for the second time while stroking her palm tenderly. Instantly, Phoenix was freed from the temporal love spell. She quickly took Dex's hand that was fondling with hers and squeeze it tightly while maintaining a pleasant smile. "Where do you suggest we go?""Probably a club bar. We could toast to your new job at the bar and have some fun at the club section." Dex replied while overlooking Phoenix's bone-crushing grip or the minor pain he was feeling."But I'm not dressed for that occasion." Phoenix slowly rel

"I'm fine!" Dex said dismissively and led Phoenix out of the club bar."Are you hurt, lover boy," Phoenix chuckled as they both got into the car."Yes, my pride was hurt." Dex started the engine and speed off."How can I make it up to you for being a good sport?" Phoenix slowly trailed her finger up his thigh."How about allowing me to kiss you for a start." Dex pulled the car to a stop in the middle of a desert street. He left the engine running, unhooked his seat belt and turned to face Phoenix. "Just one kiss and I won't ask for more, tonight.""Hmm! Such a delicious offer!" Phoenix grabbed Dex by the collar and pulled him closer. She stared into his hypnotic blue eye and whispered. "Go ahead and kiss because you've earned it."A broad smile framed Dex's face as he drew closer and closer to Phoenix's lips."You have such full and sexy lips." Dex teasingly brushed his lips against hers while holding her intense gaze. It was difficult to read the emotions in her eyes and Dex wondered

Back at the club, the female tracker assigned to monitor Phoenix was placed into a state of panic when she discovered her partner dead in the pool of his blood.It was difficult to tell who brutally stab him in the midst of so many badly injured clubbers and she had no clue where her target was.She had no idea how the fight started or who instigated the fight in the boisterous atmosphere. All she knew was that one minute, he eyes were on her target and the next minute, her partner was making her duck from a drunk fool throwing a fist in their direction. As the fight got more intense, she got separated from her partner and even had to fend off some crazy men who were taking advantage of the fight to molest vulnerable girls.After the whole commotion settled and she discovered her plight, she quickly put a call to her third partner back at the hotel and informed him of the tragic incident."Do you still have eyes on the girl?" Her partner asked in an expressionless tone as if the loss

The only reason why he was a little bit subtle with her was because of the feelings he had for her and she knew that. Otherwise, he would have subjected her to some severe punishment for flaunting his other before the debriefing section."Lara, you disregarded a direct order and this is not acceptable. We operate by a code and that code is what keeps us alive and stronger. Making direct contact with the target was the most reckless decision you have ever made. I thought you were the smartest one on this team but today, you prove me wrong.""Whatever!" Lara hissed furiously.Jack overlooked her sarcasm and rudeness as he tried to talk some sense into her."You should have aborted the mission and returned to base when I told you so. Remember we were a perfect team of four before Master Lin introduced you to us. We are a family and families stick together. We can't afford any loose ends on this team. You know the consequences of betraying the team and I advise you to think again before y

Jack couldn't help but chuckle at the many unnecessary condiments in his hand for just two packs of noodles. He knew Lara was hopeless at anything related to cooking even though she was one of the greatest food critics in the mansion.He watched with amusement as Lara slammed the refrigerator shut and walked towards the sink to wash her hands."You know, frowning makes you even more beautiful," Jack said beaming. He watched Lara pickup a frypan and placed it on the gas cooker.Lara turned on the cooker and pondered what Jack usually did first anytime he made noddles for her.'Water.'Ding!A bell rang in Lara's head. She took a bowl and got some water. She carefully turned it into the pan while wondering what to do next.'The noddles should go into the water, right?'Lara ransacked her brain for some noddles cooking tips. She pick up the noddles packs tour them open and threw them into the pan, causing slightly heated water to splash."You know you don't have to punish yourself any l
