All Chapters of Her Eyes of Emerald and Fire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Ash nods,“Of course, Honey.” He’s still scribbling numbers on his notepad, but he glances at her and smirks, “We don’t need guarantees, we just want to spend time with you, and enjoy your company. That doesn’t hold any pressure from us for you to do anything you don’t want to.” She feels the tears welling up, and sniffs a little to make them go away. She is not about to start bawling now. She’s a badass boss bitch who’s here to find moles. Not boyfriends or whatever.Kai’s thumb starts drawing its lazy circles on her back again and she feels the tension drain from her a bit at a time. Her back aches, but it’s surprisingly not bad at the moment. Stress normally makes it flare up, but it seems okay at the moment. She stetches a little, testing it.“Your back okay, Baby?” She nods,“Really good at the moment actually, maybe only a two.” She studies his face, “Nothing to do with you though, I’m sure.” She nudges him gently and he chuckles.“You sure? I give excellent massages.” She furro

Ash sits back and rolls his shoulders and drops his pen on his notepad,“I think I figured some of this financial shit out. Come see.” Eliza and Kai stand to move around the desk to look at what Ash has figured out. He points to a bank statement, “This is his wages from us being paid in, then there are these other payments.” He indicated several different lines of numbers, Eliza just nods, trusting him and following along as best she could, but the numbers were just blending together. Kai hums,“That’s a lot of money over the course of a year. Ten grand a month, so a hundred and twenty thousand per annum. We don’t pay that well, but we’re not exactly stingy.” Eliza notes the salary he was making, two thousand a month. Very respectable, not much more than her lower-level people get. Of course, her people also work for commissions, and can supplement their standard income with the missions they took, but the salary is fixed, you always get that.“Hmm. So, he’s doing it for the money the

Eliza almost goes back to him, but turns to look at Kai who’s moving to his desk to show her. She takes Ash’s hand and pulls him with her. He follows willingly, and looks over her shoulder as she looks over Kai’s. Seth snorts gently and she looks up at him annoyed.“You’ve not read a single page since I left the room, Seth. Get off your damned high horse.” Ash chuckles, and Kai grins. She looks back at the screen, determined to ignore Seth’s attitude. He clearly has a bee in his bonnet about her, but she isn’t here with him, and has no interest in someone so vain and uninteresting. Sure, he’s handsome, but he has no substance to him. Unlike the twins who have a depth to them she likes... Nope, not thinking about that now.She shakes herself gently, moving those thoughts to the side, and focusing on the people on the screen. Lisa’s there as is Finn. The other two are presumably James and Stella. There could be others, but this felt like the minimum number of people for a mission like t

Ash grins and Eliza continues,“Exactly. The Guild had eyes on several groups, but theirs was the only one that fitted with the Guild’s thing of only going after the bad guys, and not hurting the innocent or undeserving. They fitted in with us three girls quickly. And we became a full six-man team. For the most part, there were some missions not requiring all of us, but I tried to make plans that needed us all, to spread the commissions equally among us.” He furrows his brows,“Commissions?” She nods,“We all get a fixed monthly amount, which varies depending on your rank in the Guild. Then we get commissions on top for the missions we do. The more dangerous, or complex the mission the higher the commission. We always fought for the best paying jobs, and we always came out on top. Soon we were ranked the best in London, then they started ranking across the Guild. We were already top in the Guild but Charlie and Serena wanted to score more points.” He smirks,“Competitive sisters you’v

They agree to tackle James last, as he’s the probable leader of the group. And once Anthony came back to the office to inform them of the moles being in separate cells in the dungeon. The four of them make their way down, they’re in the guard room when Anthony turns to them.“Sirs, might I take Lisa? She was under my employ, and I didn’t see this. I feel responsible and would like to correct my error in judgement.” Ash looks at Eliza who shrugs,“Your house, your rules.” She says, leaning against the wall. She notices the video and audio feeds of each of the rooms, and walks over to look at them, Kai joins her and takes in the views of the four cells that are now occupied.The four of them are reacting very differently to their new situation. Lisa’s sitting on the bed, her foot tapping nervously. James is perfectly still, sitting on the bed, looking straight ahead. Stella’s pacing her cell clearly freaking out. Finnbarr was openly sobbing, sitting on the bed.“My suggestion, however,
