Chapter 13

Present

Alexander, the chief, slapped Heather, making her lower lip bleed.

He kept shouting, and Heather just looked at him with confusion, waiting for him to finish his non-stoping talking.

"Won't you say something Captain how could you do something like that."

She didn't say anything. She glared at him and then turned towards the door with a smirk.

"Curiosity killed the cat officer Rick."

She opened the door and saw him standing there with a smile which vanished as soon as he saw her.

"I-i was just passing by and was worried. I wasn't trying to listen at the conversation."

"Really, Officer Rick, i could believe you if i wanted, but guess what- I don't. I could also assume that this report wasn't done by me. "

She then turned towards the chief after slamming the door on Rick. She took the report from his office and had a look.

She started laughing and then looked at Alexander.

"I'm sure you had the same reaction, didn't you?"

Her voice was cold, and then her look fell on the door.

"Whoever did that should have done better. Neither me nor Robert did that!"

Alexander didn't even know what to say. If he agreed, he would automatically show to her that he knew all of this, but if he denied Heather would continue and make him understand, it wasn't her.

When he tried to say something, he was immediately interrupted.

"Also, let me remind you something, sir. I don't accept such behavior when I'm only a rank below you and have almost the same rights as you. If you dare to do that again to me or anyone here, you will regret it."

She furiously headed towards the door and suddenly turned to him again, making him flinch.

"Take better care of your pets, will you? It would be a shame if something happened to them."

She slammed the door and left from there. She forgot about her bloody lips and just angrily walked to her office.

Almost everyone heard what happened in there, but no one dared to look at her.

She was like the devil.

As she was walking at her desk, she saw Robert awake. She didn't want to talk to him since he would get mad at her for taking his place and getting slapped.

She awkwardly looked for a second and then turned around, moving on the opposite way.

On the other hand, Robert didn't see the blood but only heard what happened in the office.

As soon as he saw her turning, he got up, making his chair fall on the ground. The sound got the attention of everyone and looked at him, including Heather.

She thought that he had fallen down.

Robert glared at everyone. He was like the reaper, and everyone got chills down their spines.

A devil and a repear, really an unbeatable duo.

He then got a bit shocked.

"Maybe i shouldn't have glared at them. Sorry, guys."

He thought to himself and finally looked in the same direction as Heather.

If being angry from just hearing chief shouting at Heather wasn't enough. Now he got furious seeing her lips with blood.

Heather ran away at the storage room, hoping he wouldn't see her going there.

Unfortunately for her, Robert was a great runner. As she was about to close the storage door, she saw a hand blocking it.

"Open the door, Heather. Please."

She didn't want to hurt him, so she opened it.

His face was like those paintings that you dont get the meaning, no matter how much you look at them.
