Nathan looked at me when I got home at six o'clock less, watching my steps so that I became awkward being noticed in such a way.
"Miss, good afternoon." Howard greeted me. I think he was following me. What if Mrs Oguri is willing to testify that I leaked her company secrets in court.
"Howard's Night..." I brought two big Giordano pizzas to share. "I brought you pizza. Let's eat." On the way home I thought, I'd better get out of the way to LA instead of being the object of surveillance here.
"We're going to dinner..." Nathan answered.
"What's wrong. Make Deborah and the others okay. Heated for breakfast can still, besides I'm hungry. Eating a little is okay..." Trying to be normal, that's what I have to do now to save my own life. There's nothing else.
"Where's dinner?" I was scared, but I had to hide it as best I could. I felt he just needed proof to corner me, one little piece of evidence to lead me to my death.
"Not so far from here."
"Ohh well, it's not casual."
"Yes, it's casual."
"Okay, I go upstairs first." I'll try to ask you to come back to LA for dinner. "I'm down at 7." I disappeared from the middle room. It was like escaping a pinhole.
I wear a long-sleeved peach color blouse with pretty ruffles details and black trousers, ballerina pump is comfortable and ready for dinner.
"Come?" He only wears casual shirts with rolled up sleeves and white t-shirts inside. It looks relaxed but it is me who thumped every time I faced him.
Picked up the car keys and walked out while the guards were nowhere to be seen.
"You didn't bring a bodyguard..." He watched his phone as we walked.
"Later John's coming with another car, um.just a restaurant not far from here."
"Ohh well." I sat next to him in that Audi Q8 SUV. Feeling begins to flutter erratically again. Do I just use my fear to leave. I just kept quiet about the options I chose.
"Why are you so quiet?" His words surprised me. He glanced at me who looked surprised. "Did I surprise you..." She smiled a little.
"I'm thinking back to LA tomorrow, there's a system change request I made in some of the subsidiaries, me and their chief financial officer should discuss this. I can't hand this over to the staff." I'm talking now to ask to go back to LA. "After all, that guy must have you sorted out, right? It's not good to be on vacation on a weekday like this... Thursday should have been my meeting with them. So I want to ask permission to go back first."
"Cancel it, I get the address of hit man Elizabeth Ailes, he'll be brought here tomorrow. You're not going anywhere. It's not safe in LA to cancel the meeting."
"You got Elizabeth Ailes' hit man, and the police haven't found him yet. How can you find her." This Nathan is really terrible, how could he have such a deft man.
"I can." He won't tell me the details.
"Give it to the police, I don't want to kill anyone with my hands anymore. Don't kill them."
"Hmm. later, they need to be beaten up a little first."
"Nathan you don't have to do this. Just leave them to the police."
"I can do a lot more effectively than Nathalie's police. You don't have to be afraid, even Sean can arrange their transportation by the police, I make their job easier. Hiding you from that stupid cop I could do it if I wanted to."
Does he assume I have anything to do with the police or at least close to them.
"Why do you want to go? Feeling uncomfortable with me because of last night..." I kept quiet, not knowing how to answer. But I stick to my role to survive in friend status.
"No, I just feel responsible for my work. Not uncomfortable... I know you're good to me." I tried to smile at him. He looked at me for a moment, my heart pounding unbearably now. What happened last night was in my head again. My face is heating up, my heart is pounding, how can I survive here.
"Why? You just want to be friends? I'm not ideal to be your lover?" I was stuck when he just stopped on a street. He just wanted to play me now, why would he ask such a thing. We are not friends enough. Wasn't casual enough se*x last night. Why do I hate how he cornered me and played me.
"Nathan isn't, I'm just your staff, how do I think having more of a relationship than a friend with you, we should only have a professional relationship..."
"So my girlfriend who previously had no problem with my background. You obviously have higher standards, apparently."
"I'm just a staff, not the right person to be your lover, should be your lover is a class person like Amanda. Not like me... We're just friends."
"That determining the right person is my point of view, not yours." I just smile.
"I don't like high risk I told you..." I laughed myself saying that phrase. But he didn't seem to like that answer.
I kept quiet, ..consider my position that I said was breaking up with my friend.
"I'm not saying I don't want to, just maybe I'm not ready or maybe I'm not sure we're going to do well. You're the perfect guy, who chases you a lot, I think we're in friend status, it's safer, I told you I didn't think last night you should be my girlfriend, it's just my way of explaining that I'm not who you think I am ..." I smiled but actually various torturous thoughts played in my head.
"Hmm so. That means I still have a chance." She smiled in response to me, I smiled back at her. Half of which I felt he must have laughed at me inwardly. For God's sake I want to get out of this mission.
"Now that we're friends, I thank you, I know you're good, you're even looking for my assailant you're doing everything you can, just giving it time... I think we need more time to get to know each other..." I can only hang up my words now.
"I really don't like your friend's term. But okay, I don't think I can force you either." I don't know what he's planning now.
We got to the restaurant where we were going to have dinner, it was not so far from Belden Ave.
An Italian restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, close to the view of the lake above, if it is daytime will be very good.
"If it's noon today this restaurant will be very good."
"Yes, I think so."
"You ever been here?" I asked as I walked into the room with his servant showing us the table. He booked a spot upstairs, he said the view was better.
"A few times..."
We headed to our seats, and a few moments later we got to where we were. The waiter gave us a menu book.
"You! Now you can't run anymore!" One suddenly made a sound, I lifted my face from the menu book instantly.
"Mrs Oguri..." Nathan saw me, I saw him. The madam looked at me like she was looking at her great enemy.
This bastard brought me here to set me up! Damnit damnit!
😘😘😘😘😘😘
continue tomorrow yaaa.
