My Boss Loves Me Crossfire 7
I took a deep breath to steady myself, then stepped out of the bathtub to grab some bandages from the cabinet.Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I saw that blood had soaked nearly the entire white shirt on my hands. Even a few drops on my face were visible.I looked like Dexter, freshly mutilated a victim.I grabbed two boxes of bandages and adhesive tape, as well as a new pair of scissors, and headed back to her. Alice still hadn't opened her eyes.A sense of panic crept over me. Could she have bled to death?Kneeling beside her, I opened the bandages. I took a towel that was slightly stained with blood from her shoulder and was shocked when I looked at it. The wound on her shoulder was already closed.I blinked a few times, but I couldn't see the wound gaping anymore. There was only a slight wound that didn't look like a gunshot wound at all. I stared at it for a minute, hoping it would suddenly open again.Did Humbert hit me in the head earlier?Why was I only focused on gett

"So, where do I need to drop you off?" I asked as Alice was busy strapping her katana belt on her shoulder.Alice glanced at me for a moment, this time she smiled, a genuine smile at me. For a moment, I couldn't take my eyes off her face. Alice turned around and walked towards the basement exit door. I blinked, looking at her back as she walked away, "Alice, wait-"I walked out of my car while cursing as Alice walked faster."Alice!"But she didn't stop or even look back. I ran after her while she disappeared from behind the basement exit door. The sound of cars and honking greeted me on the street. But she was gone. There were only a few pedestrians, and none of them carried a samurai sword on their back. I stood there for five full minutes looking at the entire street around my apartment, but she disappeared into thin air.I smiled to myself and walked back into the basement. At least this time I knew her name.***For a week, the Crossfire Tracking Device had kept me busy with its f

Two full days...For forty-eight hours, I tried to find out and track his whereabouts. But there wasn't a single clue leading to him. I had checked everything related to him, even asking for Dean's help to track him. After finding the initials left in his encryption program, I decided to postpone the first CTD launch for a week.Tonight is the Crossfire Inc. charity night. An annual event held to raise charitable funds that will later be distributed to various charity organizations owned by Crossfire Inc.As the CEO, I have to attend it with Mr. Oswealth, who is the organizer. This is the only upscale social event that I regularly attend.Or rather, I am obliged to attend.I don't mind events like this, except for the first two hours. Socializing with the upper class is not my favorite job. Their conversations always revolve around money, sports cars, botox, gossip, and other things that almost make me think that spending time with Humbert Bale would be better."Mr. Lancaster!" a scree

Returning with two glasses of champagne, one for myself and one for Alice of course, I noticed Nicholas Shaw was no longer in his previous spot. Only Alice remained, glancing at me faintly. She took a glass from my hand and drank as we engaged in conversation.“Your name isn’t Alice?” I mumbled.Her eyebrows lifted slightly. “Not really important, is it?”For me, I thought before sipping my own glass, it was. "My name is Anya, but it’s just a pseudonym." She sipped her champagne again, looking a bit different."Different from usual? Not sitting and full of bruises?”She chuckled, making me slightly surprised. I didn’t know she could laugh. “You’re different as well,” I mumbled.Right as she was about to open her mouth to reply, a loud clink caught both of our attention. Reluctantly, I shifted my gaze away from her, following her line of sight. A butler stood on a small podium, announcing that dinner would begin shortly.I glanced back at Alice. "You can join me at my table," I offered.

"Did you get it?"This morning, I visited Paul and Dean's office. After last night, I realized that I still had no information about Alice. None at all.I didn't have a chance to ask her directly last night, or rather, I don't remember. Like most men, my brain stops working when I'm near a beautiful woman. Plus, I doubt she would answer my question. So, I hoped that Dean would get some information about her.Dean yawned in his seat, while Paul hadn't arrived yet. It was still 7 in the morning."No, the bug isn't harmful," he replied while yawning again. Sometimes, I think Dean lives in the office, and I think my guess is right."I need information about the owner, I don't care about the bug," I replied, leaning against the door."Well, you know getting it won't be easy, Lancaster," he replied sarcastically. I could clearly see the bags under his eyes."Rest, Dean. You need it," I muttered before leaving his office.I tried to focus all my attention on the Crossfire Tracking Device pro

"That was part of the plan," she replied, taking her katana and walking past me. "I'll explain it to you on the way."For a moment, I wanted to pull her back and shake her until she stopped playing games and started explaining all of this. Someone had just shot at us, and she was saying it was all part of her plan?The psycho alarm in my head went off again. 'Psycho, Luke! This woman is psycho!'"Are you coming?" she turned with a questioning look. But her face didn't look psycho.Without answering her, I followed her to the elevator. Being alone with a beautiful woman in a small space shouldn't make me nervous. I've never felt nervous in any situation.But tonight was different. No, it's always different with Alice.I ignored my heart beating faster and searched for a more reasonable explanation. Maybe it's just the adrenaline rush after seeing someone shoot at my car. Yeah, that's it."They never tried to kill me before," I muttered as we walked to the basement."Because they're not

I never expected Alice to live in a place like this. The apartment looks old and... uncared for. We even had to take the regular stairs since the building's old elevator is broken. Yet I pay her thousands of dollars for her services every time I need saving, I thought while following her up to the 5th floor."You know... my apartment is safer than this place," I said again as Alice opened the door with a regular key."Your apartment is too flashy," she replied shortly.Even though I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on my apartment and its security system. I half-heartedly followed Alice into her apartment.Its simple and neutral interior really suits the owner's personality.The dull white walls were adorned with a few flower paintings, and the only striking color in the room was the fuchsia sofa in the middle.And it seemed like Alice didn't have a TV, but rather several large bookshelves covering part of the walls. On one side of the room, a desk with a sophisticated computer

Night had fallen when we left his apartment building. Riding in his Prius, we followed the GPS indicating Erik's current location. I recognized the area; the abandoned factory had been in dispute for the past eight years and I knew it because Crossfire Inc. had considered buying it a few years ago. It started to rain as we neared our destination, and Alice had been silent since we left, making the atmosphere awkward. Especially when I remembered the incident half an hour ago..."You have to turn right at the next intersection," I murmured beside her. She just nodded slightly in response."So, who is Erik?" I asked to start a conversation."Someone," she replied curtly."He's not your boyfriend, nor your family. So, is he your friend?" I bombarded her to push her.Alice smiled thinly at my question. "I don't have friends," she uttered."Is Erik also at the same place as me?"My question made her glance at me for a split second."The same place?""Not your boyfriend, family, or friend,"
