Artemis' POV
"Stay alert and don't do things on your own," reminded the captain of Zelo's bodyguards, Junio. He was looking at me as if he was reminding me of that.
I know that they all don't really trust me because they are also not happy with Zelo's decision to make me his bodyguards after the havoc I have caused in the Palais.
I just shrugged my shoulders when I saw how they seemed to be judging my entire personality.
"Looks like Captain doesn't trust us," Welsey whispered to me. I just grinned there. Welsey always tried to talk to me because even he and Onda were always being treated differently. They thought that maybe we were spies sent by someone. They must really think that way when it comes to
Artemis' POV"Thanks for that," I said to the Governor with a smile. I tried to smile seductively."No problem, Gorgeous. Are you with someone?” he asked but the eyes were looking at my body. I smirked. Looks like this will be a really easy task, huh?"Hmm, you? I think I would like to spend the night with you rather than go back to my friends," I smirkingly said but couldn't help to twist my lips secretly when I saw the place inside. People are really wild here. They are paying women who dance on stage purely naked. There are people who kiss around or fuck rather and many people also make the club a gambling site. And the funny thing is most of the people here are part of the government, powerful people, or some celebrities. So that's why they needed membership, huh?
Artemis' POVWell, it looks like I won't be able to get an answer from him anymore. I just shrugged my shoulders before taking some information and his things as I left the room. He was now wearing different clothes and I also took his cellphone. My brother will be able to hack this. I'm pretty sure that people will tell him about the person he was with. It's better for him to think that I stole something rather than that I stole information.No one noticed me when I went out because everyone was too busy. They are all busy doing illegal things. If I can just do things, I will destroy them but because the people inside are powerful, the authorities will have a hard time with them. If I tell Zelo about this, he'll surely do something and make those sitting hot. So we needed to carefully plan everything before we moved. You can't just
Artemis' POV We were both silent as the car returned to Palais. I kept looking at him but he didn't look back at me. His cold eyes remained as his eyes were on the road. I just bit my lip hard and sighed. I also couldn't apologize because there was nothing wrong with what I did. I just did the right thing. I already told him before that I would help to get the mastermind of the kidnapping. This is my way of helping, so what's his problem? I don't see anything wrong. I can't just let him know my moves too especially since I know he won't agree. He always wanted the work to be polished while I often wanted to get work done quickly. "Still mad?" I asked even though I knew that he was because he looked at the road as if it did something wrong and he was gripping the steeri
Artemis' POV“It was the Governor that I followed. I got information that he has the same tattoo as the Vice President and the same one as the suspect," I said so he immediately frowned.“Governor Della Fuente? The Governor who pays for women so he can bed them?” His brow furrowed so I immediately grinned and nodded."It was an easy job, especially since he has a womanizing background," I said arrogantly so his eyebrows almost met with each other once again."So you fucking continue it despite knowing that he has that background? You are not really thinking carefully, Artemis.” His voice was calm but his face was saying otherwise. He looks like he won't be really happy with whatever lead I te
Artemis' POV"Mr. President is in his office?” I asked Junio who didn't seem to have any intention of talking to me but he looked at me for a while before he cleared his throat."Not yet. The employee can have breakfast first. Mr. President is guaranteed to be late because the first lady has finally got here." His voice was cold when he said that. My lips slowly parted when I realized what he said.Why did I forget that he has a fiancee? I want to wince at myself because of the stupid thoughts I've been thinking these past few days. I'm really embarrassed. And the thickness of Zelo's face to sleep in the bedroom with me when he has a fiancee? So what now? He really goes to me because his wife is not here yet? So that's why he also left the room last night. I thought
Artemis' POVI just look at them coldly when I'm already away. I wasn't feeling good but still acted completely not affected by what Zelo did. Why should I be affected when he was not the reason why I came here, right?Zelo and I met each other's eyes, he was also cold but he thought I was going to lose there. As if! My face remained the same.I saw his angel smiling widely at him. They started to be intimate. Instead of making me move, I wish he would have just let me out of his office. It seems that they are not satisfied with whatever they did last night. They started talking as if they were in their own world. His fiancee's smile is constant as he smiles back at her and when he looks at me it seems like I sin against him because the smile always disappears from his lips.
Artemis' POVMr. Cloud really went with me in the garden. I refused and politely declined but because he said that he wanted fresh air while asking questions, I didn't do anything but let him. I really need to call my daughter Athena. I'm sure it'll make my daughter sulky if I miss calling her today.I just sighed so Mr. Cloud looked at me."You look like you are forced to have lunch with me," he said with a laugh. It won't take long to eat, so maybe it's not too bad. Athena will be done with her lunch with that too."So, is it good that you got in? Zelo's usually doesn't take female bodyguards," he said looking at me before taking a bite of his steak. I just sliced mine too before shrugging my shoulders."Well, I'm not surprised anymore. I was Zelo's classmate in law school back then. I often saw your photo in his wallet and I think I already saw you. You were already familiar to me during the interview and onl
Artemis' POV"Where the fuck are you going now, Artemis?" he said angrily when I stood up. He grabbed my wrist. I looked at that while my forehead was deeply wrinkled now."Oh, away from someone annoying like you, I don't have time to think about your pleasing attitude," I said sarcastically. I removed his hand from me. Even though his hand was bigger and could easily cover my wrist, it was easy for me to remove it. If he is strong, so am I.I'm just left straight away. I just went to the playground here at the Palais because that's the place that I can call Athena. See? The Palais is so big that it can be a barangay. Well, there are actually a lot of people who live here.I called Athena after I sat down."Why did you call so late, Mama?" she complained immediately when she answered from the other line. It seems that she has been waiting with his Uncle Ares' cell phone for a while now. I bit my lip hard.
