Chapter 104 - Friendly Interrogation Pt.2

"What?" She held a confused look in her eyes. The ambush was nothing to be surprised about, all three of them grew up around high stake missions. Being attacked by 50 or 100 men didn't faze her entirely as much as it did when they were younger. There were faint scars all across her body as proof of those times. She tried her best to cover them up using old herbs and natural medicine but there were some that are too deep to fade. 

Ming Ming rolled her eyes as she took in her friend's confused expression. It was obvious that she herself didn't find these type of activities to be out of ordinary. She could understand why, they grew up in a brutal environment but sometimes her ability to adjust scared her. Things were so different when they were young and innocent. She could still remember the first time Ying Yue's eyes went dull, it was the scariest moment for her. To protect them Ying Yue had taken a glass shard in her child sized hands and fought off a goon who tried to take them. Ying Yue was never the same after that, it was as if she had switched into a full protector role. There was nothing she could do to help then but swore that she would protect her too. It was why she threw herself into technology, she used to sneak into classes and libraries to steal books and teach herself to read. Playing with the scraps in the trash she tried to make and understand the devices. When they were a bit older things changed however...'no don't think about it. It's done.' Whatever happened in the past made them how they were today and it was exciting to see Ying Yue show different emotions. It was the first time she saw her really blush and be attracted to a man. She wasn't surprised to know that the man was equally if not more obssessed with her best friend. 'She's gorgeous of course.'  Though it was slightly concerning that the man she had chosen was so high-profile. When they came to this city they had to keep a low profile but hanging around a CEO defeated that purpose. When she mentioned deleting CCTVs she had done in her research on this mystery man but wasn't able to get too much information out. At least there was no rumors of him with many women and he had an unapproachable vibe which was better. An overly friendly man was detestable. 

"....okay moving past that what else happened? Is he suspiscious of your background?? You know we have to lay low." 

"Don't worry he hasn't asked me anything really and he couldn't find anything on me if he tried. He doesn't know my name after all just some aliases though he just usually calls me by a nickname." 

"Nickname?"

"Yeah he has this weird thing where he likes to call himself a wolf and I'm somehow of the feline species. A kitten in specific, I tried to get him to change it but seems like he won't. Pineapple head looking man." 

"Kitten?? You let him call you kitten??" Ming Ming looked to Neo for confirmation as if to say 'tell me I heard that wrong.' Neo just gave a perplexed expression back as a response. 

"Moving on.....we fought them off and it was just a business enemy. I had my mask on for everytine we were out so no worries of having my face or body on camera. He kissed me after the fight, not sure what his switch was because he always just randomly does it. But we went to the groccery store and he made me dinner. A donkatsu!! It was good I'll give him that, didn't expect such a rich man to know how to cook well since they probably have a chef. After that we watched a movie - a horror movie, did some things....then when he was leaving it was raining so I let him stay over. Now don't look at me like that I knowww I knowww but he cooked me food what can I say!! Don't bite the hand that feeds you right?" 

"You do realize you're just convincing yourself at this point???? Keep going, I'll need a detailed breakdown in person." 

"To give a quick breakdown, stayed over but slept on the floor. Made me breakfast then left, I wasn't going to see him again so soon but he dropped something in my apartment. Went to his company to give it back, dealt with some stupid secretaries, met his best friend who's impressive in his own right but also can be an idiot. Then went to dinner, waitress had a camera on her caught her then caught the bimbo behind it all. Guess what? It was the same blonde woman who tried to pay me from the lunch thing. I slapped her a couple more times then brought some yummy crabs on his bill. Very anticlimatic I'm home now and you called. That's it, nothing exciting but can't say I didn't tell you anything." 

"I will literally slap the shit out of you, this is so much information. You better tell us in real time so we can be prepared for anything." 

"Yeah yeah I will, I just got a little delayed this time...." 

"When are we meeting him then? You met his best friend only right we verify him too." 

"Meeting him? Absolutely not. He would know too much then, even if we have something going on the mission takes precedence. All those years of hard work can't be ruined now. Its only been a week let's see how it goes. I have a bad feeling that things might get more messy with him in the future." 

"As long as he knows you have people to support you. I can destroy him if need be." Neo's soft voice spoke up again to add his warning. He didn't ask one question but made sure to add his two-cents backing up her decision. In other words, 'do what you want but I'll mess him up if he tries you.' 

"So now you've told us everything I have one more question...is he a good kisser?" Ming Ming had a smirk on her face as she spoke. 

"...goodnight," and with that she ended the video call. Getting up from her spot she locked everything up before getting back into bed. It took only a couple of minutes before sleep took her over - this time with no interruptions.
