Chapter 123: Story of the cat and the mouse 4

"Doctor, I like your pen. It looks the same as the one I used to kill those fifty people. They didn't know I was in the room that night and came in. First, I spray opened the tank containing compressed hydrochloric spray into the air and when they were passed out I went behind them one by one, and...''

Mai lifted the pen and the doctor stood up and ran out at once screaming 'save me':. Mai looked at door and laughed and murmured ''he has such a weak heart, tsk''

The doctor ran to the hall sweating and panting as he screamed ''save me, save me. that girl is not a human being. She is a monster''.

The bodyguards immediately stood on guard and watched as Mai walked slowly out of the room swinging the pen with a weird smile. The doctor went behind the bodyguards shouting ''keep her away from me. She is dangerous, more dangerous than I thought''.

''Doctor, we didn't even finish our discussion. I didn't give you the answers to the questions you asked. How can you just leave like that? I'm sad''. Mai said in a slightly irritated tone as if displeased and stood in front the bodyguard that the doctor hid behind. He was the same guard who went to Mai's room. His name was Ali.

''Miss, what did you do to him?': Ali asked worriedly. The doctor seemed traumatised just now.

''Even Ali who has never scolded me is even doubting me. I'm so heartbroken''. Mai said shrugging her shoulder and shaking her head with a half smile.

''Tell, Mr. Marco that I will never come here again. What did he mean by asking me to come in? Does he want me to be killed by this monster? I am telling you, this girl is not a human being. You all better stay away from her. She is a serial killer, no, a maniac psychopath''. The doctor finished and Mai looked at him angrily.

''Doctor, you shouldn't do this to me. Saying all those things about me is defamation and I hold serious offense to that. I didn't even do anything to you. Did I?'' Mai asked him.

''Well, technically you didn't do anything to me''. The doctor said.

''Then you should apologise to me right now, doctor or you might not be able to leave here, really''. Mai said and looked at the doctor daringly. The bodyguards all kept quiet and watched. They were equally afraid of her especially when she was pissed like right then.

''I apologise. I'm sorry''. The doctor said and bowed.

''That's more like it''. Mai walked closer to him and pushed Ali slightly away. She put the pen inside the doctor's coat and straightened it for him adding ''to answer your questions earlier. I am not feeling well because I don't get enough to eat and I don't get enough sleep, so I am like a mad dog right now because I am hungry'' Mai patted his shoulders and turned to go stepping on the shackles and Ali caught her as she fell.

Ali helped her to sturdy straight and said ''Miss, what will you eat. Let me prepare it for you''.

''Oh, is our Ali looking out for me? I'm so touched. But, I don't want to get you into trouble. Let me find the food myself so that I can get scolded alone''. Mai said and walked towards the kitchen all the while humming a song. The doctor turned and left the house quietly and the bodyguards went back to their posts.

Mai opened the fridge and removed the big jug of milk and placed it on the table. She removed a saucepan and poured all the milk into it shocking the bodyguards. This little Miss really had guts. She keeps disregarding every word of the big boss. One of the bodyguards stepped to go and stop her and Ali stopped him.

The Miss only hummed when she was in a bad mood. It would be the bodyguard's own good not to provoke her.

"hu hu hu hu mm mm mm hu..."

The bodyguards watched as Mai she hummed while warming all the milk and poured it into jug and went to the dining table and started drinking it from the jug.

This was the scene that greeted Lorca and Josh Saint the moment they entered the house. Lorca screamed and rushed to the table to snatch the milk from Mai but she quickly poured everything into her mouth and some dripped on her dress soaking it.

Mai culled her tongue out and lick her lip smeared with milk and turned to look at her uncle and smiled saying ''oops, sorry uncle. You should have said earlier if you were interested in the milk. Look what you made me do?'' Mai said and pouted her lips in a mocking manner.

Lorca calmed himself down and Josh Saint walked to them. Josh Saint looked at Mai interestingly and Mai put the jug down and turned to Josh Saint not minding her image as she spoke ''who are you? Don't you know is rude to look at a lady like that?'' Mai said and got up to leave.

''Go and change into something else and come back. Mr. Saint here has a job for you''. Lorca told her.

''What do to? I am not interested'''. Mai said walking away.

''I think you will because your freedom depends on how well you are able to do this job, August Maijune. Didn't I promise to let you go when you get to 18 years? This is the deal that can guarantee your freedom''. Lorca said making Mai to stop in her tracks and turned.

Her abrupt turn was so swift yet magnificent paired with her nonchalant attitude gave off the vibes of an arrogant and smug person and this caught Josh Saint's attention. He sized Mai up and down and his eyes fell upon the shackles on both her hands and foot. Her hands and legs looked feeble and blued out because of the constant movement she made under the shackles.

Mai closed her eyes angrily and opened them sensually meeting Josh Saint's gaze saying ''are you done looking yet? Do you want me to turn around 360 for you to have a perfect view?'' Josh Saint who hadn't met her before and wasn't used to been treated that way was surprised and intrigued.

Lorca had told him a lot of things about her but he didn't know that she was more chic than he thought. A teenager who was held captive and made to work for her uncle, even though shackled she didn't seem like one to follow rules.

''Sit down, August Maijune and drop the attitude before I make you pay for wasting the milk just now''. Lorca said.

Mai walked to the couch and sat down elegantly. She wanted to cross her legs together but the shackles reminded her she couldn't and she got angry and glared at Lorca instead. While leaning her back on the couch she spoke ''Let's get our facts straight, uncle. I didn't waste the milk, I drank it. You are the one been greedy despite the fact that all you have is because of my genius brain''.

''I've heard a lot about you Miss Marco, I am Josh Saint''. Josh Saint said as he sat across Mai and stretched his hand towards her.

Mai looked at his outstretched hand displeased saying ''I am not Miss Marco. I am August Maijune Elizondo''.

''My mistake my lady''. Josh Saint said and Lorca sat next to him.

':Who do I have to kill?'' Mai asked looking at the two men in front of her.

''You are so straightforward, Miss''. Josh Saint said.

''This man, his name is Aaron Saint': Lorca removed a picture of Aaron Saint and gave to Mai and she looked at it.

''I will give you all you need to know about him. Everything has to be prepared and handled by you. I will give a few of my men to you in case of anything. I don't care how you do it, but no matter what you have to get rid of this man in three days' time before the shareholders meeting which falls on the fourth day''. Josh Saint said putting a big brown envelope on the table.

'' Whoa!!! He is very handsome. Who is he? Brother?'' Mai asked sarcastically.

':That is none of your business, August Maijune. Just remember this, if you mess up your parents' safety will not be guaranteed and the same goes for yourself". Lorca said threateningly.

''Are you threatening me, uncle? That is something I hate to hear. You better not use my parents against me that much. If anything happens to them, remember, you won't have anything against me and I will kill you''. Mai said meeting his gaze. Mai and Lorca locked eyes and looked at each other with neither backing down.

Josh Saint was totally taken aback. It looked like they were going to rip each other apart with their gazes.

Lorca sighed and looked away saying ''do whatever you want, my little niece. Remember, I am the one who thought you how to kill first''.

''But, still you have never killed 50 people in your entire lifetime while I did that in just less than an hour. Uncle, you shouldn't cross the line every time. Lately, you are making me very pissed off and is beginning to be a turn-off for me''.

Mai stood up and picked the envelope and picture and turned to leave before adding ''you better let aunt prepare a good meal for me. I need to be well nourished if I have to fight''.

Josh Saint looked at Mai as she walked away never taking his eyes off her. She was clearly arrogant but why did he find her so sexy just now? Her arrogance was so suave and elegant.

''Ali, you heard her, right? Let the kitchen prepare everything that psycho needs and deliver it to her room. Remove the shackles and apply medicine to her bruises''. Lorca said while removing his phone to make a call.
