Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife - Chapter 112

Slapping her face a couple of times she reminded herself to focus. Walking back into her room she switched into disposable gym wear while grabbing her hoodie and mask. She was thankful for living in a country where masks were regular additions to outfits when leaving the house. There was a societal culture that allowed for people to wear masks when they felt sick or were sick and had to go out. Even for non-medical reasons, women often wore masks when they felt their face was “unpresentable” or not “polite.” In other words, any time they did not wear makeup or felt that their faces were inferior the mask came on. So for someone like her who cared less about both reasons and solely wanted to remain inconspicuous, it was perfect. She knew from experience that wearing a mask in America and Europe provoked stares and was more harmful. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#.-1_51197969294219723″>#.-1_51197969294219723</a> for visiting.

Slipping her phone into the side of her tights and an extra blade into the other she was ready to leave. There was a slight pause in her steps as she felt her forgetting something but had no clue what that was. Engaging her security system she headed out and towards their base. It was early in the morning so she had to be more cautious with her movements, switching up her normal route she took a ‘confused’ path to the location. Her head was bent down with a hoodie pulled up, the sunlight partially burned her eyes but she had nothing to cover her eyes at the moment. The base was approximately thirty minutes away on a regular path, it would take her an hour to get there today including all of her diversions. Thankfully, half way through her journey she could still not feel anyone following her. Increasing her speed she tried to get there faster and before she knew it she was near by. Following the crooked streets her body automatically lead her to a broken home. Giving it a quick once over she checked to see if there had been any changes down to it. While it looked broken and abandoned it did have a couple of traps set up within to let them know if anyone had entered. This part of town was more barren but never without danger, if someone decided to inhabit it their plans would become complicated. Checking her surroundings once more she confirmed she was alone before walking to the corner of the house where a tree was perched.

Pulling on one of the leaves she triggered the security system and stood in place as she let it scan her eyes. Seeing that it recognized her, a small bark of the wood was pushed out slightly where she would need to scan her fingerprint next. Successfully getting past the first two steps she quickly completed the five movement sequence triggering the secret passageway to appear. Moving her hand away and stepping back, the ground next to the tree dropped down revealing the steps. Giving one last glance around her she began walking down the dimly lit steps. There was only a soft light to accompany her as the door closed behind her It was a long set of stairs and was 6ft deep before she made it to the steel door. Using her finger she again unlocked the security and entered into the main portion of the base. The familiar scent of the room calmed her as she looked at the open space. In front of her were some weapons and computers, the only thing missing from her view was her two friends.

‘Were they not here?’ She could not hear the sounds of anyone working on the computer nor the sounds of someone talking. A confused look entered her eyes as she ventured deeper into the room. The way the base was set up was that this area would be their main room of operations. having something further in would be dangerous when they had limited time. However, this did not mean the base was small. It was the same size as an underground bungalow with a couple of rooms, a state of the art training facility, a bathroom and of course, a kitchen. It was designed so that they could stay within the base for days but still be comfortable and protected. The place was extremely expensive to build but she was thankful that Ming Ming convinced her to make it so big. There was little worry that someone would look underground for her considering that it was unconventional and most people would think that if such a structure existed, it would be unstable. Which was true to an extent but with Neo designing everything the structure was completely secure, even if this place were to crumble there was an exit back into the abandoned house next to them.

Remaining silent, she debated on which room to check next and decided on the kitchen as her first stop. The small rumble of hunger in her belly was the driving point reminding her that she had not ate anything this morning. After scalding herself with hot water and checking Weibo for updates she completely forgot to eat. Pushing on one of the walls the revolving door moved in to show a small black kitchen and a dining table with three chairs surrounding it. To her surprise no one was there, ‘maybe they haven’t woke up yet, I’ll check on their rooms after.’ Entering in fully, she busied herself with removing ingredients from the fridge while simultaneously thinking of what to make with them. Since she had a long training ahead of her it was good to have something filling and with protein. Grabbing their sack of rice she took a couple of cups and placed it into the cooking bowl. After rinsing it a couple of times she put it back into the cooker and turned it on. While that was cooking, she took out some chicken and vegetables with the intention of making a quick spicy stir fry. She was cutting up the onions when she felt a presence creeping up behind her. Pretending not to notice she kept her motions stable and continued cutting. When she felt that they were close enough she quickly turned around and flipped the knife in her hand around with the sharp part facing outwards.

The person behind her quickly reacted evading the strike and moving back a couple of steps.

“MUST YOU BE SO VIOLENT?! YOU KNEW IT WAS ME!”

“Did I?” There was a held back smile on her face as she teased her further.

“…..I hate you so much.”
