Chapter 194: You Are Safe
Keira resumed her daily routines as soon as Zach left...
She smiled as she recalled how many times he told her he loved her last night, accompanied with his gentle kisses and warm hugs. She felt giddy all over as Zach’s deep voice and affectionate words kept replaying in her head. All those sweet nothings that he whispered in her ear had tempted her to just chain and lock him up to keep him beside her, and not to let him leave at all...
"Geez... I miss him already," she mumbled helplessly as she patted her cheeks trying to recollect herself so she could focus on her work, editing the data that she had gathered for the evening news.
She saw Thea stealing glances at her and so she smiled at her. She was amused to see Thea’s cheeks reddened. Keira was not used to seeing Thea act bashful and meek like that, so she went to sit beside her and said playfully while giving Thea her signature wink, "Stop being all shy to me! You’re giving me goosebumps."
Keira heard Thea sigh when she spoke, "Why are you so nice to me? You can hate me and get back at me for all the stuff that I made you do. You know, when I was bullying you... I’ll understand..."
"Hmm, I’m not forcing myself to be nice to you... Like I said, it’s just not my personality to hold a grudge. I don’t have any interest in getting even with you, Thea. As long as you do me no harm, then we are good. By the way, you can give me all the information you have... and I will relay it to Zach. I know a lot about their operation..." said Keira as she rested a cheek on her palm, after checking that no one was near them to hear their conversation.
It was true, she knew it all... Every update... All from her husband, John, and her father.
"We can discuss it here at work, so it wouldn’t look suspicious. It would seem like we’re just talking about work related matters ..." said Keira and Thea nodded in agreement.
"Thank you again for helping me..." murmured Thea timidly. Keira blew air on her forehead and answered firmly, "If you’re thankful, then stop acting like that. You look like a spineless worm. Chin up! Everyone deserves a second chance, so take it without hesitation and make the most of it."
"Besides, you can thank me once this is all done... But for now let’s work together, so you can be free and so I can spend more time with my husband after that toxic mission... A win-win situation," said Keira cheerfully as she gave Thea another wink when she whispered her last sentence.
"What mission?"
