Shall Under Your Charm

Chapter 33

Gripping Farah's arm, Dennis pulled Farah away from Gio. "Are you crazy to throw yourself at two men in a feud?!" Dennis said with a brush.

Farah brushed Dennis' hand off his arm while looking at the man's sharp eyes. "But Gio has nothing wrong! Why was he treated like that?! And who said you could touch me?"

Dennis had already lost his temper with Farah, but despite that, Dennis's mouth revealed a smile. Farah looked very panicked watching the fight. "Listen to me, dear Miss Farah. None of us wanted to see you get hurt, but if you tried to persuade Gio to help you escape, he would end up like a screen hanging from a stake. He'll be finished off until he's left unresponsive. Hanged. Do you understand?".

"Of course!" said Farah. "The next time I'm going to jump into the sea and swim to land, you can hold my words, and I won't trouble Gio by asking where the right direction is."

"Geez!" cetus Will's. "You may not recognize her, Dennis, but do you think this girl is trying to insinuate us?"

"With you assholes fighting in Ryan's room, aren't you afraid that guy's here?" gio said while tidying up his shirt. "You can grab me again whenever you want. This girl has a special way of throwing her body at me and I'm getting used to it."

Will pushes Gio's chest. "That's what you want, isn't it? You're enjoying. I've seen calves that have more brains than you! Try to think again, if you think they won't hang you just because they like you. This isn't an orphanage, Gio. This is the Mafia headquarters. Mafia. Em-ef-Ah, forget!." Turning to Farah, Will said softly, "While for you, Farah......"

Suddenly, "Someone is coming! They're gonna find us fighting here and asking what's the reason." Excited Dennis who had seen the situation in the corridor.

Moving quickly, Gio corrected the position of the chair and sat on it, and Will rushed over to sit beside Gio. Farah found herself sitting in a window-side chair by Dennis with one hand, while the other pulled up a wooden chair.

"Now, listen to me" Will said in a tense whisper. "This time, we will keep your secret, but never again encourage Gio to act recklessly again, or I'll go to Ryan and tell him that you're planning an escape by using one of the men. You're gonna spend your days in this base locked up so tight you can't even move your eyelashes."

Will was trying to scare her. Turning to Farah, Will saw that the threat was too effective. Farah tried to look strong, but her lips trembled and paled. Was it the threat to Farah or against Gio that made Farah that way? When viewed from Farah's reaction, he should have said it more subtly, and now there was no time to correct his mistake. Later, he will look for Farah and explain more patiently and gently why he thinks Farah took a very foolish action if she tried to escape from the Dark Devil headquarters. Or, were worried eyes and pale lips already there before he and Dennis entered this room? Gio might have said something to Farah.

Trying to soften his reprimands, Will smiled at Farah, but his gentle expression was too opposite to his rant earlier. Farah gave Will a sharp retract, then looked at the floor, as Ryan pushed the door and walked into the room.

At the table, Gio and Dennis are trying to compose the lego very carefully. The gaze they gave Ryan looked innocent, and Gio showed a slightly too excessive attitude so no wonder Ryan immediately approached him and smiled at the torn clothes of Gio due to the pull of Will earlier.

"A little bit" replied Will. "Me and Gio had a little fight over the lego game. Not a big deal. You yourself have played lego with me; you know how I behave if I'm dizzy putting together very small parts. But you see we've made up now hehehee. We're composing a lego pa-pa...." Will looked confused at the lego form that was being arranged by Gio and Dennis.

"Titanic Ship" Gio said.

"I'm sorry, Ryan" Dennis said, "We're trying to get Farah to play lego to fill her time".

Dennis thought he saw the tip of Ryan's lips twinkle a slight smile even though the arrogant brown-haired man's eyes didn't show it. Will, like the others at Dark Devil headquarters, can be easily intimidated by Ryan, but he has already promised Farah he won't uncover the girl's secrets, so he tries to convince Ryan more. "You want to try that too?".

"No, thank you" Ryan said. "Too many people are involved just to compose a lego"

"Will, Kevin needs you in the dining room. I'm gonna go by boat tonight and find out if I can get any interesting information. And.... You all leave my room right now". Said Ryan.

Quickly, Gio, Will and Dennis quickly walked out of Ryan's room at a quick pace. Farah froze in silence while shouting inwardly at the three men who came out earlier to invite herself as well. When Ryan closed the door and went to stand in front of him. "Are you going to tell me what's going on?" ryan asked Farah. "The four of you won't slam the furniture for no good reason."

So Ryan heard the sound of a chair falling, Farah thought. "People do not have privacy at this headquarters" Farah grumbled in a soft tone. "I don't know why anyone would want to live here."

"Look at me!" firmly Ryan.

It's best to convince Ryan, if he can do it, that nothing bad happened. Farah raised her chin, allowing herself to make eye contact with Ryan. If Ryan's tone of voice sounded demanding, the man's eyes were very soft. Today, there was a friendly impression of Ryan, which Farah had seen before, when they first met that night at the club. However, all of that was cut off quickly by his rejection last night, but no matter how attractive Ryan was, and no matter how good the character of the man, Ryan, the spy aka American intelligence, would never be his.
