The Gun In My Hand's

Chapters 29. Who Are You?

Armstrong Company, City of London, UK – 11.10 am.

After a long conversation with Kyle, I decided to be more patient in my relationship with Leon. We have just gotten to know each other and there is no reason to demand it too far, what else is this relationship still a corn. Not only Leon, it turns out Kyle also branded me too childish.

"Alright, I think I should go. You took a lot of my time, Princess. And I hope you can replace it with some amazing cooperation going forward with me."

"Currently, how busy I am to have to replace for your babble." I said it with a shitty feeling towards Kyle.

"Of course I'm busy. And because of my busy life, I think you'll get some good news in the next few months." I frowned, what did Kyle mean? What－

"Have you found him? You meet her? That woman－" Unknowingly I was so enthusiastic about Kyle's life.

"Well, it'll be our secret. Don't tell anyone including your annoying boyfriend. And of course, don't even open this up to my mom and dad."

"That's right! I'm not a complainant like－"

Ccq ...

My speech was interrupted when the meeting room door was opened and of course the one who dared to open it before getting my permission was Leon. And what he said after that left me dumbfounded.

"Are you guys done with that shit in here?"

"See, Elise. I'm guessing right that he's so annoying."

I pinched my forehead looking at Leon's overly exaggerated demeanor, fortunately this was just Kyle. It would be inconceivable if he did that when I actually met with my business colleagues.

"Leon, we're having a discussion and you're saying we're just doing bullshit. Oh God, can't you just wait?"

"What kind of discussion? You guys are just raving about the ridiculous and it pisses me off."

I think he said it unconsciously. And I heard a tinge of jealousy in his words.

"Really, what in other words did you admit to eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Hearing what Kyle said, I immediately glared at Leon. He immediately snorted and left just like that. Kyle who saw Leon's reaction immediately laughed out loud as it passed leaving me. Even when he left my room, he was still laughing.

I forgot my confusion towards Kyle and turned to Leon. I approached Leon who was grumbling on the sofa of my room, without him noticing, I was standing in front of him. With my hands ready I began to interrupt his grunt, "So Mr Who Knows Everything, did you eavesdrop on our conversation in there?"

He again snorted and refused to look me in the eye. I chose to sit next to him so he couldn't dodge.

"It was only a few minutes ago that you said I was childish, and what is this? You become what you said to me."

"Would I always have to be patient if you met a guy you used to love?"

I unconsciously rolled my eyeballs when I heard what Leon said. Just wanted to explain further, suddenly Leon's phone rang. He immediately took it to see who it was. Before raising the call, he glanced at me and hinted at me to be quiet.

I tried not to hear what he was talking about, but of course I couldn't just cover my ears.

'Say!'

Yeah, just like the first time I called him.

'Yes, he's in my penthouse, what's up?'

'I'm on a job. Just tell me I'm not coming, maybe Luxy and Edward will be home in a few days. They're not here long.'

Suddenly Leon's face stiffened and immediately turned to look at me. I only showed a wondering face with his reaction.

'I don't guarantee I'll take him with me. But I'll go home with Luxy, just tell him never to send a useless man to shoot his own son!'

Leon immediately closed his call. Her face was flushed and I knew she was emotional, more than I ever thought. In order to melt the atmosphere, I decided to wipe his arm and he made that his concern now. When I looked into my eyes, the emotion on his face disappeared.

"You okay?"

His gaze softened and he quickly kissed my lips before saying, "I'm fine, Princess."

I know he's reluctant to make me ask more questions and I don't want to bring him up either.

"So... Is our Princess starving for nearly two hours of bullshit meetings?"

I also looked at him with a smile. Yes, we forgot what happened before. I'm just giggling.

"Okay, I think I'm a little hungry, but I don't want to get out of here, I really need to get my work done to get home early. Can you get someone to order us some food?"

Leon rubbed my hair and said, "Of course you can, what do you want for your lunch?"

At first I was very happy that he wanted to spoil me, but the more he came here he was looking for an opportunity. He even kissed my face. And because I was honestly hungry, I distanced myself from him.

"Whatever that .. and Leon, I'm really hungry."

"Don't you see I'm starving too?"

His eyes were implying different things to what he was saying and of course I knew. But all he did was try to grab me and kiss my face, I who was just trying to keep him away from my face immediately stopped because I heard the sound of the rumbling of my own stomach. Leon immediately laughed out loud. It makes my face red.

"See, I didn't lie when I said I was starving."

He who was holding his stomach was holding back a laugh instead mocked me.

"Haha... All right, you'll get your food soon, Princess."

I who was still embarrassed immediately went to my desk and pretended to focus on a computer screen that in fact I was just trying to drown my face there in shame. It was not long before I did because a while later our food came along with my secretary in carrying some documents that I had to read.

My lunch at the office for the first time was so different. There was Leon accompanying me and his laughter filled my room for being too excited to mock me. It would be so happy if I had done this a long time ago.

After finishing lunch together, Leon decided to let me work. He waited for me in the waiting room, which I could still see from inside.

He occasionally talked to Dereck and the bodyguards that were there. But more activities he did with the cell phone in his hand. It seemed like he had other affairs with someone, very visible from the look on his face that continued to wrinkle every time he saw what was on his cellphone.

...***...

**Fo***ur* hours leter ...

I walked out the door of my room and was greeted by a yawned Dereck, a sign he was so sleepy. The first thing I asked was, "Where's Leon?"

Dereck lazily replied, "He's meeting someone, he didn't tell you because he doesn't want to disturb your focus."

I just nodded my head, a sign not to bother about it. I went to the elevator to go home. Two bodyguards and Dereck followed me.

While in the elevator, my hand couldn't help but pick up the phone and write a message for Leon.

'I'm going home without you, are we meeting tonight?'

I saw the message for a long time, but there was no reply from Leon. Until the elevator stopped on the ground floor, even when the car had stopped in front of me, Leon still had not retaliated.

On the way home, I glanced at Dereck who was still sleepy on the front passenger bench. I finally asked, "Did Leon say something before he left?"

Hearing what I asked, Dereck glanced through the upper rearview mirror and replied, "No, are you so worried?"

"Hmm. He didn't return my message."

Without asking further, I decided to just shut up and enjoy my return trip.

Even when the clock had shown the number 11 at night, my mind was still filled with Leon. I've sent some extra messages to Leon, just to ask him how he is. Unlike usual, this time my message has not been opened by him at all.

My sleepiness began to come when I just looked at the wallpaper of my mobile phone containing a photo of the two of us. But just closing my eyes, suddenly the window of my room was like being knocked. I woke up from my sleep and a feeling of goosebumps filled me.

I walked up to the window and peered behind the curtains to find out what was really bothering me. I was surprised to find someone on the balcony of my room.

Who'sis that? Isn't the guard down there tight? How did this guy get to my room?

To his surprise, my feet could not move at all. I can't even scream asking someone to do something. The dark atmosphere of the balcony made me unable to ascertain who the figure was.

Is that Leon?

Not likely.

Somehow my bedroom window was so easily opened by that guy. I who was still standing at the end of the curtain watched the figure sneak in. Even the sound of my bedroom window opening was not heard at all.

Even though my room was dark, but that guy knew I wasn't in bed and that made me fall out of my chair as he quickly turned his eyes towards me.

"Is that you?"

The voice of the man sounded foreign. I couldn't answer anything, cold sweat appeared on my face as the man asked again and walked up to me.

"Will you be Leon's girlfriend?"

He knows who he is? What does she want?

He squatted down in front of me and I could slightly see the side of his face that was exposed to the moonlight. I don't know who he is. And that question got out of my mouth like a tweet.

"Who are you?"

"Hey, why are you so scared? I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to see what kind of woman Leon wants."

He also said it like a tweet. I suddenly flinched as he pulled out something behind his back. I pushed my body back to the wall.

That's knives. Even though it's dark, I can still confirm that what he took out was a knife.

I who felt threatened, without a second thought immediately kicked this man in the chest. And tried to run, but what I found was caught. Unable to run and shout, I felt my mouth covered by it with a small cloth and the last sentence I heard from that person was, "Welcome to－"

－

Armstrong's Mension, Newcastle (Tyle and Wear), UK - 02.08 am.

My eyes flashed reflexively when I felt someone holding my hand. My consciousness emerged as the voice entered my ear.

"Elisa.. Relax it's me."

I opened my eyes a few times and regulated my unreasonable breathing. I stared at the dark figure in front of me.

"Leon.. is that you?"

The figure was really Leon, I knew it from the way he held me gently. I again felt something strange had haunted my sleep since a week ago.

"Are you having nightmares?"

I still catch my breath and haven't answered Leon's question. I didn't answer Leon's question and preferred to see the window of my room slightly open, the curtain moving indicating the wind coming in here.

"Are you coming in through the window?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. It's been a very late night and I think your family will be upset if I force my way in just to see you. I'm sorry for surprising you."

"What's wrong, I think I'm having nightmares again."

Yes, the figure in the dream continues to haunt my sleep until every time I wake up in the morning, I always feel excessive panic.

I was silent for a long time remembering the nightmare until I finally realized when Leon called my name back, "Elisa?"

I looked at Leon. He finally showed up again since a long time ago leaving me and only always returned my message late at night.

I clasped his hand that was rubbing my hair. With mixed feelings I said, "Where have you been, asshole?!"

I hit his chest that might not have any effect. He stopped my hand, and said, "Elisa, be quiet. Someone's gonna know I'm sneaking into your room."

Still not taking it with all this, I continued my punch, "Damn it, you're worrying me. How can you just send me one message a day?"

"Hey, at least I'm trying to get to you every day, Elisha."

I exhaled a rough breath before stopping beating him. At least what he said was true.

"Dereck said you came home because of some family business. Is there a problem?"

"Yes, that's how it is, but it's not a matter of meaning and it's been resolved. Well, do you miss me?"

I immediately lay down on my pillow a sign of relief hearing nothing happened to Leon. I'm still lazy to talk to Leon because he's still too annoying to me. She ended up lying down on my bed, too.

Leon rubbed my face that was still sweating from my nightmares. She said, "I'm sorry for coming and going."

"Hmm. at least you're still telling me and I know you're not sleeping with another woman out there."

I heard her snorting that sounded so annoying in my ears. I put my body aside so I could see his face. Our eyes met in the dimness of my room. I saw a bead that I knew the color. Leon remains his charming self.

"There's nothing else, Elisha and you know it. I miss you so much. " I smiled hearing what he said.

"Are you seducing me?"

He chuckled again, "Does that sound like that in your ears?"

"Not really, I don't know for sure."

He rubbed the side of my face gently. And at that very moment I felt him kissing my lips gently. I felt the warmth of Leon I missed. I welcomed her kiss with a flowery feeling. Shortly after, she ended the kiss. With

with a heavy breath he said, "Can you let me sleep with you tonight?"
