The Gun In My Hand's

Chaptre 09. So I Let My Walls Come Down

Parker's Palace, Waltham Forest (Greater London), UK – 06.05 am.

I woke up to the knock of the door from outside the room. Ah, very disturbing. I still want to enjoy this soft bed. I covered my ears with a pillow. This is the third time this morning the waiter knocked on the door.

I heard my bedroom door open. A servant foolishly asked, "Miss, are you awake?"

I can't take it anymore. Irritated, I got up and threw a pillow at the waiter.

Strick!!!

1000 Points on target, hahahaha.

"Suckers! Stop playing, Elisa. You're not a kid anymore—"

"Aaaaaaah, put me down!"

"You think the world will continue to be kind to little mice like you. You made the waiters have to wait a long time behind that fucking door. You should make the most of your time and not laze—"

"Will I ask Zach, just wait aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

This happened to Elizabeth Armstrong. I really wasn't dreaming. Leon bravely carried my body on his shoulders towards the bathroom witnessed by many servants. Yeah, he's so mad at the throw of a pillow right in his face.

He took me inside the glass room and threw me a shower. He was crazy and had no compassion. He did not bother to regulate the temperature of the water, so my body spontaneously felt a cold water circle that seemed to torture my body.

Leon held my arm against the glass wall and continued to water my head. I painstakingly held on to the arm of his shirt which was also wet.

I grabbed the shower and said, "Leon ... Leon, please ... stop!!! Aaaaaah, I will ... shower .. alone!!!"

After completing my application, Leon turned off the shower. He took off my arm and came out of the glass room, "Me and Zach are waiting for you for breakfast. In 15 minutes you're done."

He left me still stunned. I supported my body by leaning it against the glass wall. I cleaned the surface of my face from the water dripping from my head. My body was shaking from the cold water. Ah, annoying.

...***...

15 minutes later ...

Still with a small grunt I went down the stairs to the dining room. Leon's hand on my arm is still missing. Why is he so rude?

Upon entering the dining room, I saw Leon chatting with Zach. I heard them talking about something I didn't understand. However, when I had sat down they stopped the conversation.

"Why have you been so long?" I rolled my eyeballs hearing Zach's question.

"You can open your breakfast without waiting for me, Zach." Zach looked lazy in response to my words and breakfast began.

I looked cynically at Leon over there who seemed undisturbed by my arrival. He chews food. His attitude this morning is very irritating.

I finally started eating too. But suddenly Zach pulled my hand, "Why is your hand bruised?"

"Awww, release! It still hurts. Just ask that guy?" I just turned my gaze toward Leon so Zach could understand.

"Leon?" Leon was still chewing his food without looking at Zach. He was like challenging me.

"I just took her to the bathroom with a little coercion. I'm anti with a slacker around me."

"My laziness doesn't bother you, Leon."

"You make the servants work hard with your laziness."

"It's none of your business—"

"Is it finished?" Our dispute was stalled with Zach's question. He couldn't seem to enjoy his breakfast in peace.

"You can continue each other's problems besides this table. And you're Elisha, you know you still owe me an explanation and I'm lazy to talk about it now. Then be nice a little bit before I get you back home."

Sucks. Why is it my fault?

We continued to eat breakfast in silence. The first Zach to finish his meal immediately bailed to work. I also have to work in my office today. After Zach's departure, I ignored Leon and immediately got ready to go to my room to change clothes.

Just now I wanted to pick a suitable blazer, suddenly the door of the room was knocked. I still ignored the beat until I heard a voice, "Elisa, can I come in?"

Leon's? What's he here for?

I went to the door and opened it, and Leon's face was on. "What are you here for?"

He unhappily went inside and sat on the bed. Why are there such creatures on earth? I went back to picking the blazer and ignoring it.

"Elisa, come here."

I ignored Leon and continued my chosen activities. I brought some blazers and put them on the bed. Not to forget I also picked some shoes to match my appearance. Indeed, whatever was in this room did not disappoint, Zach was so skilled at filling out the special items in this room for me.

"Elisa, sit down for a minute."

"Don't bother me, Leon. Come out if you have nothing to say." I chose one high heels black shoe that I think fits and wears it.

"Elisa, I'm sitting down." Suddenly Leon's voice sounded cold and I was forced to focus on his will. I sat in my bed next to him.

He pulled my hand. A little pain due to bruising that is still felt. Leon took something out of his pants pocket. Cream bruises? He put the cream on my arm. I'm kind of stunned by what Leon is doing. The cream he applied felt cold on my arm.

"Leon, you don't have to."

"Don't move." I still noticed he was polishing the cream. Is this one of the services provided by a bodyguard to his clients?

"Did you do something like this to every woman?" What silly question have I asked you?

"I don't have a woman."

''You kidding me? Ah yes, wrong question. Do you treat every woman you've ever slept with like this?"

"No, Elisa."

"You don't have to hide it. Where there's a man like you who doesn't have a lover. But it could be, a handsome man like you can certainly change women as he pleases. From now on stop like that, you know making money is very hard and you spend it for someone who doesn't matter—

Ah, how old are you now? Surely it's not young, you should also remember that. Free as handsome as anything, if it is old it will be very difficult to lure a woman. What's more with your job like this, you'll also find it hard to find a woman who's really—"

My rant stopped instantly as Leon suddenly pulled my nape and brought his face closer to mine. Real close. Even I could feel the roar of our breath hitting each other's faces.

"Be quiet. I ... never .. do this .. to .. anyone .... for the rest of my life ... You know, because of my job, I'm not interested in having a woman." Either happiness from where to feel so relieved to hear Leon's words were cut into pieces.

"But it seems that now I'm attracted to a beautiful woman. She's so beautiful that I feel like I want to fuck her every time I look at her." Instantly my heart was slightly pinched hearing Leon's next statement. It feels like ...

Disappointment.

I kept myself away from Leon. I don't want my upset face to be seen by him.

"Are all men's brains filled with such things?! Don't you think all women want you." My frustration increased by one stage. Hold Elisha. Unknowingly my voice raised.

"You disgusting man! You deserve your bitches, I hope you won't find any woman in the world who loves you with—"

...

Fuck ...

Fuck ...

Fuck ...

That was the first word that came to my mind. Leon is the most fucking man I've ever found in my life. I'll remember that.

My initial anger would have been muffled in Leon's kiss. She easily pulled back my nape and landed her lips on mine. What am I supposed to do?

I can't close my eyes. It's so fast and felt. It didn't last long. Leon slowly distanced his face and that was when I saw the green bead so close. He looked at me like there was nothing more interesting than me.

The bead was so dim. So alluring. So misleading. So ... mendamba.

I don't know what to react to. I just fell silent in confusion. I didn't even move from my position when Leon returned slowly eliminating our distance.

No words were spoken as he stared longer into my eyes. I couldn't move a bit, as if I was as captivated as Leon. My heart doesn't stop beating so hard.

The desire to receive whatever Leon would give at this moment was so great. That desire keeps wringing in my head makes me unable to think clearly.

"Russia ... Can I?"

The whisper of Leon in front of my face tickled my desires. I could answer nothing but stare intensely into his eyes. And the next second, I was already swept away in Leon's intoxicating kiss. I've never felt this way before. That feeling developed into an unstoppable fog of passion.

I subconsciously returned Leon's kiss. It was still clear I felt Leon's hand pressing down on my nape to deepen the kiss. And the grip of my hand grew stronger on his shirt as I let Leon enjoy whatever he wanted to explore in my mouth.

Shit! I gasped in the kiss when Leon's hand accidentally went into my blouse. I faintly heard Leon's growling in this kiss along with his hand touching whatever he wanted to touch behind my blouse. He's a greedy man.

After a long time, Leon finally let go of this kiss. We raced the air around quickly. We still look at each other. The fog of passion is still there. We are still waiting for each other until ...

"Is it still a long time?"

My eyes widened when I heard a familiar voice. Zach, my God! I dare not look behind my back. I am so ashamed of what I did. What will Zach say later? Ahhhhhh.

While Leon in front of me did not look panicked at all. He simply turned his gaze to the origin of the voice earlier with a gaze that he was extremely dislikeful of. He turned his eyes back to me, which I did not understand. He slowly stroked my cheeks and lips again before leaving me in an awkward state with Zach in this room.

I bow my head. After the door closed, that's when my life ended with Zach. Time seemed to be running very slowly as Zach slowly walked and sat on the sofa not far in front of me.

"Thus ... Elizabeth Armstrong, I need you to explain what I saw?"

My panic wasn't covered when I saw Zach. I quickly took a spot on Zach's side and clasped his hand.

"Zach, how long have you seen him? I'll make sure what you see doesn't match what you think. I ... I ... don't know what I'm doing." Cold sweat appeared on every surface of my body. I put my hand in Zach's hand.

Slowly Zach lifted my chin so that our faces were aligned. He looked into my eyes. I felt myself teary-eyed until Zach asked again, "Elisa ... Don't say ... Is this your first kiss?" The question is much more sinful to me when the answer is yes.

But I really can't answer anything. To lie I don't want to. Zach suddenly rubbed my hair with his other hand and a charming smile.

"You've forgotten Bradley."

I'm stunned. Yeah, I've never even been in every breath I've had this morning thinking about it. I don't know from when I .. have forgotten it.

"You're an adult, Elisha. I'm grateful you've forgotten it. But please just this time, that guy not Leon. I can't say Leon's a bad guy, but mindless action will make you even more sick. I'm just—"

"Yeah, that's impossible, Zach. I just got carried away. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."

I said it very seriously. I don't want to, really don't want to start anything dangerous with Leon. I know Leon is a bastard and I'm sure I'm not his first woman. Put it in your mind, Elisha.

Zach kissed my head before he walked out of my room. He went to my room earlier to give me the company file he had just received when he exited the mension gate. I calmed myself down again before leaving the door. This is gonna make me back awkward with Leon.

A few minutes later ...

On the Road to Armstrong Company, City of London, UK – 07.10 am.

I close my seat to the car door. Although sitting in the back passenger seat, but I felt clearly Leon staring at me from the reflection of the glass on it. I ignored him by staring out of the car.

We haven't started any conversation since. To be exact, I don't know what to do with Leon.

It didn't feel like the journey that was supposed to be so long to get to London, it was fast because of the time I spent thinking about what had happened this morning.

Upon entering the building, Leon was still following me from behind. At least, this is my first time to my office with only one bodyguard. Many employees greeted and saluted me.

I entered my office on the top floor of this building and asked Leon to wait in the waiting room right next to my office which was only blocked by the invisibility glass. My request was the first thing I said after all this awkwardness had surrounded us for so long.

I walked into my office and started working, especially reading the documents Zach gave me this morning. Several division heads and my secretaries came in to ask for my signature and approval. No problem as long as I leave this company.

What astonished me this time was that the waiting room was quite crowded. What are the employees doing on this usually very quiet floor. Many women were smiling and whispering.

Where's Leon?

From my glass-walled room, I could clearly see what was out there. I got up from my seat and went to the glass wall. Ah base, is she showing off charm or what?

I saw Leon on the balcony outside the waiting room smoking while smiling at his phone. She thought she was a model, why did she make those flirtatious women come to this floor? Very disturbing my work.

With an annoyed face I came out of the room and came to the employees who were giggling. "What are you guys doing here? Is there anything important that brings you to this floor?" They suddenly stood up from his seat and lowered their heads.

"I hope you guys make good use of your time other than just gossiping because it's working hours. I pay you to work not for giggling, unless you're tired of this company. There will be so many people out there who want your current position."

They look scared. After apologizing to me, they immediately walked out of this floor. I'm just a little uncomfortable, the living room that is usually used for my business colleagues waiting is instead used to gossip. Sucks.

I entered my room again with an upset mind. I squinted my head and stared out at the glass wall. Leon is still in his place. He returned to his new cigarette. I went back to the glass wall to take a closer look.

I'm holding my hand. But my panic suddenly returned when Leon suddenly seemed to be staring right at my current position. Is this glass translucent in his view? He just stared and kept staring at me while sipping his cigarette.

Not likely.
