chapter 141

Lucy collapsed on her knees as she shut the door behind her. Her rapid breaths and heartbeat slowly began to calm down.She touched her neck and felt the lingering presence of his lips and warmth."Ahhhhhh!!!"She covered her face and rolled on the floor, trying to process what just happened."Damn it! That was incredible! I almost succumbed to him. Good thing Lucy that you snapped out at the right time. You are just his employee right now. This is not the time to eat him!"She finally stopped rolling and peeked out through her fingers. "Boss is so sly. Who says that he doesn't understand feelings? He seduced me just fine!"As she grazed her fingers along her neck, she thought of something and quickly got up on her feet.She stood in front of the mirror and her mouth formed a wide O in shock. Faint kiss marks were beginning to take shape.Just as I thought!Lucy bit her lip and blushed furiously."Tomorrow I will have to hide my neck in college!"Lucy sighed in satisfaction. Their relationship was progressing smoothly even just as neighbors and as his employee."If this goes on, the day isn't far for me to confess my feelings hehe…"Lucy leaned on the wall and a soft smile tugged her lips as she thought of Eric. She decided to head to sleep but just as she was about to walk away, her sight fell on the letter that was drying from the juice stain."Oh yes! I completely forgot about this letter."Lucy picked the letter and found that it had dried up a little. "Phew. But is this really for me?"She was in a predicament for a long time."Alright! Let's just open it anyway. If I don't see my name, then I will put it back and apologize to the person it's meant for."She tore the seal and opened the letter. She coughed as she saw that the end of the letter was covered in an orange stain. "Damn...if this is letter is not mine, then I am in serious trouble. Ugh and its sticky too."She sighed and began reading.'To Lucy Hale…'"Wait there is my name! Thank God. It means that this is my letter," she rejoiced.Lucy continued reading.'I have no choice but to write you this letter with great urgency as the situation has turned grave. Circumstances don't allow me to meet you. But it's time you know about Luca Hale and the trouble she is in…'Lucy was stumped for a long time. She read her sister's name in a daze.Sis. This letter is about sis!Mark told her how there was no contact with Luca. But he had assured that it wasn't necessarily any serious issue. Now this anonymous person said that it could be.Her heart thudded in nervous trepidation. She trembled and somehow she didn't want to read it further. She was afraid. But she took a deep breath and steeled herself.'I apologize that I cannot reveal my name. But please know that I am working with Luca Hale in this mission. Luca Hale is in trouble. I haven't met her in weeks and I couldn't find any trace of hers even though we are undercover in the same house. That's why I need your help, Lucy.I cannot get out of here or investigate too much without risking leaking my identity. The security is too strict. I urge you to meet Mark and find out about her. If the Mafia King has caught her, then we cannot delay. Time is of essence. The Mafia King is a cautious and dangerous man. You should know what kind of a family you are dealing with.'She took a sharp breath.'I don't know why, but Luca Hale seemed to have a personal reason for investigating the Mafia King. That's why, you have to be more careful. That man doesn't just belong to the Underworld but he is hiding his identity as the CEO of E--"Lucy couldn't read anymore ahead because after that part, the juice stain blurred the rest of Linda's words.She widened her eyes."Damn the stain! Who is he? I didn't read his identity!"*****A/N - Lucy was so close to the truth. But will she stop here? Will she learn Eric's identity?
