Chapter 6

Cassandra Lancio

"What are you doing?" I looked at him disbelief when he put his arm around me

"We can't act suspicious, this is his office area" Marco said and I felt my face getting hotter and hotter. I hate this kind of skinship.

"Where are we staying?" I asked and at the same time his phone rang. He took it from his pocket and picked it up

"You got it? Only one? I don't care as long as we're close to them" He said and hung up

"You need to explain to me what are we going here?" I said as I pulled him to a small alley. He looked at me with a really unreadable expression. I crossed my arms in front of my chest and raised my eyebrows

"Patt's here and I bet he wants to offer a deal with Hikomoto himself about Western Company"

"What's the relation with us and my parents?" I asked and he suddenly sense something. He looked up and looked around. He grabbed my hand and pulled me with him. We walked into the big road and he called someone

"Have you processed it? We're going there" Marco said and he pulled me to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled out an umbrella from his bag. He opened it to cover us up

"It's not raining"

"But it's sunny and I bet a lot of Patt's men watching from the building"

"Patt knows?" I asked in horror

"No but this is an important offer for him and I bet a lot of people who hold that stock are aware of it so in case something happens.. he always guards up" Marco answered as he pulled me closer to him. I can smell his scent and it was so good

"Your blonde hair is really taking a lot of attention" He said as he turned to me. I pulled my hair into a bun and looked at him

"That's better"

"You're a fucking asshole" I rolled my eyes

"For you only" He said and he pulled me to the side entering a small hotel

"Here.. room 907" His man said as he gave Marco the hotel room card. Marco nodded and his man left. He pulled me into the lift and he pressed the 9 button

"Only one room?"

"If you mind, you can sleep outside"

"You're a no gentleman like everyone said" I hissed as I crossed my arms in front of my chest

"I'm no gentleman to someone who almost kill one of my family"

"Which side?"

"My grandpa's sister's son" He said in a cold tone and the lift door opened. We walked out and looked for the 907 room. He put the card on the scanner and we got inside.

I was more than speechless to see the room. It's a small room with a king size bed and the bathroom was made of glass making it visible if one of us taking a shower

"I'm finding another hotel to stay," I said and Marco walked to the window. He's checking on something before closing the curtain.

He walked to me and stood in front of me. He started to unbutton his shirt

"What are you doing?" I closed my eyes

"We need to change our clothes cause we're going out"

"I don't have my luggage with me!" I said and suddenly I felt Marco's arms wrapped my waist. I opened my eyes and I was greeted with the shirtless Marco.

"What are you doing?"

"You need to cooperate with me Cassie"

"Cassandra for you.. We're not in a friendship term to call me Cassie" I said in a really firm tone looking at him straight to his brown eyes. My eyes suddenly landed on the bullet wound that I gave.

I touched it unconsciously and he flinched. He let me go and walked to the cupboard. He opened it and took out new clothes.

"Wear this" He threw a dress to my face and I looked at it disbelief

"Are you kidding me?"

"What?" He asked as he put on his black shirt on

"It's cold outside and you're making me wear this sexy dress?"

"Just cooperate"

"I might get sick," I said and he shrugged. I sighed and opened my jacket first.

"Can you close your eyes?"

"I bet you often open your clothes in front of Patt, why the sudden uncomfortableness?" He hissed in a cold tone and I hate him for acting like this. I'm not a virgin but being a slut for Patt isn't my thing?

Patt hates blondes and he never uses me since I'm his soldier to begin with.

"And you have seen a lot of naked girls? So that's why you're comfortable?" I asked as I unbuttoned my shirt back facing him

"Quite a lot" Manwhore

"Quick.. we don't have time!" He hissed as he walked to the window again. I opened my shirt and dropped it on the floor. I unzipped my jeans and left only in my underwear. I took out my bra's strap since the dress is strapless.

"Checking me out?" I asked Marco because I knew he has his eyes on my body

"Flat" He commented and walked out from the room. I shook my head in disbelief and quickly changed into the soft pink dress. I looked at myself in the mirror and walked out the door. I took off my hairband and put my hair into a ponytail now. I ran towards Marco who's waiting in front of the lift.

I slipped my arm to his and smirked as he turned to me.

"So what now?"

"Blend in"

"Where?"

"Festival" He stated and I turned to him

"What?!"

"Find Hikomoto's daughter there"

"You can use your face" I suggested

"That's what I'm going to do" He smirked

"What a manwhore" I said as we entered the lift. He suddenly trapped me with his body at the corner of the lift. He leaned to me and I looked at him trying to set my expression straight.

I gulped nervously when his lips were just an inch from mine. He smirked as trailed his hand to my back

"You'll need this" He slipped a knife to my hand

"Hikomoto has a son too but he's married" He stated as he stood straight again

"That's an easy task"

"Good"
