Chapter 17
Zero lays in bed all night just thinking about everything she told him. She was in love with him? He stll couldn't believe it or understand it. How could she care so fast, in such little time? Who was she? He knew he yearned to be next to her, Yearned to taste her, just knowing that was a no no. For the first time in years, he wanted blood. Wanting so badly when she was standing that close to him, to bite her and take ever last drop. He stops himself from thinking about it, knowing it can't be.
He gets up in the morning and heads downstairs dressed in a suit and tie, that was in his closet. He took it that is what she would want, since now he was working for her in a different manner. He was going to do his best to snoop around to see what he could fine out about her.
"Good morning, your list is on your desk, as i told you. Coffee is in the pot if you want any before work. I am off for a few hours and I will be back later. Please make sure you have everything done." She says.
"No problem. Where are you going?" Zero asks.
"I have to go to the office today, I have a meeting. I will be back before you know it." She him a smile and walking out of the house.
Zero goes to the office, and sees the list on his desk. He takes it and reads it. There are just minor things on the list, Make a few phone calls and go to the post office and mail out the letters that were already done and sealed. There was nothing for him to look at or through to find out anything. Everything just said K. Coperations. Which could mean anything. He also sees an envelope addressed to him.
When he opens it, it has a debit card and a checking account number written out to him. Also a key to a car, with a small note.
You will need to get around, you will be running errarnds, so you will need a car. Its parked out in front of the house.
Besides your regular work, I will need you to pick up things for dinner.
Zero grabs the envelopes and the money she left for gergeies on the table and heads outside to see a black town car. The key fits just right and he knows its his.
He just can't believe it, he drops off the letters, makes the phone calls useing his cell phone and picks up the food in record time. Trying his best to search the car for any clues. He finds nothing. The phone calls he made for her were nothing but telling people to make sure they didn't forget the meeting for today. No names no info. Which left him baffled.
When Zero makes it back, she is already home, sitting in the office doing some work.
"Did you get those mailed?" She asks.
"Yes, everything you asked for is done. I even am starting dinner for us." Zero answers.
"Wonderful and thank you." She replies.
"Didt the meeting go well?" Zero asks.
"Yes everything was fine, thank you for asking." She replies.
"What was the meeting about?" Zero says.
"Just same old things, nothing important. I Find it all boring, if it wasn't my family business I would never be part of it. I just have no choice." She answers.
"Sorry to hear that your pushed into this. That doens't sound good." Zero responds.
"Its ok, we learn to deal with things we have to. I have grown alot from this." She states.
"Thats good then?" Zero remarks.
"Very. I was too native back then, I am not now." She comments.
"I will go get dinner down so we can sit down and eat." Zero states.
"That sounds wonderful." She replies.
Zero knows he got nowhere again. She wouldn't go into what kind of meeting, she knew exactly what to keep form him. Not letting him see a thing, what was she hiding? What the hell did she do for a living? It just made Zero wonder more and now be even supsious. Which didn't take much, this was Zero after all.
