A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 112 Book 2 Chapter 4
Book 2 – Ch.# 4
“Come in,” said a deep voice on the other side of the door.
I’d only had to wait a few seconds for his response after knocking, but I wished there hadn’t been a reply at all. More than anything else, I just wanted to walk away. I wanted him to not be there waiting for me in his office. But that wasn’t the case.
After leaving the construction site, I’d done only the bare minimum in fixing my appearance before coming here. Showering within a few minutes and changing into some more appropriate clothing as quickly as possible. After all, I wouldn’t be able to show myself in the state I’d been in after the accident.
There was no backing out now. With one final deep breath, I pushed open the door and faced the man I knew would be there.
Even in the dim light of his office, I could still make him out clearly as he sat behind his desk. His clean-cut dark hair and expensive suit only adding to his imposing presentation, his blue eyes having a way that made you want to squirm away under their gaze. This was the man many feared… and rightfully so. “My sweet Raven,” he greeted, standing up as I entered. I moved to the centre of the room and avoided his eyes, casting my own down to the ground in a sign of submission and apology. “Sorry for keeping you waiting, sir,” I said. “I came here as quickly as I could.”
“Ah… yes, understandable.”
I heard as he walked around the desk to stand in front of me, his hand coming up to pinch under my chin. Instantly, my pulse began to quicken. What would be the punishment waiting for me this time?
“Look at me,” he instructed, pushing my head up. “Tell me what happened.”
There was no point in lying to him. He would find out the truth even if I tried to deceive him. He always did. There was no such thing as hiding a secret from Eric Reid.
“I failed to bring in Miles Kennedy alive, sir,” I answered slowly. “I apologise for my carelessness.”
He clicked his tongue three times in disapproval, causing me to flinch involuntarily in surprise at the abrupt sound. Despite that though, I still remained firmly in his grasp. “So disappointing, Raven,” he scolded, “So unlike you.”
I lost control,” I admitted,
“Ah.”
