Chapter 101: Take The Bait

"Shit. You're wet!" I exclaimed.

And shit, I almost spilled the poisoned wine. Luckily, I didn't. I never anticipated how quick Windwood could move.

"Maybe I am," he replied, his tone carrying a double meaning. "What's your name, young lady?"

"Luna." I smiled.

"Bitch."

I tried hard not to laugh when I heard Luna cursing me on the other line. Sometimes she really forgot that I was her boss on missions like these.

"Do you want another slap? Didn't you learn from the last time we both got smacked?" Finnick chimed in.

I closed my eyes, trying to focus. These two were so noisy.

"Are you okay? I didn't mean to..." I said in a worried tone, raising the other glass to offer it to him. "I was about to give you this. I hope we can be close-" "Like this?" He grabbed my waist and pulled me against him.

I tried my best not to whimper at the heat radiating from his body. Senator Windwood was undeniably handsome and physically fit for his age, but looking into his eyes, I knew there was more to him than this facade. Something wasn't in that folder, something even Kesha couldn't dig up. Now I understood why Evangeline wanted to scour the entire place before destroying it.

She was after something critical, but I had no idea what it was.

"Being close to me won't be a problem, but what about him? He looks like your boyfriend," Windwood said, pointing at Rain, who was seated on a high stool, sipping beer.

Rain had a high alcohol tolerance, so I wasn't worried. That's why I brought him to the bar instead of Finnick, even though I preferred Finnick in situations like this.

He was quiet, and that's what I liked about him.
