Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 138: Been Outplayed

Days later, I buried myself in work. Again.

"Fuck," I cursed, snapping my neck as I sat on the couch.

I read through some documents in my right hand while holding an iced coffee in my left.

I was trying to trace the impostor's whereabouts and dig into my past-a task I dreaded-using Kesha's help.

Unfortunately, this man had advanced skills that even Kesha couldn't match. I'd anticipated this, so I wasn't too disappointed when she informed me she couldn't find anything about him. He even had a mask that could replicate someone else's face. How advanced could his systems be?

"Hey." Evangeline snapped me out of my thoughts, tossing her red pen at me. "You're fighting again? But you literally fucked each other last time-"

I didn't let her finish as I raised my iced coffee, warning her with a glare that I wouldn't hesitate to pour it on her if she said one more wrong word.

"Don't start with me," I said sharply, giving her a pointed look.

She just laughed and raised her hands in mock surrender.

Was this a side effect of her recent hospital stay? And considering Haze was the one frequently watching over her, it seemed like she'd picked up his attitude in no time.

"Fine," she muttered, sitting next to me and peering at the document I was reading. "Another mission? I thought nothing interested you anymore?"

"This is from Simon," I explained, lifting the paper slightly.

It was an easy mission. Like before, we'd retrieve a document, and thankfully, there'd be no killing involved.

I may be frustrated, but I wasn't in the mood for bloodshed today. The twins' birthday was coming up this weekend.

I didn't want to stir up any trouble, especially with such a special occasion approaching. But I couldn't deny I was glad to finally have something to do.

Financial statements and business proposals couldn't hold my interest forever.

"Finally. I missed being in the field," I said with a sigh of relief.

"You're just looking for a distraction," she countered, earning a raised brow from me. "Fine. I'll shut up."

"Good."
