Chapter 7

1089 Words
Finally, Laura can finally take a break! While she returned to her room to take a beauty rest while waiting for the specimens, Adam, on the other hand, called for Drake’s attention, prompting the latter to get inside the boss’ office. “What is it, Boss?” his natural voice, which was as deep as the abyss of ocean, Drake stood still with his hands behind him. His eyes aimed straight at the wall without looking at his boss whose back faced him. Adam stared at the green scenery before him, where trees and plants surrounded the Cosa Nostra space. All of a sudden, one end of his lips were raised, when something exciting ran inside his mind. He let out a soft chuckle which nature responded with a fresh wind to splashing through him. Adam turned around to face his personal soldier, with the grin never leaving him. “Send this message to Director Garfield.” Adam spoke and relayed to Drake his message. “Make it as soon as possible.” He regarded him coldly, but then a soft laugh escaped from his lips right after. After getting his intention relayed, Adam then took his clothes off without warning. With his bare, sturdy and tan body in which muscles are vivid and bulged, Adam headed to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Drake stared at him with a slight crease of his forehead. No, it’s not because of how he got naked in front of him—that’s already become a normal sight. Rather, it’s because of the consecutive curves on his lips that he has been seeing lately. Definitely, the boss isn’t such the kind of person to smile a lot. “That’s odd.” Drake squinted his eyes for a second before leaving the office. He headed out of the Cosa Nostra space right in an instant to go to the place where he could get the things that the boss wanted. Adam could picture out what would happen next already. While half of his body was drenched by the bubbles of water in the bath-tub, his right hand gently twisted the red wine. He can still remember how the woman’s jade eyes dilated when he offered her a deal. It was somehow tickling his mind that he couldn’t get it out of it. “Let’s see how this works out.” He uttered and drank the whole wine. Meanwhile, Laura feels somehow agitated. She couldn’t sit still. In fact, she’s nervous of the upcoming result of Adam’s specimens. “This is my only chance…” she rubbed her hands together and tried to calm herself. She was already done with her beauty rest, yet that thought became parasite in her mind that she couldn’t remain stable at all! She tried to sit back on the bed, yet her heart still pounded hard. So, she stood up again and breathed in and out. But then again, nothing changed. Until she heard a clear and loud voice from a familiar voice that filled the entire room. “Specimens are ready, Doctor.” The voice stated, having Laura’s brows drawn in one line. “I’m… connected to his office?!” she exclaimed with a look of horror as her eyes bulged out in surprise. “Yes, you are.” But hearing the response to her supposedly intrapersonal conversation, Laura’s body paled as she stood frozen on the marble floor. “W-What…” murmured her soft voice that ended and trailed off. She began craning her neck with her dilated eyes in hopes of seeing something like a sound box, or a camera that was attached to that room! “Calm down, Doctor. After all, you’re in the Cosa Nostra’s territory. You should earn your privacy. If you prove to be trustworthy, then we can loosen up.” Adam’s voice rang, having Laura’s hand prompted to cover her body out of instinct, raising a chuckle at the boss’ end. “There’s nothing to see in your tiny body, Doctor. Hurry up here, instead.” And then the connection was cut off quickly with a subtle flick of sound at last. Laura was nailed on the floor with mouth gaping open. Did she just hear an insult from him?! Sinking brows and a frown, Laura looked at her body clothed with a pink oversized shirt. She couldn’t believe what she just heard from him! Her chest is so bulged out obviously, what does that man mean?! Instinctively, her hand was brought up to her chest. But realizing that there’s an active camera here, Laura took her hands off immediately and just let out a sigh. “As if he got the balls.” She murmured and clicked her tongue before leaving the room. The moment she got inside his office, a teasing smile greeted her in an instant, while Adam was seated on the single couch. And she does not even love to see that, knowing that she has no privacy in this place at all! Still, she should’ve considered it. Damn, these people are not the usual criminals after all. “What got you touching your breasts, Doctora? Were you that upset?” he spoke, to which she ignored. She headed straight to the medical area instead to check for her patient’s specimens. As expected, they are all ready for the testing aside from Adam’s blood that is yet to be extracted. She didn’t give him any more heads up and proceeded to do the procedures right away by getting the personal protective suit first. Being focused on her duty, she didn’t feel the presence in the doorway that was intently observing her. Laura then extracted a small amount of the urine and dropped it on the slides to begin the urinalysis. After she did a few works on the microscope, her eyes then put on the eyepiece next. She started seeing microorganism in it. She adjusted further the eyepiece and her eyes briefly dilated when she began noticing crystals. She swallowed the lump in her throat and examined further to confirm what’s on her mind. And her eyes ended up dilating in… relief, when her hunch was confirmed. With her face hiding behind the mask, her lips curved into a smile. She breathed out to collect herself accompanied with straightening her back. She almost jumped in surprise when her peripheral vision caught a sight of Adam looking at her with his cold gaze. ‘He didn’t notice it, right?’ “My initial examination suggests a kidney disease, Mr. Adamson.”
