“Mafia boss?”
She asked and he nodded in response.
"He wants the best one and I think you are perfect for this job, it's only for 6 months until Dylan comes back on duty. I will transfer the money in your account.
He told her all the details about the job and about
Jayden’s business..
"Okay"
She accepted the job.
"Great and you remember our rules right..?"
He looked at her with serious expressions…
“Yes…
1. Protect your boss with your life.
2. Never betray him, my loyalty will remain with him until I work for him.
3. Don't defy his orders and don't disrespect him no matter what.
4. I am suppose to kill each and every person who ever dares to hurt him.
5. His safety comes first and I am suppose to sacrifice my life if I have to, to protect him.
She recalled all the rules in front of her chief with serious face.
"Excellent I know you won't let me down Ivy, and remember he is a important client and a very important task for you, you have to fly there tonight he wants his bodyguard in front of him tomorrow, collect your ticket and passport from the office they will provide you everything including all the necessary things... You may leave now, Good luck.
He said and Ivy left the office giving him a firm nod.
**************
When She was packing her clothes and all the necessary things she felt someone's presence behind her.
"How many times have I told you Logan knock the door before entering my room.”
She said without turning to him, she locked her bag and kept it on the floor...
"God knows how everytime you manage to sense that I am behind you without even looking at me, and I did well this time you know I was quite while entering.”
He said with disappointed face, Logan was a 25 years old guy just like her, Hughes adopted Ivy and Logan at the same time when they were 5 years old and after that they got trained together but Ivy became grade 1 and Logan was still Grade 2 fighter.
"Yes, you did good but your signature perfume always betrayed you.
She replied while wearing black hoodie over her tank top, she wore comfortable clothes for traveling...
"Smart... By the way I heard you will be gone for six months.
He sat down on her bed, she confirmed with a nod.
"Well, I want to tell you something before you leave, it's important.
He said seriously, Ivy looked at him and gestured him to continue..
"I don't how will you react but I have waited so long for this, I was waiting for the right moment but you are suddenly leaving so I don't have a choice but to tell you that.... That.... I... I…”
He stuttered, Ivy narrowed her eyes when she saw his forehead sweating, hands lightly shaking and he was gulping continuously...
"I don't have time Logan, speak..."
She said looking at her wristwatch...
Logan stood up from the bed, standing in front her he held her hands in his, she frowned at his actions but didn't say anything...
He took a deep breath and said.
"I like you Ivy... More than a friend.”
She looked at him for a minute with her cold expressionless face, she withdrew her hands from his and said.
"You shouldn't Logan, you know these kind of things does not exist in our world. We are not allowed to show any kind of emotions, it's not good for us and our jobs.
She said in her usual cold tone whatever Logan said her heart didn't even flutter for a moment by his words, she was standing there like her childhood friend didn't confessed his feelings for her.
"What job you are talking about, killing people for money, you always talk about rules and discipline and I respect that I am glad that you became grade 1 fighter and I am trying hard too. but don't you think we also have a right to become happy, laugh and enjoy our life like normal people, even if we are Assassin's we are humans too. We have a right to express our emotions and feelings, we have a right to cry Ivy. Hughes is using our skills for his benefits, for earning money. We can escape from this place and make our new world.
Logan tried to change her thoughts, she shook her head negatively at his words.
"Yeah! escape from here and then Hughes will hire every Assassin in this school to find and kill you, do you want to spend your whole life with fear that anytime Hughes will come and kill you and your loved ones, did you forget what happened with Levi when he ran away from here and you know how Hughes killed him for breaking the rules, you think you can spend your life peacefully after escaping, May be you think like that Logan but I don't, all the people we killed for money were not good people we don't kill innocents you know that, they were either criminals or corrupt officers and politicians, and I don't want to become happy or feel any kind of emotions, emotions will destroy you and before saying anything about Hughes remember that you are standing here alive because of him, whatever skills you have it's because of Hughes, he adopted us that's why we are here otherwise we would have been dead by now or may be begging on the streets you know that very well, and how this world treats abandoned kids I don't have to explain you that, we are lucky that we ended up here and not in some Whorehouse. Emotions and feelings do not exist in my world Logan most specially love, it's nothing but a waste of time..”
She replied coldly breaking Logan’s heart..
"It does exist in your world Ivy only difference is you learnt to hide it perfectly, I know you care and feels emotions just like me but you don't show that to anyone and I don't blame you for that I know why you are like this, it's because of your mom, isn't it?..”
He said and tried to search for any kind emotions in her cold grey eyes but found none.
"I don't have any mother Logan, I am an orphan and you are wrong I don't feel anything, no emotions or any kind of happiness, nothing, and you should do the same the more you try to feel about things the more it will hurt to kill someone while doing your job.”
Her words broke his heart but he didn't showed that in front of her he tried to act cold like her..
He nodded at her words.
"Yes You are right, you should leave now you are getting late... And one more thing Ivy I'll pray for someone to come in your life and make you fall in love with him, then you will understand the meaning of emotions and feelings, it's a beautiful feeling Ivy it will change you and no matter how good you are to hide your emotions from the world you will loose in front of him, love will change you for good...”
She didn't said anything after listening his words, she took her luggage and left the room not even bothering to look at her childhood friend who just confessed his feelings in front of her which hurts Logan but he shrugged it off...
"I know you do feel things Ivy, it's just you are too good to hide them under your cold and emotionless facade.
He said to himself and left her empty room...
