Chapter 5 He's arrogant

Chapter 5

She stared at the man in the picture closely for a while, before she finally raised her gaze to Jay, having a blank expression on her face for split seconds. Silence crowded the air for some time, and after what seemed like forever, she finally spoke up.

"Three months..." She said, her gaze on her wristwatch, and after a while, she finally raised her gaze to look at him.

"That's all I need to get this . I need every necessary information about him, his residence, his lifestyle, and everything that'll help in this mission, and once it's all provided, I'll start my mission. For now, goodnight." She said egoistically and with that, she stood up and started walking away, while Theo stared at her in awe.

"Wow! She's so amazing." Alex said once she was out of sight, Jay couldn't help the scoff that tore through her throat. He didn't find anything amazing in her but concluded everything was show off.

"Stop talking, gather the information for her already." He said in his usual cold voice then stood up and started walking away.

Harley lay on the bed, her gaze staring intently at the ceiling, as her thoughts were clouded. It was barely twenty-four hours that she left Mexico, and yet she was already missing everyone, especially Samir. She couldn't believe that she was going to stay in Russia for a whole three months, just the thought of it make her angry.

The sound of her ringing phone jolted her back to reality, and she wiped the tears that stained her cheeks, before sitting up on the bed and reaching out to her phone, which was laying on the bedside table. A smile laced up her lips, as she saw that it was a video call from Samir. Without wasting time, she slide the answer button, and Samir's handsome face popped up on the screen.

"Hey! How're you doing?" He asked with concern in his voice, but she only rolled her eyes sadly. How else would she be doing? How would she be fine being away from them? She never thought it'd hurt this much, but turns out that they've all become a part of her, and she can't afford to be away from them.

"Nothing special." She sighed deeply, trying to fight back the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. Seeing his handsome face, she couldn't help but wish that she could hug him that instant.

"Don't be sad, pretty. You'll be back here before you know it. Now smile for me." He said, and she rolled her eyes shyly as a smile laced up her lips.

"That's my girl. So, how are they treating you there?" He asked, and she scoffed as the thought of Jay flashed through her mind.

"That Jay or whatever he's called, is a scumbag!" She scoffed as she rolled her eyes, and he was forced to gasp from the other end.

"Come on girl, you better be careful of your words, OK? Jay is not someone to mess with, he's dangerous and I bet if he hears you say that, he won't spare you." He said.

"Not like I care, he can be as dangerous as he wants, that's his problem to deal with, and that doesn't stop him from being a scumbag. And one more thing, I'm not scared of that arrogant jerk, he can go to hell for all I care. I'm not one of his men, I'm someone he invited here for a mission, and he should respect me for that." She scoffed.

"Can you calm down, please?" He spoke softly.

"You won't believe that I came here and the bastard couldn't even welcome me, he didn't let me introduce myself, he was like 'I've heard a lot about you from Samir, so I don't see the importance of introducing yourself again. I'll just go straight to the point' what the heck is that? You know that first impression counts most, but too bad he just left a bad one, and I'll forever hate him. I can't just wait to leave this goddamn pla..." Her voice was cut off as the door suddenly opened and Jay walked in egoistically.

"Did you so much need a welcome?" A smirk laced up his lips, as he tucked his hands in his pocket while leaning against the wall.

"Harley...what's going on there? Are you OK?" Samir asked worriedly, and she nodded.

"We'll talk tomorrow." She said to him and ended the call before turning her attention to Jay.

"Isn't that indecent, barging into a girl's room like that, huh? Or is this how you go around barging into people's rooms unannounced?" She asked sarcastically.

"I don't think I should answer to that, but if I should, then I'd tell you that this is my house, and I have the right to go into any room, anytime and anyhow I like it, so you have no right whatsoever to ask me that." He said in his cold and thick voice. He turned around and pulled the door open to go out, but stopped abruptly.

"You're here for business, don't expect to be given special treatment. If you have a bad impression of me, it'll also interest you to know that I don't give a damn about that. 4am is the time to visit the gym, and then to the shooting range, a minute late will cost you a lot, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to get on Jayden's bad side." He said and with that, he walked gracefully out of the room and closed the door, while she stared at the closed door unbelievably, processing everything he just said...

Harley POV

I barely slept for some hours, when I heard a loud sound jolting me out of my deep slumber. Where the hell did that come from? I groaned tiredly as I managed to sit up on the bed, and glancing at the wall clock, I realized that it was just 3am. Gosh! Can't they allow me to rest? I'm a human, right? I spent the whole day in flight yesterday, and now I have to wake up this early for some training shit, well I'm going to lose my life soon, all thanks to Samir. If he hadn't sent me down here, I wouldn't be going through all of this stress.

Standing up from the bed, I dragged my feet into the bathroom and had a quick bath, then wore my black hoodie and a face cap, after which I pulled the hoodie over the cap before I finally left my room to go for the damn training.

Stepping out of the room, I almost collided with someone, and snapping my head angrily to check who the person was, I rolled my eyes. It was Alex. Gosh! Why him this early morning?

"Hi! Good morning." He smiled at me, and I rolled my eyes as I tuck my hands in my pockets, glaring at him.

"You should stop smiling in the future." I rolled my eyes and walked past him, going to God knows where. Not that I know my way around here.

"You should ask for direction in the future, and don't let your ego get into your head." I heard him scoff behind me, and I gritted my teeth. I huffed angrily and started following him. After walking for what seemed like forever, he finally stopped in front of a door, and I sighed. For some seconds, I thought we were already outside the house due to the long walk.

After spending almost forever at the gym, we proceeded to the shooting range. I know well how to shoot and it's kind of fun, shooting. I can say that shooting is one of the things I love doing. I shot at all the boards perfectly without missing any of the targets. After we were done, I retired to my room to have some rest.

I crashed on my bed as soon as I walked sluggishly into my room. I miss Samir so much and I can't wait to see him again. I dashed into the bathroom afterward to have a quick bath. After I was done bathing, I walked back into the room, but froze on the spot at the sight I was welcomed by, it was Jayden sitting on my bed. What the heck is he doing here?...
