She wasn’t there on official duty. Mimi knew she was still employed to Marcel but she was not in the mood to go for her lessons nor had he demanded she makes his coffee – Marcel knew what he did was unforgivable and must be suffering a guilty conscience.

Victor was not talking about her absence either, at least since she arrived. She promised to continue with her job but she didn’t say “when”. Mimi was not ready to face him at the moment.

But fate always seemed to have other plans for her because as she was climbing down the stairs, Victor was waiting downstairs for her. From his stance, it was obvious he was determined to talk to her and she sighed. Why couldn’t he understand the word, “giving her space”?

Nonetheless, Mimi composed herself and continued her journey until she reached the last step and was about to walk past him when he grabbed her, “Can we talk?” he added, “Please?”

Mimi glanced at the hand on her arm and he retracted it at once upon noticing what he did. He didn’t want to seem forceful or frighten her any further than he has done already.

“What is it that you want to talk about?” Mimi faced him, hands wrapped around her chest in a defensive pose. The tension between the both of them

was so thick it seemed she was beginning to choke on it.

How did their relationship turn out this way? Mimi cried out inwardly but outwardly, her expression was blank and she looked impatient as if she couldn’t spend one more minute sharing the same air with him.

.....

Victor wanted to suggest they go to a place more private but the words died on her lips upon reading her body language – she wanted to be as far as him. Pain flashed across his face but he was quick to hide it, saying instead, “You are going on a date with Dante?”

Shock appeared on Mimi’s face at first, followed by disbelief and then anger, “You were spying on me, again?” Mimi asked, even though she knew it was only a matter of time till he found out.

“You know I always keep my eyes on you,” He tactically corrected her with a chilling calm and Mimi was unable to argue further having sensed the impending storm. She simply ran her hands through her hair and looked away while Victor worked on keeping his anger in check.

Victor had been fucking mad when he found out about her plans. He had even been with her yesterday and Mimi made no effort to tell her about her “date” with his frenemy. Victor felt insulted – she made him feel like a fool.

“It’s not a date,” Mimi tried to explain himself, “He was there to apologize, and then he offered dinner to make it up to -”

“He held you hostage!” Victor growled, reminding her what would have happened that day had he not rescued her.

“He’s repented...”

“Repented, my ass!” Victor barked, startling Mimi so much that she took a step back. And that was a big mistake because he began to box her in until her back was pressed against the wall and there was no way for her to turn.

“What are you doing?” Mimi gasped when he came too close for her liking.

“You seem to be mistaken, Mimi,” Victor said darkly, causing goosebumps to rise on her arms when he placed both hands on either side of her, “Men in my world don’t change at all, we simply camouflage to the circumstances we find ourselves in.”

Mimi gulped, Victor’s gaze was so smoldering that she felt uncomfortable. Her heart was pounding in her throat and she was hyper-aware of his body pressed flush against hers – and a place a woman shouldn’t name.

She didn’t say a word and Victor didn’t either, just looking into each other’s eyes as the environment became charged as if sulfur was in the air and dangerously close to being lit. With the way his gaze flickered down to her lips, Mimi thought he would kiss her and her lips slightly parted.

But to her surprise, he took a step back and her sense of reasoning returned as well. What had she been thinking? Kiss Victor? She must be out of her mind! The first time was a mistake and there was no way she was forgiving him easily!

Now composed, Mimi was able to speak to him without losing her head, “I’ve heard what you said Victor and I’m sincerely grateful for looking out for me. However, I’m old enough to take responsibility for my actions. You don’t need to worry about me and I would love it if you don’t cross the line anymore as we agreed upon. Thank you, so much. ”

And with that being said, Mimi left before he could say a word. Not that he said something because his mouth only opened and closed helplessly. It was not his place to tell her what to do because they weren’t that close anymore and she was an adult like she said. But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t look out for her amid her warning. Her stubbornness would be the death of him.

Meanwhile, Mimi drove back home to prepare for her date with Draco. She had spent the morning and afternoon keeping Arianna company.

She did some cleaning around the house to keep her mind off the nonsensical voices in her head telling her that this date was a mistake. But it was just a meal! What could Draco possibly do to her?

Soon enough, it was time to prepare herself for the date and Mimi ended up donning one of the beautiful gowns she owned with a jacket against the cold. However, she didn’t forget to add her paper spray and switchblade to her purse in case of emergencies. If Draco turned out to be pretending, she’d be prepared for him.

She didn’t need a man to save her.
