Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Kira also noticed her disheveled appearance– her clothes unkempt, her skirt slightly hanging above her knees exposing her flawless thigh, unbuttoned blouse revealing her cleavage and her bra not in the proper place it should be.

Before the male staff could see her in that messy but sexy state, Kira immediately grabbed the man, turning him around to block his view on Marceline. Then Kira shut the door behind. He didn't allow him to have a glimpse of Marceline's hot appearance. That was for his eyes ONLY. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

Marceline grabbed this opportunity to fix her clothes. Her appearance a while ago looked like someone had ravished her and she just got laid. It would ruin her image and reputation once this scene would become the source of her scandal.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her, waiting for her to commit mistakes so that her haters and enemies within the company would have the chance to chase her out of the Zhou Empire. Without her, their lives would be more peaceful.

Some wished that Marceline would not be the next CEO. They were afraid of her but they couldn't deny the fact that she was very skillful, smart, and efficient, having excellent performance in both technical and professional aspects. She's also labeled as the iron lady of the Zhou Empire.

Despite her strict and cold behavior, some directors and board members acknowledged her talents and managing skills. So it was very important for her to keep her respectable reputation.

If rumors of her making out with her newly hired gorgeous bodyguard inside a storage room would spread around the company, her image would be ruined, especially in the eyes of the board members.

Well, back to Kira– he was already solving Marceline's concern so she could be at ease. Staring directly into the man's eyes, he snapped his fingers before him and the man was immobilized on his spot.

The male staff was just looking at Kira with his blank expression. He was already in a hypnotic state under Kira's mind control.

On the sideline, Marceline watched Kira in amusement while he was using his ability. She's done fixing herself as she approached the two men. Then she heard Kira's voice, instructing the male staff of what he should do and remember.

"Forget that you saw us here. You see nothing but an empty storage. Once we leave this room, you will wake up from my mind control and you will do your own thing here, forgetting all about us."

The male staff subconsciously bobbed his head.

Kira turned to Marceline, feeling relieved that she already fixed her clothes. He grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go, Boss Lin. Time to change our hideout!"

Kira winked at her before pulling her out of the storage room. Marceline just followed him obediently. Luckily, Cedric's bodyguards were no longer lurking in the hallway going to Marceline's department office.

'The mutts are not here!' Kira thought to himself, making large strides as they both moved quickly, avoiding the members of Triple W.

Without encountering any problem, Kira and Marceline arrived in her office. Aunt Brianna was there waiting for them. She wondered where the two of them had gone as she didn't see them when she dropped by the CEO's office.

Aunt Brianna flashed a faint smile upon seeing the entangled hands of Kira and Marceline. They didn't realize that they were still holding each other's hands.

Noticing the teasing look coming from Aunt Brianna, Marceline was the first one who retreated her hand. She composed herself, fixing her blazer as she traced her steps towards her desk. She returned to her unfinished work and acted as if nothing fishy happened between Kira and her.

"Where have you been?" Aunt Brianna asked Kira in a low voice. She was now standing next to him.

Kira whispered back, answering her. "Hiding in the storage room."

Aunt Brianna's brows knitted into a frown. She didn't know if Kira was joking or not because he was smiling broadly when he said those words.

"Hiding? But why?" she asked him again, confusion resurfacing on her face.

"There are hunting dogs roaming around the building. I can't afford to start a fight with them here in the building otherwise, Boss Lin will be in trouble again because of me." He just shrugged his shoulders, thinking about the possible damage he would cause once he fought the werewolves in that building.

Aside from that, he was avoiding a much greater calamity. Breaking one door was enough to anger the tigress, how much more breaking the concrete walls and glass walls of her building.

He could already imagine the aftereffect of the fierce fight between werewolves and him. But he was more afraid to see the growling iron lady ranting and nagging at him with her blazing eyes like a fire-breathing dragon.

Aunt Brianna couldn't stop herself from giggling. She could somehow guess what Kira was thinking. Marceline tossed a look at them, feeling curious as to why Aunt Brianna was laughing.

Kira just waved at her with a bright smile while Aunt Brianna apologized for the sudden noise she created. Marceline glanced at them suspiciously. She felt like Kira and Aunt Brianna were talking about her.

She shot Kira a cold sharp glare as if giving him a warning to keep his mouth shut and not mention anything about what happened in the storage room.

It seemed Kira had understood her, he zipped his mouth while giving Marceline an 'Okay' hand sign.

Getting his response, Marceline nodded her head before moving her gaze back to her laptop.

"By the way, Kira, the perfume I gave you this morning. It can help you hide your scent even from the dogs. So you don't have to worry if you bump into them somewhere. They won't bite you because they can't notice you." Aunt Brianna said, her eyes looking at him meaningfully. A mysterious smile appeared on her face before she excused herself, going out of the office.

Kira just watched her in amusement. 'It seems like aside from my Lady Boss, there is another mysterious woman here.'

After digesting her words, Kira realized that he had something to do.

"Boss Lin, may I go out again?"

Marceline lifted her head upon hearing that. "Why?"

"I need to spy on our common enemies. I guess there is an important reason why they came here."

A hint of worry flashed through her eyes. "I thought you wanted to hide from them to avoid a fight?"

"Fear not, I can handle this Boss Lin. Besides, I promise to help you uncover the truth behind your parents' death. We need to know more about our enemies." Kira wanted to reassure her.

It took her a while before she was able to respond to him. "Okay. Just be careful not to blow your cover."

"Have a little faith in me. I will not let you down." Kira said confidently with a sign of promise in his words.

Marceline bobbed her head. She wanted to trust him. He was the only person whom she could rely on as of this moment. Even her family who knew the existence of werewolves hid this fact from her. Kira already told her about the gatekeepers, informing her that her family was one of them.

They never supported her claims that she saw those creatures in the forest. They made it look like she was just hallucinating because of the tragic and traumatic event that happened to her parents and her.

Because of this, she started doubting the Zhou Family. She couldn't trust them. And she planned on confronting her grandfather about this matter.
