Chapter 6: The News

Me and Chandler froze under the sound of his girlfriend's voice. I slowly looked up and saw a dirty blonde standing in the doorway with her hands covering her mouth. Okay I know I was going to try to get her out of the picture, but this was definitely NOT part of my plan at all. Not this early at least.

Chandler jolted up, knocked me off the bed.

"Ouch." I grumbled, standing up and rubbing my ass. Chandler jumped out of bed and basically ran to Stacy, arms outstretched.

"Stace I swear its not what it looks like. You have to believe me." he pleaded.

"Chan, what the fuck am I supposed to think?! I come to wake you up for breakfast and find some slut clawing at your chest!" she shouted angrily, pointing at me. Slut?

"Pause right there, Stace," I mocked. "First off I am NOT a slut, and second, I was NOT clawing at his chest." I spit out, offended. I am not a slut. She looked me up and down in disgust, then turned back to Chandler.

"I don't have time for this. I need to go to work, but you have a LOT of explaining to do tonight." she said, gritting her teeth. Chandler looked confused.

"What's tonight?" he asked.

"We are having dinner tonight to discuss," she glanced and me and I smiled back. "...her." She finished, still crunching up her face in disgust. I rolled my eyes. She's not making herself likable, which made me want to get rid of her more than before.

Chandler shifted nervously and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Okay yea definitely and I promise its not what it looks like. I promise you babe, I would never cheat on you. I promise." he repeated for like the billionth time.

Okay I'm pretty sure she gets it. I promise I promise blah blah blah.

She let out a huge breath and nodded.

"Alright I will try to listen without thinking about what I saw. I need to go now, I will see you tonight." With that, she walked out and made her way downstairs. I waited for the front door to close before said anything. Once the door closed I turned to Chandler.

"I promise babe I promise! I wasn't sleeping with the super sexy delicious looking Terri, I've thought about it of course, but I swear I didn't act on it. Oh and by the way, I also let her feel all up on me, it felt soon good!" I said, mimicking Chandler's voice, laughing.

He turned my way and looked at with anger clearly written on his face. I feigned surprise.

"What?" I gasped. He slowly walked towards me and it took all my might not to retreat. He was pretty menacing. Once he was in my face, he looked me dead in the eyes.

"Is this some kind of sick joke to you? Ruining my perfectly great relationship?" he growled, furious.

I scrunched my eyebrows and looked up at him innocently.

"Joke? Oh no of course not Channy. I would not ever try to ruin your perfectly good relationship," I said stepping closer to him. I went on my tiptoes and my breath fanned his ear. "You will be doing all of that work yourself." I whispered in his ear as I ran my hands slowly down his rock hard chest and peeked up from under my eyelashes.

He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, trying to suppress his moan. My hands traveled even further down, but was stopped as Chandler grabbed my hands.

His eyes flew open and pulled my hands back to my side.

"Stop. Touching. Me." He said slowly, as if to get me to understand what he was saying. I rolled my eyes yet again, and walked past him, my hands trailing across his chest as I left.

"Stop being so up tight Mr. Austin. I'm just trying to have some fun. You need to loosen up." I stood at the bedroom door and smiled up at him. "What your girlfriend doesn't know won't hurt her you know." I winked.

"I'm not that type of guy. You are here to work for me, so from now on I expect you to be professional or else you're fired. Do you understand?" he warned me.

"Yea, yea whatever. I hear you." I mumbled. Can't get myself fired when I just started.

He nodded. I walked out the door and made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen, Chandler following.

"Good. And I told you to call me Chandler, not Mr. Austin." he said, hopping up to sit on the island.

I grinned and cocked my head to the side.

"And I told you the only time I was going to call you that didn't I?" I asked, smirking at his face paling as he remembered what I told him. I laughed and got some breakfast items from the fridge.

*******

After long, hard, tortured hours of work, Chandler finally let me go home, at freaking 6:37 p.m! I swear this mission is going to be the death of me.

As soon as I got home, I plopped down on my king sized bed and let out a sigh of relief of being stress free at the moment.

I turned on my side to get more comfortable and looked at my phone sitting on my dresser beside me. I decided to call Cece because I haven't talked to her in a while.

"Terri!!! You live!" Cece yelled excitingly into the phone. I grimaced.

"Ouch Cece, don't bust my eardrum, its only been like a week." I answered, sitting up in my bed.

"I know I know, but a week is too long. Don't ever take that long to contact me again, understand?" I chuckled, shaking my head.

"Yes Cece, I understand." I could imagine her smiling right now.

"Good! Now tell me, how's your mission going? Close to finishing it yet?" she asked. I groaned.

"Not even close. The guy I'm supposed to seduce and kill has a girlfriend who is super protective and the jealous type AND he's in love with her. So no, this is probably going to take the full three months to complete."

"Well, if anyone can seduce someone, it's you. I swear you can get any guy you want, I'm so jealous!" Cece whined.

"That's not true Cece, you know you get any guy you come in contact with. It doesn't matter who-" My phone started vibrating. I took it off my ear and looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Chandler. Ugh, what could he want now? I put my phone back to my ear.

"Hey Cece I'm going to have to talk to you later, my assignment is calling me." I told her, sliding off my bed to pace around my room.

"Okay! Good luck on your mission and call me tomorrow! Love ya!" she answered.

"Love you too!" I hung up and answered Chandler.

"Yes Mr. Austin?" I answered, trying to hide the annoyance in my voice.

"How fast can you get ready?" he asked me. Huh?

"Umm, why?" I asked, scrunching my eyebrows together, genuinely confused.

"I need you to get ready, and come to dinner with me. I have a last minute business meeting and need you there. Dress nicely." he said.

"What happened to dinner with Stacyyyy?" I asked, taunting him.

He let out a frustrated sigh.

"I cancelled beause my business is more important. I'll sort things out with her later. Just get dressed." He hung up on me.

I looked at my phone, mouth open. What the actual fuck. I let out a frustrated yell and threw my phone on the bed. Seriously I just started this mission, but it was already tiring.

I heard my phone beep and I reached across my bed to see who had texted me. It was Chandler. He texted me the address to the restaurant. I rolled my eyes and went to my walk in closet, looking for something nice to wear.

I pulled out a bright pink romper and put it on, deciding to stand out. I looked through my shoe selection and decided on a pair of nude-pink heels. Sexy, yet elegant at the same time I guess.

I went to my body length mirror to check myself out. The pink romper accentuated my long legs and brought out how black my hair was.

I brushed out my black waves and put on light makeup. To finish up the look, I grabbed a blue clutch out of my closet. After I finished getting ready, I sent a text on my way out the door to Chandler, telling him that I was on my way.

I hopped into my car and drove to the restaurant. I pulled up to the entrance of the classy restaurant. The huge pink sign read Alimentaire Élégante. I'm guessing its french or something. A man dressed in black and white came to my door and opened it for me, extending his hand to help me out of my car.

"Thank you." I said politely, smiling at him as I gave the valet my keys. He nodded and smiled at me. I walked through the doors of the restaurant and made my way up to the man standing behind the podium with the checklist.

"Hi madam, welcome to Alimentaire Élégante, do you have reservation?" he asked, with a heavy french accent.

"Umm, yes? I think. It should be under the name-"

"She's with me Fabian, let her though." a deep voice interrupted me.

I looked up and saw Chandler and almost fainted. He looked absolutely fuckable, standing next to Fabian in an all black suit that hugged every muscle on his body, with a baby pink tie. My eyes widened as I took in his overwhelming beauty, eyes wandering ever inch of his body. His jet black hair was slicked back professionally and his green eyes seemed brighter than usual.

"Come Terri, we shouldn't keep business waiting." He said, breaking me out of my trance like state.

"Oh yea of course, okay coming." I stammered, hurrying by his side. We walked to a private, closed off section of the restaurant and I saw two men sitting at a large table. As we approached the table, I felt a hand slide to my waist and was pulled to Chandler's side.

"You look very stunning," Chandler whispered into my ear as we got closer to the table. "You should dress up more often, I like it." His deep voice sent shivers down my body.

We made it to the table and the two men looked up. One was blonde with blue eyes, and a friendly face. The other had dark brown hair with light brown eyes, but had more of a hard face, as if he rarely smiled.

Chandler pulled out a chair for me and I sat down, across from the guy who didn't smile. Chandler took a seat next to me across from the kind looking guy.

"I'm glad you could meet with us tonight, sorry that it was so sudden. But its very important and couldn't wait until tomorrow." The blondie said to Chandler, wringing his hands nervously.

"It's okay Simon. But is it that important that you needed to bring Brian along with you?" he asked, distaste lacing his voice as he warily looked at Brian, the one who doesn't smile. Brian slouched down in his chair lazily.

"It wasn't my choice to be here. It was Simons. He wanted to make sure he had a witness to back up what he's about to tell you. He didn't know you would have a," his eyes flitted to me then back to Chandler. "...companion here with you also." Chandler looked confused and glanced at me.

"Oh, yea I got a new assistant. She came out of nowhere looking for a job, so I decided to hire her. I just hired her two days ago. This is Terri. Terri, meet Brian and Simon." Brian squinted his eyes at me suspiciously as Chandler explained.

I smiled at both of them and put my hand out to shake theirs.

"Hi, nice to meet you both." I said shaking Simons hand. Brian just looked at it like it was a piece of meat and ignored my gesture. Rude.

"Anyway," Simon continued. Remember the thing that happened before and we made sure something like it never happened again? Well we found out some information that we think you should know." Simon looked at me cautiously, as if he didn't want to continue what he was saying in front of me. Chandler noticed.

"You can say what you need to say in front of her. I will fill her in about everything else later." he told Simon, coaxing him to go on. Simon still looked cautious, but continued anyway.

"Okay so me and Brian were talking to our contacts, and we found out that the crew that tried to kill you the last time is still alive and thriving. We are going to get more information to figure out where they are hiding out at so we can stop their current plan." he explained.

I froze in my seat.

Chandler's expression hardened, and his knuckles turned white from gripping the table.

"What current plan?" he asked, his deep voice laced with anger.

Simon looked around to make sure no one was listening and nervously answered.

"They are planing to have you killed by the end of three months."

My throat went dry.
