...

"Lyla no!" I whisper-yelled.

"Kate you have to." She said and continued to pull me.

"Lyla! I don't want to! I still feel embarrassed because of yesterday." I continued to whisper-yell at her.

"I don't care. We're going to go and greet them. Right fucking now." She said and then knocked on the door.

Only then did I notice she managed to drag me all the way in front of their office door.

No, no, no, no, no...

"Come in."

And my heart jumped. I was instantly reminded of how deadly these twins actually were.

Will I really be able to work with them?

But before I could think any further, Lyla pulled me with her. And now I'm face to face with my bosses. Draco was already grinning like the Cheshire cat while Tharion was studying me very carefully.

I feel so exposed now. And it's not because of the stupid skirt.

"Morning." Lyla said cheerfully.

"G-good morning Sirs." I mumbled quickly.

"Morning girls." Draco replied and Tharion nodded his head as a greeting.

Oof! Sexy voice be like.

"Lyla, can you leave us alone with Miss Zale for a moment?" Draco asked.

I immediately looked at Lyla in panic.

Don't you dare.

I tried to tell her with my eyes to not leave me alone with them, but she just looked skeptically between the three of us.

"Umm... Sure..." She said hesitantly.

My eyes widened.

No!

I pleaded her with my eyes to stay, but I don't think she understood me. And after a few seconds, she was out.

Fuck!

"Miss Zale." Draco said, making me turn around to face them.

Shit. I'm in trouble now.

"Yes?" I said and smiled nervously.

"Come a little closer." Draco said in amusement.

This is it. My doom.

I gulped and made a few steps forward.

"Perfect." He said and then got up.

Fuck!

Tharion got up too.

Double fuck!

Draco started to circle around me and Tharion just leaned on his desk and crossed his arms.

"Now. Before we start, I just want to tell you that there's no need to feel scared or nervous, Miss Zale." Draco began with a smile.

"This is just a reminder." Tharion added slowly.

Fuck my ears. Their voices are perfection above perfection. And the way Draco keeps saying 'Miss Zale' is already engraved in my brain for the rest of the eternity.

"Yesterday, you've shown us you're a very capable and responsible person, thus why we promoted you." Draco said. "It's also because Lyla needs help now that there's more work." He quickly added.

I nodded my head, not really understanding where they're going with all of this. And also because I didn't trust my stupid mouth at the moment.

"But we really need to talk about your colorful vocabulary." Draco said with an amused smirk.

Well shit.

"I hope that's not your everyday use while working Miss Zale." Tharion said with a lifted brow.

"O-of course not Sir. Yesterday was an accident. I-I would never act like that while working." I mumbled quickly.

I knew it. My tongue has already started to loosen up. If I have to talk any longer, I'll be in trouble.

"Perfect." Draco said somewhere behind me.

I feel like a lion's prey...

"Now the other thing." Draco said excitedly.

"Wh-what other... thing..." I mumbled quietly.

"Since it's only the four of us on this entire floor, we wanted to ask you if it's alright for us to call you by your name. We got used to calling Lyla by hers and now it feels a bit off when we call you Miss Zale." He explained.

I accidentally looked at Tharion and he was already looking at me. I quickly averted my eyes away from him.

And then my mouth went wild.

"I-I-mean-you're-the-bosses. It's-up-to-you-if-you-want-to-

call-me-by-my-name. I'm-fine-

with-anything-really. Whatever-

feels-comfortable-for-you, you're-

free-to-call-me-that. But-I-don't-

think-I'll-be-able-to-do-the-same. You-see, it-kind-of-runs-in-the-

family-and-I-"

"Katherine!" Both of them yelled a little.

I stopped blabbering.

"Yes?" I squeaked in embarrassment.

They had stunned faces and I immediately realized I probably should've just kept my mouth shut.

Way to go Kate...

...

Holly shit...

Both twins thought at the same time.

'This girl spits fire better then both of us combined.' Draco said awestruck.

'I agree.' Tharion added in the same tone.

'I already have a few ideas in mind of how we can use those mouth of hers. And I'm not referring to talking.' Draco said mischievously.

"Draco..." Tharion warned sternly.

"Fine, fine. I'll behave." Draco said. "For now." He added playfully.

...

It was going kinda okay, and now I messed it up. Nice one Kate.

Both of them were still looking at me surprised.

"I-I apologize. I-think-I'll-go-now." I mumbled and quickly bolted out of the office.

Then I ran to Lyla and hid under her desk.

"What the hell are you doing?" Lyla said in amusement.

"Hide me. I just messed up big time." I said quickly.

"Why? What-"

"Lyla." Someone said, interrupting her.

And I immediately recognized that voice.

Nooo... They followed me.

"Hey guys." Lyla said.

"Where did Katherine run of to?" Draco asked.

I immediately grabbed her leg and squeezed it as a sign to not tell them I'm here.

"Umm... I don't really know. She just ran straight to the elevator." She explained.

Nice Lyla. Keep going.

"Really now? Then how come she's right here?" Said I voice right next to me.

My heart literally stopped.

I slowly turned my head to the right and sure enough, Draco was squatting next to me with his hands under his chin and a big goofy smile on his face.

"Ahh!" I screamed in fright.

And my clumsy self also lost balance, so now I'm sitting on the floor, under Lyla's desk.

Can I just end myself?

I slowly glanced up and saw Tharion leaning on Lyla's desk with crossed arms. A small amused grin decorating his handsome face too.

"S-s-s-sirs I-"

"Breath Katie." Draco said in amusement. "We're not going to eat you." He added playfully.

"I-I-I-"

Then I felt a hand cover my mouth. I looked up and and it was Lyla.

"Why don't you go and grab us some coffee while I fix this situation?" She said with a smile and pulled me up to my feet.

I just nodded my head and ran to the elevator as quickly as possible.

Why do I have to have stupid mouth?

The elevator dinged and the door opened. I walked in and pressed the first floor button. Then I pressed my forehead on the wall in front of me and groaned loudly.

This is too much for my weak heart.
