Chapter 245 - Fatal Mistake

Renz was confused why she was sleeping on his bed. He assumed that she was there to clean his office since she was part of the utility team.

But Renz was still wondering why she was lying on his bed. "Did she pass out from too much exhaustion after cleaning my office?" 

Renz watched her for several seconds. "Is she a new employee?" He didn't know that they had young people in their Utility Team. 

As far as he could remember, most of their utility personnel were middle-aged women or young men and middle-aged men. They seldom hired young women like her.

She has a heart-shaped face, thin pinkish pouty lips, with a prominent nose that complimented her small face. She also has perfect-shaped eyebrows and thick curly black eyelashes.

She looked so tired but it didn't make her less attractive. She was sound asleep. He contemplated whether to wake her up or not. But she was not supposed to stay there.

In the end, Renz bent down to tap her shoulders, waking her up. But the moment his hand touched her shoulder, Alexa's eyes snapped open as she became alert.

With the natural reflex of her body and her protective instinct, Alexa caught Renz's hand, pulling him on the bed as she moved on top of him, pinning him down. Her arm was holding his neck, strangling him.

"L-Let… g-go," Renz tapped her hand. He was being suffocated by her.

'Is she trying to kill me? Did someone send her to kill me?'

Alexa's eyes widened in surprise the moment she recognized the man under her. It was Renz.

'Shit! I almost forgot! I am still inside the Star Corp… in his office.'

Alexa immediately released Renz. She didn't mean to strangle him. It was her instinct and her body would react like that as her defense.

'Damn, I might blow my cover.'

"Cough, Cough! Who are you?" Renz asked her.

Alexa fell on her knees in front of him as she apologized to him.

"Sir! I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you. I'm really sorry…" 

Renz furrowed his brows as he watched the woman who was apologizing to him.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" He asked her with his authoritative voice. 

He didn't expect that she was strong enough to restrain him. She managed to strangle him as well. He thought she was sent here to kill him.

Alexa cursed herself inwardly. She was still kneeling before him, not daring to look at his eyes.

"Sir, please forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's my first day here. I'm sorry I fell asleep after cleaning your office. I'm really really sorry. Please don't send me to jail," Alexa tried her best to sound convincing. She needed to hide her identity.

"I will quit my job. Please just don't sue me. You will never see me here again, sir. Please let it slide! I beg you."

Renz just looked at her helplessly. He didn't expect her to react this way. But he could see that she regretted what she had done.

"Alright. I forgive you. Just leave my room. I wanna take a nap." Renz said, dismissing her.

He didn't want to cause trouble for the utility staff. Besides, she looked apologetic and sincere.

"But I don't want this to happen again," Renz added.

"Yes, sir! Yes, sir! I will keep that in mind." Alexa said with her panicking voice. She was good at pretending she was afraid to get sued by him.

Without giving him a second glance, Alexa picked up her mask and her cap, including her props: the cleaning tool. She left Renz's private room in a hurry.

"Damn! That was a close call! He almost caught me!" Alexa murmured to herself when she got out of his office.

Renz, on the other hand, was still massaging his neck, removing his necktie. The woman really strangled him. He thought he was going to faint from the absence of oxygen.

He was caught off guard when she suddenly pinned him on the bed. He was not able to fight back nor protect himself. What if that person was an assassin who came to kill him, then he should have been dead by now.

He thought he was lucky that she was just an ordinary employee of the Star Corp.

Renz just lay down on his bed as he wanted to rest. Her smell still lingered on his bed.

"That woman… she's a little bit… strange and… pretty," Renz mumbled before closing his eyes.

Meanwhile, Alexa decided to postpone her plan of snatching Renz's phone today to avoid suspicion.

She was still blaming herself for committing that fatal mistake of sleeping in his private room. She even exposed herself to him. 

She realized that she was not wearing her mask a while ago when Renz stepped inside the room. He saw her face. Now she had to be careful in approaching him. He might mistake her as his stalker.

Upon reaching her car, she decided to check the recording of her spying camera when she was asleep. She pressed the replay button.

Alexa frowned when she saw Renz looking so sad at his desk. It looked like he was thinking about someone. His eyes became teary. 

For some unknown reason, Alexa felt bad for him. By just watching him, she could feel his pain and sadness. He was heartbroken.

It did not take long when she saw Renz answering his phone. Renz was snapped out of his train of thoughts because of that phone call.

She listened to their conversation and she found out that Renz would hang out with his friends tonight.

After watching the footage, Alexa looked at her clothes.

"Hmm, I guess I need to change to party clothes. I have to tail and monitor him tonight." Alexa thought to herself before starting her car. She was off to buy clothes for tonight's gimmicks.

"Okay! Let's party and drink while doing my mission," Alexa mumbled, flashing a mischievous smile on her face.
