Chapter 92 - She's too nice

"I'm sorry boss." Aroma apologized.

"Don't be sorry, just stop." Nathan said.

Aroma remained at the spot, bit hard at her lower lips and took a deep breath. She wasn't sure if she could stop. She had hope of letting go when Diana first appeared, hope that he would fall for Diana and she can finally be free, but then Diana become a trainee, which limited that possibility, and then Ethan showed up.

After Ethan argument with Nathan, she finally understood a few things about Diana connection with Nathan and all her hope of him falling for her crumbled.

She knew he wouldn't do it, even if he did; he will erase it as it came, because his brother is one of his greatest weaknesses, and she's well aware of that.

The few times he lost his cool and show a certain emotions except from his crazy personality is when Ethan name came up.

'If only he fell for Diana, if only things didn't turn out this way; I would have let go.' she said to herself.

Even though she met them in an intimate position then, she didn't think much about it, since she understands that Diana just came back from visiting her father. And also, this dude do as he pleases, but still wouldn't step out of line.

They have pretended to be a couple numerous time on solo missions to spy on their target, get intimate and all, yet Nathan always draw a line between them.

When they were supposed to kiss, he will only kiss her nose or cheeks, but will kiss others like it's nothing when required.

He never overstepped his boundaries with her. Even when it didn't mean anything, he chose his closeness with her with caution and never did what a brother shouldn't do to his sister.

"You called for me." She said, her expression taking a 180 degree turn.

"Sit." Nathan said, taking a deep sigh, because he knew she's acting nonchalant when she's feeling opposite inside.

"Take it slow with the girl. You're building her endurance already, she will get hurt." Nathan said, choosing his words well, because he really doesn't have any right to meddle, but he knew well, how Aroma can be very harsh, it won't be good if her next video chat with Ethan will make Ethan chose to come and train as well, to keep his eyes on her.

"She's too nice." Aroma stated.

"Nice?" Nathan asked.

"She kept apologizing for hitting me, even though I didn't look affected. She needs to learn when to be nice and when she shouldn't be." Aroma said.

Nathan sighed. Aroma was right, they have lost a few trainees who were too nice and fell victims on their missions, which is one of the reasons why they added some instructors to build them on that, but still, Aroma was pushing Diana too hard.

Even though Diana will surpass some of her colleagues quickly with the method; there's a possibility of her accidentally losing her life if care is not taken.

"Take it easy." Nathan said.

"I don't plan to. I'm gonna teach her as I wish." She replied flatly. "And also, she's participating in the tournament." she added.

"Tiffany!" Nathan exclaimed, Looked at Aroma in the eyes and bursted into laughter all of a sudden. "You want her dead?" He asked in between laughter.

"She's a fighter, she will survive and also, she learns fast." Aroma replied, looking unmoved. If there's a chance to challenge her boss, it's right now, as he had no right whatsoever.

"She made her choice anyway, just don't let her die." Nathan said, seeing that his plea isn't gonna change Aroma's mind.

"She won't." Aroma replied.

"You can leave." Nathan said and closed his eyes again.

Aroma stared at him for a few seconds, before heading out.

....

Diana finally settled down on her bed after getting her wound tended to. She was supposed to go for swimming as instructed, but someone came to inform her Aroma said she should go and rest instead.

Even though Aroma declined flatly to Nathan; she really did consider his opinion. She just wouldn't leave a chance for Nathan to think he could lecture her on how her trainee should be trained.

Diana felt sore all over, but a bit better than earlier. The Amy girl really know what to do, there's no doubt about it.

Diana couldn't process her thoughts well. Each time she wanted to feel angry at Aroma; Nathan warning about how Aroma can be very, and will be harsh surface in her mind, not allowing that feeling to have a chance.

She closed her eyes and slept off. After a few hours, she heard a knock and recalled that she had asked Fatty to knock on her door to wake her up when it's time to have their dinner; since she didn't eat in the afternoon.

She stared at her swollen arms and legs, which had miraculously calmed down and looking better within the few hours she slept. "What did she use exactly?" Diana asked out loud as she stared at her hands in disbelieving.

Getting to the cafeteria; she felt irritated at her mates response to her pain.

"You're on endurance already? Yay!!" Fatty exclaimed.

"Sweet!!!" Black joined in, while Beast was all over her. Advising her to put in more effort. None of them pitied her one bit.
