Chapter 131 - Miss pervert

Next day.

Ethan heard a knock on the door of his room early in the morning and immediately he opened it; Diana face appeared.

"You're up early." he said, leaning and pecking her right cheek.

"You can fight right?" Diana asked, which surprised Ethan.

"Fight?" he questioned, allowing her inside.

"You know combat skills?" she asked again.

Thinking she needed his help with something; "Yes." he replied.

Feeling a surge of force coming for him; he swiftly dodge it and was stunned as Diana's fist that just threw a punch at him got retracted.

Diana inside bubble with happiness, "let's fight." she said. her eyes glowing like a drug addict who just got her dose delivered.

"You want to fight me?" Ethan asked, but before he realized what was happening; a blow was thrown at him, which he didn't evade and hit him in the stomach.

"Arrgh!" he exclaimed at the impact of the blow and couldn't believe her fist just delivered such.

Seeing the little blood stain at the corner of his lips; Diana returned to her senses immediately and covered her mouth with both hands, "I-I thought you were gonna evade it." she stammered.

"It's fine! are you okay?" Ethan asked, enduring the sharp pain in his stomach and reach for her.

Seeing her trying to escape his touch; he quickly reached for her and hugged her tightly. His heart hurt as he saw her body shivering. She seem restless like she's really a drug addict suffering from its side effects.

"Talk to me." He said, trying to lift up her head as she kept crying in his arms, with her head buried in his chest.

"I can't believe I hurt you." she muttered, tears streaming down her face.

"You didn't." He replied.

"Your lips…. blood…" she bursted into tears again.

"Your blow is not that strong. I got kidnapped once and received lots of blows to it. It became sensitive since then." Ethan lied.

"I felt like a part of me was missing. I've spent more than a week without fighting. I missed it… I don't understand myself without it… I feel incomplete…"

"I understand." Ethan cuts in. He has always been alert since Nathan told him she's crazy.

Diana has been feeling this urge, but scared of startling Ethan and has been holding back, but the system battle with Shane's company and his hackers the previous day made her switched back and unable to control herself.

"You understand?" she asked.

"I do. But you should take a break. I want to have nice moments with you and exchanging blows doesn't seem nice to me. You need to not allow it control you or you will feel hurt in the end." Ethan paused. "Like you're feeling now, for hitting me." he added.

"I'm sorry." Diana said.

"I will arranged a gyming centre in the villa tomorrow, we can exercise together but no fighting."

...

Getting to work the next day, which is monday; Diana received a shocking news. The girl that arrived the same day she did, died in her house during the weekend.

The office was in uproar throughout the day. Some of them who also suspected the company nearly blurted out that it hasn't even been a month yet.

Diana also felt sad. But a thought popped up in her head. The girl was all over the place. She seems very excited to work in the company.

Based on Diana's deductions; it seems she didn't expect to get hired into a big company as this. She had this feeling that the girl got killed quickly because of her excitement and cheerfulness over the company, which is clear she's very happy to be there.

'Could it be that I haven't gotten on the person's bad side because I din't seem excited or the other way around about this place?' she wondered.

If that is the case, then she felt like she shouldn't just sit and wait for trouble to come; she should find it herself.

All through the day Diana felt stares on her by some of the workers. Mostly those who was with the netizen about the company being related to the murder.

They were looking at her with pitiful expression like she's the next victim. Like they were preparing themselves to mourn over her too.

…..

Ethan was in his living room with a worried expression on his face. He just returned from the hospital after enduring the pain in his stomach to make Diana stop feeling bad all through the previous day and enjoyed one of their moments together as usual.

His mind drifted to how her body tensed and how she looks like she's possessed until she hit him and returned back to the girl he knew.

His main worries right now is the report he got about the girl that died at her work place. He suspected that it's related to why Diana is there and asked for more info on the company.

He got worried after getting to know that more deaths has occurred to the company newly employed workers.

…

Diana returned home a few hours later.

She made her way to Ethan's study and found him working on his laptop.

Ethan smiled immediately he spotted her, as he didn't bother closing the door.

She lazily pull of her heels and made her way to where he sat. "How was work today?" Ethan asked as he helped maintained a comfortable position on his lap.

Taking a deep breath on his scent; Diana heaved a sigh of relief. "Not good." she replied truthfully as she knew Ethan wouldn't pry.

"All will be fine." he said.

"Excuse me?" Sarah appeared with a tray on her hand.

"Come in." Ethan said.

Seeing the woman appeared with two cups of orange juice; Diana sighed. "That was too fast Sarah." she said.

Sarah smiled and passed one cup to each of them. Her smile deepened as they both down the content in one go.

This is the least she could do to stop feeling useless. Ever since Diana arrived; she barely do anything. It's either Ethan cooked for her or vice versa. If not that, both will cook together or eat out.

"Thank you!" Both said in unison and returned the cup to her. She took it from them and left.

"Where are we going today? I want to be close to you like this." Diana pouted.

"Cheesy." Ethan rolled his eyes.

"I'm serious, don't kid around."

"How serious? I don't seem to feel the seriousness."

Placing a kiss to his cheek, nose, forehead, "this serious." Diana replied smiling.

"What happened to this place? Is it so tiny that you're ignoring it now?" Ethan asked, pointing at his lips and pouted it.

"Shameless." Diana remarked and pecked his lips as well. "Cool?" she asked.

"You wouldn't ask if you're okay with a peck will you?" Ethan asked, raising his brow with a big grin on his face.

A blush crept out to the surface of Diana's cheeks, as she shamelessly reached for his lips and kissed him, which he responded to.

Pulling back, "care to tell me where we are going today?" she asked.

"Swimming?" Ethan asked raising his brow. There's a swimming pool in the villa. He didn't want to take her outside today as there's a death of a colleague at her work place.

"Great idea!" Diana exclaimed.

"Hmm hmm." Ethan cleared his throat.

Playing with the button of his shirt and blinking her eyes at him, "can you swim with only boxer today?" she asked.

"Miss pervert." Ethan called. They swam together two days ago and he could see how Diana nearly strip him of his swimming trunks with her eyes, which is why he cleared his throat earlier.

"I am a pervert, yes! promise to do it?" She replied shamelessly.

"Okay, promise."

"Yes!!"

"Tsk tsk. I want to see more skin too."

"You got it!!"

Ethan. "...."
