Amara Knew She Was Being Followed. One Bad Decision For Taking One Rough Job Was Beginning To Turn In

Amara knew she was being followed. One bad decision for taking one rough job was beginning to turn in to a lifestyle change and suddenly she found herself always looking over her shoulder.

She was still new at all of this. But she wasn't naieve, and knew right away that someone was watching. Rather than play innocent, or get violent, she turned around and confronted the person.

"What do you want?"

"Are you lost?"

They weren't supposed to be here. Ari had her security check the perimeter of the building twice and kept five men on guard outside to make sure they wouldn't be spotted -- when someone seemed to be waiting outside, rather than confronting with violence, because who else circles outside an abandoned field building at night, she decided to confront them in person.

Ari kept her hands in her pocket as she looked at them, her smile not really a happy or pleasant one, though it might've convinced someone it was seemingly friendly. After all, if this person really had gotten lost, she wasn't cruel. She'd just direct them in to a different direction.

"I can call you a ride if you need one," she offered. "Otherwise, I can't let you stay around here. Got a business meeting going on back there."

She'd given thought to running off, but never really considered actually doing it. There was no way Ari could get far -- and if there was a time when she wanted to walk away from it all, the love her family held for her, they'd ultimately let her walk away. Problem was, the longer she worked more in the gang, the more she was beginning to like it.

Ari grinned. "No," she answered, her hand flicking over the button to control the window and lowering it all the way so the wind whipped inside the car. Her hair started whipping around her head, the woman peeking out in to the city without a care how it would mess up the look she'd set to. "But if there was ever a time when you wanted to disappear quietly, I could help you. I have...some friends. They're real good about cleaning behind their tracks, too."

"What is that? Is it something for me?"

"I need this job. If you're looking for a temporary assistant, I'm perfect! I have plenty of experience, and my boss is out of the country for the year -- I'm yours until then!"

It wasn't professional and Hana knew it, but she was getting desperate. How was she supposed to know her boss would leave so suddenly? Hana couldn't even blame her considering what her family was going through, and was sure Seoyun had other things on her mind than her assistant.

But what else would pay her bills and what else was she trained to do?

"At least give me a week. If you hate me, then send me away."
