Genius Girl

Chapter 7 - 7: What the hell! (Revised)

After spending two days at Evan's house, Daniella decided to go back to her apartment and, get her clothes. Evan offered to accompany her but, she refused as she doesn't want him to see the guns and, the grenades she had in her apartment.

Evan gave her a week to settle all her previous appointment, and after that, the contract will starts.

The last two days were quiet - in her opinion. Her friends did not even call her to ask if she's still alive. She spoke with Selena, and the girl requested her to be her tutor which she didn't refuse.

Daniella was on the limousine Evan had prepared for her. A man in his forties drives her back to her apartment. She thought Evan brought her to an Island but, she later found out that it was connected to the city by a small bridge.

A shaky sigh let out from her lips. She thought of Selena's mother. If it's not for her, she would have refused Evan's offer.

Kierry was the sweetest person she met, which made her wonder why Selena had those crazy attitudes. The girl was lazy. In the morning, she would use the intercom to ask the maid to lift her off the bed. At night, she would ask them to put a cream on her face, something a normal person wouldn't do.

When the car stopped in front of the building of her apartment, Daniela got down and said her gratitude to the driver.

She entered the building at a slow pace. The young receptionist who has been working since she moved in greeted her with a candy smile on his lips.

'Good Morning Ms. Chen.'

She waved a hand and mirrored his smile. She was living on the ground floor. The building has three floors. She decided to take the room at the ground since it has a garden, something she wants to have after living in a small apartment in London for years.

After she pinned the key into the keyhole, she pushed the door opened. Her eyes roamed around her room, she hasn't been home for weeks, running around, planning the assassination, a failed assassination.

She blew a sigh and dropped her body onto the couch. Feeling suffocated by her bra, her hand reached for its lock and unhitched it.

She tossed the bra in the air, and it landed on the dusty dining table.

Her one-bedroom apartment was small. The bedroom door was next to the toilet door, while her circular dining table was a few meters away from the couch.

Her apartment doesn't have much furniture. She had an L-shaped couch which could fit five people if they just squeezed like sardines. Her two seater dining table was next to the kitchen sink. A glass door leading to the garden was opposite to her bedroom's door. All the windows in her apartment were large, so in the morning, her apartment was always bright.

She looked around her apartment. She saw the pregnant spider in the corner of her house had just delivered its babies. Her apartment had an unpleasant smell, causing her to get up and open the balcony.

As soon as the wind entered her house, Daniella sniffed its cold air. She placed both hands on her h.i.p.s and murmured, 'I will clean tomorrow,' then she took the spider from the corner and put it on the grass in her garden.

She then walked towards her refrigerator. She didn't turn it off when she left so it's still running. She opened it and grabbed one of the bottled water. As she twisted the cup opened, her phone rang.

She looked at its screen and saw Evan's number calling her.

After the phone lay on her ear, her lips curve up.

'Missed me already?' she teasingly said. But her smile disappeared as soon as she heard him chuckling.

Her jaw gnashed with irritation. Her friends marked as the queen of flirting. Every people she spoke, either a man or a woman, as soon as her tongue moved to compliment them, they would be stunned and speechless. But the man on the other line seems to be immuned by her charm.

After his husky laugh, Evan replied, 'Yes.'

And that was enough to make her speechless.

'Are you there?' she heard him asking.

Daniella looked at her phone and, gestured to throw it in the garbage. In the last two days, she tried reading him, she could read the people's mind in the villa but, not Evan. There is something about his eyes, something that's blocking her way from getting into his mind.

'Yes, I am here. I have to meet with my soon to be ex-boyfriend. So, Mr. Su, I have to go," she flatly said.

'Ok. Selena was asking for you.'

'Tell her I will be back in a week,' as she said those words, her feet walked towards her bedroom. She took her laptop from the table and turned it on.

'Is that all Mr. Su?' she asked. Her shoulder was lifted a little to hold her phone while her fingers were busy tapping on the keyboard of her laptop.

It took her seconds to log into the government server and get all the information she needed. Evan was telling her something but, her mind was too focused on reading his information.

She smirked, while her head shook with disbelief. She thought Robert was right about Evan changing girlfriends but, seeing his bank payment history the man didn't spend a cent to buy expensive gifts to anyone.

In the background, the youtube was opened playing the song 'heartbreaker.'

She scrolled more to check if he used his card to pay for a restaurant but, there was not even a single transaction.

(Does he let his women pay for everything?) she scoffed and quarrel with her thought.

'Nah! Impossible!" she absently blurted, forgetting that Evan was still on the phone.

'What impossible?'

Daniella was stunned for a moment, then she plucked her lips as her brain started to work.

And her usual – flirting brain processed and, her lips parted to say, 'It's not impossible to get you,' then she let out a charming smile.

But, the smile on her lips gradually disappears when she heard the line disconnecting.

She rose an eyebrow. Her mind exploded when he suddenly hung up on her.

'What the hell!'

'Why did hung up?'

In the other side. Evan was sitting at his desk when his phone shuts. He stared at it but, his mind was thinking of Daniella. Her bold words repeatedly played in his mind like a broken cassette.

He sighed and, leaned his back against his chair. Daniella has a way to drain his patience. The last two days she spent in the Villa was something he did not expect.

The woman chatted with everyone in the house, though she was helpful and always had a bright smile on her lips. In the past two days, the villa suddenly became loud, he could hear Daniella's shout from his room, mostly about Selena.

All the figurines and vases in the villa were shattered after Daniella tossed it on the wall. She was like a caveman first time in the city, she kept inspecting his house, and weirdly stared at his employee.

And now that she's gone, the villa felt empty. While eating his lunch with Selena earlier, the table was peaceful. No one was shouting at Selena, ordering her to eat all the vegetable or laugh when Kirby is blushing.

He took the charger from his drawer and, charged his phone. When he tried to call her number, it was no longer in reach.

He sighed as he remembered her last words.

'How could say that straight?' his head shook nonchalantly. Wondering if Daniella's sweet tongue was the reason why he received three pages of paper with her boyfriends name.
