　　A hoarse whisper that was warred with annoyance and anger managed the pull me away from my thoughts. My furrowed brows relaxed and I had to blink copiously before I shifted my gaze towards Mark's peeved expression. He had a lopsided-smile, but the corner of his mouth that was pulled up was twitching as if he was suppressing his anger. His eyes were closed, smiling; but they didn't hold any warmth.

　　And a vein was pumping aggressively at his temple.

　　I let out an awkward cough and turned my head away from Mark's face as I said in denial "I wasn't ogling at him."

　　"Oh really~?" He asked skeptical as he drew out the "y" before snapping his gaze towards Snake. "Is that true?" He queried.

　　"Her heated gaze almost created a crater in my head, Mr. Moore." Snake reported stoically.

　　My mouth went agape and my eyes went wide in shock. Traitor!

　　"Is that so?" Mark asked in a high tone voice. The cracking sound that came from Mark's neck as he slowly craned to look at me again made the muscle in my leg clamp up and my shoulders stiffen up. I didn't meet his vicious eyes and only threw a glare at Snake as I bit down on my bottom lip.

　　Snake caught that and shrugs his shoulder nonchalantly. "I didn't want to die yet Ms. Westwood."

　　I narrowed my eyes at him accusingly and then twirled around to look Mark straight in the eyes with a wobbly smile. "I didn't ogle at him I looked at the road he was just in my view." A lie.

　　"Ah, is that so?" He sang.

　　I vehemently nodded my head.

　　Mark's smile then spread into a mischievous one. "Then you must have also noticed that we have arrived at work, right?"

　　I nodded frequently. "Yes, yes I have noticed that we have arrived at work- hmm?" I blinked copiously as I finally understood what he just said and glanced out of the window next to us to see a flock of people scrambling in to the tall building. There were some other clique of employees that were standing outside the building. Some chatting up with their friends with suitcases in their hands, some taking a smoke and the other part were standing in wait for the people inside the expensive looking car with tinted windows to come out. Some of those people were my colleagues.

　　And I am sitting inside of that expensive car. I am still sitting on Mark's lap inside that expensive car.

　　"Oh God." I peeped terrified. I placed my hands promptly under the headrest of Snake and leaned forward so that my lips would get closer to his ear; feeling the resistance of Mark's arm on my lower belly. "Say, Snake" I tittered. "how about you drive a little bit further down the street and go around the corner." I suggested, my voice shaking with nerves.

　　'Please don't let me go through this humiliation! Don't let them see me like this!' I whined inwardly sending the message to Snake with my eyes.

　　But not only was my plea ignored I felt a force being exerted on my waist basically catapulting me back against Mark's Chest.

　　"No, no, no, kitten" Mark tutted, his eyes twinkling with mischievous. "let's enjoy our love parade." His smile was coated with a devilish glint, leaving me teary-eyed quivering on his lap.

　　"N-No." I stammered, shaking my head vehemently.

　　"Yes~." Mark sang, nodding his head promptly with an eerily smile.

　　Gnashing down on my bottom lip I glowered at him from beneath my eyelashes. Screaming my frustrations inwardly

　　'You devil!'
