His Undercover Secretary

CHAPTER 7 - GUNSHOTS

Sophia POV

The car stopped at some unused port. One of the men drags me out harshly from the vehicle. My hands were tied to the back. I saw Mr.Thompson came towards me with a sly smile on his face. “Ms.Page… What a coincidence! We meet again!” he took out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at me. “Mr.Thompson… What are you doing?!” I gathered courage and talked back to him. “Such a pity! You shouldn’t be eavesdropping on my phone call earlier!” He still pointed the gun at me. When suddenly, one of his men was attacked from behind. It was Mason! He fights a few men by himself. Just when he gives a man in a black T-Shirt a punch in the face, suddenly Mason was attacked from behind by another man. He was falling to the ground, and the other man took that chance to tied him up. Both of us are tied, and Mr.Thompson laughs triumphantly.

“Look at this view! The mighty Mason Prince now bow down on his knees in front of me,” Mr.Thompson said cynically while grabbing Mason's hair, making Mason facing him. “Let go of Kate! You can kill me if you want!” Mason said bravely at him. He burst out laughing, “ Really? Is that what you want?! To meet my Trisha in heaven? But, I’m supposed you’re not going there since you’ll be going to hell.” Mason was shocked for a moment. “Trisha Thompson, is your daughter?” Mason asked as if he couldn’t believe what Mr.Thompson just said. “You broke her heart and rejected her…After a one-night stand! You fuc*ing basta*d!” Mr. Thompson punches Mason's face until he fell down to the ground again. I know that Mason had many women in LA lining up for him, but I never thought that Mason could be that heartless.

“Trisha… I never slept with her!” Mason slowly replied. I saw blood coming out from the corner of his lips. Mr. Thompson is getting angrier. “You’re lying! Trisha’s pregnant…and when I told her to do an abortion, she killed herself.”

Mason looked at him scornfully, “It was your fault! Trisha had another lover that you disapproved of! So she lied and told you that I was her boyfriend. She begged me to play along with her… since I was a better option than her real boyfriend.” He explained coherently. I rolled back eyes. How on earth does this man still able to be cocky in this situation? But on the other hand, I was relieved to find out the truth. Otherwise, it would change my opinion about Mason. I saw Mr.Thompson’s expression like he was weighing something inside. Then he pointed the gun at me and pulled the trigger. “NOO!?!!” Just before the bullet gets to me, Mason drags his body in front of me, and its shots directly into his shoulder. “MASONN!?!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. Suddenly I heard police sirene and few cops coming pointing gun at them. “Freeze! Drop your gun!” Mr.Thompson finally put his gun down, and the police handcuffed him.

“CALL AMBULANCE!!?!!” I screamed for help. “Mason, stay with me!” I put my hands on his face, “That’s the least I can do for my employee, Kate…” he smiled at me then passed out. I stay beside him at the ambulance while holding one of his hands. The surgery went on for hours, I was still waiting outside impatiently. He was still unconscious after the surgery. He had a purplish bruise on his left cheek, and his left shoulder was still in a bandage. “Mason, you can’t leave now! Please wake up.” He still won’t move a finger. “You can’t die! I need you!” I screamed like a mad person. 

Suddenly I felt a soft pat on my head. I raise my face and saw Mason already sober. His face still looked pale. “Mason, you’re awake!” I was amazed to see him sober. “Your voice loud enough to awaken dead people.” He joked at me. “Maybe I should take back my words earlier.” I pouted my lips and helped him to sit in the bed. He scrunched his face a little when the injured shoulder came in contact with the headboard. “Is it hurt? Do you want me to call the doctor?” I asked him. “I’m fine, Kate. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” he asked back. “A little scratch won’t kill me.” I pointed at the bandage on my right temple. “Kate, could you help me to lay back again? This is uncomfortable.” He was struggling, and I quickly helped him to lie back down. At first, I didn’t realize that our face was so closed. We stay in that position for a while. Looking into each other eyes.

He snaked one of his hands on my neck. “Mr.Prince, what are you doing?” His green eyes were full of affection. “What I want to do since the first time I saw you.” he then pulls me gently and closed his lips to mine. My eyes widened in shock. I took this chance to kissed him back with the same passion. After all, my intention is to seduce him. Suddenly he pushed me away. “Kate, you should leave!” He said coldly. This man really had issues! “Why you do this to me? You had tormented me bad enough! Now you play games with me.” I snarled at him. “Dating, it’s not my thing. You can leave now, Ms. Page.” How could he change 180 degrees in a split second? I was a fool to think this is going to be this easy. “Good night, Mr.Prince.” I turned around and slammed the door closed behind me. Does he think he can play around with me? We'll see about that, Mason.
