The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter 164
One thing was clear, she was very upset with Richard. She could no longer hide how angry she was. Beyond her anger, there was something else she felt about what he had done to her and that was disappointment. She was disappointed that despite the promises that they both made to each other concerning how they were going to run their relationship without secrets, he went ahead to keep a particular issue away from her. As she glanced up at him, she bit hard on her lips. “You can talk to me, My love” Richard urged her gently. He reached out and placed a hand on her right have which was closest to him. “Babe” “Yes, My love” Richard drew his seat closer to her. Elise fiddled with the hem of her shirt and said, “Do you think I am okay?” Richard shoke his head. “I would never think that. You have been unusually quiet ever since we sat at the table for breakfast” “What do you think could be the issue with me? Why do you think I’m not as lively as I should be?” Richard paused, hesitant.

For split second, Richard was scared that he had lost Elise. He did not know when he started tearing up front the thought of everything that could happen to him if Elise left him in the end. He had grown so attached to her that he did not see himself being with anyone else besides her. “I don’t have anything to say that will justify me” “Just let it out” Elise said, still sobbing. “I am not who you think I am” Richard blurted. He paused after talking because he wanted to observe her reaction to it before he would go on to tell her the rest of the things he had to say. Her facial expression was blank and he could not decipher what was running through her mind as she looked at him. “I’m ready” She said calmly. “Tell me about this part of you that I am not aware of” He let out a harsh breath and adjusted the lapels of his jacket. “Niko does not own the company” Richard said. “,The truth is that—” “You do?” Elise cut in, eying him with disbelief. Her voice had undertones of sarcasm

“I wonder what this is” She snickered “Hush!” He said dryly “You will definitely find out soon” “At least,” She said “Give me an hint” “It’s in your hands. Open up, pretty” She glared at him in mock annoyance before she returned her attention back to the package in front of her and she continued unwrapping it. When she finally saw what it was, an audible gasp escaped her throat and her eyes few wider in surprise. “A painting?” She asked in disbelief. Richard nodded. He was now amused by her reaction to what she had seen. “Who did this?” “Yours truly” He winked at her and tapped on his chest. “This is so nice” Elise said as she ran her fingers over the small, framed painting. Richard cleared his throat. “Why do I feel like you don’t believe me?” There was a glint of mischief in his eyes as he spoke. “I do!” “Okay?” He snapped his fingers with a chuckle and went on to explain to her how the painting in her hands were one of the best he had ever done. As he recounted with no

She stepped aside in shock and watched as he grabbed Richard’s hands in a cry of terror. It was Niko. He looked different from what he was usually like. His hair was messy and his shirt was rumbled as though he had hurriedly put it on. “It is finally happening” He panted. His forehead was beaded with sweat. As soon as Elise saw him, fear hit her like icy water. She was beyond alarmed. She gently locked the door behind her. Richard was calm. “What exactly is going on?” “Sly!” Niko said in ragged voice. He was almost at the point of crying. Richard got hint on the started of things and he carted Niko away to the couch. Elise, without a word, hurried into the kitchen to get a glass of water. Worry gnawed at her as she took out a cold bottle of water and poured it out into the glass cup. She tried to think of what could possibly make Niko so unsettled that he had to show up at their apartment that late in the night. By the time she was out, Niko was quiet. He sat with his hands f

As she busied herself at the counter, she noticed that the stranger was uneasy. She hadn’t missed the how his gaze kept darting to the door almost as often as hers did, as if he were waiting for someone or didn’t want to be taken by surprise. Maybe he was military intelligence or an undercover agent. She told herself. Immediately, that idea made her frown. The last thing she needed was military intelligence to show up on the island. She told herself not to let her imagination run wild. A lot of ex-military guys came to the island to relax and let off steam. Since the location had become a popular destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties, there was usually a good deal of action available for anyone who wanted to find it. But this man didn’t seem interested in escaping reality with alcohol or with women, so what was his story? He seemed very uninterested in his environment, only paying attention to the drink in his hands and the door across him. She yawned and clasped a

She cocked an eyebrow at him, still smiling. “Are you trying to figure it out?” She asked as sarcasm dripped in her voice. He nodded slowly. “I think I like you” He smiled as his tongue flittered on his lower lip. As his eyes ran over her face, she could almost swear that he had undressed her in his mind. She liked that. It made sense to her that he found her attractive. “Are you being serious here?” His head bobbed. “Somehow, I have a feeling that you’re just trying to pull my legs. Or, should I say, that you have a smooth way of dodging questions?” Sly cleared his throat and took a sip of the drink in his hands. “Who said that I answer to questions?” “I did” Hannah smiled at him. She was now mixing a drink for a customer who leant by the counter if the bar. “You have been answering my questions” “Well..” Sly paused and turned to glance at his friend who was seated at a distance away. There were several draped his body. With the way his eyes rolled in his head, it was obvi

She made for the entrance of the shed but Gaius was smart enough to intercept her. He placed his arms on her shoulders firmly. Gaius said, there was a look of expectations in his eyes as he locked then with hers. “Please, Hanna. I’ll make it up to you.” “ I don’t know. I really need the money from the extra hours.” Gaius threw a sharp glance at his wristwatch and his desperation grew “Come on, please? I’ll owe you one. All you have to do is make your price” He clasped his hand in front of her and silently hoped that she would give in. Hanna chuckled when she heard his plea. One thing that never ceases to amuse her only her coworker was now convincing he could be at work. It was not a new fact that Gaius’ sales skills were powerful enough to convince even the most stubborn customers at the bar to order drinks for themselves. She threw her hands up in the air, feeling more than surrendered “ Alright, fine. But just this once. “Yes!! You’re the best, Hanna. Thank you so much.” Ga

Elise groaned playfully. “Ugh, fine. Let me just grab my bag.”As they walked out of the apartment, they ran into Sophia, a woman who had never liked Elise. Sophia sneered at Elise and said, “Well, hello, Elise. I see you’re still wasting your time on that loser, Richard.”Elise took a deep breath, trying not to let Sophia’s words get to her. “Sophia, can we please just be civil?” she replied, her voice calm.Sophia laughed bitterly. “Oh, Elise. You’re always the same. Always pretending to be so nice and innocent. I know what kind of person you really are.”Richard stepped in front of Elise, his voice stern. “Sophia, leave us alone. We don’t have time for your negativity.”Sophia rolled her eyes before flouncing off, leaving Elise and Richard standing in the hallway.“That woman really knows how to push my buttons,” Elise muttered, her hands shaking slightly.Richard put his arm around her waist, pulling her close. “Don’t let her get to you, Elise. She’s not worth it.”Elise leaned in
