Natalya noticed my hesitation and smirked, her voice dripping with amusement. "Nobody enters my mansion," she said, "not even my personal bodyguards." Her tone was final, leaving no room for questions.
She turned to me, her eyes gleaming with something dangerous, something almost predatory. "But you are different, Viper." Her voice lowered, softer but no less commanding. "This is the first time I've seen someone like you—someone who kills so smoothly, so effortlessly..."
She paused, her gaze raking over me, lingering just a second too long. "Without even a drop of sweat, or a speck of blood on your clothes..." Her lips curved into a slow, dangerous smile. "You deserve special treatment."
She stepped closer, her voice dropping to a low, intimate purr. "You will be my exclusive secretary—responsible for my safety, and any other tasks I assign to you."
"Thank you, Boss," I replied, my voice steady and respectful, though my mind was already racing with the possibilities.
