Top Assassins Call Me The Lady Boss novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: “Don’t tell me you have fallen for me.”

Chapter Seventy-Eight

She shot a quick glance at Asli, trying to ease the tension that had suddenly thickened in the air. Asli’s outburst wasn’t something she was expecting tonight— not after teasing her so annoyingly.

Matilda sighed inwardly, silently hoping she wouldn’t have to deal with one of Asli’s storms. Not now. Not today.

When Asli had arrived home earlier, her mood had been unmistakably foul, like a storm cloud hanging over her.

But something had shifted after seeing Demir. Even though Markus was beside her when she returned.

The tension in her shoulders had eased, and the grumpiness that usually lingered around her had vanished.

Matilda couldn’t help but notice the change and, with a glimmer of hope, she figured she could use the shift to her advantage. So she went ahead to tease her with Demir.

Unfortunately, she had disobeyed one of her directives and she couldn’t believe Cole had reported her.

Just when she thought maybe tonight wasn’t going to be so bad after all.

Asli’s eyes narrowed and her voice sharp. "You mean to tell me he did not bring you home after school?" Her words hung in the air, and then a fleeting thought crossed her mind.

’Oops... did she not know?’ Her gaze flickered briefly, realizing the misstep. Had she reported her own self?

Asli’s fingers moved quickly, pulling her phone from her pocket as she dialed Cole’s number. She tapped her foot, the seconds dragging as she waited for him to pick up.

Her impatience grew, her eyes flickering between the screen and Matilda, who now seemed to be caught in her foolishness for talking too much.

When the call finally connected, Asli didn’t waste any time. "Get to my suite this instant!"

"You can clearly notice she wanted to be alone from school. She’s not a prisoner to be escorted." Markus tried to intervene but knew the look in her eyes too well. Matilda was in trouble and nobody could save her.

Asli brushed angrily into the hall and as if on a speed dial, Cole came darting into the room right after they entered. He bowed slightly as he entered, greeting them.

Asli snapped, her voice tight with frustration. "I told you to make sure she was taken to school and brought back home... every day. If you were on the shift that was taking their days off, why didn’t you assign another person to ta..."

"Sorry, Boss. She told me she was going to be at the library till evening. I ... I didn’t know she was lying." Cole interjected, his voice sincere but tense.

"Matilda!" Asli’s gaze shot back to Matilda, her tone a low growl.

"You heard Markus, I’m not a prisoner." She defended herself.

Asli’s glare sharpened, and she pointed toward Markus. "And do you think he has said anything sensible since I met him?" she spat, her finger jabbing in his direction.

"Ouch. Asli," Markus exaggerated, wincing as if her words had physically hurt him, though the smile tugging at his lips betrayed the act.
