Chapter 225 Hey baby
"Have you lost your damn mind?" Esong was shoved in the shoulder by a large menacing man, who wore a very expressive scowl on his face.
"One more time," Esong said in a calm but deadly voice which promised grave consequences. "Touch me one more time general Sang and this will become an entirely different scenario."
General Sang who was dressed in a red and black uniform breathed furiously, and he heaved heavily unnecessarily, he was extremely angry, it seemed. "You exposed the details of a mission that is not supposed to be shared with the people on national television just so that_"
"Oh shut up you pompous asshole, it was not your mission, it was mine. I didn't see you stepping up when the emperor asked three of us to take on the mission of studying the Xenoan princess, in fact, you shriveled away like a dysfunctional cock!!"
"Huh!" An officer who had just entered Esong's private office at the mecha warriors association gasped.
Both men turned to look at the officer who had entered uninvited into the office and managed to overhear a private conversation.
"I_I, I," he stammered.
Ignoring the officer, General Sang glared at Esong, his face was red with fury and his eyes bulged so much that they gave off the appearance of almost popping out through the sockets. "One of these days you will push your authority too far and I will happily step in to discipline you."
"I think you forget that I outrank you general Sang, I am a seven star general while you are an ordinary major general. If anyone is going to discipline the other between us, I will be the one doing it. Get out of my office Sang."
It was well known that was no love lost between major general Sang and general Esong. Sang was older and he found it very shameful and infuriating that he had to take orders from someone many years his junior. Sang was also a commoner that resented Esong's noble and royal status, often, he was overheard claiming that Esong was only in his position because of his close relationship with the emperor. But only fools would believe that since Esong had proven his skills on the field in a fight and in leadership with the excellence of his men. Sang was jealous, simple and easy.
As general Sang stormed out of Esong's office, the officer came closer and handed him a new terminal bracelet. "It's a replacement for the one which was damaged in the crush general, you have a call." He said.
The officer handed the new terminal off and rushed out of the office.
Esong realized that his wife was calling and he answered the call quickly, and Scarlet appeared before his eyes in a hologram. He could not explain the sense of relief which washed over his body just by simply glancing at her face. A face, which he had missed so much. She looked as beautiful as always, her grey eyes held that usual stubbornness which he had come to miss and her lips had formed that pout which often meant, he had done something to apologize for.
"Hey baby." He leaned back in the comfortable rotating office chair which she had given to him and he twisted his body slowly, making the chair move from side to side slowly.
His voice was soft and deep, seductive as always which made Scarlet melt inside like a bunch of gooey soft marshmallows over a fire.
"Don't give in so easily," Her inner voice said and she shook her head and impishly eyed him, adding a "humph."
"You look amazing." He said.
She rolled her eyes and again, said, "humph."
"I am so sorry, I don't know how to explain the events of the past few weeks myself because I don't understand them." He said, looking at her with all the genuineness he could muster into his eyes. "Please believe me, I would never disappear like that without word to you or Justin, not anymore, especially not if I am in my right senses."
Even though he did not know what happened, she did, quite well but she could not exactly explain it to him either. So, she played pretend, giving off the appearance of an aggrieved wife.
But first, there was one thing to get out of the way, "Are you injured? How bad was the accident? The news said that you were bleeding profusely from an injury."
"I am fine, it was just a minor cut on the arm, Hachiko is fine too, we all made it out safely." He smiled slightly, very happy to see that she was worried about him. This probably meant that they could salvage anything.
After establishing the excellent status of his body, she moved on to other important things, "I waited by the phone Esong, for more than a month. What happened? Why did I have to endure so many pitiful looks, gossip and slander online? What exactly were you seeking to find out from princess floozy that you allowed her to hold your arm in public. Our son saw that!!! I am sure that he also saw people saying that she would be your new wife on star net. Why didn't you leave this kind of mission to someone else?"
It was important for him to know and understand that his actions often affected Justin in good and bad ways. Was he the only person in the empire that could deal with floozy?
"I am sorry baby, really sorry. I will talk to Justin and explain everything. It was supposed to be a simple one week long assignment, I would try to get access to her mind and poke around. But, her mind shields were always up and every time her personal maid came close to me I would feel dizzy and weird, I started suspecting that they were in possession of an unknown drug so the one week of observation was extended to a month. Honestly, everything that happened in between that time period is kind of woozy, especially the things related to her. I don't know what to say, frankly, all I want is nothing to do with that princess anymore, she even dared to hit on me, she asked me to be her sixth husband!!!! There is something wrong with that princess and I have a feeling that she was here with ill intentions. I have handed her off to the department of foreign affairs and they can decide what to do with her because all I know is that if she remains within my breathing orbit I will snap her neck." He did not skimp on the details, explaining all that happened clearly and additionally drawing a line between himself and the princess so neatly, which she appreciated greatly. Most of the gaps and dots had been connected.
"Did she touch you anywhere else?"
