Uno Point of View

"What are you looking at, Alarming?" I danced my way towards the petrified Alarming.

She seems like she's in some kind of trance; a bit thoughtful, a bit enlightened and a bit confused as well.

The thing is, all those emotions are flowing on her beautiful face when she is staring at me.

And this particular look of hers alerted me a little.

With a casual and flirty smile, I gave her a bunch of some really good-looking flowers and waited for her to take them.

She made no movement and kept on staring at me, which made me a little more vigilant.

I know, for one, that this woman standing before me is quite perspective and observant. Obviously, she has been ruling the whole family business empire for more than a decade now, it is given that she is sharp-eyed.

Just that, I don't know what is running on in her mind. For me, who is very meticulous in reading other's minds, unable to read hers for the first time.

She has always been either patient with me or really angry at me and I was able to easily detect her emotions earlier. However, now, I'm suddenly unable to figure our the thoughts running through her mind.

"I finally cracked the password of the first ever project file you sent me." She spoke.

Ah right, since after three wrong attempts, the file will self-destruct from the system, I had to send her the same file for about fourteen times and she could only crack the password now.

"You finally did? Amazing as always. How about we celebrate this great feat with a couple dance?" I twirled around and offered her my hand.

She did not take it and only glared at me like a wild tigress ready to bite a piece of meat from its prey.

Okay, why is Alarming looking at me like that?

I surely know that something strange is going on in her mind about me and something tells me that it is not good for me.

"Yeah, 'Cherry blossoms' represents me; how?" She asked with a bit of curiosity.

"Of course, your eyes." Isn't it quite obvious though?

Her eyes, my God, her eyes look like a wide open and blooming cherry blossom flowers that's hanging by the small beautiful twigs.

Simply, so fragrant to look at.

I expected her to lash at me or glare at me but she just continued to scan me from head to toe and left leaving a scoff behind for me to collect.

Nah nah nah, something is definitely different about her.

I immediately walked into my own tent looking for Buzz and the moment I entered, I heard him whistle at me with a kind of mischievous teasing look on his face.

"Didn't you say she is just a partner at work? Look at you now, flirting with her and comparing poetry with her beauty. I didn't know that the all-time serious and frowning De – Uno Mayhem will even have such a day."

"Shut your noisy hole up and focus on the work at hand." I grumbled at him. "Don't you think she is looking at me a little suspiciously earlier?" A minute later, I asked Buzz in a small tone.

Buzz, who is working on tracking down the source of weather app manipulation, paused typing for a bit and glanced at me before nodding his head.

"I don't think so, I'm sure she smelled something. I cannot tell what it is but she does seem to look at us with suspicion even now and then; mainly at you." I knew it. Buzz detected it too.

"Do you think she realized something?" I asked again. I just don't want to make it difficult between us.

I don't want our friendship to be ruined because of her suspicions.

"I think you should focus on something more important than worrying at your little crush's doubts on you."

"Crush? Hove you gone mad? Who is my crush?" I clipped gravely, almost close to give him a scrumptious punch on his face.

"If not your crush, what are getting so defensive about. Anyone can tell from a single look what is going on in your heart." Buzz snickered, enjoying the predicament to his fullest.

She is not my crush.

She is just my friend. A friend; period!

Chanting it for few more times in my mind, I gruntingly went to look at the progress of finding the app hacker.

"Look at this, such a smart pig he is, it shows that the location of the hacker is in the middle of Amazon Forest." For us to have such a hard time to track the hacker's original location, it is clear that the person on the other side has tremendous skills.

Buzz smirked at me and vacated his chair for me take it. I sat down and stretched my hands before starting to show my own skills.

After typing for seven minutes, the original location finally popped up on the screen. I immediately took the screen shot of it, along with the link, I sent it to my people and left the rest for them to deal with.

"I had always been the one who topped computer science classes back then and you would always get third or fourth place. Look at us now, you are a better hacker than I am. Why did you even hide your skills back then?" Although he was joking, I could still find the hint of envy in his tone.

I shrugged and did not explain myself because every time I best him in computer skills, he would ask the same thing again and again and I would tell him the reason again and again. After a while, I stopped replying anymore.

"Keep an eye on people here and make sure none gets out of this place with or without any reason. When and if the disaster really strikes, I want everyone, especially that person to be here and be a part of it. Have our people camouflage around the camping grounds and stay alert." I ordered and Buzz immediately got down to the task.

Soon there's a small commotion heard from outside. I looked at myself in the mirror and after making myself look beautiful and flawless, I walked leisurely to the campfire place where the commotion is.

"Are you really fine, Mr. Jenson? Why don't you leave for the city?" I heard Alarming say in a concerned tone.

I walked through the crowd and looked at Mr. Jenson who is coughing, looking as if he caught severe cold. Watching a great charade playing in front of me, I couldn't help myself from smirking.

What great actors do we have in Allard Corporation!

Forget about Mr. Jenson who is not feeling well and Mr. Bane who is worried about Jenson's health as he is supporting the old man by holding his arm, just look at Illaria Allard!

Such concern and such empathy for the directors of her company!

If I were not discerning enough, I would've thought she is really being worried for her people. With how she is acting, one thing is clear.

She is of same mind as me.

"Mr. Jenson, you are already seventy, with high blood pressure and diabetes, it's not good for you to be ill and go untreated for a long time. Mr. Bane is right, you should go to the town nearby and visit a better hospital." Turning towards Mr. Bane, "Mr. Bane, why don't you and Mr. Yarwood support him to the town nearby?"

My mouth twitched when I saw her insisting that Mr. Jenson should visit a doctor. I wonder how she is planning to stop them from getting out of camping grounds by insisting them on visiting the town nearby.

I could only patiently wait for the play to unfold slowly before me. And my God, what an entertaining show it is.

I only saw Illaria Gaia Allard as a responsible, astute and a clever businesswoman. However, the art of acting she is displaying right now is commendable.

"No, it's just cold, Ms. Allard. I'll be fine before you even know it. Let's not make a mountain of something so small." Mr. Jenson waved his hand casually, however did not leave the place decisively, still obviously waiting for her to convince him a little more.

"In that case, alright. I have medicine for cold with me and a few supplements as well. I will send them and you have to take them dutifully, Mr. Jenson. You are like a backbone to our company and I cannot have you falling sick here." The sudden change in Illaria shocked Mr. Jenson.

Normally, Alarming should be insisting a little more but seeing how she agreed reluctantly to Mr. Jenson's request, he and his companion were both surprised and shocked.

"Alright then, Mr. Yarwood, make sure you keep a report on Mr. Jenson's health conditions every two hours and update me frequently." Mr. Yarwood nodded.

"It's better to stay here. I just got a text from my friend who lives in the nearby town that there's a torrential rain on the way from camping grounds to the town." Mr. Yarwood informed right in time and Alarming gasped in surprised in freaking appropriate moment.

"Really? Goodness. It's good Mr. Jenson insisted on staying. Everyone, let's not leave the camping grounds for now without informing." Alarming clapped her hands to get their attention and announced to which everyone – almost everyone nodded in agreement.

What a acting cat!

She sure knows how to get things done without keeping even a speck of blame on herself!

I thoroughly enjoyed the show and was about to turn back to get to my tent when I saw a fleeting knowing look flash in Alarming's eyes when she momentarily glanced at me.

Uh huh!

Looks like she is a bit too clever than I imagined!
