When Love Comes Late
She held the bat in her hands as she swung it in a threatening motion, protecting the quiet figure behind her.
"This is your last warning. You'd better leave this person alone or have a taste of my beautiful baby here," she said, kissing the bat with a smirk.
"You should be scared, beauty. You should have left when we asked you to. Now you will pay the price," the leader of the gang said with a smile.
As the tension rose, the boys closed in, their threatening gestures and taunting words escalating.
Their presence loomed over her, threatening to shatter her sense of security.
Time seemed to slow, elongating every second and making the gravity of the situation more pronounced.
But to Juniper, it looked like child's play.
Without any warning, she swung the bat, hitting the leader in the head.
Blood gushed out, and he screamed in horror at the sight of his own blood.
"I warned you, didn't I?" she said, giving them a wicked smile.
The rest of the gang hesitated, realizing they had never planned to hurt anyone.
But upon encountering this fearless girl, they knew better than to mess with her and ran for their lives.
"I will get you, bitch! You guys attack her for me," the gang leader, realizing he was left alone, shouted as he saw everyone else vanish into thin air.
Then, he felt a breath on his cheek, making him quiver in fear.
He knew better than to make a sound.
"I don't care what grudge you have with these guys here," she said, pointing at the quiet guy behind her, who had yet to react.
"But you better leave if you don't want more blood coming out of your body," she threatened, her face fierce.
The gangster stood up and ran away as soon as she finished speaking.
He didn't even need to answer, knowing his life was at stake.
Juniper looked at the quiet guy and realized that despite everything that had happened, he showed no fear or expression on his face.
He seemed as though he hadn't been the one surrounded by those hooligans just minutes ago before she arrived.
"You don't need to worry about them anymore. You are free to go," she said, not waiting for a reply.
She picked up her book from the floor, smiled, and winked at him before leaving.
He silently stared at her retreating figure, his eyes captivated by her every move.
The tension from the encounter with the gangsters lingered in the air, yet an unexpected sense of excitement coursed through him.
***Seven years later...
Juniper stood in her office, holding her phone with a loving gaze as she stared at the photo displayed on it.
Today marked six years since she had been in a relationship with Cole, who became her fiancé just six months ago.
Mago, her assistant, promptly entered her office with an urgent look on her face.
"Miss, the investors from Singapore are here for the meeting," Mago said. Juniper put her phone down and stared at Mago.
"But I clearly remember telling you to send a message to them that we would be having the meeting tomorrow. So, why are they here now?" Mago stood there with trembling hands, knowing better than to annoy her boss.
Juniper's temper was well known, and experiencing it would make one wish they were dead.
"B... boss, I... I..." Mago stammered, struggling to find the right words.
