Hi!!! Are you still doing the prompt thing? May I request #155 or #175 with hui? 💕
155: “ It isn’t what it looks like! Okay.. Maybe it is… ”
-
‘Stay on track with the mission. Get in, do what we need to do, and get out.’
Even though Hui’s words rang on your head, you decided to carry on with your little self-made side quest anyway. You knew it was greedy to track down the safe for this mafia boss, but you knew all the money you’d find would be well worth it. And you were so close to opening the safe...
“_____!” Hui barked.
You froze, slowly turning your head to look in the doorway where he’d appeared.
Hui didn’t normally complain about being put on what everybody else in your squad called “babysitting duty”. Even though you were the newest addition to the odd gang of con artists (”Can we call ourselves spies instead? Ooh, or ninjas! It’s cooler.” “E’Dawn, ninjas are supposed to be quiet.”) Hui didn’t find that you slowed the group down in any way. Your only issue was getting too greedy and coming very close to getting caught. Like right now.
“It isn’t what it looks like!” you insisted, putting both of your hands in the air.
Hui only quirked a brow, crossing his arms over his chest.
You sighed, “Okay... Maybe it is...”
“We took out their guards, so the boss is going to be here soon,” he reminded you. “We don’t have time for this. If we don’t meet up with the others on time, all of our asses will be in trouble.”
“But think of the money, Hui!”
“_____,” his voice was stern, his eyes narrowed.
“Fine,” you groaned, getting up from your position and jogging over to Hui so the two of you could make your getaway and meet up with the rest of the group that was in the building. “By the way, I got this before you had to come and ruin my fun.”
You tossed him a large stack of bills that you’d found in the top drawer of the boss’s desk after picking the lock. Hui definitely looked impressed with you as you flashed him a smile.
He chuckled, shaking his head, “What am I gonna do with you?”
