Uno Point of View

"Is it raining inside the building?" Buzz mumbled loudly as he walked around me, looking at my fully drenched self.

Then he suddenly closed in and sniffed and backed off so hurriedly that it led him to fall back on his butt.

"My God! Are you currently involved in new hobby?" I gave him a frustrated glare and kicked his leg.

"What hobby?" I asked as sniffed myself.

Uh, it doesn't smell so bad, does it?

"Collecting sweats of other people and showering with it."

"What?" The hell is he spouting about?

"Smell yourself first. Why are you reeking of fermented and marinated hybridized sweat?" Buzz quickly got up, open the windows of my office and sprayed a bottle of air freshener everywhere in the room.

"It's not that bad, is it? Don't exaggerate." I smelled myself again but maybe because I was smelling myself from a long time now and my nose is used to it, I found myself not terribly stinking.

"Go and shower first. I cannot bear this foul odor anymore." He pushed me into the bathroom and hanged fresh clothes on the rack himself fearing I would touch them with my impure hands and ran hot shower for me.

Having no other way; also, because I'm a neat freak myself, I took a half an hour-long shower, scrubbing myself for three times with aroma oils, normal soap and herbal body wash that I always carry with me everywhere.

The herbal body wash is something that is created by my aunt, Tiny's mother, as she is second to none when it comes to cosmetology and herbal treatments.

Our whole family only uses her creations and that is the reason we have such great skin, amazing hair and astounding beauty.

After such great steaming bath, the moment I walked out, my whole office room is filled with steam caused by aroma humidifiers in every corner.

Now, now, Buzz is doing it a little too much!

"Are you done yet? Why are you being a busy body suddenly?" Complaining loudly, I trotted to my chair behind the table and plopped on it to relax a bit.

My body and mind are too exhausted.

"Busy body? Do you have any idea what happened because of you?" I raised a brow, waiting for him to continue. "The trip from Ms. Allard's office to your office which is just a minute walk and few seconds of elevator ride caused people who passed by you pass out due to the foul smell coming from your body. Thirteen people, they were immediately sent to the hospital and everyone is waiting for the doctor results."

That can't be true!

"What exactly was on you earlier? Who poured smelly water on you that you did not even realize your own smell?"

"No one did anything to me. I was in Illaria's office to give her the report." I said and explained briefly what happened earlier.

"So you sweated so much in anxiety that you literally peed from every cell of you of your body and sent thirteen people to hospital?"

"What can I do? This is the first time my cover was almost blown up by someone. I've been working in the intelligence department of the nation for nearly twelve years now and had taken several identities to go undercover. This is the first time I've been doubted." I rambled out my frustration.

I'm irritated because one, there's someone who is suspicious of my identity and two, the person is suspicious is the woman I kind of expect a future with.

The look of disappointment in her eyes that she thought she hid it well pierced my heart.

"Buzz – no – Ural, do you think she suspects something? I can tell she knows something." For the first time in my life, my voice shook a little while talking.

"No." Buzz shook his head negatively; I was about to feel relieved when he said something that knocked me off. "She doesn't suspect it. She knows it. She, for sure, knows your identity."

"Just think, the woman who hates you, so graciously invited you specially to her brother's engagement party, that too with a smile. The one who has always been very good to Devon is now glaring at him. Can't you think of the reason? Ms. Allard is the backbone of Allard empire who took the empire to heights under her management. Do you think she will not notice your abnormalities?"

She will.

But didn't I act completely out of my original personality?

How can one connect Devon Almond to Uno Mayhem?

Not only Uno's personality is especially designed in an annoying way, my face was a little changed artificially for convenience's sake so that no one can recognize my real face.

Of all the times, out of everyone, how did she recognize me?

I still wonder what was the revelation point!

As far as I know and remember, I was always careful even to the minute details. Then what made my cat out of the bag?

"When do you think she realized?" I sat alertly and moved forward with a hint of nervousness as I asked his opinion.

I still can't believe she broke my secret so easily.

"My boy, among both of us, who is more perspective and cleverer? I use my smarts in disguising you and moving my hands on keyboard while you, are the strategist and invisible eyes of the whole organization. Don't you think you are asking me something out of syllabus?" How am I even friends with him?

Can't he just share his thoughts and opinions with me? I'm not even asking a conclusion; his brain is not worth it.

"Asking a man who always gone through his whole education life with just pass marks! Since you asked me, I will anyhow share my views with you." Buzz suddenly changed his words.

See, this is how he is. First, he reprimands people and then suddenly goes along very happily. Sometimes, I cannot understand him more than how much I cannot understand a few of my cousins.

Seeing my angry glare, he gulped down loudly and produced a smile before sharing his remarks on the issue.

"I think she must've known about it right before her brother's engagement and that must be the reason, she gave you the invite card to test you." He whispered in a gossipy tone.

Umm, no, I don't think so. She surely knows about it far before and has been testing me all the while. Sending me a invite for the engagement party was more of a retaliation than a test.

But then again... I reeled my mind over every moment of my life spent as Uno Mayhem until now. Uno Mayhem's face and profile are on the internet to fend off those sneaky creatures who has habit of checking everyone's background.

My personality as Uno Mayhem is made weird and an attention-seeking person is for a reason. Devon Almond is a calm and an aloof man while Uno Mayhem is not just opposite but completely out of the planet.

To connect both of us as one, I should've made a slip somewhere.

"Is there any strange movements from SkyGod people?" I looked at Buzz and asked seriously.

"Not really." Buzz shrugged and said in a bored tone. "We were able get our eyes on almost all the employees and management authorities of that Godforsaken company. We were able to get the complete list of their anonymous tops as well. As far as the report I got this morning, there's nothing unusual."

"Say, if Illaria could guess my real identity, so could others as well." This is not the right time for anyone to know my identity.

"Also, not all the members of SkyGod are found. There is still one mysterious person who is acting as a small shareholder of the company but as per the intel, he is the one who comes with the strategies for the company. Unless we know who, that person is, we cannot pull an operation against SkyGod."

"That's right. Your identity should be under tight wraps until we get that person. He maybe anyone who might be acting as common as a janitor around us to observe us."

This SkyGod is such a bad luck to me. I finally liked someone for the first time and its mere existence is already a huge obstacle between Illaria and me.

"You couldn't find out anything from the phone and call records of other members of that blasted company?" I asked, heaving a solemn breath.

"Nothing. Even the private numbers are traced and nothing unusual found." Who might be this hidden member who is so cautious and almost impenetrable?

I tapped my fingers on the table in thoughts as I reeled over all the information again and again. After thinking for a long time, I suddenly stood up and looked at Buzz with an expectant look.

"Until now, we have tried to find him. Let's now do something that might make him find us instead." I smirked.

"Huh?"

"Let's go and have a good chat with Alarming Allard." I said confidently and dragged the refusing Buzz with me to Illaria's office.

She knows my identity, in that case, why not just include her in a small operation as well.

Along the way, I can just show her how hard I'm working and showcase a few of my good merits too.

I suddenly realized that as a man, I'm too slow in pursuing my love interest.

What kind of romance it is when a little crime and thriller is not added to it?
