Maid For Beckett Catching The Baseball Legend’s Heart novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64

-Andi-

It was too late to turn off the bathroom lights, so I just pulled the door closed until the lights were trapped inside and the room was bathed in darkness again.

The shadow outside was dull. The pool’s underwater lights were the only gleam outside. With my bare feet. I tiptoed towa the room first, tracing the walls with my back until I reached the window. Whoever was outside was walking amble as it be had all the time in the world.

I can hear my heartbeat filling the thick silence of the room. It was thudding so loudly it was deafening. I was aware of the cold floor beneath my bare feet, my own breathing, slow and shallow, as if I were afraid to give away my current station.

Panic claws up my throat. The chills from the alley, the piercing pain on my side pulsed, and my spine was as stiff as a pol

I was at the window now, and the curtains blocked my view of the person outside.

“What do you have?” I recognize Beckett’s voice. It was controlled, cold, and aloof.

My hand flies to my mouth, worried he might hear me breathing.

“Here” Cole’s voice was the one who answered Beckett’s question.

Somehow, my panic didn’t fade even though I already recognized Beckett and Cole. It’s like they were having a secret meeting about the safety of this country. Like spies and secret agents.

Through the thin curtain, I see two huge shadows in front of the pool house. They were near the edge of the pool, and I stil heard the dogs barking inside their doghouse.

Beckett was holding an envelope, and he pulled out one document after another; how he read through the dim light was beyond my understanding, But he doesn’t look pleased. His shoulder stiffened with one document to the other. “This doesn’t make sense.”

“It doesn’t,” Cole agreed. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit up one. “But things like this happen all the time.”

Beckett pushed the documents back inside the envelope, his hands falling to his side. “Was it really a coincidence? He wasn’t waiting there for Andi?”

The murmur of my name from his lips intensified the drumming in my chest. What are they talking about? Is it the paparazzi or the guy from the alley?

“That guy got out of prison just a week ago,” Cole explained. “He had been living on the streets since. And now I put him in a

coma,”

It dawned on me that they were talking about the guy from the alley. The fake paparazzi guy was dressed well enough to guess that he wasn’t living on the streets.

“What about his background?” Beckett inquired. “Everything in here is his record from prison. Nothing about his life before he went to jail.”

“Beckett,” Cola sighed. “You can’t always put meaning into what these men do. Sometimes they just do things on a whim.”

Still unconvinced, Beckett clutched the envelope. “It won’t hurt if we do a background check on him,” he insisted.

“Are you done?” Beckeu groaned, Clearly, Cole’s idea doestrt sit well with kiko. “# you have to verfull information for sur you can leave now”

Cole’s laughter became louder. The threat in Beckett’s voice doesn’t even scare him one bit.

“I can’t wait for Nana to find out about this,” Cole murmured.

Beckett grunted, “Don’t say a word about this, or I swear I will slit your throat in your sleep?

Unfazed, Cole hollered, “Ohhh, scary,” he said, catching his breath. “Just send use the wedding invasion

“Leave!” Beckett said pointedly, clearly mad. The dogs bark became louder as they felt their master’s agration

“Alright, alright,” Cole mumbled, still amused by whatever emotions he’s getting from Beckett. He liked pushing his counts buttons; that was evident.

Cole was the first to leave. Beckett stayed for a little while longer at the poolside, staring at the clear blue water. 15 was derg in his thoughts, and my bladder reminded me that I hadn’t relieved it yet, I ran towards the bathroom on my tippy toes, and when I went back to peek at the poolside, Beckett was already gone.

In the morning, I woke up at my routine time at the estate. The three dogs were already waiting for me by the door when I opened it, demanding a good amount of petting

When I went to make breakfast for my boss, I was surprised to find him already at work. He was still in yesterday’s duties, with a black apron around his hips. His shoulders were broad as he held a pan and a spatula. This was a sight I never dogs I would see.

He grinned at me when he saw me as he transferred a still–steaming pancake onto the pile on the kitchen island. “Good morning.”

“What are you doing?” I stupidly asked.
