Lucy[I]Report to work when you're fully healed[i/][B]lights off[b/] Who the hell signs a letter like that??? Okay...I know I'm being silly, but whoever wrote this letter would have signed his name instead of the club's name at least to help me figure out who visited me at the hospital while I was unconscious. It's not as if I can walk up to Mr Baron or Mr Velvet, demanding the say something so I can figure out who owns that voice at the hospital.'Mr Velvet Cardin' is my life revolving around that name or what?? I picked up the handkerchief that mysteriously found it's way into my pocket many years ago. I'm not exactly sure the particular year that I found this handkerchief in my possession, but I know it was a very long time ago.Tracing the inscription on the handkerchief which has Cardin written boldly in cursive writing. Is it strange that I have a boss's boss named Cardin and also a mysterious handkerchief with Cardin inscribed on it? Shaking my head, I laughed at how stupid I
CardinI requested for Lucy but this clown showed up instead of her, and that alone irked me up "what the fuck are you doing? I don't remember requesting for your services" "Sorry sir, but you see, Lucy can't climb the stairs so I offered to bring it myself" Can't climb the stairs? Is she still in pains? I turned to the guy who is fumbling with the shot glass "what is your name?" "Jasper sir" "So Jasper, how did you know she couldn't climb the stairs?" "I saw her limping earlier today, and she winced when she tried climbing the first two stairs" "I still don't understand why we have to keep her around" Ashley hissed "Just shut the fuck up Ash" Baron chastised She turned red in anger "don't you ever shut me up in front of my employees again Baron or so help me heavens, I am going to fucking deal with you" "Retrieve your claws sister, you can't do more than biting and scratching" Baron replied, whilst trying to hold in his laughter "You t
Lucy I got home that night thanks to Mr. Velvet's driver. I made sure my doors and windows are locked before I brought out the dollar notes to count them again. This is more than enough to sustain me for the whole week even for the whole damn month.The door knob rattled and I froze 'am I getting robbed?'The sound stopped before I heard jingling of keys and the door opened. Vivian my roommate walked in but stopped abruptly when she saw me sitting on the sofa with cash on my hands. She eyed me "I thought you are working tonight?" "I was given one week to heal properly" She eyed the money "is that your salary or a get well soon money?" Ignoring her question, I took in her appearance. I noticed her torn cloth to her smeared lip stick "are you okay? What happened to your cloth?" "Mind your fucking business" she hissed I looked at her one more time before standing up from the sofa "I was just being a concerned roommate Vivian. Do have a good night"
Cardin I have been visiting this club more often, wasting my time even when I have other things to do. Ashley has also noticed my frequency and she is very much aware that it is not because of her but rather because of a particular green eyed woman. Although I gave her a week off, I still show up just in case she decides to disobey which I'm very sure she will. I ran my gaze round the club and my eyes landed on her at the dance floor, dancing comfortably with that clown. I stood up out of reflex, holding the rail; my gaze fixed on her. As if sensing my stare, she stopped dancing and looked around. Immediately her eyes found mine, she took a step back. The clown held her and I fought the urge to get down there and beat him senseless. He whispered something to her ear and she whispered back before leaving the dance floor. "It seems the attraction is one sided" Turning to Baron, I raised my brows in question "what is one sided?" He pointed towards the dance floo
Lucy I woke up with a throbbing headache and a sore face; I touched my right cheeks and winced from the pain that I just felt from touching it. I stood up from the bed and walked into the toilet, washed my face but the pain and headache didn't stop, so I opted for a pain killer. Still staring at my face in the mirror, I wondered what happened to me last night because I remember my afternoon very clearly but last night seems to have never existed at all. Slightly feeling my sore cheeks, I thought about the dream I had last night or what I think is a dream because right now, I'm not even sure if I actually dreamt it or was it just my mind tricking me. I dreamt that I was attacked at the club's toilet's hallway by a man I can't even remember and Mr. Velvet came to my rescue. The funny thing is that Mr. Velvet actually killed someone in my dream, can you actually believe that? For the fact that I'm even dreaming of him at all is crazy. Yes he's a handsome man... Very handsom
Lucy Monday came by very quickly and if not for Mr. Baron's visit, I would have been happy to be here. I just feel like asking someone if they have attended any event with Mr. Baron in the past. I pinched myself at how ridiculous I sound right now. Is not as if Mr. Baron is a serial killer who is going to kill me for no just reason and dump my body down the ocean. I walked to my duty post which is behind the bar. There I met an already busy Jasper who was mixing drinks for an already drunk customer. Isn't the night a little bit early to be drunk already? Immediately Jasper handed the drink to the eager customer, he looked at me."What happened to your face?" This night for the first time, I wished I have makeup and that I applied some on my face. "I fell off the bed while sleeping" He bit his inner cheeks to stop himself from laughing out loud. "You fell off the bed while sleeping? Really?" Picking up the towel, I wiped off the spill overs on the counter.
Cardin Ashley looked surprised that I am aware of her stupid prank. Was that even a prank? What if she died? I stopped my mind from going towards that direction. "Why did you do it?" She sat down and flipped her hair to one shoulder “why did I do what?" One thing Ashley enjoys is agitating someone, she likes to get a reaction from her preys and she's irremediably stupid to think I don't understand her game.“Why did you choose her to prey on?" She admired her nails "why don't you tell me why you are so interested in her? Why are you bothered that I chose her?" "What did I tell you about harming innocent human? I gave you a fucking order to stay away from them but what did you do? You went and almost killed that innocent girl and I demand to know why?" "The attack on her is just random, there is no interior motive" No interior motive my ass. I stood up and grabbed her neck, she tired to pull my hand away but that's definitely not happening, I squeezed i
Lucy I still can't understand what just happened few hours ago. I've been sitting in a random bar, too afraid to go home because I keep wondering; what if he comes back to finish what he started? He reminded me so much of him. Mr. Baron said he wasn't himself as if I couldn't tell already by the color of his eyes. His coffee brown eyes turned golden. "Madam, we are about to close for the day" I blinked up at the waiter "please what is the time?" He pointed towards the wall clock "its five minutes past eleven" I didn't even realize that it is this late already. I paid for my drink and walked out. Standing outside the silent street, I realized that I feel safer here than I would at home. I can't help but think that Cardin or whatever the hell that was will come back to finish what he started. "It isn't safe to stand here alone in the middle of the night" I startled at the sound of that voice. I turned and found the same waiter standing close to me. Runn
