Crimson vows

Chapter 2

"Where is he, Lucas? I'm a very busy person, I know he's an investor but I'm getting uncomfortable here" I said to Lucas, my assistant.

"I'm sorry sir, I called him. He said he'd be here soon" he answered.

"Aren't there better places to meet, why does the meeting have to happen in a club?" I asked almost furiously.

"I'm sorry sir, this is his favorite spot, so he said he'd like the meeting to be here, but you can just enjoy the view sir' He said

"And what am I looking at exactly?" I asked sarcastically.

"The dancer," he winked.

"Oh please " I replied.

The dancers I had seen so far were good but the club wasn't just my type of place to be. The music, the ambiance, the flashy lights, and the smell of cigarettes were not just where I wanted to be or even to be seen.

"She moves like a dream, behind her mask lies a world of untold stories, desires, and forbidden fantasies. She dances like an angel but is as dangerous as the devil. She doesn't just perform she captivates, ladies and gentlemen she is art, tonight you're not just an audience, you are witnesses to her art... Scarlet Veil everyone " I heard the showman announce...

Why was so special about this person? Why did the showman take so much time to announce her? The faces of the other people in the club showed that she was someone they did anticipate.

Scarlet Veil danced gracefully, her movements left me in awe. From the moment she stepped on the stage, she had all my attention and I couldn't get my eyes off her till her final stunt. Her introduction by the showman didn't do justice to how much she danced, she indeed was an art to behold. And the red mask? Oh, my such creativity. I needed to know the eyes behind the mask.

I wasn't one to come to clubs, but she? She made me want to come here often. I had just gotten a long-targeted business investor and I was just here to see him, but I couldn't wait to see her again.

"Isn't she an angel? " Lucas questioned.

"I need to know who she is Lucas, I need to know," I told Lucas.

"Sir that's the point behind the mask, no one knows who she is, rumors have it her dancing is so perfect because of her mask " the investor interrupted.

"Well, I'd like to confirm that myself" I laughed slightly.

"That isn't possible, trust me, the regular ones here have tried but no one still hasn't seen her without the mask" he replied.

"Lucas, come with me" I turned to Liam.

"But sir.....’’

"It was nice meeting you here but we'll be taking our leave now and I hope we get to see you as one of our investors soon," I said as I and Lucas left the table.

I didn't know how, but I needed to see the red mask lady again. I need to see her.

"Sir, where are we going?" Lucas asked.

"I need to see the red mask girl again Lucas, I need to see her," I said, dragging Lucas to the toilet.

"Sir, don't you get it? She doesn't do private shows and she'd most likely not be here" he replied.

"But what if I see her and ask personally, could she make an exception?" I asked.

"That's a bad idea, why don't you see her boss or something" Lucas suggested.

"Yes, that'd be a brilliant idea....now there's just one problem, Where's her boss?" I asked.

"Sir I don't know if you know this but this is my first time here too" Lucas answered sarcastically.

"Well, let's go look for the manager or you'd lose your job," I said.

"I think I know where the manager might be," Lucas responded.

"Ah yes. I knew you wouldn't fail me" I answered sarcastically.

"Are you the manager of this club?" I asked the obvious as I and Lucas approached a man in a black tuxedo.

"It depends on who's asking?" He replied rudely.

"You don't know who I am... I am Victor Spears "

"Wait...you mean Victor Spears? like the billionaire Victor Spears?" He asked, his eyes booming with excitement.

"Lucas we seem to have a stupid one... young man, if I wasn't why would I lie" I answered starting to lose my patience.

"I'm..I'm sorry sir, we just don't get to see elites like yourself here often" he stuttered.

"Okay now I have a request’’ i said

"The request has been granted sir’’ he replied

"Numbskull, you don't even know the request yet" Lucas responded.

"I want to see that red mask girl....there's a name you call her said

"Oh you mean Scarlet Vile sir,’’ he answered

"Exactly that's her...she's the one...I'd like to see her, I want to meet her.’’ I requested

"Sir, she doesn't do private shows sir’’ he said

"And who told you I wanted a private show i***t?!!" I shouted.

"I'm sorry sir, I'll see what I can do’’ he said.

"I want to see her now," I pressed further.

"Let me go call her sir" the manager ran off while I and Lucas waited.

It was more than 20 minutes already and the manager wasn't back yet. There was no sign of the manager or the red mask girl.

"Lucas, it's been almost an hour already. Where's the manager? Are you sure he's even the manager Lucas " I asked furiously.

"Sir, it's been only 20 minutes and once again sir this is my first ti…’’

"Finish that statement and you won't have a job anymore, I promise you." I interrupted.

Or is the manager playing games with me or something?..

"There he is," Lucas said.

"Young man, why did you waste so much time? Where's the red mask girl" I questioned as I approached him.

"Uhm....sir I did see her... I did see her " he stammered.

"Okay, Where's she then" I shouted.

"She said she doesn't want to see you’’ he continued.

"Did you tell her who it was?’’I asked.

" I tried my best sir, but she insisted she's not seeing anyone," he said.

"Get out... Lucas, let's leave here" I said as I left the club.

The red mask girl is playing hard to get, isn't she? I promise I'll get her, I know I'll get her.
