She's The Troublemaker

Chapter 17 - There's Another Devil

"huh"

" I said lets dance"

" Isn't that awkward"

" You didn't feel any sort of awkwardness near Logan ?" the arched eyebrow directed towards me was indeed suspicious. Why was he concerned anyways ? It's not his job . I imitated his arched eyebrow in return . I looks around to avoid our eye contact and found that we were the new centre of attraction......mainly him not me . Women were eyeing him as if he was a steak for dinner . Men on the other hand were too focused on their alcohol to even notice their partners interest .

" I said dance . " he gritted through his teeth

You know the time when we girls get our periods and want to murder the f*****g mankind . Yes I had the same feeling only that I wasn't on my periods yet . I shook my head in disapproval . No matter what happens I am going for a second round of desserts I wasn't going to move an inch before I have some. I  would never let a a man control my emotions for my desserts . I hadn't seen such a big finale of desserts in my entire life . Now I was forced to leave it . His hand gripped my arm so tight I winced . There wasn't even a slight change in his expressions as he led me to the dance floor . Needless to say I followed without creating a scene . The previous music died down as another slow number came in . The steel grip on my arm losened and for once I thought I was free. Then came an arm around my waist and another gently taken by his free hand . As couples started to sway so did we , only that my urge to stamp his feet increased by every sway he performed . Graceful as a panther with a face of a granite we swayed along the entire ballroom and to say the truth I began to care less for the desserts . Weird ,  I know . I was starting to think that my night was peaceful when he decided to open his horrendous mouth .

" So Ms.Raykar . Lets get to the point . Why did you come here ?"

" Why do you think I would answer your question ?"

" Because you work for me and only me . Its your right to answer when I ask you anything ."

" As far as my memory goes I am still under a disguise of Mrs. Rodriguez . So I would not feel any guilt for not answering you .I don't think you would like to create a scene ? Am I right , sir ?"

" Apparently yes . So I am asking you again . Why ?" This time his voice had gone stern like a concrete block . I gulped this might not be the perfect time for sarcasm , my job was on the line plus I had to pay my debt to him . 

" Because the menu rates at your hotel are so damn high . At the same rate I could serve ten people a medium rare steak ."

" Have you gone mad . I-I mean Insane , bonkers , out of you head ?"

" Let me tell you a secret sir .......All of the best people are ." I whispered close to his ear .Th song slowly died down and withdrawing myself from his clutches . I headed back to the ......you guessed it right dessert section . As my ecstasy of devouring desserts continued , I checked my phone to find 5 missed calls from Ethan . Pressing the nine button which was a speed dial shortcut to Ethan I waited . 

Tring Tring 

Tring Tring 

Tring Tring 

After almost third ring he picked up . I guess Ethan had company due to the horrific noise at the back . 

" Hey Mel , whats the matter , everything okay ?" 

" I should be asking that to you , You moron. It was you who gave the 5 missed calls "

" Don't worry mel . It was Victors dare to call you but yo didn't pick up so he got the loser cap ."

" Wait a second . You are playing truth or dare ? "

" Yup and let me tell you Mel . I got this insane task to eat a spoonful of Mustard . How bizzare is that ?"  He exclaimed . 

" What about aunt , ethan ?. I told you to look after her . Y-You are playing ...have you got no sense in that brain of yours ."

" Hey chill . Even aunt is playing . It was her idea in the first place . Besides we - Victor,Ashley , Mike and I are in the hospital , I know we aren't allowed to play music and such sorts so we have closed all the doors made sure that we put a low volume and it so happened that my phone was near it so you heard it loudly ." I face-palmed . Why was my aunt so easy going ? why can't she be like normal aunts and complain about noise and such . She should have rested .But knowing my aunt she will never abide my thoughts . I blew out a breath .  It's useless to argue with a person who knows all your embarrassing moments in your childhood . For example peeing on the bed , the one time I got scared by a toy , And the time when I cried for my favourite character . 

" Fine . play . But I need your attention on her health as well . Is that understood ?"

" Yes Mommy " They all said in unison . 

And all I could do was laugh back.....

But all in all I felt heavy . Had I eaten too much ? No possibly not . I felt being watched . It was strange . I looked everywhere no one seemed to pay attention . No. They were focused on the dance . My eyes roamed through out the area to find my boss with some other men drinking . I looked around again to find the old couple leaving as the smiled at me one last time . Something said me I would be in deep trouble . Like the silence before a storm . I shrugged the feeling away . My eyes locked with my boss's as he mouthed something . At first I didn't understand but then when he mouthed again I got the answer -

' Get Out ' he mean't 

See how much he loves me , aww.......my foot . I turned away from him and shook my head at him and smiled . The best fake smile I could ever muster . That caught him and within a matter of time he was beside me . 

" I said you to get out . Didn't I ?"

" I didn't understand you ."

" Now you do . Now get out before somebody recognises you . I wouldn't want my company fame at stake ."

" Okay fine ." I had started to leave when he grabbed my arm again

" Wait , It's late . So I am coming with you ."

" This isn't a public hall I can get there myself. Its in the hotel anyway ."

" If I say you re coming with me . Then I want you to come with me no more questions ."

The grip on my arm didn't go . As I walked with my boss smiling at everyone who came forward . The feeling of being watched grew stronger . I read in an article that your brain can detect the direction in which a person is looking at you . SO when my brain worked and I turned . At first I could see dark brown hair , stiff body only because of the waitress bending to tae the order . But when she moved I could see the person clearly . 

Dark Brown hair 

Fit body 

And those striking yet cold grey eyes .....

My breathing hitched and my eyes widened , so did his smirk . But the grey never left mine . My palms starting sweating as my heart started to beat faster . After all these years ......he found me .

'' Luca..." I mouthed 

As his smirk widened ......
