Devil's Temptation

Chapter 4

Duce's POV

"Should I fix your necktie, Sir?" I asked before I leaned at him. He didn't say anything. He just glares at me again so I can't help but laugh softly.

I remember the last line he said after he helped me fix the water in my bathroom. Well, it seems like he actually likes to be someone who will be respected. I just shook my head before shrugging.

"Does your silence mean yes?" I asked, smiling at him. As usual, I didn't hear anything from him. I stepped toward him before I fix his necktie. My lips immediately parted when I saw him staring at me. I lick my lips before I tiptoe just to tease him. I brought my lips to his ear before whispering.

"Your hair is so messy, Sir," I said before I fixed it too. He was just standing there stunned. I can't stop laughing at what I'm doing.

We're going to attend a party for charity. Many well-known business partners will attend there and Nicolas is one of them.

I put on extra make-up today for the fear that someone will recognize me. It is not unlikely that there are international businessmen there. But of course, it will be hard for them to know that it's me. My blonde hair is black now. The blue eyes are black now too. Of course, there are no moles on my face either. I also tan my skin. Very different from my snow-colored skin.

I also change the way I move and my clothing too. And most importantly, my facial expression. I was so different from the Duce everyone knows. The one who doesn't smile a lot and just has the same blank expression over and over again.

Nicolas Abaddon and I went to his car. He has a driver and he was still focusing on his files. Well, it also interests me with the way he does his business, but because I treat this as my vacation as well as my revenge, I won't interfere with him.

But I let him know that I was here by trying to flip the paper for him. He looks like it doesn't really interest him to go to this party but he doesn't have a choice because his image is at stake. I understand him at some point.

After a while, we arrived there. He looked at me so I tried to smile at him.

“Don't wander around. Just stay by my side,” he said, so I just smiled and shrugged. That won't happen. I have my own plan today.

I saw his cold look at me so I just laughed before walking after him. He was immediately greeted by his well-known business partners. They are usually women. Well, he has the looks. Even if others know that he has a fiancee, they are still very openly flirting with Nicolas Abaddon.

I just grinned as I watched a woman hold Nicolas without hesitation.

"You know what you can always visit my hotel. I'll be there for you," another woman said. Right. Even if I won't seduce him, a lot of people will do that for me.

"Thanks. I'll take note of that," he coldly said to the woman. He really has a way of cutting his talk with someone. He couldn't leave right away because some businessmen came to say hello.

"Wait, you have changed woman again?" a man asked with a laugh, so I couldn't help but smirk. So he likes to change his woman, huh? I just grinned there before shrugging my shoulders. It seems like people don't really mind about it. They are blinded by money and power.

"Uh... No, Sir... I'm just Sir Nicolas' secretary," I said, still smiling. Well, some of Nicolas' women are looking at me with a glare.

"Oh? You can be my woman with that body of yours," a businessman said with a smile while looking at me. Oh, one of the mad dogs who wanted to f**k girls around again.

"Shut your trap, Cortez. My secretary is not that type of girl. If you may excuse us," Nicolas coldly promised before he grabbed my wrist and left. He also let go after.

A little later, we also went to the table that was meant for him. He's in the front because he's really one of the important guests here. I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders before sitting behind him.

The event started and after the speech, those who wanted to talk to him also came. He looked so bored while answering their questions. I'm glad that I'm just here to accompany him. Just like him, it annoys me every time someone approaches me with the same question over and over again.

"Oh, you're Nicolas' secretary? I didn't know he had a sexy one. He really has his taste, huh?” asked by a smiling businessman. I just smile too. Well, instead of approaching Nicolas who was talking with a lot of people right now, he's talking to me.

"I'm Jairus," he said before extending his hand to me.

"Amethyst, Sir," I said. Just for casualness.

“That's a nice name. Here's my business card. You can always call me when you're having a hard time," he promised me with a wink. His smile seemed to indicate something too. I secretly rolled my eyes but when I looked at Nicolas, our eyes immediately met. His eyes were sharp as if they were piercing through my soul.

"Excuse me. I'll just talk with my secretary for a while," he said to the people who were talking with him. Everyone was wondering while looking at him before turning to look at me. And of course, I was curious too. What is he going to talk about?

Nicolas took me to a less crowded place before he let go of my hands. He glared at me before he spoke.

"Stop f*****g flirting. It's still office hour," Nicolas Abaddon said to me coldly, so I couldn't stop raising my eyebrows and frowning at him. What's his problem now?
