Behind the mask

Chapter 4

I kept staring at that same spot for several minutes even though she wasn't there anymore. Any lady has never drawn my attention as she did.

This is definitely the first!

Her black gown fitted her white skin properly making it look so perfect on her. Her eyes are just something I never wish to take my eyes off. 'They were so alluring'.

I wanted to continue staring at her, I didn’t want to take my eyes away from her.

But then, her attention was drawn away by that huge guy. I couldn't help but feel so angered as I watched them walk through the hallway. I saw how shaped she looks behind. Swears, I seriously wish to have that lady as mine.

"Hey Man!"I heard a loud bang on the table in front of my seat. 'Vip Lounge Actually.' That's where Someone of my standard belongs.

"Do you have to bang the Table that way?"I raised my voice due to the music so he could hear me properly.

"I had to, Man! You were literally lost and staring intensely at a spot." Drake replied as Nelson kept glaring at him.

"I wasn't just staring at Drake! I just saw a lady who caught my attention at first sight. I need that lady, Drake."I explained eagerly which made Drake extremely shocked.

"Uhm, You aren't someone to get this desperate for a lady, Nelson. What's going on?"Drake couldn't hide his surprise. He knows his best friend doesn't get attracted to a lady Unless they both are about making out and after that, His attraction towards you fades immediately. His Actions towards this anonymous lady, Is just so uncalled for.

"I don't Care if I'm being awkward or desperate, Drake. I just want that lady right now. Quickly take the route of that hallway and get her here, Now!" I ordered. Drake's eyes became bulgy in surprise.

"Nelson, there are already two ladies in your hotel room, and are in your bed waiting patiently for your arrival. Could you please let this Lady slide?"

"No!" I yelled and banged my fist on the table which drew little attention towards us. -Who cares?

"You don't make the orders, Drake! only I have the right and I'm still your damn boss! Get yourself up and go get me that girl this minute!"I yelled, staring daggers at the now shocked Drake. I'm sure he Wasn't expecting my outburst.

Without another word, he quietly stood up and walked towards the said hallway as I watched him while sipping from my glass of wine.

Drake point of view

I stood in front of the only seen door along the hallway and guessed the said lady might be in there.

Suddenly, I saw two huge guys walking out from a dark corner. I never expected anyone to be there. especially huge guys like themselves.

"What do you want?" I heard one asked with his deep bold voice.

This is happening because of Nelson.I gulped hard and then cleared my throat before replying.

"There's a lady my boss saw walk through this path, May I have a talk with her please?" I said choosing my words wisely to avoid all of my teeth falling off my mouth.

"Different ladies have come and gone. So, I don't know that lady you're talking about. Please take your leave now. This hallway isn't for everyone." The other huge guy replied. I signed at the embarrassment Nelson is making me experience.

"Alright."I simply said as I quickly turned and made for the vip lounge without staring behind me to know if those helfy guys were glaring.

"Where's she?" Nelson asked immediately as I walked in and took my seat. Without answering him, I turned myself a drink and gulped it all down emptying the glass cup once more. I needed to calm my nerves.

"The hefty guys didn't let me into the room."I said, which made him frown at me.

"Damn it!" He yelled and clenched his fist.

I kept staring at his weird behavior tonight all for just a lady. -Isn't it absorbed?

"I will be right back."He said as he stood up from his seat. I frowned as I watched him climb down the few steps and walk towards the hallway. -Is this guy truly serious? I sighed as I turned myself a drink.

Nelson continues.

I approach the hefty guys as they just wouldn't take their eyes off me. I'm not someone who's easily intimidated. I also do have hefty guys just like them.

"This Hallway is not for customers, Mr. Please head back."I heard one of them say which made me scoff.

I stared at the door in front of me and something caught my attention. a little inscribed name at the up of the door which is hardly noticed. 'Emily's Office' I immediately knew this office belonged to the owner of this new flashy club.

"I'm here to see your boss Emily." I said Emphasizing on the name 'Emily' like I've met her before. They both gazed at each other and then run their eyes all over me.

"Just hold on, let me inform her. What's your name?"He asked, which made me chuckle. I mean, there's no one who doesn't know Nelson.O.Butler in the whole Of L.A and across.

"It's funny you don't know me. I'm Nelson.O.Butler."I replied which made their eyes become so bulgy beyond recognition.

"So...Sorry for our manners, Sir."They both said simultaneously with their heads slightly bowed. I smirked and held the knob of the door and twisted it.

I walked into the office to meet someone I never imagined would cross my path ever again. I stood rooted in a spot after shutting the door behind me.

Taking her eyes off what she was doing to stare at the intruder, Her eyes became bulgy with her mouth partly opened.

"Nel...Nelson?" She gasped in Surprise /Shock.
