In love with Lucifer

Chapter 1

Character analyzed.

I went through the stats, Ok!

What weapon?

Dagger!

I clicked the next option and a big button displayed, "character selected" in red and black.

I was so intrigued that I didn't see who was hitting my desk so rudely. I slowly turned around with the chair and sighed deeply, my elbow pointing towards the desk surface with a fake 'are you blind?' grin.

"Were you so intrigued in building a character as built like me?" Felix asked. There was a ticklish smile on his lips that sometimes gave me goosebumps, I rolled my eyes and let out a small smile.

He paused for a second as his eyes stared at my face, "OMG! Don't tell me Adina is blushing?!" He almost screamed drawing others' attention.

I groaned at him. "Felix, stop your childish act."

He shrugged as if he was already giving up but much to my surprise he frowned."You know, smiling fits you better," he played with my cheeks and I snapped his fingers off before people begin to suspect something. We were just friends. Close buddies.

I turned around to see other colleagues walking away at once and I was curious to know what the emergency was all about.

I switched off my laptop, took my phone from the table, and stood up, he was still looking up at me with a stern face before I replied, "what abs have you got?"

He frowned slightly before standing up dramatically, "Isn't it visible enough through my shirt?"

I tossed his hands away from his chest and smiled childishly, "If a gamer chooses you, then he or she has lost automatically, get that ass face off you. You look like a zombie," I joked.

His face curled up to a sad pretense but he shoved it away and went straight to the point, " We should hurry, our boss is introducing us to a new colleague, meanwhile he would be next to the boss."

I gripped my phone tightly biting my lips, "Isn't that partiality? Would he just take away your position without any scrutinizing?"

I was confused but he seemed okay with it and we both climbed the stairs to the second floor, "You see, he is somewhat closer to the boss and I even doubt he is on merit," he replied and I sighed.

There was no way someone from nowhere would just arrive and take someone's else position! I have been here for almost a year now and I haven't even gotten promoted! Yeah, maybe because I was an Intern but seriously, Felix didn't deserve to be demoted.

After climbing the stairs, we opened the entrance and walked passed through a little corridor.

I slowly glanced at the man sitting near our boss. To say he was handsome was an understatement. He was looking like an expert in the gaming and his appearance looked intimidating. I kept on staring at the stranger before his eyes met mine and I instinctively froze. Who was he?

Immediately his eyes met mine, he removed his gaze and whispered some stuff to our boss. They seemed quite close.

Our boss cleared his throat and swallow and I knew it meant trouble. "Miss Adina and Mr. Felix, why are you both coming at this hour when the meeting is almost over?"

What meeting? About ten to twelve people standing before the boss wasn't a meeting. If it was a meeting, we were to be in our chairs and with our laptops. We would have even been informed earlier too. I hated impromptus and I hated myself more.

I lessened my peacock neck as I walked nearer to his desk, staring at the tiled floor like there were some displaying characters. After a while, I raised my head, "Sorry sir, I was busy working on the swordsman2 Level01, I delayed Mr. Felix, it's my fault, punish me, sir."

By now I wasn't looking upwards because I was scared to look at his eyes which must be buried with fury now. I could feel many eyes stabbing my skin and my heart just praying to explode or escape from me.

Our boss turned to Felix, it was his turn to apologize. " It's my fault, sir, punish me."

Mr. Lorenzo Hart chuckled while looking at our lunatic display with some colleagues whispering.

He cleared his throat, "Punish me, punish me, I hope both of you know the side effect of colleagues dating?"

"Yes sir!" We chorused.

"That aside." He said, "This is my new PA. He is Jethro Miller."

The name sounded familiar but I didn't think more about it.

After the brief introduction, everyone dismissed their work and I did too, but I never had the idea the new PA was trailing me. I stopped and turned backward, looking below his chest, "What is your request, sire?"

He didn't reply but came closer to me and I jerked backward, he kept coming closer and the same process continued before my back finally hit the wall. With this opportunity, he took my face in his hand and whispered sadly, "Rose? So it's true?"

Who was he talking about?

I frowned, "Excuse me?"

"Please let me be!" I muttered when his grip tightened on my chin. I wanted to blow him or show him what skills I got but he was a PA. He looked huge, rich, and far better than me. He was older and not thinking otherwise would make me lose my career instead.

He didn't heed my pleads but kept on talking and by now I wasn't listening to him. I kicked his legs and instead of him feeling that pain, it bounced back at me and I whimpered.

"Rose, you must stop your act now, you are just making it worse," he growled. "How many people do you plan to kill when you are back?" His voice made sweet blood run through my spine. I didn't know what else to feel. He was threatening me and at the same time, my heart was somehow listening to his every word. My eyes flickered close and he traced his fingers on my chin to my hair. I swallowed at every shock it made my body feel. I swallowed harder, feeling the icy hands on me. I stood still, my lips were shaking and I felt like I wanted to say something. I felt like I wanted to protest, but there was something in me, that yearned for more of his touch. Who was he?! I wasn't like this! I didn't squirm at people's touch like a fool. I wasn't!

He again touched my hair down to the hair beside my ear and I chuckled. His grin widened and for a moment I could feel he was genuinely happy or maybe anxious. It was a mixed feeling.

"You are still the same, Rose. That ticklish side of you stayed there even though your act has quite changed," he said to me, his every word disappearing as he said them.

I shook my head to stop the horrible feeling in me. When my sense came back to me I jerked away from his hold. I started thinking he was just some miserable being. He just got here and blabber about something unfathomable. Who was I? Not like I could even hurt a cockroach not to talk of killing someone. A human?

Sigh!

After some moments, he took his hands off me and walked away.

I breathed so hard.

It was so weird. I felt like I wasn't myself. Who was he? Just imagine someone from nowhere hitting hard on you and accusing you of horrible things.

I thought of what he had said when I was spellbound. Who the hell was Rose who would kill millions of people and not get arrested? He said billions i

I started to think he was ...

I got back to my office. I didn't even complete the character I was building. When it was 6p6 pmI arranged the desk and packed my things in my small black bag. I didn't even wait for Felix, I just took a cab and vanished. The Jethro guy had unveiled certain things in my life when he mentioned the word 'killed'.
