She is the devil

8.

I gently shut the door behind me as I observe the place closely. Very exquisite. Mostly white and silvery grey colours and a little touch of black. And the ceiling. Glass. The sky is looking amazing, I see.

Somehow, the rest of the hotel had bright colours, but this one is so different and the designer knew their job.

And the man of the day is swimming, not really paying attention to who has entered. Oh well.

I see several grey pacific pool loungers and head to them as I take off my bathrobe and place it on the sunlounger. Should I call it that? I mean it's not really for the sun if it is inside, but technically, such pool chairs are called sunloungers, but then these ones would be called-

A throat-clearing interrupts my thoughts.

I turn to see Basil standing in the middle of the pool with his arms crossed. Well, the man is ripped. Gosh, what I would do to touch-

"Why are you inside here? No one apart from me has access today", he interrupts my thoughts yet again.

"Why are you annoying? No one apart from my family can do that", I say mocking his voice.

"But to answer your question“, I say walking closer to the pool.

" I have access to everything in this hotel no matter what day it is", I say then dive in and swim closer to him.

I resurface from under the water and brush my hair back with my eyes closed.

As I open my eyes to look at him,he's already staring.

His eyes shift to my lips, then eyes, nose, eyebrows, it's as if he's trying to memorise my face.

"I don't think we've been properly introduced to each other", he starts.

"And whose fault might that be, Alek?", I ask.

He looks at me but I can tell he's actually trying to read me, but I'm only amused.

"Don't let me disturb you, Mr Adamos",I say as I put my left hand above his forearm for balance and use my right hand to push the strands of hair away from his face, while staring into his eyes.

With that, I swim to the edge of the pool and start my laps. He follows my lead without a single word.

I hear a vibration and pause.

I get out of the pool to see that it's my phone ringing.

Damon is calling.

"Damon, I didn't think you would call me that quick", I answer in an amused tone as I take a seat and grab the small towel to pat myself.

Basil is still swimming. I admire the stamina.

"Where are you? I thought you were coming to visit me", he says.

"Oh please, you and I know better than that. All you have to do is ask. Ariel already asked me to come over for tomorrow so you're late", I say.

"Okay, can I see you alone on Monday then?", he asks.

"I have a meeting and some work", I say.

"Work as in a mission?", he asks.

I hum in agreement

"Okay what about Tuesday?", he asks.

"We'll see", I say and hang up as Basil starts coming out of the pool.

"Done for the day?", I ask as I stand up.

"Yes", he answers as he takes his towel to dry his hair.

"Have you eaten?", he asks as I put on the bathrobe.

"Is that your way of asking me to have meal with you?", I ask with a smile.

"Seems like you're not hungry then", he narrows his eyes at me.

"I haven't eaten, I was planning to go eat on the rooftop after taking a shower", I say and leave without waiting for his response.

If he does not come to the rooftop, I am going to spill my guts out.

I mean the nerve of this man.

He saw me supposedly drunk and offered to f**k me.

When we are a thousand feet in the air, he is annoyed by my presence.

Now that I am showing a lot of skin, he is suddenly interested.

And then they say women are complicated?

Shocker.

But anyway, I am not going to really work much.

Actually, I think I am going to stay in my suite the whole day and do some paperwork.

He will experience being stood up by someone who did not directly invite him.

And for the love of blood, whoever is following me better turn or I will murder them.

I turn my head to the side and notice that it is Basil.

I reach the elevator and we both step in.

I press the floor I am going to. Which is the same as his. Hehehehe.

We all saw that coming though. If you thought I would end up in the same suite as him because there are no rooms left, wake up. This is not some love story in the making.

" I don't know if it is purely coincidental that you happened to be in the same flight and floor as me or you actually had something to do with it", he says out of nowhere.

" Trust me, if I had anything to do with us being around each other, you would be inside of me", I say and the elevator opens. I exit and head to my suite without waiting for his response or even giving him a glance.

Now I am going to shower, then feed my soul with food and work.

And by work,I mean the legal work, which is actually more boring to me because there are no murders unless necessary. And that has not even happened yet, because they are loyal employees.

I mean this is EARTH. Why are they not stealing or causing some drama for my companies?

Let us be f*****g real. People are greedy. Heck, even I am greedy and do something about it.

But then again, the first and last person to steal from me got fired. The next day they were in the hospital and then boom, dead.

I actually had no hand in it. Karma did the job for me and somehow everyone leant from that incident not to steal. However, ME, personally, I would have tortured the person to death. I don't like quick, easy deaths. It's too plain. But then again, I was not going to actually kill them, I was just going to make sure they lose everything they have and make sure that they would never be able to do anything in life. I mean, for 6 months you take a million and you think we will not see it.

So that person actually got lucky to die before I dealt with them.
