Evelynn hoped that she looked like the epitome of seriousness as she types nonsense into her laptop. She patiently waits for the clock to strike five, waiting for her prey to finish work. She blinks at a folder thrown into her desk by one of her female co-workers who was crossing her arms while glancing at Evelynn with a nasty look in her eye. The girl, Elaiza, had chin-length red hair and less than average looks. Evelynn assumes Elaiza was mad because the green-eyed woman had enraptured their other co-worker, Paul, who the redhead had liked. Evelynn rolls her eyes, gathering the papers into her arms, she would never know why these girls get mad at her when it wasn't her fault that they fell in love with dumb fools who would go begging on their knees for her. She supposed she could thank Elaiza for giving her an excuse to see her prey.

It had been a year at most when she left Heaven's Arena, she had been constantly hopping from one place to another. She wondered if the Phantom Troupe would try to find her in the arena but it isn't her fault if they failed to contact her. For a month, Evelynn worked at this office as a secretary. It was a fun experience, dressing up for work and fooling everyone into thinking she was nothing but a wide-eyed girl with a sweet disposition. She donned  a white wrap blouse with a black pencil skirt and black stilettos. She gently knocked three times on large double doors.

"Sir? It's Eve. I got the papers you asked Elaiza for." Evelynn said, fake sweetness, dripping from her tone.

"Come in"

Evelynn opens the door to enter. Inside was a man working behind a desk, dirty blonde hair and heartbreaker blue eyes. Put together and handsome. He looked like someone who had his whole life in order. " I told Elaiza to bring it, not order you around. I'm really sorry I don't know why she's being so mean towards you. She usually isn't like that"

Evelynn as much as she loved making people thinking she was innocent and nice found it uncomfortable to be the opposite of her actual personality. Fortunately, practice makes perfect and she had used this specific act a thousand times. Her discomfort doesn't show on her face as she smiled sickly sweet, "She isn't being mean to me. She's very nice and helpful"

Nathan shakes his head in disbelief, "I saw her making you do her work and spilling coffee on you deliberately. You don't have to lie. You can lean on me"

Evelynn nods. She only did Elaiza's work to gain everyone else's pity, pretending to go into overtime out of the kindness of her heart. Humans like feeling strong, their need to give and protect was ridiculous. Their want to be strong for other people was naive and childish. Evelynn hated that aspect of theirs the most. They should just be selfish and protect themselves. They should stop caring for other people when they couldn't even look out for themselves.
