"Ms. Caramia" someone called out my name then snaps their fingers right in front of my face
What the hell does this bitch want?

I sat up properly on my seat "The hell you want Winslow?" I asked my assistant who keeps standing still right in front of me for the past hour
I have limited patience and Winslow just keeps making it worst

She was shaking but in fear, while taking small glances at my hand where I played the small toothpick that I got from eating at a small eatery at the front of my office
This could be a nice thing to stab someone discreetly

A smirk formed at my lips where I just put on a fresh new layer of red lipstick "Do you wanna try it out?" I waved the toothpick at her and she jumped back a little

"N-no thanks, I'll get back to work and I'll just leave the progress chart here" she hurriedly sets down the folder and ran to the double wooden doors like her life depended on it
I didn't even threaten her, why is she acting like that?

I sighed and checked the folder, a satisfied smile was now painted on my face as I watched the charts go up
Today's monthly ratings are great, the meeting last time although was a bit cold since I was there

A loud knock echoed through my office breaking off the peaceful silence that I highly enjoyed for myself
Now, who is it now!?

I glared at the door opening to reveal one of my admirers who has been after me since last week after our abrupt meeting by the street

"Why do you want Arthur!?" I slammed both of my hands on the wooden desk

He poked his head through the door gap and gave me a sheepish grin "Hey Cara, I was hoping if you have time for lunch together?" He asked

Another one of my admirers who haven't known my true nature yet
This is going to be tiring

I rubbed one side of my temple "Go away" I demanded

He stopped walking up to me "Are you sure? You don't want free lunch?"
Luring me with free lunch I see

My hand reached for one of my drawer handles and pulled it, inside of my bottom drawer is my sharpened envelope opener. I brought it out and simultaneously stabbed one of my stack of papers that I was planning to ask Winslow to throw away for me

Arthur flinched when he saw stab it

"Arthur" I smiled sweetly at him. His adam's apple moved a bit

"Y-yes, Caramia?" He nervously asked me

I used my pointer finger and moved it back and forth like a 'come here' motion "I want a test subject to test my envelope sharpener, luckily you're here"

He didn't move
How odd

Since he didn't want to come, I might as well do it myself. I stood up from my seat with the envelope opener still in my hand and I slowly strutted to him with my heels making clicking sounds as it touches the marble floor
