The Devil's Sweetheart

15

Lisa finally released a long breath he has been holding for a longer time the moment she went out of the room. Even after she left, the whole place was smelling like a rotten sunflower. He grabbed a freshener and emptied half the container to clear off the rancid smell. All he could hear was perfume when she was talking to him. He wondered why some people wear it like they are not going to shower for weeks.

Lisa closed his eyes and just after seconds, a fresh lavender fragrance transpierced into his nose. He could still smell the scent of her when she peacefully slept on his shoulders drooling all over. She acts like a baby, throws tantrums like a child. Lisa shook his head and switched on his mobile to make a call to Nayeon for any mishaps in the meetings. Notifications flooded on his mobile like a bomb fire from certain someone the moment he opened.

[How can you leave Seattle without meeting me?]

[We are done with our friendship if you are going without meeting me]

[Did you forget we had a friendship at first sight?]

[Did you forget how I gave off my food in school]

Emotional blackmail.

"You look annoyed Lisa." Blake chuckled entering into his office.

"I get automatically annoyed after I see your face." He deadpanned and threw his mobile on the desk not intended to read any further.

"Man! I am a loss of words in front of your sharp tongue." He shook his head and added. "Starting from next week, I will be working from NewYork. Don't oppose this time. I have already trained someone to replace me here."

"Offer declined." He lazily said.

Blake did not even take his words into count. He just needs to pack everything and show up at his office after a week, Lisa would never oppose it. Blake was about to hand over a file for his signatures, his gaze unconsciously fell on the untouched banana juice. He finally remembered the important thing he wanted to ask with Lisa, whether he is really dating Regina or it is a false rumour. He could hear the whispers of many female employees cursing at Regina for stealing their CEO.

"There is a rumour between-"

Lisa's mobile phone rang cutting his thoughts.

"Blake I need to go somewhere urgent. Prepare the car." Grabbing his suit jacket he edged forward when the annoying person was not leaving him with peace until he visited her.

"All right." He still wanted to confirm the rumours, but seeing Lisa's irked look, he kept the thought to himself.

"I will be leaving for New York tonight." To find the address of his little kit was at the tip of his tongue, but he held back not after she threw her childish taunts at him. Let her enjoy the wedding, I will pester visiting her office when she is back.

"Throw that juice into the garbage." He added gazing at the glass with a disdain.

....

Regina was pacing back and forth in the washroom biting her polished nails when she has not received any reply from the man she has assigned for her work. Her frown turned into laughter when her mobile beeped. She knew it would be a success, for the man would never fail in any missions.

[Plane ticket sent over your mail]

Gripping her mobile, she laughed eerily with the thought of spending six hours with her beloved.

.....

Sitting in his car, Lisa was contemplating if he should take a further step when his mobile ringed again further annoying him. Just how free time this woman has? He reluctantly lifted the call.
