Callahan's POV

I sat on the leather chair of the office and I looked around the decor. It wasn't to my liking at all. I will tell Hiriotus(Mr Denver) to change it for me. I had already told him to change the door and he did it perfectly.

I had already distributed the tasks among the workers and now I had nothing to do. Other than some of the businesses here but that can wait since I need to do my actual work in Hell.

I was about to go when a knock came and I knew who it was. Emily Williams. I could feel the lust sipping out of her. Nice!

Her dirty thoughts could be heard from here and I knew why she was coming.

But I sensed another emotion that spread across my whole body and that wasn't from Emily. If I was feeling that much strength in those emotions, it only meant it was from Carson. There was a mixture of anger, sadness and insecurity but there was another emotion slightly poking through all of those. A little weak but I could feel it. It was tender and soft yet painful. I could not decipher what that was.

But the question was, why was Carson feeling these? Did Emily say something? It wouldn't be a shock because that girl only wants money, power and fame and above all she wanted everything that Carson had. There was a kind of jealousy that I see in humans. It amuses me.

Emily didn't even know why she felt hatred and jealousy toward Carson yet she would go for anything. It was more like an obsession of hers.

"Come in." I said as the woman entered. Her whole body felt dipped in lust. As soon as our eyes met, her heartbeat rose and colors added to her cheeks.

"Sir, I have done the files. Can you kindly check those?" She asked with a ringing voice and that confidence in her steps made me think why men would jump on each word she said.

She knew how to play them like she batted her eyelashes feigning how she was sending signals without her knowledge. She could be a good asset...later.

She handed me the files as I checked them and she undoubtedly did a great job.

'I would snatch him away from her. How could she get a guy like him?' Her thoughts came into my mind.

I smirked to myself.

She stood there while I checked the file. More thoughts came into me. She was thinking about how to degrade Carson so I could start disliking her. She thought of the moves she would make on me and the things she would do to break Carson.

I scoffed and that got her attention.

"Is there any problem?" She asked concerned but the concern wasn't for the files.

"Are you even aware that all you think about is only Carson?" I asked as I placed the file on the desk.

She blinked at me. She couldn't understand what I asked.

"Err... Sir, what do you mean by that?" She chuckled nervously but I could feel she wasn't nervous but shocked. She was debating in herself if what I said was truly what she heard or not.

"Why do you hate Carson?" I asked and that made her eyes round and she stood there frozen.

"I-I don't hate her." She chuckled and said, "Is that what Carson told you about me?"

"She has been just a little angry with me. That is the reason she told you that I guess?" She added.

I gave her a smile as my palms clasped together.

"You know, Emily, you amuse me." I said as the corners of my lips curled up and she thought she got a chance but the words froze her.

"You amuse me greatly but not as much as Carson." I said and her face fell. Anger shot through her but she didn't let it show it on her face.
