Mscopffia

2 | Leonardo Hernandez

(Selena's POV)

We walked together in her office and she looked serious while walking down the hall in confidence. Everyone bowed at her and people even loved that she gave them the slightest attention. Talk about a reputation! There were glanced of fear—I shared the same one. There were some whispers but nothing more than that.

She stopped at the door, opened it and waited for me to go inside first. I didn't look at her as I did and she laughed slightly at my reaction. I feel the rise in my pulse and the beat of my heart going wild but I cannot show so on the outside. I am not afraid of her I just. . . this whole experience feels weird. I prepared myself a month for this day, for this interaction however it's still takes me by surprise. I am still out of words. Maybe it is my anxiety getting the better of me, I just need to calm down and everything will be alright. Although seeing how she made sure no one was outside before she came back in, didn't really reassure me of 'everything good'.

"We have to discuss your first mission." She announced.

(Leonardo's POV)

"So what made you so interested in this job?" I asked.

"You." She replied.

I would say I'm disgusted but she isn't the only one who has said that today. Honestly right now I'd be amazed if anyone said anything other than that. I have been interviewing at least fifty girls and they all had that same response. It's more tiresome rather than disgusting. However Aless. . . no matter how many times he hears it, he won't stop that grimacing from becoming worse in his face. Cal just stays quietly watching the women, showing them the exit and bring other ones in while I enjoy the show of boredom.

"You." Another one.

"You." And another one.

"But of course, you are my target." This one.

Of course not everyone is that dull. There are many good cases. . . "Wait. . . this isn't a 'have free sex with Leonardo Hernandez' gift card?"

Aless throws his hands in the air. I chuckle.
"If there were cards like that on the world, I wouldn't be the most wanted bachelor, darling." I may give her one for the effort though. "Next."

"Ah! Leonardo it's truly you! I'm such a fan! I have always watched you from my television and I used every money I had left to come and visit you! You are a true idol! I want you! I need you! You have taught me so many things and I—"

"Somebody show that lady the exit and be kind enough to give her some money as well." If she stays in Italy, I'm moving out.

"Nex—"

"No. Today is over, you all can come by tomorrow at the three pm in the afternoon." I announced. I need at least three years to recover from everything I have heard today.

Well on the bright side maybe this gives them time to improve their skills on flirting. Who even goes in a room with the intention of having free sex with someone? Nevertheless maybe, at least I can give them so time to improve their acting or their. . . pick up lines—If you can call them that.

I grab a cigarette and search for my lighter, Aless shows on my right and lights it up for me. I put it in my mouth and I allow the smoke get out of my mouth and fall outside the balcony I am currently standing. This image of the city truly calms me down, together with the sun setting slowly and giving the moon room to shine. It's so peaceful and calm. I could stand here all day and night, to just enjoy the sun rise and set, to see the moon shine and fade, to watch the stars, the cars passing through.
