I look at Lucifer who is smirking. Of course he would be.

"Long time no see. How have you been?" The woman asks.

"Great as usual"

She giggles.

"Of course you are. I see that you have a new P.A. Is she doing her job well?" I'm not that new.

"It depends on the work you're referring to"

"I am talking about work here in the office or is there some other work she is doing? I saw you guys on the news the other day. She looks beautiful and that ass is wow. Your type of girls" His expression gets more serious.

Who is this lady?

"Samantha why did you come here?"

She stand from the table walking closer to him. She stop beside him and sit at the edge of the table.

"I'm having a party at my company office tomorrow. I just came to tell you. You can invite whoever you want" She lean down to kiss him and he moves his head.

Lucifer didn't allow her kiss him?

"You couldn't call me over the phone to tell me that?" She looks this way and I quickly move before she sees me.

She has a company. So she is one of those wealthy people. It's obvious there's something between them or was. Why wouldn't he want her to kiss him?

I shake my head.

That's none of my business.

I feel the urge to call Tina, but I'll talk to her some other time. Daniel always checks up on me, but I guess he wouldn't want to annoy me anymore. I need to get something to eat I'm starting to feel hungry now.

I just realize that Lucifer did not ask me if I wanted to stop at home anymore. He must have asked Miss Leona about it, but he still should've asked me if I wanted to stop there. Though I did tell him that the reason for wanting to go was to get those specific things.

I sigh and take up my bag to head out for lunch.

It seems Samantha took her leave. Lucifer looks up at me.

"I'm going for lunch"

"Miss George just a minute"

I walk to his desk.

I keep a pleasant face.

"Did you remember anything else?"

This reminds me.

"I need to ask you something that's been bothering me for a while now"

"Sure have a seat"

"No. I'm going to have lunch first" He nods. Just before I turn away I glimpse the expression where he looks like he suddenly has the burden of the world on him again.

***

I went outside because I want to feel the fresh air on my skin.

There is a food shop on this same land, but further down. The owner of it asked Lucifer if he could sell him that piece of land, but instead he leased it to him.

I only want some fruits and 2 chicken legs with an orange juice.

I sit at a table by myself at the gasibo on the outside of this compound. There isn't much people out here. The few that are keeps glancing at me.

While eating I see someone sit in front of me at this same table.

When I look up it's Sherian, putting her food down looking at me with those innocent eyes of hers.

"What do you want?" I couldn't help myself. If she's here to provoke me she better be careful because I'm not in the mood for this!

I shut my eyes pushing back the anger I am feeling knowing very well what can happen if I don't control it.

"Let me be honest with you. Lucifer and I did have something some time back" That makes me get even angrier.

Come on control yourself. I just keep looking at her. Can't she just move? I don't need to hear this.

"Why do you think I need to know that?"

"I'm not strong like you" She reaches out and touch my hand, almost immediately I feel myself calming down. It's not because of her touch, but because of what she said. It's reminding me that I need to control myself for the safety of everyone and myself.

I move my hand away from hers.

"Lucifer is a powerful man. When I just started working here I felt I couldn't do my job well, and I was I little scared of him. I thought getting closer to him will make me feel less scared and more comfortable. I know I'm attractive enough for any guys to like me, so I seduced him. He noticed I was uncomfortable and told me I didn't have to continue if it was making me uncomfortable. I really wasn't because I felt guilty for cheating on my boyfriend" So she did it because she was scared? Not because Lucifer purposely charmed her to do it?

But she can do her job well so I don't get it.

"So I agreed and stopped and he never spoke about it, and it was as if it never happened" Well that sounds like him, pretending things never happened.

"Why is it important for you to tell me this?" For some reason I feel sorry for her.

"Because I don't want you to think I'm trying to get close to you for the wrong reasons. Maybe I would not have said anything if Diana did not mention it because it's in the past. I just want you to know" Oh.

Diana mentioned it?

Oh yeah my memory issues.

I need for whatever Lucifer is going to do will happen soon enough because my memory is just not what it should be. I need everything back.

"It doesn't bother me"

"Maybe. Also, you may not notice but I think he likes you"

"He likes anything that wears skirt or a dress, who knows maybe even pants"

She laughs and it makes me smile. I realise I'm not angry at all anymore.

"Seriously though. I've never seen him carry any worker in his vehicle, only his associates and that was like one time. This morning he pulls up in a Rolls-Royce with you in it. I've never seen it at work. I'm sure you notice everyone looking at you"

I'm not even going to look at them. The slightest thing can trigger my powers.

I frown.

"So aren't you curious if something is going on between us?"

She shrugs.

"I'm only human, but it's none of my business" And I owe no one any explanation. If I should explain myself what would I say anyways? That he's going to help me get my memories back while protecting me from a killer? Not to even forget the part that I'm staying at his home?

It's best I don't say anything. She seems to have good intentions, but I'm going to keep my business to myself.

I just giggle.

I continue to eat and so did she.

***

I ignore the stares of some of the employees and enter into the office. Some doesn't seem to care about this whole Lucifer and I situation, while some just won't mind there own business.

I stop in my tracks when I see Lucifer close a door that even I didn't know about.

What the fuck?
