My Demon King from Hell

Chapter 3-Offer

Coming out of the shower Isa stood in front of the mirror starting her morning skincare routine and make up and her mind automatically drifted thinking of the past month. While Mr. Norman was supposed to stay here for a week because of various reason it kept on extending and they will be finally leaving today. She has been working hard a lot recently. Since she knew that Rubiks had to be acquired she was on pins and needles despite knowing that it is inevitable and after knowing that it would be Phoenix Tech. she was relieved a little. While it was a relatively new company, their achievements and innovations didn't let anyone look down on them.

'Phone! That's my phone ringing! When did it go off? Hopefully not long before and nothing urgent.'

Forcefully looking away from her image in the mirror she looked all over the counter looking for her phone in vain.

'Where is it? Where did I last see my phone? Wait! The phone ringing sounds a little far off..?? Bedroom? Yes bedroom!'
