Immediately, I put on my soft, simpering face.
"Mr. Langoski, how wonderful it is to make your acquaintance." I say with a smile.
He points at the cushioned seat across from him.
"Sit."
I walk over and place my trench coat on the arm before sitting down. The man I saw earlier comes in a side door with a platter in one hand, now full of cheeses, meats and fruits. In the other, a bottle of wine and two glasses. He sets these on the table. Mr. Langoski waves his hand at the charcuterie platter.
"Please, eat."
I reach for a cracker and the man places the two glasses to my right.
"What kind of wine is it?" I ask.
"Merlot from the 1960's. Very rare these days."
I hum appreciatively and reach for the bottle. It is already uncorked and smells of plum and black cherry. The little pipet of nightshade poison is tucked neatly up my sleeve, ready to be used. It should be just enough to make him very sick, but not quite enough to kill him. He'll stay that way for five days before he dies. Plenty of time for me to get away. I pour two glasses and squirt the poison into the left one. I hand him it and he sips, smacking his lips after. I also take a sip of mine, and the flavours of black cherry, plum, vanilla, and cedar wash over my tongue.
"Hm, that is good." I take another sip.
Time Skip To End Of Meeting
"Thank you for your time, Mr. Langoski. I hope I get to see you again."
"Of course, Mrs. Mariya. It was a pleasure to meet you."
As I walk back down the stairs, I call Mike for my ride.
Time Skip To When Nyx Walks Into Her Hotel Room (Cause I'm Lazy AF)
Yawning, I throw my coat over the vanity, and my hat on top. Still in my soft shirt and leggings, I start to fall onto my bed when I spot the dark, floppy haired man from The Bastard's casino sitting on one of my armchairs... The barrel of a gun pointing at me.
I bolt upright and reach for my hat.
"Who are you?" I yell.
"Calm down. I'm not here to hurt you. I just want answers."
I roll my eyes. "Hell, yeah. It's definitely like I would answer your questions willingly."
He leans forward. "Then I'll just have to convince you."
A/N: What do you think is gonna happen? Hehehe. Byee!
