Love in Numbers| Heartsteel x Fem Reader!

Dealbreaker

"Life's a losing game when you don't play."

-mxmtoon, fever dream

You wake up to the sun shining through your blinds. Sitting up in bed stretching, you remembered all of the exciting things that were going to take place today. Evelyn had texted you late last night inviting you to a local restaurant where you were going to sign the deal with Heartsteel's manager. You felt giddy and eager, ready to start this huge new chapter in your career. You heard a buzz and grabbed your phone to see who it was.

Bad Bitch Kali:

  Hey! My boss is letting me take a super long lunch today because I'm gonna work some overtime, want to grab lunch in about an hour? ❤️ 

You smiled at her message, but it suddenly fell, realizing you have to meet Evelyn for lunch to sign your contract.

Me: 

I would love to, but I really can't. I have to sign that deal with Heartsteel :(

You didn't get a response, but she read your message. You know for a fact Kali has been let down a lot ever since you got your huge break. Sometimes you wonder if she regrets pushing you so hard to go for your dream, but you know without her, you wouldn't be where you are today. Not struggling, living the dream every single day, traveling, it was everything you wanted it to be, and more.

You checked the time and realized you slept in way too long and only had 45 minutes to get ready and meet Evelyn. No wonder the sun woke me up, you thought. You never slept in that late. You quickly ran to the bathroom and got started on your routine and makeup. You decided to keep it casual, throwing on a cute skirt and top, paired with a jacket. You practically fell down the stairs running towards your shoe closet. Your threw on your platform sandals, grabbed your bag and ran towards your car.

You flew down the road, maybe breaking a few laws here and there, but who's really counting? You parked into a spot where you saw a very glamorous Evelyn stood. She was wearing a black suit top with some buttons open exposing her cleavage, a tight black skirt, and some black heels. Her ears had these huge dangly hoops, exposed because her hair was on top of her head in a bun.

"What's up sexy, you free this afternoon?" You joked walking up to her. You noticed Evelyn not even acknowledge your joke, as she usually laughs and jokes back. She looked stern and serious.

"Now is NOT the time for jokes, Y/N. We're about to go over the biggest deal POTENTIALLY of your career. I need to be focused and so do you. Why did you dress down? We're supposed to show this manager you're the real deal, and you're wearing some outfit that makes you look like a teenager."

You know never to take Evelyn too seriously, as she does really care for your career, but in this moment, you feel like she's more nervous for HER career than yours. You looked at your reflection in the mirror, looking at your clothes, you thought it looked cute and cozy, but I guess Evelyn was right.

"Eve, it doesn't look like they're here yet, I can just grab some clothes from my car, I know I might have some extras," You say trying to lighten the mood.

"No need, I already see them," Evelyn says walking towards the main entrance. You simply just follow behind her. 

There were two men walking towards you two. One was taller and had a beard, and the other was shorted and had his hair in a ponytail.

"Hello, you must be-" Evelyn got cut off by the taller man with the beard.

"Perseus, you may have heard others can me Pantheon, but you may call me Perseus," The man says stretching his hand out towards Eve. She looks absolutely starstruck. "I am the manager for Heartsteel."
