SHES THE DEVIL [MIKHAIAH]

CHAPTER 5

Colet ruffled her hair, staring at the luxurious wooden door in frustration. Waking Mikha up is so scary, she'd rather be chased by a tiger.

Today was Sunday, she was supposed to be relaxing in her apartment playing games or going to the mall to buy that jacket she'd been eyeing since last week.

And she couldn't understand why Mikha liked sleeping here, in a secret room in her office. Maybe she was avoiding Mr. Lim's sudden visit.

There was a loud bang inside the room, Mikha must have smashed her digital alarm again.
Colet glanced at her clock its 5 pm. She sighed and started knocking loudly on the door.

"Leave me alone Cole" came Mikha's hoarse voice from inside.
Colet hesitated.

She finally opened the door slowly.

The room was dark, there was only a light from the half closed bathroom the silhouette of Mikha sitting on her bed was visible.
"Are you deaf Colet? Or are my words not clear enough?"
"I'm sorry, I........"

Colet didn't continue her words when Mikha got off her bed and slowly walked to her "I'm sick of hearing that word" she growled

"You should prepare for dinner tonight" Colet bowed her head.
Mikha exhaled in annoyance "What time is it?" She asked "Past 5 Miss" Mikha headed to the bathroom "Wait for me in the sofa outside" she said, Colet bowed her head then turned around.

                                            —————————————————

Mikha gave her key to the valet parking guy who took it immediately, the man bowed to her and got into the car.

"Let's go" Mikha claimed the stairs to the lobby of the fancy restaurant, Colet followed.
"Good evening Miss Lim, your family and Ricalde family are already in our exclusive room" the restaurant manager greeted her, he then guided them he opened the glass door.

2 servants standing at the entrance bowed when they arrived, Mikha and Colet went inside. A large dining table with 8 chairs was in the center of the room, a crystal chandelier hung above it.

Seven of the eight seats were already occupied.

Mrs. Lim got from her seat when she saw Mikha, she went over to her "My dear" she hugged Mikha and kissed her cheek. Colet bowed to the middle aged woman.

Mikha took off her coat and give it to Colet "Wait for me on the sofa, order what you want" she said, Colet bowed her head.

"Come on" Mrs. Lim smiled and hugged Mikha's arm, pulling her towards the table. Mikha bowed her head to Mr. and Mrs. Ricalde, she then sat in her chair near Jhoanna.

"Aren't you going to say hello to your fiancé?" came Mr. Lim's voice, he looked at Mikha sharply.
Mikha didn't answer.

Maloi flicked her hair "You looked tired Mikha, are you ok?" She smiled and drank her mineral water.
Mikha gave her a hateful look.

"What's wrong with your daughter Michael? I don't like the way she looks at Maloi" Mr. Ricalde said.

"Behave yourself Mikha"came Jhoanna's whisper "Don't tell me what to do" Mikha growled.
