A Deal With The Devil

Chapter 5

.....

Isabella woke up in the middle of the night. Her anger towards Simon already subsided when her temper cool down already, but she still couldn't forget what he is and it scares her.

She was quite thirsty and decided to go downstairs to have some water.

She opened the fridge and saw nothing but fresh milk.

Where could the water be?

Well, fresh milk is not bad so she decided to drink it to ease her thirst.

She passed some doors where she heard a voice. A voice of a man. The conversation can't be that audible but she can figure out that it was Simon's voice snarling at someone but she cant heard the voice of the person he was talking to.

She pinned one of her ears in the door and tried to eavesdrop but the person in his convo is impossible to hear. It took her like five minutes to stay there while she's drinking the milk but so only she realized that it was already empty. She decided to put the glass in the kitchen but then she decided to give him coffee.

His probably working till now. So I better give him coffee

She tried to search for a coffee beans and indeed found one, he has an espresso maker. She was so amazed by the maker. It was surely new, not like hers that is been undergoing hundreds of repair to be used in her shop.

.....

Finally, the espresso was done so she tuned her heels to his room. She knocked. But unfortunately she didn't heard any response so she decided to open the door slowly.

"Simon?" She tried to get his attention.

She finally figured out that he was talking on the phone. Snarling at a person. She was scared of him again.

"You're fired!!!" He snarled on the phone and threw it on his bed.

"What are you doing here?!" He snarled at her.

"I... I made a coffee for you."

"You didn't knocked!"

"I did. But it seems that you didn't notice."

She took a step towards his big mahogany table and placed the coffee there.

"I only drink black." He said while towering her.

"Okay. I... I'll just make a new one----" she stammered by his behavior.

Why would he buy an espresso maker if he only drink black?

"No. Just leave it there. "He ordered

She left the coffee there and stormed out of the room.

As soon as she was gone. He instantly held the cup and smelled the aroma. He closed his eyes simmering the good smell of the coffee.

He sipped the coffee and his stress and tiredness slowly vanished. The coffee is so good. He tasted the best coffee in his life ever. He wondered how she made the espresso so perfect, she even made a heart design on it. He got into several coffee shops in New York but her coffee is just the most delicious coffee he'd ever taste.

........

Simon just got out of the shower when suddenly his phone rang, he checked the I.D and realized that it was his mom calling him.

"What do you want mom." He said in monotone showing his mom a rude gesture.

"Son, we need to discuss a little issue about our family."
