Finding Time | ON HOLD |

Chapter II

Chapter Two:Kidnapped

.•*•.

I was one hundred and fifty percent sure that I looked like a fish out of water right now.I kept replaying what he told me in my head but it was not processing.

"I want you to help me find Time."

I struggled to form a coherent sentence as soon as I opened my mouth to say something,all that came out was laughter. I don't know why I was laughing but I was.

Xander Eros looked every bit of irritated by this as his dark eyes pierced through my teary,green ones.

I took a deep breath to calm myself."This is a joke right?You are doing this because I wasted your time by being late so now this your way of wasting my time.Well guess what,I have no time to waste."I waved my wrist that held my watch that no longer worked as if to prove my point.

He keeps watching me.

I sigh,"Please,Mr Eros."I pleaded."I really need this job and I know well and good that I have not made the best impression thus far and if that is what gave you the idea to do this then..."I trailed off raising my hands in surrender. I grabbed my bag from the floor and stood to leave.I walked to the door and just as I was about to grab the handle,it disappeared.

I gasped and patted the place where the door handle once sat.I pushed on the door but it would not budge.I heard a chuckle from behind and I quickly turned and glared at the man in the black suit."Sit down, Genesis."He commands softly.

I cross my arms defiantly. "What happened to the door handle?"

"Genesis." His voice is deathly calm and it sends shivers down my spine but I don't back down.If he is going to be pulling some magic-juju-type shit again then can I please not be present.

"Xander." I say in the same tone since we mutually agreed to be on first name basis.

He slowly raises his left eyebrow and gives a small smile of amusement. "Take a seat,will you?"

"No thank you.I prefer stan-" Black flashes in my vision and I am suddenly seated back in the chair where I was five minutes ago."What is happening?"I ask in fear.

He gives a sinister smile and this sends my fear shooting through the roof."I told you,Genny.I want you to help me find Time."

I frown at the nickname."Don't call me that."I grumble. "And plus,if I was late,how in hell's bells do you think I can 'find Time'?I can barely find my socks at my apartment."

"I've been watching you,Miss Kuëne." He states,unashamed of how creepy that sounds and I tell him just that.

"Two things." I hold up my pointer and middle finger-which I am incredibly tempted to show him."One;what the f×ck kind of trickery did you just pull right now?"

"Language,Miss Kuëne. I do not appreciate cussing in my office." He says.

"And I don't appreciate people pulling magic tricks on me but..." I throw my hands up and bring them down,slapping my thighs.
