Arcane - Understood by few, mysterious or secret. And thats exactly what he was. Mysterious. Understood by few, keeping so many secrets in his cold, dark eyes.
And how did you manage to get yourself in this? Just a few hours ago you were living your boring life. A 9-5 job that pays shit for the things you do and the over time you worked. Your small apartment that needed to be cleaned up because it smelt like coffee after you splashed half a cup of it on your rug but didnt have enough time to clean it up.
Now you were looking into the eyes of the man you believed to be death. His dark eyes held no light, no emotion, nothing. Just bitter pits of darkness.
Four hours earlier:
Coffee can either be your best friend or your worst enemy. Today its both. On your way rushing out the door to your boring office job, you managed to spill half a cup of your (fave coffee) on the carpet. And boy was that sure to stain considering you didnt even have enough time to clean it up.
You made it into the office at 9:00 on the dot and put your things on your desk. You had a meaning at 9:15 sharp, and today you had to work overtime, and the best part? You didnt get paid for over time since youre salary, not hourly. Today instead of 9-5, it was 9-8. A whole 11 hour shift, making not enough money to a boss that never appreciated anyone besides himself and the women that slept with him. You had always kept your distance from him, always having a bad feeling.
He wasnt even the one who hired you. His assistant did. He interviewed you and hired you in the spot, telling you that because youre an attractive view to keep your distance from the boss. Its not like you couldnt get another job. It was just really convenient for you.
The meeting started and you sat at the long desk, acting like you werent catching the glances the boss was throwing at you. It was only recently that he had noticed you, despite you being there for four months. And you didnt see why he kept staring at YOU in particular. All of the women he slept with wore skirts much shorter than yours, and half of their tits were out with their blouses partially buttoned. You wore a simple, a little above the knee pencil skirt with a red button up that had the sleeves rolled up. Its not like you were dressed like the other women.
The meeting was some bullshit about the sales going down after it had just peaked. Not that you really cared, whether it was going down or going up you were still paid the same amount. Paid too little to care.
After the meeting you sat at your desk. Most of your coworkers had their desks decorated to the brim with pictures and little knick knacks. Yours held simple office supplies with some things scattered here and there.
"Miss Y/N." The boss greeted with a nod, trying to seem cool.
"Mr. Lim." You greeted back, not taking your eyes off the screen.
It was finally 7:40 and you stretched. You started to pack your things, wanting to run out as soon as you can. You finished up your work and went to head out before you heard someone clear their throat. Mr. Lim beckoned you up the stairs and you cautiously followed. He went out onto the balcony of the big building. You felt uncomfortable, as everyone else was leaving and it was now just the two of you. You stepped onto the balcony that overlooked the river. He turned towards you and you felt even edgy about the creepy smile he flashed at you.
"I love looking over the river. Its a beautiful view." He said.
You nodded in agreement.
"You're an even more beautiful one." He said.
"Thank you." You said lowly.
"Why dont you come home with me? Ill make you dinner or buy you whatever you like. Spend the night and we can go shopping tomorrow. That skirt is nice but your legs would look better in something a little more shorter." He said with a wide grin.
