Control (Overhaul X Reader)

Chapter 9

The day was finally here and you were all prepped up. You honestly thought ordering this dress was a good idea back then, but now you questioned yourself. It looked classy and elegant, but perhaps a little too revealing. Backless, plunging neckline, and a slit exposing your thigh... was it too late to change your look now?

The answer was yes as you saw your phone light up with a message from Overhaul, telling you he would be picking you up in an hour. You sighed as you examined yourself in the mirror. Hopefully he would like it and not think you were desperate...

Desperate for what exactly? No, you didn't dress to impress him, you dressed up to intimidate a yakuza boss, just be an eye candy as Overhaul had instructed you to and hopefully make more connections. That's all there was, stop feeling so nervous. Looking good was the only job asked of you, it would all be fine.

You paced around, thinking of plans in case the worst case scenarios happen but hopefully everything would go just fine. He promised he had it all covered and so far he had been nothing but reliable. The time of judgement arrived as you saw the black car park in your parking lot through your security cameras and Overhaul stepped out wearing a dark grey suit. Oh dear, he was wearing a suit, that was not good for your heart. Relax...

You decided to just wait by the elevator to save yourselves time. Your heart pounded in your chest as the elevator opened up. He was still wearing his plague doctor mask but the suit looked really good on him.

"Good evening, Overhaul." You gave him a bow although not too deep as you didn't want to show more of your cleavage than there already was. "Shall we get going?"

His golden irises studied you, raising his brow ever so slightly. Oh no, he was judging you and your self-consciousness was killing you.

"You certainly didn't hold back." He commented.

Oh no, it was too much, you knew it! Damn your buyer's impulse. "Well, you did tell me to dress up." You laughed, trying not to sound nervous as you quickly stepped into the elevator, hoping the quick movement could escape from his intimidating and judgmental gaze.

"I didn't mean you had to look so irresistible." Wait, what? Blood rushed to your face and you averted your eyes. Did you just hear that right? "This might actually work in our favor. Let's leave." He pressed the button of the elevator which descended to the parking lot.

Overhaul helped you get into the car and sat beside you as Chrono drove you to the Tandeki Ikka's residence. As you arrived several guards stopped the car, and talked on the phone for a while until letting you in.  You exited the car and Overhaul guided you, his gloved hand touching your bare back very lightly as if he was afraid to touch you.

The residence was filled with fancy décor although it was not as clean the Shie Hassaikai's and you saw Overhaul tense up a bit as he noticed this. You finally reached the venue of the party which could be described as both classy and rowdy. A buffet and a bar was set up while topless dancers entertained the celebrants. You wondered if the Shie Hassaikai also threw parties like this but Overhaul probably had a more refined taste. Who knows, maybe he does to raise the morale of his men. Well, it was none of your business.

"Chisaki." An older bulky man smoking a cigarette approached you. This must be the head.

"Don't call me that." He growled, a lot more irritated by this gesture than you expected. The man paid no mind and looked you up and down instead. You cringed.

"Did you come bearing gifts?"

"Don't delude yourself. You know who she is."

"The leading chick from (y/c). What are you both doing in my party? I don't recall inviting you."
