I reached over the table to touch the striking man sitting in front of me just to make sure I am hallucinating and he is a figment of my wild imagination but he slapped my hand away.
I backed away and sat down with a thud. I blinked at him to process the grim reality for straight two minutes.
"Who are you?" I whisper after scarcely finding my voice.
"Dollface, I am a demon whom you just summoned" he answers in a bored tone.
I grimaced at the nickname he just gave me and take a good look at him.

His face morphed like he is asking for some sort of strength to deal with me, "This is going to be a lot harder than I have imagined." I hear him whisper while he is busy facepalming his handsome face.
