Olivia

I didn't get much sleep. Lukewarm water helped my muscles to relax. I look at the bathtub. Still, I don't get time to enjoy this. Maybe later.
Wore a black skirt with a little slit on the back and a white shirt. Brush the hairs and put on a light shade of lipstick. I slid the coat and grab the files. Take a last glimpse, head towards Devil's room. Before I even knock, he opened the door, fully dressed Mr. devil standing in front of me, boring his eyes into mine.

"Sir, we are getting late. you have to eat breakfast too". His blue eyes checking me from top to bottom.

"Miss.Reed if we are getting late, then you should stop admiring me".He winked. Woah!! He fucking winked at me. Is he copying me?

I move back and he heads towards where the bodyguards cover him from everywhere. It seems so awkward in public when people staring at you. Some group of girls on the right started taking his pictures. I'm fucking hungry why the hell didn't they stop in the hotel's restaurant. They are heading outside where black SUVs' waiting for us.

My belly is growling for food. One of his bodyguards looks at me and I shyly smile at him and jump into the car. Mr.Devil is working on his laptop, I slightly look at him with the side of my eye.

"Enough with the staring, Miss Reed"
Ugh!!! How he knew that he was busy with his work. Fuck. I turn my face and chew the sides of my mouth.

"I was looking at the view, don't flatter yourself".Fortunately, beach view came into his side.

"Do you want to come on this side?"
He raised one brow, how people do that. Like raising one brow is super sexy but it is so fucking difficult.

"No, am good here".

When we reached there, I asked him that am going to the restroom, and he moves to the conference room.
I look at my reflection, everything seems perfect except my hungry stomach. When I open the door a familiar face comes into my Vision.
Nicholas Brown looks pretty smart in his expensive grey suit.
He smiled at me and kissed me on both cheeks. It's quite normal for Spanish blood. He was with a redhead secretary and my belly growled, I smiled sheepishly.

"Just hungry" I place my hand on my stomach, squeeze it a little.

"Oh! I see he is a workaholic and couldn't care less about the people around him".
True that but I couldn't let him say that as after all am working for him and he pays me well as well." No it's not like that".

"Sarah, do you have chocolate?", he asked his secretary who gives me a weird look may be pissed. She searches her bag and pulled out the Dove milk chocolate bar. I can imagine how difficult for her to give chocolate to another person.

"Eat it first and then come to the conference room". He is looking like a god to me with angel wings and a halo behind his head.

"Thank you, Nic".He looks at me with chocolate eyes. Before he said anything. I saw Mr.Devil looking at me with those devilish eyes, I rush and wave back to Nic.

"What were you doing there with him" His jaw clenched with anger and he is not happy with me having a conversation with him.

"Let's go"He pulled me inside the room.

"At least let me eat this, am hungry". I whispered. several people sitting on a big round table.

"Don't you eat anything for breakfast? He whispered in my ear while smiling at others, we sit on chairs around the table.

"No, I even asked you to have breakfast before coming here. But you just jump into your fucking Suv".
He was shocked. Doesn't he know that? Why he is acting dumb all of a sudden.Fuck!! My language. I place a hand on my mouth.

"I don't eat before the meeting, Miss Reed. I thought you ate something". Before I said anything a few more, people grab their seats and the meeting started with my hungry stomach.

It's been an hour, but still, they discussing something partnership, Automobiles, construction. Ugh!! my head is spinning. I don't think so, I can control this anymore. I look at Nic, he is looking at me, he asked me from his hand gestures. Did I eat anything?
I shake my head in disagreement.

And Mr.devil is indulged in the conversation.

"I need a break".
Suddenly Nic got the attention and other show annoying look to him. He is helping me. How he is so good?. Mr.Devil growled at him for being unprofessional. Nic ignored him and hold my arm and place the other hand on my shoulder. He takes me to the cafeteria of the hotel. I wait for him there. I don't know what he is doing, my head is aching badly. I don't have any energy to speak. Now I get it, why mom always yells at me when I skip breakfast.
This is so annoying.

I saw my angel with white wings coming with a burger, sandwich, and water. He places the tray in front of me.

"Eat Olivia but slowly".I passed him a smile and grab the burger and take a big bite without even thinking that am sitting in front of Brown constructions owner.

I gulp down the bite which blocks my food pipe. (Cough)

"I told you to eat slowly Olivia" He taps on my back several times. He just met me once and he is so generous and gentle towards me. His tanned skin looks damn good on him.

When I get relief from coughing. I saw someone standing beside my chair and when I look above. I saw Mr.Devil standing there with annoying expressions.

I try to stand but immediately Nic grabbed my arm and asked me to eat the food. Nic blocks the way and stands in front of Mr.Devil. They are almost the same height and I felt the spark they are emitting through their eyes. I need to eat it first before jumping into a fight. Energy is an important element to fight against a Devil.

"What the hell Nicholas" Mr.Devil yelled at him.

"That's what I have to ask Daxton" Nic is still calm trying to control his anger as he clenched his fists.

"You crossed the line this time". Mr. Devil's skin is getting red and his nostrils flared with anger.

"Huh. Seriously. You just care about yourself. You selfish prick".Nic eyes get wide, they are eye to eye, their chests are even colliding. I gulp down the water immediately.

"She is my fucking secretary. Get the hell out of here".Mr.Devil yelled.
I jump into them and place my hands on Mr. Devil's chest and try to push him which is quite difficult. He is not even moving an inch. So I changed the person and moved to Nic and try to calm him rather than wasting my little energy on Mr.Devil.I try to convince Nic.

"Nic, please. Stop!!"
He moved backward and take a deep breath. And they make a little gap between each other.

"She is going to faint you asshole. At least learn to take care of your people if you lose--".

In a blink of an eye, Mr.Devil grabbed Nic from the collar.
"Complete the word and I'll rip your fucking heart. Do you get it" His words are dangerous and the atmosphere gets tensed? Fuck!! I jump into their fight again.

"Please, Sir. Leave nic's Collar" I pushed Mr.Devil with full force and he loosens his grip.
I said Thankyou to Nic for saving my life. He gave me his phone and asked me to save my number, without a second thought I did it immediately and he left.But he left me with a turmoil in my brain. Mr.Devil and his picture on his wallpaper, they look younger than now and there's one person more.

Where Mr.Devil standing there with his mountainous arrogant behavior. Without uttering a single word I head towards the conference room.

"I haven't finished yet". He said in his deep voice yet calm. I turned in the hallway and he was standing behind me.

"Yes Sir". I said calmly. I don't want to create a scene and don't have the energy though.

"You can go and complete your brunch. I can handle it here".He said while scratching his neck. How he turned his anger into calmness just in a second.

"Thank you, Sir. But you have already done enough" I gave him a plain smile and leave him in the hallway and join others in the conference room.

It took almost an hour to agree on who is going to get the deal. Unfortunately, we lose. Nic's Redhead secretary smirk at me and I ignored her and grab my bag. They are the ones who got the contract. Mr.Devil is burning with rage because of the former fight and now he loses the contract against Brown constructions which addition of salt to a wound.

I got out of the building quickly and wait to lean on the SUV door for Mr.Devil where a bodyguard named James standing.

"It's so irritating".
He gave me a strange look. I ignored him, I don't want to have a conversation with anyone. I hate being here. Mr.Devil came into my vision and I don't want to face him. I immediately rush to another side where James opens the door for him. As he jumped into the car, I also did the same.

The atmosphere is quite tensed in the small space. I lay my head on the headrest looking at the view. How this sea is so calm, does it know that it makes happy to thousands of people? So peaceful, I just want to lay on the sand and don't want to think about anything. When these worries and problems are going to vanish from my life?  But that's how actually life works. Ups and downs are a part of life I know that. And I couldn't run from it, I have to face it. But this is so difficult.
Ugh!!. I want to scream.

I heard the screeching sound of tires and I jump from the car and rush to my room. I ordered juice and some snacks. I throw my bag, heels, coat in one corner.
Ahhhhh!! I scream so hard and running hands back and forth in my hair.
"This is annoying".

"Why the fuck do people have to fight on small things".

Ugh!! I don't want to end up being a small little insect in the fights of chickens.

They shared some past probably that's why Nic seems to say something personal which end up in a fight.

I slept for hours after eating snacks. I felt so relieved to get so bigger sleep but Someone knocked on the door and ruined my beauty sleep. I open the door, and the attendant seems surprised even terrified. My face,hair.
Fuck!! I smiled at him.

"Thank you".And instantly grabbed the dinner and shut the door.Mr.Devil asked them again.
Shit, I haven't call mom today. I placed the bowl on the side table and check the phone first.
It's a text message from an unknown number.

"Hello. Let's meet in the evening on the beach at 8. Hope you don't say no".

Phone slips from my hand.Terrified to even think of him. No, It can't be him.
How the hell did he get here?

I move back and forth in the room, running fingers in hairs in anxiety. What should I do?

I need to be careful and this time am going to negotiate with him. I put on my black leggings and tank top and gab a jacket.

I grab my suitcase and look for the metal product. Where is it?

I remember I kept it here. Something metal touches my fingers and crap!!
It slits, immediately I pulled out my pocket knife and licked the blood on my finger. It's a small cut, nothing has to worry about.

Where is the first aid box?
In a few seconds, the blood stopped and I found the bandage in the restroom. I still have few hours. In the meantime, my subconscious mind playing the conversation or things I have to say to make him believe that we have separate paths now.

Ugh!!
Eventually, only 20minutes left. I pulled sneakers and place the knife in the jacket's pocket. Just in case, things go downhill.

Boss bodyguards look at me with those suspicious eyes but I don't have time to waste. Lights reflecting water on the beachside. Several polls held those lights. Seems like the beach is decorated for a special ceremony.
This view is so calm and peaceful where there is chaos in inner me.

I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, adrenaline rushes in my body and I instantly react to the situation that it demands.
I pulled the knife from my pocket and turn instantly grabbing the back of his neck with one hand and my other hand holding a knife on his subclavian artery which would kill him in 3.5 seconds.

"Fuck!!"
Slipped from his mouth and I slid the knife back in my pocket.

"Woah!!
Sexy!!"

"What"? My eyes went wide. Nic fucking Brown. What the hell is he doing here?

"That move. You were so cool and quick a few seconds ago. Like a fucking Peregrine Falcon". He is so impressed. His eyes were sparkling like water. Is he insane?

"You are going to be dead meat in just 3 fucking seconds. Have you lost your mind"  I retorted?

"But you didn't kill me or do you have an ulterior motive". He raised his brows.

"What are you even doing here"?I place my hand on my forehead. And look for the person whom I was expecting to be here in minutes.

"I texted you. C'mon Olivia. You are expecting someone else"?.

"What"?I turned and my hair flips in one direction. I showed him my phone."This text"
"Is it sent by you"?

"Yes, it's me" Scratching his neck he told me.

"I just want to meet you. What are you even thinking of?. Why are you having a pocket knife?"
Shit, he is the one who texted me. And my shitty brain made up such a devastating story. Ugh!! What should I even do now?

"To kill someone".I smirked

"Fuck!!"Again slipped from his lips.

I laughed hard. To lighten up the mood and change his deadly perception about me. That am might be a killer.

"I'm kidding you know. It's just for safety". He smiled at me. I don't think so he believed me.

We walked on the edge of the beach, enjoy the waves and the shiny moon that sparkles on the beach water. It was so mesmerizing. I didn't ask him yet why Mr.Devil and his picture on his phone screen. That's not my place to ask. And I don't want to jump between them either.

Someone hollered at us.
" What the fuck are you doing here"?
