I ended up arriving late to the interview,and eventually failed, frustration etched across my face as I rolled my eyes in irritation.

Nevermind,I need to look for another job again,I'm done with this,it's all because of him!!!!

well he was the one who helped me from getting injured,even though he didn't meant to,but thanks to him.

My mood shifted as a message beeped on my phone -

*Beep...beep...*

*Gets a messages*
Huh!? Again?

I sighed and opened my inbox to see if there's any messages from boss.
And there was.

another mission awaited, demanding completion by midnight.

Ofcourse I had to accept the new mission,Even though I didn't wanted to,
because I had no option other than that.

After a while-

I dolled myself up, alot of heavy makeup, I felt like dying,
but it was nothing new to me,a cherry red juicy lipstick.

those plump and full lips of mine were probably looking super kissable,but that was a different case that i had noone to kiss.
to be honest,i really want a man who has big and firm shoulders for myself to kiss and love,a big boy?
As i said a man who has big and firm shoulders that guy from morning flashed at my mind.
Charlotte what's wrong with you? i told myself.

Umm...let's continue....

i want to experience and feel the warmth of a real and passionate kiss which contains love and affection.
Even the thought of it is super romantic.

My mind was full of these thoughts that I didn't even realized the time.

I stared at myself in the full mirror.

A cherry red bodycon prom dress,you could see the curves,a pair of black pencil heels,took my handbag,and yes most importantly my phone.
You probably know why.

What I wore:-

My makeup:-

I went to the location he mentioned about, It was a lavish prom party, The floor was of marble,it glimmered all over.

it looked so luxurious that even the deserts looked super expensive,i had to try some.

everyone was wearing a mask, oh?there's a masquerade going huh?

it'd be probably a pain in ass to find mr.Clarkson now.

I knew everyone around me were filthy rich,probably belonged from wealthy families.
There were hardly any woman there,the ones were for daddy issues,I knew it just by looking,but who cares,I'm here for my mission,I went to look for my target for today,grabbing a masquerade mask for myself from the table beside me.

I opened my phone and checked the targets name along with his photo,so it'd be easier for me to find him,oh so today's Target is the heir of Clarkson family.
but NOMATTER what
In this big crowd i could never find him,everyone was wearing a mask on their face,how am I supposed to find him?my bonus for today's mission gotta be double.

I looked around and saw that man from morning,isn't it is that arrogant guy from morning?i could say it just by looking at his big and firm shoulders- ahmm...ahm....

we made a eye contact,he broke of the eye contact in a single second,it wasn't like I was not going to,he continued to chat with the person beside him.

Then a perverted jerk approached me out of nowhere,it was not the first time,I'm done with these type of people's,who thinks they could get anyone by their so called "money".

"Hey lady?are you having fun here?"

"Ofcourse!"
*Buisness Smile*

I replied

Wow,i didn't even had to lift my finger and mr.clarkson appeared right in front of me,it's like the pray Is entering the lions dan by themselves.

"You seem alone,are there noone with you?"

He asked with a suspiciously perverted look on his face

"Ah-umm.."
I hesitated because if I say I came alone then he'd seek for chances.

I looked around nervously then saw that guy from morning walking towards my direction.

"nope,nope!!!i came here alone"

Don't worry Charlotte,you can fight it,the more you'll act nervous and weak the more you'll look suspicious and easygoing pray to the opponent.

I told myself at my mind

I looked at that guy from mornings direction again,he was still there,but more closer to me.

is he coming to me?maybe
As he got closer and closer,he stopped there,right beside me,and grabbed my waist gently but in a possesive tone.

Then that perverted jerk bowed slightly,and said
"How are you doing young master Ezekiel"

My eyes widened by hearing him,he was the heir of the Ezekiel family?the guy from morning,I had no words left but i kept a normal expression on my face.

*I stared at him*

That perverted jerk sided as soon as possible,maybe he missunderstood thinking that I'm Aden's partner,well it was reasonable enough.
Adel Ezekiel kindof impressed me by helping me out even though I'm a stranger to him.

Maybe.... Nothing......

That jerk was leaving now,oh nooo!!!i couldn't get any information out of him,my inner self was literally screaming. atleast i could've get something from him if he stayed for a bit more,but unfortunately i couldn't.

As soon as that perverted jerk left

"Thanks for the help mr. Ezekiel"
I said that by bowing slightly,even though I didn't meant to

He replied "my pleasure!"

I took a glass of red wine from the waiter passing by me,and we had a normal conversation even though he seemed uninterested.

I looked at the clock and it was almost 11 O clock,i promised my boss about submitting the information by 12Am,i should hurry up,and keep my words, because i never break my words.

While chatting with him I looked around to see if Jayson Clarkson was there or not,and surprisingly I saw him again.

Suddenly i heard a voice,a voice so hot,and deep,but yet cold, literally straight out of a movie.

"Are you looking for someone?"

Aden Ezekiel asked with no expression in his face,almost dry.

"No-nope,well i remembered something i had to do, I've to leave now"

I replied hesitantly

And went away from there before he could respond to me with anything,
I tried to keep an eye on mr. Clarkson,then saw him going to a private chamber with a woman,i could say that it was the daughter of the heroux family by just looking at her back.

Authors pov:-

As she was keeping eye on that man, someone mysterious was also keeping an eye on her from afar,who knew that someone who has idea about her darkest secrets was present here.
he smirked,then took a glass of red wine from the waiter and said in a low voice while smirking

"Work harder on your mission"

I reached home and submitted the information I got of mr.clarkson/Jayson Clarkson.

And felt something weird,but i ignored it,even while cooking my dinner,I felt like someone was staring right at my soul,but i thought maybe it was just my illusion.

Alot of days passed,new missions came,and i returned completing all of them,everything was going normal as usual,but the only change was the feeling of someone keeping an eye on me.

That day after coming back from work,I looked around my house to see if there was any hidden cameras there, because one of my female collogues adviced me to,after I told them about it,I saw none.

so I sighed in relief and sat down on my couch,when I sat down then a sudden loud noise came behind the back of my couch I was sitting on,my soul almost left my body,

I looked behind my couch and saw that the picture which was hanging in the wall fell,shattered pieces of glass was everywhere around it now,

I bent down to pick it but one of the pieces cut my fingers,making my index finger covered with fresh blood.
it wasn't a big wound so I ignored it,I took the photo frame in my hand and saw a button sized camera there,
soooo what do you mean?that someone was really keeping an eye on me?and came to my home to stick it here?maybe is that person still here?around me?maybe behind me?or under my bed like those tv series say.

My soul left my body now,I won't lie,

I went outside to throw it,I opened my apartments door and threw it on the dustbin which was located infront of my apartment.

the thought of someone coming to my house when I wasn't around was scaring the shit out of me.

how could they enter my house?does they have a spare key?

does that mean, whenever I'm not around they just come in-?
my index finger was still bleeding,a few drop of blood fell on the white tiled floor,making the blood look as dark as possible.
I left right away,and closed the door because it was almost midnight

I went to my bedroom and layed on my bed right away.

**Authors pov:-**

*Steps* who knew that someone would stand right outside her apartment after her closing the door,

That mysteriously suspicious man's fingers brushed against the crimson droplets scattered on the floor moments before.
Intently, he gazes at his blood-stained fingertips,taking every single drop out of it! and licked everything of his finger, maybe sucked?leaving no traces of her crimson blood.
while smirking in a mysteriously suspicious way.

And a suspicious sentence came out of his mouth,a slight whisper!

"Everythings going according to my plan, she's braver than I expected her to be"

He smirked in a sinister tone
