"You interest me, Ms. L/n."

"This interview is about you, so let's stay on track."

"Did I say something that bothered you?"

"No, you just think you're being sly."

———————————————————

//Your POV//

"How is it that I am the one being sly?" He asked, clearly amused.

"You're changing the subject to me, when all I want to do is get my work done. You already know about me. What else do you need to know?" I asked him.

"I do know a lot about you, but there are somethings that I don't and want to hear straight from the source. I honestly wouldn't be bothered with someone like you but there's something about you that makes it like you're hiding something. I'm getting intrigued," He explained.

"Look. I'm not one to say things about myself to people I don't know."

"I don't think that's what it's really about~" He put his head on his hands.

"Are you sure? Or are you just trying to fuck with me?" I got agitated.

I don't usually curse at clients but I couldn't stop myself this time.

"My, my aren't we angry? Is Y/n L/n getting mad because she's been outwitted for the first time?" Black Hat teased me.

"Don't call me by my first name," I warned him.

"Or what?"

I clenched my fist.

I held myself back, knowing if I tried anything that if I didn't lose my life I'd lose my job.

I took a deep breath and tried to keep my composure.

"Okay, since I don't want to lose my job or something, I'm going to try and keep calm."

"Good. Care to continue?"

"Yes."

And so, the interview went on.

Sometimes, he'd interrupt me and try to get me to break, but I managed to stay strong.

"Last question, any thoughts of selling the business?"

"Hm. I wouldn't think so. Once Flug dies then maybe. I'm immortal for the most part so that shouldn't really affect anything."

"And we're done," I sighed in relief.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"What?" I looked at him.

"I mean- Don't you have any questions yourself? This is all for a magazine, after all. Don't you personally wonder about anything?" He asked.

"I have no reason to."

"Then why are you doing this?" He asked, getting close to my face.

I was getting REALLY tired of the interview.

"Just because I'm doing this does not mean I'm interested. My boss asked me to do this and I aim to please. He may have asked me to take a stupid break, but that doesn't mean I'll actually do it."

"That's how you break your own mind," Black Hat gave me a smile.

Wanting to leave, due to getting a big headache from him, I begun to pack up my things.

"I have all the information I need. Thanks for your somewhat cooperation, Goodbye."

"Would you like me to walk you out?" He asked.

"No thank you."

"Alright then. Goodbye, Ms. L/n."

I left the office and closed the door behind me.

I rushed down the stairs not wanting to be in there any longer.

Once I was outside the main gate and practically ran down the street, I was home free.

"God...that was so fucking weird," I cursed under my breath.

I walked all the way back to the hotel and went straight to my room.

My mind was still racing.

My head was pulsing.

'Maybe a bath will calm me down.'

I started up the shower first and took off my clothes.

I thought it was gross to sit in my own filth so I
took a shower first.

I then began to fill the tub and stopped it once it was almost at the ledge.

I soaked in the bathtub, going over thoughts in my head.

'What the fuck was his problem? He was acting really weird.'

I sat in the tub for at least 30 minutes and soon got out.

I got dressed in a large T-shirt that sagged and revealed my right shoulder and shorts.

It was 4:00 so I thought that I should start writing the article or at least the draft.

I typed at my computer for at least 2 hours.

I finished the draft in the first hour and started the final project in the second, until I got hungry.

I called room service and ordered a burrito, since I wasn't too hungry.

After I finished eating I went back to work.

Soon, I finished the article.

I read it over and sent it to Mr. Hilenberg.

I picked up my phone and called my mom.

After 3 rings, she picked up.

"Evening Starlight. This time I checked the time zone for Mexico on my phone."

"Hey Mom. So I did the interview," I told her.

"How was it?" She asked.

"Weird...Just gonna say that," I left it off at that.

"Okay...well, at least your alive!" She laughed.

"Yeah. I guess that's a plus," I shrugged.

"Have you had dinner?" She asked.

"Yes."

"Good. It's not good to work on an empty stomach..unless you finished the article already," My Mom Said.

"You know me too well, mom."

"Yep. Have a nice night, Starlight. I love you."

"Love you too, Mom."

And she hung up.

I turned on the TV and watched some dramatic show with English subtitles.

Soon, it was 8:00 and I was tired so I opened my bed and laid down.

I turned off the TV and slowly drifted to sleep.

I heard a small voice but I assumed it was just my head playing games with me.

"Sweet Nightmares, Y/n L/n."
