Chapter 13 Hanging Out

Chapter 13 Hanging Out

Dark Phoenix chose a few outfits and entered the changing room as Damien sat on a sofa overlooking the rooms.

'After this I need to ask her where I can find an organisation which can find me servants.' He thought as he picked up a magazine at the table and begun to peruse it.

It mostly contained jewellery and the latest clothing trends. Mostly due to the current tenure of the Phoenix god queen, gold was the trending color in both accessories and clothing.

The door to the changing room creajed open and Dark Phoenix walked out.

Damien raised his head and was dazzled by her.

She was dressed in long body hugging red dress which widened at her feet and brought out her hourglass figure. It was long sleaved with a wide cleavage which showed the deep valley between her mounds.

She had let down her hair which cascaded down her back. Her bright black eyes were currently gazing at him with expectation.

"How do I look?" She asked as she twirled around upon which the bottom widened part bloomed like a flower making her shoeless feet visible.

"Beautiful... You truly are." He said as he gulped down his alive forcefully.

He stood up and walked to stand in front of her the moment she stopped twirling around.

"What?" She asked with her sweet voice, blushing as she caught sight of his wolfish gaze.

"We look more like a couple now, don't we?" He asked as a grin spread along his cheeks.

Dark Phoenix looked at her dress, then his suit and her face blushed furiously upon seeing the color similarity.

"Am going to try on more outfits." Her voice was heard as she escaped back into the dressing room.

'I simply chose the outfit which l wanted to show him without thinking too much.("We look more like a couple now, don't we?")' She placed her hands on her cheeks as she giggled foolishly with that phrase constantly replaying in her mind.

Dark Phoenix tried out bunch of other outfits which were also great on her and then a credit card abruptly appeared in her hands as they walked towards the counter.

"Where were you keeping that thing?" Damien asked upon seeing it materialising from thin air.

"From a spatial ring." She answered as she showed him her right index finger upon which sat a black ring.

"Who makes spatial artifacts?" Damien once again asked as he looked at her while walking side by side.

"Only god kings/queens and god emperors/empresses can make them since they can manipulate them. I got mine from someone I viewed as a father." She said as her gaze deemed upon the mention of the word father.

Damien who didn't know anything didn't know how to console her so they continued on silently and she paid before they exited the store.

"I need to ask you about something." He said as he remembered about a certain thought of his.

"What is it?" She asked.

"I need to find helpers, minimum string requirement should be six strings, women and they cone from the universe. Do you know of anyone who can find them for me?" He asked.

"First of all, what do you need them for? And they have to be women?" She asked while her eyes had gained a suspicious glint.

"They are going to be like maidservants for the houses and will also help me with moving around things like decorations. We need to make the houses more attractive, having only the rainbow liquid isn't enough for the price I want the properties to go for." He explained.

"There was an agency somewhere in that building. Let's go." She said as she led the way to another building right next to the one they had just cone from.

All her shopping bags had been dumped into her storage ring so her hands were free prompting a debate to take place in Damien's mind.

'Should I hold her hand or shouldn't I, should I or....' The back and forth continued to play in his mind but ultimately he didn't.

As soon as they entered the building, the people in the lobby gave them a wide berth since they sensed the unique pressure of higher stringed beings that the two generated. All the people were below six strings as demigods were still rare in Pantheon city.

They entered into an elevated and Dark pressed a floor number which was of a middle floor in the building.

The elevator ascended as they maintained silence. Dark was still trapped in her gloom and Damien, who could sense it failed to think of a way to console her so he could only stay silent.

DING!!

The elevator opened as they walked out. They had been the only people inside.

She led the way as they reached an office. A woman, who had been at a desk beside the office stood up, bowed and asked, "What may I help you with?"

"We want to talk to your boss." Dark answered coldly upon seeing the woman was trying to seduce Damien. Her valley had become exposed as she had bowed.

"Lady, only goddesses are worthy of my perfect self. Become one and you will get me. This is an encouragement from me." Damien said seriously upon noticing the lady's actions.

Both Dark Phoenix and the lady's eyes widened upon hearing his nonsense.

The lady raised her head and looked at him as if he was an alien.

Damien was even stroking his chin proudly while looking at the lady with a 'think me, praise me' expression.

"Idiot." Mumbled Dark as she blushed in embarrassment. She shifted a few steps side ways as she tried to pretend they weren't related.

"Hurry and inform your boss. Ignore what he said." Dark said upon which the lady pressed a button on the phone.

"What is it?" A voice was heard.

"Boss, a god and demigod are here to see you." She said through the phone.

"Oh!! Send them in... No I will cone to welcome them in." The voice said before it was abruptly cut off.

The door opened the moment the call was cut as a plump smiling man opened it.

"Come in, come in." He welcomed them with enthusiasm.

Dark led the way and Damien followed as they entered.

"Prepare refreshments for our guests." He ordered the woman outside after which he led the two to the sofas facing each other in front of his desk.

Dark sat down on one and so too did Damien naturally sit at her side.

The man sat opposite them. His face looked cuter with a smile.

"We want two demigods from the universe and they have to be female. How long will you take to find them?" Dark asked.

"A quarter movement of the sun. Let me make some calls as you wait here." He said as he went to his desk and started dialling numbers on his device.

'A ten sun cycle takes ten years of Earth's time. When the cycle rotates by moving one position each for the suns, that's one year and quarter if that one position would be three months. Waiting in his office for that amount of time will be boring for me.' Damien thought.

He turned his vision to the woman at his side and caught her staring at him.

"What?" He asked.

"I thought gentlemen took charge in these talks?" She asked as her eyes looked into his.

"Cough cough, I don't know this place well enough and am not a polite person. If you had met me in the universe outside, you would be surprised." He answered.

"Are we just going to wait like this? It will be boring." He whispered to her.

"It is the way things are generally done here. We have a lot of time due to our long lifespans." She answered as she picked up a magazine from the table.

She crossed her right leg over her left and proceeded to seriously read it. The hem of her dress, slid a little exposing her fair thighs and she didn't seem to notice.

Damien who had noticed it, looked towards the plump man and saw that his vision wasn't aimed in their direction as he was still on the phone. He leaned his head closer and whispered into her ear, "Cover your thighs, you are tempting me."

Dark Phoenix was caught off guard and panicked. The magazine dropped to the floor and she hastily took out a cloth from her spatial ring to cover her legs.

The plump man looked over to see that she was picking up the magazine and assumed it had dropped by accident. His gaze turned back to what he was doing.

Dark, whose face had heated up lightly punched Damien in the chest while he laughed at her cuteness.

"Am going to be bored. I will go bout and take a stroll." He said after some time and stood up to go outside. He bumped into the secretary, who was bringing refreshments upon opening the door. He widely opened if her upon which she entered after which he slipped out.

'Its time to take a look at this city.' He though as he placed his glasses on his eyes, hands in his pockets and went on an adventure.
