Twenty-three:The one who could stir him in seconds
She turned to see who it was, her senses high at alert but her countenance as calm as the still water.
The person was dressed in black, his features hidden under the darkness that engulfed the staircase.
"Let go", was what she said, her hoarse voice having an effect on the person holding her because he tightened his grip on her the moment she opened her mouth.
"Do youind having a drink with me?", the man asked, his voice slightly raspy.
"How am I supposed to do that? I don't know you".
"But...", he said and took a step towards her. Monalissa stepped back from his advances.
"You don't also seem to know the man you're going to find do you?"
"I thought people were always taught to mind their business. What do you think you're doing right now?"
"Don't lie. I noticed you had something up your sleeve from the moment you stepped on that stage", he whispered with a snigger. Monalissa looked at him with slited eyes as she tried to fathom what had gone wrong. She didn't want to ruin this mission. This was the first she had to do for the devil to gain his trust but this bastard was here babbling on about god-knows-what.
"So you noticed", she said trying to find a way out. She took a step closer to him, her hands travelling up from his navel to his chest. This...was what she had learned thanks to the movies that her sister, Kyla always watched.
Something down there twitched between the man's legs as he grimaced from the pleasure the girl was arousing. He was quite surprised that she had grown this much. Even Elena couldn't stir him in seconds.
Monalissa who was oblivious of the man's thought was busy with finding her way out.
"It just happened to be in my favor so, I decided to take that chance. Mr Banks is a wealthy hag and everyone is scampering towards him. And you know the reason", she said with a smirk.
"Really?"
"Yes. Then, I hope you'd mind your damn business and stop obstructing my progress", she said, her voice slightly raised as she kneed him in between.
Elijah winced in pain as he staggered, giving Monalissa a leeway to run off. She bolted upstairs and arrived in front of Mr Banks' table.
Elijah grabbed the railings. His head was covered in sweat from both the pain and try pleasure that she had inflicted with that innocent mind of hers. He smiled dotingly as he looked in her direction. He took out his cellphone and called his subordinate to come over.
Ezekiel already sat for a while with Arianna and decided to take a break. Arianna agreed not wanting to make him pissed. The moment he left, she called her assistant and had her look into who that girl in red was.
