The seed of doubt

Lucifer stood in front of the room, his mind clouded with the weight of the last two days. He had not visited yesterday, as the protection period had ended two days ago. But today, as per his master's command, he was back.

He did not know why he was sent back or why he was instructed to talk to this woman for two whole days. The manner of his speech was not something he would say to a complete stranger, but it was not an unlikely occurrence either.

For two days, he had supported the woman's doubts about her husband abandoning her, strengthening her belief of dumping and hate towards her husband. It was like planting a seed of doubt, now he might be back here to check if had been bloomed.

"You would know what to do when you get there." The quote from the recorder echoed in his mind. It had been an easy task, but he marveled at the precision his master wielded. The conversation had flowed from his lips naturally, without effort.
