CHAPTER TWO

LUCIAN' Pov.

"So you've been like this all your life or are you hhere to seduce me?" I asked a playful sena who turned to me with a curious and cinfused expression.

"Se....Seduceee? What's that mean?" She asked and I blanched as I felt her genuine confusion, now I wanted to possess her, the feeling of being the only one to have her sent desire coiling low in my loins and I discreetly adjusted myself.

"You saw what the lady waitress did?" She nodded but still looked confused.

"That's seduce" I completed and her mouth did an oh.

"But it's so disgusting, not as good as food; why do that?" She asked as her earlier confusion came back again and just then the sound of rollers filled my ears and I glanced up just in time to see four waiters rolling down carts to our table and behind them was a surprised and mildly confused Mr. johnson.

"Your meal sirs, sena" Her brother chuckled before leaving when sena shooed him away, his eyes focused on the food as they set it on the table and I stood up to welcome Mr johnson as he finall got to the table and the waiters all left.

"Mr johnson, Welcome" I stretched out my hand and he shook it with a smile.

"Mr. Lucian, Please sit. Are we having a party or celebration of sorts?" He took his seat opposite us and tried to reach for the cold cocoa and I watched stupefied as if in a slow motioned movie as sena flew out of her seat and grabbed the cocoa faster thatn anything I had ever seen.

"My cocoa" She cried out as she at down, clutching it to her chest as she glared at a stunned Mr. johnson. "Bad man steal my cocoa" She added with a scrunched up face tthat I found cute.

"Wow" He breathed as I almost face palmed myself but held back.

"I should have notified you, This is my friend sena, a great girl who loves and doesn't play with her food"

"I can see that, I presuume all this are all for her?" He wasn't even in the least bit angry or irritated, he looked fanscinated and I felt a sudden rush of anger that I withheld from showing.

"Yes" I curtly replied him.

"This is good, I have a daughter who does the same with her food, would love for them to meet" Some of the anger dissipated at his words.

"Alright let's get to it, I have to be somewhere soon" He added after that and I gave a nod as sena began to devour the food.

"So what do you think?" I asked as I pulled out my glass phone that lit up the design project in the air.

"Yeah I went through it and felt something was off" He furrowed his brows as he stared at the illuminated design my glass phone was projecting.

"Off? What is it?" I asked with surprise and turned to stare at the design only to see what he was saying, I always read through the reports my staffs gave and never questioned their work; expecting it to be on point and good.

So I was definitely not aware of the Off-ness in the design so I was feeling a slow burn of rising anger, I was going to really deal with the by the time I get back to the company.

"I just don't know what" He voiced out my thoughts and I sighed.

"This is unfort--"

"Hey it's my favorite game, how do you know?" Came from sena and I turned to her with a frown on my face, same as Mr. johnson.

"Game?" I asked, the girl was surprising me daily; My design was a game?

"Yes, but yours looks wrong, bring it, let me show you" She licked her fingers and I gave a glance to Mr. johnson who shrugged as I tentatively passed the glass phone to her and with a florish, she tapped on some things before passing it to me.

"All done" She smiled brightly and we both turned to glance at the design only to see it had all been rearranged..... Perfectly!! And that Off feeling was gone.

"Woah, you have so many skills you--"

''I'm twenty two, a grown woman" She snapped before I could say anything to warn him and he belted out a full belly laugh.

''I'd love to accompany you both but my wife will have my head if I'm not back soon and this looks much better than it was before. I'll send my PA to your office tomorrow to give you the signed documents" He stood up and we shaked hands before he gave a wave at a waving sena before turning around to leave.

I turned to stare at the girl sena as she munched happily on her meal, without any care in the world, well except food.

"Sena?" She hummed at me as she continued to eat her crossiant.

"Can you tell me about yourself?" I asked and she turned to me wwith a small smile, a contrast to her former chirpy self.

"I don't why jer. still takes care of me, I was only sixteen when I left the house after a hot arguement with my mom over something as stupid as what I wanted for diinner, they died in a car accident when they heard about a gunshot and came to find me to make sure I was okay" She looked really sad but it only lasted for a minute before her happy face came up again and she continued eating as I sympathised with her pain.

"She is unable to retain anger or sadness, but when she does, I feel she takes it much more than all of us; I still hear her call herself sena pie or cutie pie as my dad calls her" Came from beside me and I didn't have to look up to know who it was.

"Sena pie?" I ask lowly, afraid to break up her peacefulness.

"That's the name mum calls her when she was still alive"

"Sena pie" I heard her mutter after she was done and something in me broke as I heard jeremy take in a huge breath.

"Take care of her" Jeremy's voice sounded croaky and tear-filled and when I glanced up, I saw him disappear around the bend.

"Come sena, let me take you to a place" I said as I stood up and she did same but after staring at the last food there, she grabbed a bucket of chicken and the cold cup of cocoa to which I laughed to before I walked off, glancing back to find her following and eating too.

"Pay for the meal and damages, then send my card back to my building" I passed one of my black cards to the new waiter there and he nodded as we left.

"This is so good, you have to try it handsome brother" I smiled as I pulled open the door and she got in before I folowed suit.

"I will sena, maybe later" Jonas said to her before he drove off.

"Take us to the company, I want to make sure jasmine is not causing trouble" I sighed at the thoughts of facing jasmine as he drove with speed.

After we had arrived and wanted to get off, I found sena already asleep and I knew I couldn't just leave her there so I grabbed her carefully and carried her off the car.

Her legs encircled my waist, putting her warm heat on my loins and I resisted the urge to groan and rock my waist just to get friction; Not wanting to disturb her cute beautiful, peaceful sleep.

"Cutie pie pa" She mumbled into my neck and I felt my blood run cold as I tried not to think of what that word meant to me.

I knew of one person who I had heard been called that, the little girl who saved me when I was young;

But Claire is the girl, she had the scar on her left palm to back it up, also the name too but now I was torn between believing and trusting her fully or investigating.

I took out my phone and put a call across to James, My Private Investigator.

"Boss" His gruff voice filled my ears as I walked into my company building with all the staffs either greeting me or bowing down their head.

"Baby--"

"Shut your trap" I hissed at jasmine as she flew out of the reception area and saw her nose falre as she saw who was in my arms but I didn't give one, not to think two fucks what she was thinking or being angry about.

"What can I do for you boss?" Asked james from the other end of the call.

"I want every single information of Claire St. Clay and that of Serena Clayton" If jeremy was herr brother then they had the samee last name so that was what I gave to him.

"W-"

"I want everything. Medical records, anything and everything" I cut him off before disconnecting the call just as sena stirred and raised her head to stare at me sleepily.

"I saw unicorns" She mumbled, her voice thick with sleep and I smiled at her as I bobbed her nose and she scrunched it at me.

"Unicorns? Really? What are you? Three?" Jasmine insulted with malice in her voice and I sent her a glare which she returned.

"Security, throw her out. I don't want to see her in my building again and anyone who lets her in will be fired at the spot. Now where are my design team?" I boomed, feeling anger at all the misfortunes that had happened all in one day.

"What? You can't do this to me lucian, all for this trash? No no no I'll be back for you you bitch" She screamed as she was dragged off and there on my ground floor, the elevator opened and all my design team filed out; rushing to meet me.

"You all did a wonderful job today...." I begin and watched their faces lit up, the audacity; I adjusted a now back to sleep sena.

"A wonderful job of almost making me loose an important contract, what are you all paid to do? why can't you do your jobs perfectly? I'm perfectly capable of throwing you all out and getting a new design" I cut myself off and saw them visibly tremble with fear.

"Now I want you all to clear your desks for the new design team by tomorow morning tops, no speaking. I gave you grace twice, there will never be a third from me, I hate it when I pay more for soemthing and do not get what I want" I turned as they all feel to their knees, knowing better than to plead their case as I left.

I put a call across to My PA who picked up immediately.

"Get me a new design team by tomorrow morning"

"Yes boss" I promptlyy disconnected the call when sena shifted and I felt precum leak when her core rolled on my cock.

Fuckkk...
