HER

By Tooba RafiqPublished about a year ago 2 min read

After a brief session of checking myself, I entered the mansion, A forceful and thorough checking. A gasp left my mouth as I looked at the mansion's interior and it did not look like men live there. The man who went to make HIM aware of my arrival came downstairs and said to me,

" Please wait here. Sir is coming in a minute or two."

" umm..yeah sure, no problem" I replied

"Anything you would like to have? hot or cold" He asked

"No, thank you" I replied

Now we have to wait for such a personality. I can't stand why there are so many bodyguards roaming in the house, especially around me as if I'll do something to them or their boss. I, myself isn't a normal individual but they all are very high alert. I heard the voice of a door banging shut and brief footsteps coming downstairs, not least a bit quiet on his approach making my anxiety get at its peak as he came downstairs and said from behind me I got up and looked behind myself and it was HIM. A well-built frame almost towering above me, taller than me wearing all black having sleek yet messy hair making a deadly combination with light brown eyes with the coldest expression on his face, almost making me ask him ' Are you even a human?'. I replied,

"Likewise, Mr. Vince. My name is Stacey Johnson." He hummed in response and said,

"Please have a seat"

We settle down on opposite sides of the center table in the living room. I continue,

" So how I'm helpful to you? And I'm interested in knowing about your organization"

"My upcoming mission is the reason for your presence over here and about my organization.. you'll know eventually about it"

"It looks like you're not ready to trust me completely, are you?" I said with a challenge in my eyes.

"No, I'm not... If you want me to trust you blindly, you need to earn it. Not everything will be served on a plate to you."

He said, rose from his seat, buttoned his coat, and left without bidding farewell. I looked at his disappearing figure and wondered why he was so rude. A servant led me to the exit door, and my car arrived. I took another glance at the mansion, sighed, and drove off.

AT NIGHT,

An unknown number appears on my phone screen, causing me to wonder who the caller might be. After a moment of contemplation, I answered the call and said,

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Stacey Johnson?"

"Yes, and who is this?" I asked

"I'm mister Vince's man ...he wants to meet you tomorrow 8. Is that okay ?"

" yeah, sure ..I'll be there ...umm mind if I ask the reason for the sudden meeting?"

"He wants to finalize things with you"

" okay thank you ". the line was declined and unknowingly I was happy to be there again.
