Kassandra was only looking at the slow movement of the clouds in the sky from the glass wall of her unit while sipping from the vape she was holding. She let out the smoke while thinking.
What if she looks for another man to engage with? Mr. Des Fluers is a trouble. It seems like he hates women that is why he doesn't make an appointment with them. He is nuts and all. He is cold. But she had no more time to spare and looked for another man to convince.
She looked over her smart phone to read those details again.
Jacob Cien Des Fluers was disowned by his family and stole a billion dollars in their company. He was an ex-convict with a crime of attempt murder and was released after a year because of unknown reason.
He has his own publishing company now and was one of the richest bachelors all over Europe. He isn't only a CEO. He is a model and a writer. He is also a pianist, guitarist, and violinist. There is even a rumor that says he is a good painter.
He is really top notch and multi talented that is why he is her number 1 target to bring with her father. So she isn't giving up. And because of her determination to convince him, she read all of the information she got within the five days she was ignored by him.
Ten days have passed since she started bugging him and she hasn't gotten any response. She groaned upon remembering how he ditched her every time she talked and how he ignored her every time they met. He is really getting on her nerves.
She put down her phone, stood up from her armchair, turned off her vape and went out of her room. She went down to the 11th floor to go to room 110. She pressed the doorbell and waited there for about a minute and when no one was responding, she pressed it again and spoke to the surveillance device.
"Let's talk, please."
But then she heard no response within a minute.
"Are you dead?" She hissed because she is starting to get impatient.
"Please be merciful to me this once. I've been taming you for f*cking ten days and I am telling you that I won't give up. If you don't open this door now, I'm gonna sleep here until you empathize me. And then if you don't emphasize me enough, tomorrow I will go to your company's roof top and will be planning on jumping over from the top and I will only stop when you will give me a chance to talk to you properly. If I am still alive after jumping because you still ditch me then I still won't give up. I will keep crawling to you even if I don't have limbs anymore!"
She immediately inhaled to catch her breath from speaking spontaneously. She is now pissed.
Her eyes directly lit up when she heard a click on the door knob and the door opened. She received a dark glare but she wasn’t affected. Her eyes even sparkled when her eyes went down his naked top, from his sturdy chest, six packs abs, and his delicious looking v-line.
"Get lost." Mr. Des Fluers declared and was about to close the door but then Kassandra kicked it quickly and ran inside when she saw space. Then she heard him swear.
"F*ck! How could you be so strong?" He complained while holding his hand that it almost got fractured because of her sudden kick on the door while he was still holding the door knob.
"Get out!" He strongly demanded and pointed out the door.
Kassandra then walked to the door but it wasn’t her intention to go out. She went there to close the door and lock it. She then looked at him from head to toe.
"Thanks for letting me get inside, Mr. Des Fluers. I really want to talk to you and I don't mind if you only had boxers with you," Kassandra’s voice was formal but the smile on her lips was conniving.
"Do you know that it's f*ckin 12:00 in the morning?" Mr. Des Fluers fumed. He walked closer to her as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her out but she pulled back. So then, they are like playing tag.
"I don't care if it's 12:00 AM. If you want to sleep then sleep. I'll wait until you wake up and talk to me."
"Get the f*ck out or you'll be reported to the maintenance depart-"
"I am the owner of Astaire so that's not my problem!" She declined and pulled her hand from his strong grip.
"What do you want me to do for you to hear my request?! Do you want sex?! I'm a virgin, I'm yummy!" She yelled.
"What the f*ck are you saying?! Just get out!"
"No! Give me time to talk!"
"I won't listen to you!"
"Just hear me out! I really need you!"
"Look for somebody else!"
"No! I want you! I only want you!"
Mr. Des Fluers suddenly let go of her hand, making her bump herself on the wall and she moaned from the pain she felt on her back.
"F*ck! Why did you suddenly let go?!" She groaned, "If there's a broken bone, you'll f*ckin pay for it!"
"I'll pay for it, now, we're done, get out" He coldly demanded and patiently pointed the door again. But then she directly shook her head to disapprove.
"No. You'll hear me out." Kassandra demanded too. She is determined. She had already started this and she is not planning on giving up.
Mr. Des Fluers sighs and spoke. "What do you want?"
"Engage with me." She immediately announced, standing up properly.
Mr. Des Fluers’ brows furrowed. "What?"
"Engage with me and pretend that you're my fiancé and we're in a secret relationship."
His frown deepened, "What does that mean? Is that even possible? Have you lost your mind? Do you think I am playing with your playground? Get out!"
"No! I want Astaire to be still in my hands, that's why I need you!"
Mr. Des Fluers stared at her eyes.
She sighed, seeing that he is still not believing her. "My older sister wants everything I have and I only have Astaire. And now she wants to get it and I don't want her to get this one. Astaire is my life and I don't want to hand it over to her over my dead body. I want to fight with her. You only need to get engaged with me."
He remained looking at her. He can see the determination in her eyes that he can see himself from her before. These were those eyes that intend to show that she will do anything just to get what she wants.
It's been ten hell days that this woman is into him and she keeps annoying him but she still didn't give up. But why him? She can look for somebody else!
"You can look for somebody else. You won't get anything from me."
"No. I want you! I know that my father will favor you more than my sister's fiancé."
He did not speak.
That face that she's making. He knows he will give in soon. This is why he doesn't like to be around women. They're vulnerable.
"You were disowned and I was disowned too."
His eyes widened. Without a doubt, he grabbed Kassandra’s shoulders, tight and with pressure.
"What do you know?" He asked coldly with his eyes showing no mercy.
Kassandra gulped, feeling nervous all of a sudden because of the sharp look in his eyes. She thought that she wouldn’t get intimate anymore but seeing it up this close, she is regretting her decision to provoke him. She felt the freezing of her legs.
"That is..." She stuttered, feeling the pain on her upper arms that he was gripping tight.
She doesn't know how to tell him. This is the biggest secret of Astaire and it is very confidential. But he is so angry that she couldn't help but be forced to spill.
"It is because Astaire is more than just a hotel." She confessed, closing her eyes and biting her lips to stop moaning.
Mr. Des Fluers pushed her away, letting her go and just let her be. She was left standing there, while stopping her tears to come out because of the tremendous fear she felt a while ago.
He is... scary.
