Intoxicating

The lights in the corridor go off and turn back on. It began flicking and Leila had the urge to laugh. Throughout the day, that light never flicked, but now it is

Weird!

She smiles, shakes her head and is about to leave but stops. "Nice party" she complimented and walks towards the door

Once she gets a step closer to the door, she hears Nolan speak. "You did something to me"

She turns around with one of her brows raised. "And why will you think that?"

Nolan was still in the corridor and at this point, Leila was not seeing him. After a minute of silence, Nolan steps out from the corridor but leans on the wall.

Now that she has a clear view of his face, she rolls her eyes. "You look drunk, Nolan. Go rest" and she turns around to leave,

Nolan takes a step forward hurriedly and falls to the ground. Leila sighs and turns around. She walks to him, squats and places her hand down.

"If you know being drunk is not good for you, don't be"

Then she stands and watches him struggle to stand. She takes out her hand for him to grab on. Hesitantly, he takes it and he stands, but is not balanced. "Can you walk to a room or…"

Nolan turns away like a child being scolded. She studies him for a while and notices he didn't plan to help himself. She sighs "You'll owe me for this"

She turns to the side. "Help me hold him"

Nolan's right-hand goes up and hangs in the air. His elbow points to the ceiling while his forearm drops as though his hand is wrapped around something.

Leila takes his other hand, and they slowly move to one of the rooms in the yacht. Once in the room and close to a bed, Leila lets go of Nolan, and he falls flat on the bed with his stomach. He growls and turns around to face Leila now lying on his back.

"What is the name of your perfume?" he asked rubbing his eyes,

Nolan felt something intoxicating and alluring in her perfume. It has been messing with his head for a while now, and that was why he had to drink to stay normal and control his head. But Leila's reply makes him frown

"I don't have one" with that Leila turns around and leaves the room and the yacht

She gets into her car which is parked at the dork's entrance but instead of the driver's seat, she takes the back seat with no one at the driver's seat.

"You're late" she stated rubbing her forehead

After a minute of silence, she sighs. "Let's go"

Leila gets home ten minutes later. She places her bag on a small table at the entrance. The area the table stands on, slides open, and the table goes in and comes back out without the bag on it.

At the dining table, a hot brewing tea rests on the table waiting for the owner. She spends about five minutes sipping the tea slowly and lost in her thoughts.

After which, she freshens up and heads to her study. Once in, she clicks a switch that is beside the light switch and the walls of the study fall, revealing a lab.

A table sits at the side with a lamp on it and some books. On the other side, another table stands with a stool at its side.

Shelves stand at different corners of the room containing books and cupboards with glass doors standing beside the shelves holding wires and different electrical parts.

A robotic head hangs off the ceiling with its eyes closed. Leila walks to the stool and takes a seat.

A holographic computer appears once she sits. "Come lay, let me see what's wrong"

After a minute, a human-like robot appears on the table flat. The robot had the features of a male. Leila turns to the holographic computer and operates it.

A thin light flashes from underneath the table and moves from his head to his toe, then back. "You messed up your wiring. Luckily, it's not something bad"

She picks up some tools and begins opening up the robot. "Fay" she calls out,

The female robot hanging on the ceiling moves and opens its eyes. "Did Sharon bring some files here?" Leila asked

"Yes" the female robot replied

"Place them on the table" Leila instructed and concentrated on fixing the robot on the table

She spends about five minutes on him after which she moves to her study table which has five files on them. She takes a seat and instantly feels like a mallet hit her forehead.

Leila rubs her forehead. The drinks she had are finally giving her a hangover. She grabs a glass of water at the side and gulps it down. She had a lot to do, and a hangover can't stop her from doing her work.

Leila grabs the first file. Her mind drifts to Nolan's party. She had to say that she enjoyed herself there. The outing helped her relax some muscles that have been tense for months now.

If it weren't for being responsible, Leila would have decided to go to parties all year long and if it weren't for the constant hangovers she would have because of the drinks, she would have also decided to give it a try.

But then Eleanor made it so hard to enjoy quality parties, her parties were always wild. Leila sighs, trying to concentrate on work.

She was having a serious meeting the next day, and she had to be fully prepared because top partners will be in attendance.

Some may not like her because of the constant scandals she finds herself in which sometimes profits the business but most times it does not.

Taking another glass of water, she turns to the file.

NOTE: Fay is the female voice that Leila speaks to concerning the well-being of the house. She informed Leila of the intruder
