Eight: He was the devil himself

Eight:He was the devil himself

The ride to the Alpha gardens was quite long and Monalissa was already feeling sleepy but she tried to keep awake. She wouldn't want these people to humiliate her. The car stopped in front of the magnificent building. The building before them stood tall and majestic putting a sense of caution into those that had arrived.

Monalissa, though aloof and cold as she was was still captivated by it. The building just defined its owner. She smirked in her head and walked in with the bodyguards.

They arrived at the living room. At this point, Monalissa began to wonder if she was in a different world. She was wondering if she had teleported into another world.

The living room wasn't just big. Big seemed like an understatement when she thought of it. The furnitures were exquisite with each having an eye-catching design on them. As Monalissa looked at the design she felt her head get heavy and she felt dizzy. Well, it happened in a fleeting moment.

She didn't have time to admire the remaining items in the living room when a lady walked up to them and greeted. She cast Monalissa a glance that didn't seem too overbearing nor friendly.

"Where's the Boss?" Kim asked.

"In his study", the woman answered her tone distant and polite.

Kim looked at the men and signalled them to leave. Then he turned to Monalissa.

"Follow me".

The woman stopped them. "Why?"

" The Boss needs me to doll her up".

Kim looked at Monalissa. He wondered what his boss was planning. Why does he want her all dolled up?

Monalissa on her part was also surprised. Dolling up? But why? A realization dawned on her. Did she actually jump from the fryer into the fire?

Kim gave way and Monalissa came forward. The woman eyed her and started walking away. Kim decided to wait at the living room. He was going to bring her up.

The lady butler, by name, Angela Brown took Monalissa to the dressing room. The room was really spacious and we'll facilitated. The materials and equipment needed for dolling up were there. She led Monalissa to the center of the room and turned abruptly.

"You should shower first of all. You can't meet the boss with that stench in you".

Monalissa nodded and went to the bathroom that was there. It didn't take long before she stepped out after all, she wasn't even comfortable with everything that was happening so she didn't want to dwell on a luxury that wasn't hers and that would never be hers. She was wearing a bathrobe when she came out.

There were already some maidens in the room whom she concluded were going to help her dress up.

"Sit. Let's begin".

She did as she was told and sat down. The maidens moved and got to work. They put lotion on her including body and hair oils that were naturally scented. Her hair was combed into a neat shoulder length style. In the span of minutes, she transformed. When Monalissa saw her reflection in the mirror she was shocked. Even the maidens couldn't react. She was so beautiful.

Monalissa dressed up in a pale green chiffon evening dress. She wore a black leather sandals. When she was done , she walked out of the room.

Gasps!!

The servants in the house couldn't hold back their unbelief. Even Kim who was uptight couldn't help but stare for a while. He wondered what it would be like if Monalissa was on their side. She could go on missions pertaining to higher offices. Including the, Soul-sucking Org. He regained his demeanor and walked her all the way to the door of Ezekiel's study.

Monalissa looked around. The hallway was long and spacious. It looked kinda austere except for the paintings that hung on the wall. They were dark styled painting just like the owner.

So he likes paintings too.

She looked at the door before her and her heart palpitated. She steadied her breathing and swallowed before she knocked.

Th door opened but there was no one at the door. She scoffed at herself for not acknowledging that the devil was also a rich CEO. She braced herself and walked in.

Her throat hitched. She was marveled at the decor. It wasn't like the living room that was magnificent and extravagant with lighting. This room had a combination of austerity and magnificence. However, one couldn't ignore the imposing air that engulfed the room.

"Come here". A deep voice was heard. Monalissa nearly jumped on her feet when she heard it. But, she couldn't lose face, not in front of this devil.

She followed the direction the voice walked forward. She was met with the sturdy back of a man, who stood tall and overbearing. He was the ruthless devil. The devil himself.
