Chapter 3: The Doctor

Celine Lebrun's POV

So, I have met my new doctor about my supposed treatment. I was having so much fun that I was giddy and happy to move from the dungeon to the place that I was supposed to stay. Maybe I will see Lucia again.

I was in the room to get settled in. It did not have much as it was minimalist kind of vibe. So I went to the door that was at the end of the room and it was a bathroom. I have to make sure that no one was watching me so I was swiping through the room for any hidden cameras or anything.

None, which was a relief.

I dumped all my stuff, which was only my body, and I went to take a nap on the bed. It was luxurious than the ones that I was sleeping back in the dungeon. I shivered at the thought of ever being there. Maybe I can escape this place.

"Ms. Lebrun?" The guard called after me when I was tying my shoelace on my sneakers. It was yellow and I was wearing a black shirt and leggings. It was the only thing that I will be wearing for the whole time that I will be here.

"Yes?" I asked him as I looked up to see who was it. It was one of the guards that have escorted me here and he nodded at me.

"Your doctor will see you now," he said before he opened the door and urged me to go with him.

"Where are we?" I asked him as we were walking down through the long hallway as we stopped in front of the door. It was ominous but I think I can manage it. Besides, what can a small room do anything to me?

Nothing!

I went inside when the guard opened the door and Simone was waiting for me there. He was being cool and professional as he was sitting at the table with notes in his hand. No doubt it was my notes.

"Ah! You're here. Please have a seat," he said as he gestured to the seat that was in front of him. I was wary of him because he was being bold and commanding as if he belonged there.

Well, maybe he was.

I went to the chair with the guard beside me before he released me of my handcuffs and I was rubbing my wrists. It was too tight today.

"You can fetch her in an hour," Simone said as he nodded curtly at the guard. He went away before Simone looked at me as if I was a fascinating object, a mere mind that he needed to cure, which was unnecessary.

But I don't mind him staring at me.

"So, how do you feel today?" Simone asked when he was opening a new page on the notes that he had. I wondered what he had read about me. Probably nothing good.

"Well, I felt more relaxed now that I don't have to live in that stinky hole anymore," I said honestly before I have to restrain myself to the limit that I cannot be so open to him. He might be using that info later for blackmail. Or worst, threat.

"Good to hear that. I heard that you also met Lucia Ricci yesterday, is that correct?" He asked me before his violet eyes were on me. I gulped before I nodded, not trusting my voice right now.

"How is she?" He asked and instantly I felt jealous that he cared about Lucia even though that woman never talked to him.

"Well, she's nice,"

"Do not interpret anything nice about her, Ms. Lebrun, or you might be caught in the deceit of her lies," he said as he was being formal with me again. I rolled my eyes at him before scoffing loudly.

"Well, for your information, she is nice and not everything that you heard was true you know," I said as I was crossing my arms, a defensive action, considering I was in front of a person that probably can read someone like a book.

He eyed me for a second before he shook his head and wrote something in the notes. I was so curious to know what was it that he wrote about me. Was he impressed or maybe curious a little about me and wanted to know me better.

Well, he did visit me before this treatment. Isn't that against the rule as I heard some of the guards talking?

"So, I see that you have an acquaintance with another patient. That was rather a social behavior for you," he said as he put his pen down and looked at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked before he smirked at me. He was looking at me as if I was a toy to be played with.

Well, I'm not and I sure as hell will never let him do that to me.

Not anymore.

"It seems like you prefer to do work on your own, without any input from the colleague or friends. Also, I think you were distant with your family," he said as he was reading the notes before looked at me again. Damn that magnetic eyes, I cannot look away from him anymore.

"Well, they are foster parents, not my real ones," I mumbled before I looked away, breaking the eye contact. Simone was silent for a while before the guard came as it has been an hour.

As I was leaving the room, I heard that Simone mumbled, "At least you have them," and I was out of his sight.

Simone Laverte's POV

I was rubbing my face as I did not get the information that I needed. I heard that Celine was a devil incarnate in a human body, well a sinful one at that. And she barely made an effort to seduce me.

I was attracted to her, no doubt and I think she would use that to her advantage. I can see many things that were coming from the seducing alone but she was barely looked at me in the face.

I felt angry somehow because her beautiful eyes were not on me.

I gritted my teeth as I was walking back to the conference as I saw Dr. Sean in the room, feeling frustrated with something.

"Rough night?" I asked him as I put my notes on the table. I was so tired before rubbing my neck. And the hour was barely for me to get under Celine's skin and I think she already under my skin.

Bloody hell!

"Yeah, well, it has to do with the method that I have been using on Lucia and it was not working as much as I thought it would be," he said as he was looking at his laptop. I chuckled before I was at my desk as well, doing some work and replying to emails to my lawyer.

He stated that he wanted me to come home already but I told him that it was just 2 days that I have been gone. He can wait another 28 days. I sighed before I leaned back on the chair. I saw that Sean was ready to leave for the night.

"Do you want to go out?" I asked him as I was new here and I hoped that he would show me around, like a tour of the facility.

"Can't. I have something urgent to do right now. Maybe another time," he said as he went to the door before he waved at me. I waved back as I went to the screen of my laptop. It was barely 8 PM. I sighed before I took my bag and went to my dorm. Maybe I just sleep it off then.
