"It wasn't intentional; I swear, the kiss was more like a smooch. I overreacted, but he was cool," she explained, with her eyebrows pulled upwards. "Hmm, maybe he has started liking you. The only thing you need to do now is try to get on his good side and stab him in the back." Medusa said, grabbing Lucinda’s hand."It isn't that easy; I tried killing him yesterday as per my husband's instructions, but it was to no avail; he's too vigilant," Lucinda complained."Have you tried poisoning his food?" Medusa asked, raising her brow."Poison? No! I haven't tried it, but since we both eat at a restaurant, I can't just tell him," "Go, I want to poison your food, can I?" Lucinda asked bluntly."Here's the deal," Medusa said, leaning in closer to Lucinda and whispering something into her ear. Lucinda’s eyes widened."Are you nuts?!" Lucinda yelled, looking at Medusa with stunned eyes."Please, you just need to give it a try," Medusa said, squeezing something into Lucinda’s hand.Lucinda got u
A demon came out of the shadows behind them and captured Lucinda without Ralph's knowledge. The demon dragged her into the wall of the volcano. Lucinda flinched in fear that she had been kidnapped by Lucifer when she realized it was a demon. He pushed her against the wall of an enclosed area in the volcano; she could feel the sharp edges of the precious stones on her head."My queen, I can't let you endanger your life with that human," the demon muttered."Did I say I couldn't protect myself? Did my husband ask you to do this?" Lucinda asked him."Yes, and we have planned to kill the human with the help of other powerful demons." The demon replied."I don't think you can kill him because he has an emerald sword." Lucinda muttered. The demon gasped."W-Who gave him an emerald sword?" he asked."It was my fault. He has an emerald sword. Let me go back before he notices I'm gone." Lucinda said trying to walk through the wall."I'm sorry, my queen," the demon said. "I can’t let yo
"I can't do it. If I fly home, he might wake up on the way." She muttered to herself, placing her hand on his bare back."Why can't you just ask for my help?" Lucifer asked in her head with a chuckle."I really need your help to teleport us back to the office," she pleaded."That human is one stubborn fellow; I don't know why you have to prove to him that you are strong. We would have ended his life by now." Lucifer whined."I want him to die in my hands; the victory is mine!" Lucinda exclaimed."That isn’t a big deal; we just need to kill him, that’s all. It doesn’t matter who does it. Go!" Lucifer waved his hand, making both of them disappear into thin air. They both landed on the floor of the office. Lucinda grunted and sat up on the floor. She walked over to Ralph’s desk and removed all the things from it. She lifted him in her strong arms and placed him on top of his desk. She placed her hand on his nose, feeling his breath hit her hand."He is still breathing." She said, a
"Was I asleep for an extended period?" He asked to which Lucinda affirmed with a nod. "Kindly retrieve the research files from Miss Barbie for me to peruse," he instructed, prompting Lucinda to hastily depart the office.Lucinda thought, "What was I thinking? I'm glad he didn't demand the flight ticket as evidence. I couldn't think straight when he was unconscious, and I'm not sure why."As Lucinda arrived on the 23rd floor, she made a grand entrance in her blood stained armor. The assembled staff members directed their attention toward her, as she navigated among the desks at a brisk pace."Lucinda, glad to see you! Please have a seat," Barbie beamed, gesturing to a nearby chair.Lucinda responded, "I am not in need of a seat. My superior requested that I retrieve the research documents for review.” "Please accept my apologies for inconveniencing you, Lucinda. I failed to bring the research files to your office. Also, do not forget about the club event," Barbie said. Lucinda notice
After finishing another round of questions, Nathan spun the bottle once more. It landed on the guy sitting next to Barbie. "Truth or dare?" he was asked. He confidently replied, "Dare.""Kiss Lucinda for five seconds," Barbie challenged, causing Lucinda to gasp and cover her mouth. The guy hesitated, taking a sip of his drink before responding. “I will pass.”Nathan spun the bottle, and it landed on Lucinda. "Truth or dare?" he asked. Lucinda chose truth. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Nathan queried. Lucinda refused to answer the question and instead opted to take a drink. Nathan couldn't understand why she wouldn't answer, but Lucinda just grinned in response.The bottle landed on Nathan next. "Truth or dare?" Lucinda asked. He eagerly chose dare. With a smirk on her face, Lucinda dared him to kiss Barbie for two seconds, causing a displeased glare from her friend. "We're on," she whispered fiercely, glaring daggers at Lucinda as Nathan pulled her in closer by the waist. His hand caress
Medusa groaned as Lucinda's phone continued to blare. "What's going on? Why is your phone so loud?" she asked, blinking her eyes open. Checking her own phone, she cursed under her breath. "Lucinda, wake up! You're going to be late for work," she said, shaking her friend awake.Lucinda grumbled, "Can't I just sleep a little longer?"Lucinda's phone rang again, and Medusa showed the caller ID to her. "It's your boss. I told you going out last night was a bad idea," Medusa scolded.Lucinda sighed and sat up, burying her face in her hands. "I thought we were just living the good life."Medusa shook her head. "Well, now you're extremely late for work. Maybe you can call in sick?"Lucinda grinned hopefully. "Can't you just make the call for me?"Medusa rolled her eyes and tugged the sheets off the bed. “Better late than never. Stop being lazy and get out of bed," Medusa said. “You haven't told me who that handsome guy was who dropped you off at home last night."Lucinda stood up, holding he
Ralph sat at his desk, going through the files that piled up over the past few days. His eyes flicked to the clock on his desk, and he sighed when he saw that Lucinda was still not here. He wondered what she was doing with Deacon and couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance that she was not here on time. "I wonder what they're talking about," he muttered to himself before getting up from his chair and walking out of his office.As he approached Deacon's gate, he saw Lucinda sleeping in Deacon's arms. Ralph felt his anger flare up at the sight. "Is she nuts? I was waiting for her, and she's here sleeping!" he thought. He walked over to her and put his fingers on her lips."Shhh," he said, and carried Lucinda in his arms."Come back, we need to have a conversation," Deacon said, but Ralph ignored him. He teleported Lucinda to his office and dropped her on the floor."Ahhh!" she screamed, holding her back in a seductive way."Are you here to work or sleep?" Ralph asked, giving her hi
Lucinda and Ralph walked out of the company, the cool night air hitting their faces. Barbie approached them, her high heels clicking on the pavement."Hi, Lucinda, how are you?" Barbie asked."I am fine," Lucinda replied, trying to hide her exhaustion."Are you free tonight? How about you come hang out with me and my friends? Nathan is asking for you, he says he'll see you at home," Barbie said, grinning at Lucinda. Ralph's eyes widened in surprise."Who is Nathan?" Lucinda and Ralph said in unison."Are you for real? Don't you know Nathan, the guy you danced with yesterday?" Barbie said, looking keenly at Lucinda. She stroked her hair backwards."I don't remember," Lucinda muttered, trying to recall anything from the previous night."Maybe if you see him, you will remember. I'm going now, bye!" Barbie said, waving as she headed off. Ralph drove them to the restaurant.As they waited for their food, Lucinda's mind wandered. She couldn't remember anything from yesterday, except for the
