Con Artist| 3

I know since I was probably going to a fancy company I'd probably have to wear all fancy and look presentable, but that was the last thing on my mind seeing as to that guy threatened me using Zada's name, so fuck him!

I wore my black baggy jeans and a tight fit crop shirt, topping it off with a black leather jacket and black sneakers. I was beyond pissed but at the same time, I brought it into myself.

The question of how he found me and how he was able to find out so much about me in so little time amazed me and I just wanted to find out how I'll put that on my list of many questions I have for him.

"I'm going out Zada, will be back later!" I shouted from the living room/dining room of our apartment.

"Alright, see you later, Xania," she shouted back from her bedroom and I left, locking up the apartment with my key. It wasn't in the safest neighbourhood but we had Winnie looking out for us always, she was also like that mother figure to us and I loved her.

Getting a cab as soon as I stepped out onto the street, I told him where to take me and we made it within the period of fifteen minutes, fuck this building was huge, and the windows were all tinted black.

Walking slowly into the building with my hands in my pockets, I walked towards the receptionist and tapped my hands on her desk or whatever this thing was.

"I'm here to see, Mike," I said and she took a good long look at me before standing up and folding her arms over her chest.

"Mike who?"

How many Mikes were here? I took out the card and read his name out loud.

"Michael James Jefferson, the third in line for dick," I said and she scowled, grabbing the card from my hands and I looked at her shocked.

"If you're one of those women coming here to tell him you're pregnant with his baby, you could leave because he won't be giving you any money," she said and I watched her blond hair bob as she spoke so 'certain' of what she was saying. Her bright painted pink lips were distracting, but not as much as how that ponytail was almost falling off.

"Oh, and let me guess, you tried that and it didn't work. Now you have to be bitter to the one who's really pregnant with his child?" I faked my tears and sobbed really loudly getting ready to act.

"Why do you have to be so wicked? I just want to see my fiancé, and the father of my baby, Michael and you won't let me because of the way I look?" I screamed and cried and a lot of people looked at her and she shook her head.

"Mam, please stop, you're embarrassing yourself, and me!" she said in a hushed tone and I looked at her.

"Just show me where his office is and I will stop," I wailed louder and a security guard came towards us.

"What seems to be the problem here?" he asked the girl and she pointed to me saying I was making a scene because she didn't want to show me where Michaels office is. Looking at this guy he looked a bit familiar.

"Michael has been expecting her, Xania, correct?" he said, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the elevators.

"You don't have to say my name out loud, do you have any idea how many men I may have conned that work here?" I said looking up at his stoic face, looking back I saw that receptionist still staring at me, I raised my middle finger at her and shouted, "Your ponytail is falling off!"

She immediately held her hair and I laughed happily as she ran away somewhere.

"Are you always a bother?" the guard asked me and I shrugged looking at him.

"Who's asking?" he shook his head and pulled me out of the elevator as the doors opened on a busy floor. We walked, or he walked towards an office and pushed me in it forcing me to sit down.

"Hello, Xania," Mike said from behind me and I turned my head slightly to look at him. Keeping quiet I looked straight ahead and he chuckled. "What would you like?" he asked, showing me glass bottles of a brown liquid that I didn't know. "Scotch or Brandy?"

"Home," I said and he chuckled again, pouring out the drinks into two cups and handing one to me which I placed on his desk.

"So, I have a job for you," he said and I stared at him. "What, no emotional interaction like you were in the reception area?"

I continued to stare at him and he sighed, passing me a file, and out of curiosity I opened it and found a picture of a man, a man who looked really attractive, like amazingly attractive.

He had emerald green eyes, with thick eyebrows, thick lips too and I was crushing, hard! His face was sculpted and you could just see from the picture that this guy had an amazing body, and he looked rich.

Looking through the file I learnt his name was Theo Walder, thirty years old and already a billionaire! Oh, wait no, he came from a family of billionaires and was basically given the company and yadi yadi yada, the normal rich fuck boy.

Closing the file, I looked back to Mike and shrugged. "What is this?" I asked him.

"That is your assignment, Theo, is the CEO of the rival company and I want you to get as much information about the company and about him as you can," he said pointing to the file and me simultaneously.

"Uhm, and how do you expect me to do that? I can't obviously con the man into talking to me about such stuff, I steal watches and shoes and wallets for a living, not words," I said a bit amused that he would even think I'd be able to do anything of the sort.

"Oh, sweet Xania, you'll be able to since you're able to seduce the shoes off a man, this shouldn't be too hard for you," he said shrugging. "And please finish your drink, I hate it when stuff goes to waste."

Downing the drink within seconds, it left a bitter taste in my mouth and I shook it off.

"How would I be able to get so much information, in just one day?" I asked Mike and he grinned.

"Nobody said a thing about it being a one-day thing, see my sweet Xania, you are going to worm yourself into his life, and then he will make you his and since you'll always be with him, you can get what I need."

"I'm sorry, that could take months," I said, hitting the side of my head because the stuff that didn't move was moving.

"As it should, I'm a patient man," I could feel my body get tired and I was surprised at the sudden sleepiness I was getting.

"But I stole from you, just one night," I slurred out, how strong was that drink? Mike was suddenly three people.

"But you had been planning it for a week, sleep now Xania," he said chuckling and I frowned.

"What was in that drink?" My head hit his table and I was enveloped in darkness.
