6. Meeting the Devil
"Now, stop being indolent and help me set the table," I ordered him playfully.
"Yes, your majesty." He gave me a mock salute and followed me into the kitchen. We set the table on our terrace and had our lunch there.
"Damn! It's good." He grunted with approval after taking a bite of the pizza.
"I told you so," I chirped.
He was savoring the pizza like anything. He was already on his fifth slice, I was nibbling at my third slice while gawking at him in disbelief.
"What?" he raised his eyebrows at my inquisitive eyes.
"Nothing," I remarked and looked away. It was a bit chilly but pleasant.
The way the wind caresses my hair and cheeks gives me a serene feeling. A phone call broke me from my little bubble. I checked the caller's id to see my senior journalist's number flashing. I took the call and cleared my throat.
"Mr. Graham,"
"Ms. Sandros, there is a rumor about Jedrick, he is here for a month for his upcoming pr

Adeline's Pov~ I didn't know how I arrived home. I didn't remember when I had my dinner with Arsenio. The entire evening was a blur. "Adeline!" someone waved their hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my daze and focused on the person in front of me. "Are you listening?" Arsenio asked me with a frown, as if, trying to read my mind. I didn't even remember what I was thinking about. Maybe, I was thinking about a particular blue-eyed man. "Sorry," I probably looked dumb in front of him. "I asked you, is there is an extra bed or a blanket with you?" he repeated as if talking to a toddler. "Yeah… Yeah, yeah I do." I nodded my head and walked to my closet to retrieve an extra bed. That I have with me whenever I have a sleepover with Lisa, my college mate, now she lives in New York. Good old days! "Are you okay? You look very much dosed off the entire evening." He pointed out. "I'm fine.

I turned around to come, face to chest with Arsenio. My mouth dropped to the floor, my eyes widened at the sight in front of me. He was Arsenio but he had this huge white feather behind his back. He looked like an angel from heaven. Oh my god! He wasn't lying all this time. He was indeed from a different realm. The thing that I saw on television was him after all. What the hell was going on in my life? *************** Arsenio's Pov~ We were going dress shopping for me, after Adeline's work here. I really appreciate the way she provides for me even though I was a complete, stranger to her. But I couldn't rely on her. I must find a job during my stay in this realm. I met a middle-aged man today, while I had my early morning run in the same park that I visited yesterday. He told me that they were looking for a security guard in his office. He thought that I'll be fit for the position due t
The Girl We Desire 9. The New Disguise
The other gang members had discussed something about, supplying something to Jedrick. I thought back to their conversation, I think the bald guy told him something along the line of supplying it in the upcoming week. What it might be? Were they trafficking people? Or was it drugs? Let us wait and watch. After buying for Arsenio, we bought some men's suits and clothes for me. He raised his eyebrows at me in question. I gave him a wink and paid for our things. I made up my mind, whether the devil likes me or not he was going to take me as his secretary. ************ The very next week I was standing in front of Jedrick & co, it was a sixty-seven-floor building. It looked so posh and intimidating. I was wearing a suit and my hair was tucked inside my front lace wig. It almost looked like real hair. Thanks to modern technology. I thank everything holy because I was not interviewed by Jedrick. I had an i
The Girl We Desire 10. The Devil's Personal Secretary
This woman was entirely different from the woman I saw for the past two days. I could see that she adores her daughter more than anything in this world. Maybe she was not all that she let people see. "I won't be taking her next weekend, I'll be busy." The guy informed my lady boss, nodding at the little girl in her arms. "No problem," she tried to remain expressionless but I could see right through her eyes that she was pleased about it. "Bye, bye, daddy." The little girl waved at the guy. He must be my boss' husband. **************** Adeline's Pov~ Without Arsenio, my apartment looked dreary and forlorn. I didn't realize that his presence was the closest to having a family since my granny's death. I think I would be missing his tease, laughter, and companionship from my boring, everyday life. I was standing in front of the devil's hell. Today I'll be officially taking the position of J
The Girl We Desire 11. He was Hard
We arrived at some snobbish-looking restaurant. It looked spectacular; probably the food here costs more than my monthly pay. The people looked so swanky, the men wore suits while the women were adorned with diamonds and embellished clothes. I looked down upon my attire and realized that I was acting like a man. I looked at my temporary boss; he was talking to the manager of this restaurant. As soon as the manager heard his name, he visibly shook and escorted us personally to our booth. A middle-aged man and a woman with blond hair in her early thirties were already there. Once they saw him, they stood up and greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Jedrick, I hope you're doing fine." The man greeted him by shaking his hand with the devil. The woman just gave a slight bow at him as a sign of respect and gave me a small smile, which I returned immediately. "Yes, thank you. Please have a seat, Mr. Montgomery." My boss told Mr. Montgomery. He almost looked norma
The Girl We Desire 12. The Devil was Tempting
That night I went to my bed at half-past eleven, feeling extremely exhausted. Thankfully no one discovered my gender yet, with that thought in mind, I settled on my bed and closed my eyes. My phone pinged with notification. I ignored it and raised my comforter to my nose. I felt like I was floating on clouds. My phone pinged with another notification, making me groan. Come on, give me a break, I was exhausted to my bones. I rolled on my stomach and reached for my phone. My eyes were drooped due to sleepiness. I opened my phone and my eyes stung with the little light that emitted from its screen. I usually put my phone in a dark mood and today was no exception but still, it affected my eyes. After my eyes got adjusted to the light, I opened the message clumsily. It was from my dear boss, it read, *Mr. Sandros, As my personal secretary, I expect you to be at my home, sharp at six O'clock every morning, to organize my morning rou
The Girl We Desire 13. Why was my life like this?
I could see his defined muscles underneath his see-through shirt. It looked like it was carved out of white marble. I took the tie and stood on my toes to tie it around his neck. I could feel his hot breath fanning my cheeks. I was breathing through my mouth to calm down my racing heart. I looked up and his eyes were solely focused on my face. I had a feeling that he was trying to study my reaction and trying to observe my face. I diverted my eyes to his neck instantly and tied it around it with perfection. I was a sucker for a guy's neck. I knew it sounds weird but I'm telling you this, he had the most beautiful neck. His neck was naturally protruding with veins, not too much, just the right amount to make it look gorgeous. It looked so strong and masculine. I could see three beauty spots on his neck, and his, Adam's apple was well defined. God! I sounded like a pervert. Adeline, focus on what you were here for, he was your enemy. He was in the mafia
The Girl We Desire 14. A Storm was Rising
I was printing some copies for the meeting that would be held this evening, the soft sound of the printer working, filled the room. Suddenly, someone entered the room with the door screeching. I turned around and it was the brunette from the reception. Her face lit up seeing me; she gave me a polite smile and entered the room with a stack of papers in her hand. "Mr. Sandros, right?" she queried me and went near an unoccupied printer. "Yes," I nodded my head in confirmation. She seemed like a good person maybe we could be friends. "What is your first name again?" she asked me all of a sudden and started to make copies of her papers. "Reynold, Miss…" I trailed and I realized she hadn't given me her name. Her eyes widened as if, she had forgotten something. "Oh! My goodness, I haven't introduced myself. I am Betty Fernandez." She rushed out and I could see her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. I laughed at her cuteness and waved her off,
