Sitting comfortably on the leather couch, Aisha is sipping her champagne as she waits for the Boss of Lumière famiglia to show up.
If he shows up.
The time that was said on the note is 9PM sharp, and it was already 30 minutes passed from nine.
Another hour had passed.
Her patience is obviously running thin. Didn't he know that it wasn't a gentleman thing to do to make a woman wait for him?
Gulping down the rest of the champagne in her glass, Aisha realized that her bottle is now finished. Grabbing the telephone next to her, Aisha orders an another bottle of alcohol --- in this time, she orders the most expensive tequila, Barrique de Ponciano Porfidio Tequila.
Even though Aisha had already drink a bottle of champagne, she was still a sober, in fact she isn't even tipsy. Her alcohol tolerance is quite high.
Knocking on the door, dozens of waiters had come to retrieve the empty bottle of champagne and her used glass and replace it with new ones together with her alcohol and refreshments.
Oddly though, their costumer hadn't touch a single food they had prepare but they didn't probe that much. Their Manager already asked them to give this lady a high quality of service and don't dare to offend her.
They didn't know what's special with the lady, she seems like a normal woman with her get up but considering the fact that she had reserved the top floor and have their manager decorate it to her wants, she must be filthy rich.
Aisha could feel their curiosity about her and if it's any other time, she would've been tick off and lashed at them but now, she's obviously isn't a good mood.
Aisha pours herself a glass and looks up to the sky to gaze at the stars. She's in the rooftoop of the building, and the whole floor was covered in a bullet proof clear glass, allowing any person to gaze at the sky without worrying how it might suddenly rain.
Her investigation over the past month had proved her theories on why did they betray her was correct. In fact, she could make things straight to them and make them realize the truth over that incident.
Sadly, she wasn't that merciful.
Aisha wants them to regret betraying her. For making a fool of themselves by believing that person's words. She wants them to grovel at her feet and beg for forgiveness.
That's one reason, another is she wants to know who's the person behind the curtains, who is pulling the strings of manipulation.
That person is too careful, that even with Aisha's investigation skills, she can't determine who is the enemy.
The real enemy.
And in order to successfully unveil the real enemy, she needs the Lumière famiglia's help.
She doesn't want to admit it, but half of the Cavelli famiglia and the De La Torre famiglia's men is probably working under that person. Both hers and Freohr's famiglias aren't safe.
Also, ever since she had known the truth from Kristen, Aisha made a vow to herself that she will protect Freohr from all of this.
The glass Aisha was holding --- Riedel Tequila Glass, suddenly cracks in her tight grip as she watch the clock in the room, which is a minute away from 12 o'clock.
Screw whoever that bàstard is, he really had the guts to stood me up. No matter how strong or big his famiglia are, Aisha wouldn't hesitate to go after him and deliver him to his death.
Aisha was counting in her mind as she imagines how she will murder him. It was only ten seconds before 12 and Aisha stood up from her seat.
Unexpectedly, there was a series of knocks on the other side of the door.
"Come in." Aisha thought that it was probably the manager, and she already slipped her trench coat into her arms when the door opens.
When her gaze meet the one outside the door, she was a little taken aback to see a tall man in his black suit, his hair is a bit messy, and he is wearing a mask covering half of his face.
Seeing how formal this man are, Aisha felt a bit embarrassed of her clothing. She was only wearing a black velvet tank top with cage criss cross in the front, pair up with her high waist light denim jeans and her black ankle high boots, and her brown double breasted trench coat.
Their eyes locked.
Hazel to Violet.
Although, Aisha felt a bit weird staring into his hazel orbs, Aisha couldn't help but to feel slightly familiar of his presence.
Sure, he executed the same dangerous aura that mafia has but, Aisha didn't know why but she feels like there is lacking in his presence.
Of course, Aisha was only overthinking things because the manager and the other employees are shaking due to fear because of the man's dangerous aura.
The man in black suit sighs as he watch Aisha stares at him with wary. He knows he couldn't fool this woman. His hand reaching to his mask, and slowly removes it.
Aisha saw him removing his mask and her eyes become alert, her eyes taking in the features of the man.
The man bows his head as he take off his mask, before meeting Aisha's gaze. Aisha had a look of realization when she recognize the face of the man.
No wonder she didn't feel intimidated by him. He was definitely a remarkably hitman, his precise shooting and hand-to-hand combat are something that one definitely must fear, one also couldn't underestimated his brilliant mind. But despite all of this, he couldn't possibly scare Aisha.
After all, he is...
"I apologize Ms. De La Torre for making you wait for hours, we encountered some mishaps earlier and Boss is making a phone call to his subordinates. Please, wait for awhile." Skyler said in a formal tone to Aisha.
Aisha's mouth twitched but she couldn't dent the slight relief in her heart.
At least they had appeared even if it's the last second.
Aisha only gave Sky a dry small smile before asking him to seat which he declined. She didn't bother to say "no worries" to him because she is really pissed off by making her wait for hours. But can she really retort at them? She was the one who will have to ask a favor from them.
Aisha was about to sit on her seat when an another man enters the room. The room was already cold, but once he entered, it feels like they are suddenly transferred into a land of glaciers.
Aisha gripped the back-rest of the couch and smile inwardly. She could feel her heart racing, her knees slightly trembles, her muscles tightening and her breathing fasten a little.
Aisha immediately feel intimidated at his strong presence. She was sure that this man, who is wearing a navy blue suit, his slicked back silk hair, and he's also wearing a mask covering half of his face, is the Boss of the Lumière famiglia.
"Pleasure to meet you Ms. Aisha De La Torre. I'm Lucian Lumière, the Boss of the Lumière famiglia."
