A blonde, half naked sinfully handsome man emerged into sight, he was definitely an eye feast with those perfectly toned abs and chiseled yet expressionless face, the man had a dangerous stare which was bore onto my face, unhesitatingly.
I felt as if the moment stopped and everything got frozen with his chilling cold stare, or perhaps he had the tendency to paralyze everything within the snap of his fingers, I felt something magnetic that withheld me from thinking anything else, except him.
"Who are you, woman?"
It was odd that I was being questioned in my own home, his voice rung into that quiet room, resonated completely velvety edged.
"Who are...I'm Syna."
I could not form the words while drooling at the man, the sudden switch sounded if I wanted to question him something else but different words escaped my mouth.
"Who are you? I mean what are you doing here and how did you get in?"
I tried to maintain my composure, generally I affected people with my delinquency nature but to my surprise I didn't cast any effect on him, I was more curious of his arrival rather shocked upon the sudden appearance of a man in my home.
"Aarrgh! It looks like I have been....."
The man got irritated at once that his face finally showed some movement, he held the portion of his nose in between the eyes and heaved a sigh. Later on he ogle at my room when his wandering eyes rested on me and stared at my appearance with disgust.
"You are not qualified enough to question me, human! You have already seen enough including eye feasting on me, when I'm in just a towel!"
My breath hitched, I couldn't comprehend what he was blabbering about but my heart raced fast, stupid glands were working more efficiently. His hazel eyes made my face flushed as he leaned closer to me, embracing my body into his arms while pulling closer, when a devilish smirk graced his face.
"It is a mistake, about which, I certainly do not have any idea that how it occurred. You need to forget everything now, goodbye!"
I was staring straight into his eyes, having no control over my body, when he placed a finger on my forehead and muttered something, after that everything disappeared.
[RING! RING!]
A harsh tone pricked my ears which interrupted my sleep, I rubbed my eyes and yawned as stretched my hand out to grab the phone to attend the call, my weary voice fell in the ears of the person present on the other side of the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello! Syna, it is grandpa. I knew you would be still asleep, you dead log! So, I called you myself to remind you of the agency interview."
I snapped opened my eyes upon his words and sat instantly.
"Oh! Owuh! grandpa I'm so sorry. Thank you, I will call you later, have to go."
I crept out of the satin sheets and surprisingly found myself fully dressed.
"Oh! looks like I dozed off in between."
I was thankful to Mr Lorenzo Perez, for calling me. He was the owner of the orphanage, I grew in and he was a father like figure for me.
My hair were already dried and the only things left were combing and wearing heels, I moved the brush through my hair haphazardly when realized my empty finger.
"Ow! Where did I leave my ring?"
I used to consider it a bad luck so a panic attack hit me hard and I ran towards the washroom, immediately remembering where did I put if off.
"Here it is, thank God. What would I do in the interview otherwise."
I slipped it into my finger as it unusually shone brighter than before, wore my shoes, tied hair and there I was ready for my quest. Tugging my handbag on the shoulder, once again I checked the notable things.
~Notepad
~Recording pen
~pepper spray
~A hidden microphone
~Microchip
After all, I am a journalist but currently more of a spy and could need those things, I zipped up my bag and hung onto my shoulder.
"Ready, Mr CEO? Syna Rhys is coming!"
I took inhaled deeply, mustering up my courage before leaving my room.
~~~~~~~~
Little did she know what was waiting for her, Syna wasn't supposed to be there for finding a big news, instead destiny planned for her to tame that lion once again! Who was waiting for her impatiently with a heart full of tides, passionate desires and confused emotions. Perhaps the snake of love had bit him too and he was dying with that heated passion!
The busy bustling city was wide awake with it's soaring high buildings touching the sky. Syna left her apartment, passed one block and then crossed the road towards the bus stand. She was about to cross when a luxurious Limo halted in front of her with a sudden screech.
The glass window went down and a suspicious young man in his twenties uttered, offering her a lift out of the blue.
"My dear, what are you doing here alone in such a blazing heat?"
The question was bizarre, of course she was waiting for the bus at the stand. What else someone would do in scorching heat, outing?
"I'm fine by being alone, sir, just waiting for a cab."
She forced a friendly smile not to be rude as heat was boiling her blood and frying her mind!
"Oh! I guess you are going for an interview but where to? I can drop you there fast before you melt."
He chuckled with a smirk knowing that she won't refuse, as Syna was already ogling her watch while holding the blue file and wearing the bag.
"To MacLaverty group, if you are at ease."
She responded as ascended the car, plopping into the seat. The man scanned her eerily making her gulp for once, pondering upon her impulsive decision.
"Nice bag, miss."
Syna clutched the bag tight as her skin tingled with goosebumps. Perhaps the man was suspicious of her, still she replied with the air of self-confidence.
"Thank you, sir."
He roared the limousine as Syna sighed to make herself comfortable and decided to do a little chit-chat.
"So, where are you headed to?"
"The same destination, Miss. To capture and to conquer!"
His voice filtered through the air like a hiss of snake who was ready to kill somebody. Syna could not comprehend the meaning behind his words but the way he spoke made her spooked for once.
Syna gulped twice thinking that she did a terrible mistake to board this limo, the car stopped at the signal close to their destination, Syna let out a loud sigh feeling relieved to reach alive but just then….
