Melissa stared at Quinn like he was mad, but Quinn just smiled at her reassuring her. "I knew you wouldn't believe me, but I have proof to prove myself". Quinn put out the cigarette in his hand, as he rounded the desk, Melissa moved closer to his table as he placed a file in front of her.
Melissa grabbed the file with shaky hands as she slowly opened it, the file had a picture of her younger self with a kid and they kissed. "How is this possible? I have no memory of this whatsoever" Melissa said as she flung the file on the table. " And if this is the reason you wanted to hire me, forget about it" she didn't even hesitate as she turned around walking out of the room, but as her hand touched the door knob, Quinn started talking.
"It's part of the reasons you're here but I shouldn't have put all that on you, let's actually act like I never said anything and I'll show you were you can apply for the job" Quinn said returning back to his calm demeanour, Melissa closed her eyes. She was so confused, yes, the kid in that picture was her but how could she be kissing him?
It was then it hit her, the kid had that same cold look Quinn has in his eyes. Could it be? She asked herself as she turned around to face him, as much as she didn't want to work here, she didn't have a choice either.
"Sure, it's not like I can wipe my brain clean of what I heard but this job matters more to me. Where do I start?" Melissa said and it made Quinn fall in love with her once again. The will for her to simply forgive and forget things like this is a good sign that she might actually give him a chance. "Come on".
Azrael stared at Kara with a slight disappointment, she was nothing like her sister. She was bratty, spoiled and rude, she also wore too much perfume and it made him so sick. Melissa on the other hand has this dark chocolate and floral scent that almost made him go mad.
"Uhm Azrael?" He heard Kara's small voice snap him out of his thoughts as he saw how hard he held her hand.
"I'm sorry, I zoned out for a bit" he quickly apologised as Kara massaged her aching wrist staring at him with a weird smile.
"Okay, it's fine. So why did my mum set up the meeting exactly, because I have no idea why the fuck I'm here, all I know is that I just gotta be here" Kara said as she took a bite of her tiramisu. Azrael couldn't even date this girl, game or not, he had to interest in her.
"I have no idea either, maybe you should ask her" Azrael said as Kara shrugged, she looked up at Azrael and he was staring at her closely.
"Do I have something on my face?" She asked as she dropped her phone, picking her small mirror from her purse as she checked her face.
"You look and act nothing like Melissa" Azrael suddenly blurted and Kara turned to him with a glare.
"Don't you ever compare me with my sister, we are nothing alike. I made a mistake even coming here" Kara said as she picked her bag walking out of the restaurant. Azrael chuckled as he leaned into his chair, he wondered what Melissa was doing when he isn't around, not that her life revolves around him though.
Reaching for his phone inside his pocket, he turns on his tracking app as he looked at the location of Melissa phone. "What the heck, what is she doing at Quinn's company?" He couldn't help but ask himself as he stood up, pulling a wad of cash out of his pocket he flung it on the table as he walked out of there. His driver was waiting just by the corner, Azrael got into the car as he turned on the blue bulb in it. "Drive to Quinn's company" .
Melissa loved the company so far and she was giving the role of the managing director of the personnel team. So her job was to hire and fire people, but mostly she would be reading and stamping important files. There was a down side of it, on her first day, a huge work load was already placed on the desk waiting for her. "Please kill already" she groaned as the finished quarter of the files, she sipped the iced coffee on her table as she ran her fingers thumbs her hair.
"You can do this Lissa" she breathed to herself as she got back to work, she didn't want to slack off, not now that she had seen a job and Quinn warned her that even though she is his best friend he wouldn't go easy on her. There is no partiality in business you work to earn and go to hire places than you already are. But people like Kara sleep they're way up to the top.
Melissa wasn't even half way through her work when she heard commotion outside her door. She couldn't help but want to take a look, she opened the door as she picked outside. Only stopped ses a group of female staffs screaming at something, she moved closer and saw Azrael get out of his car. "What is this fucker doing here?" Melissa couldn't help but ask, but Azrael looked up at them, his eyes met hers before he winked, she gave him her middle finger before she turned away. She ran to the bathroom as she locked it behind her, even if anything happens she definitely doesn't want to get spotted by Azrael and he'd do something extremely stupid.
Azrael smirked as he walked into Quinn's office, Quinn who wasn't expecting anyone and especially not his rude cousin raised his head to look at Azrael with a frown.
"Did we have an appointment of some sort?" He asked as he leaned into his chair looking at Azrael with a calm expression.
"Who gave you the fucking right to hire my wife"
