Eva tried not to roll her eyes when she turned and saw his open-mouthed gape. But she lost to the urge, and sighed. “Hurry up,” she snapped impatiently, stepping through the door. The doorman bowed his head slightly to her, and cast the man behind her a suspicious look. “Evening, ma’am,” the doorman intoned in his deep voice. “Just one guest tonight, ma‘am?” Eva paused briefly, and gave him a curt nod. “Yes, Emile. Only one. No one else is to enter the building unless they have been cleared previously.” The man bowed his head again, sweeping his hat from his head elegantly. “Of course, ma’am. Consider it done.” Eva stepped through the doors and through the plush lobby, her heels clicking loudly on the perfectly polished floor. The outside may have been business-like, but the inside was more like a five star hotel, with an art deco ceiling, chandeliers, red carpets, and beautifully intricate masonry carved into the walls, stairs, and concierge desk.
Behind the desk, a very stately looking young man sat. When he saw Eva’s approach, he immediately scrambled around the desk to greet her by sweeping his hat from his head and pacing along beside her. He cast a glance to the man following her as if wondering why he was here. “Good evening, ma’am. Will you be needing anything tonight?” Eva paused to consider, then turned to the concierge. “Yes, of course. Have the cook send dinner up to my private rooms. Two plates, if you please. I want them promptly at eight o’clock.” The young man nodded. “Yes, ma’am. Anything else, ma’am?” Eva shook her head, seemingly unperturbed by the multitude of questions she was forced to answer upon her arrival. “That will be all.” She turned and beckoned for him to follow her, before she stepped down a half and into a waiting elevator. “Get in,” she snapped, her eyes glowing fiercely.
“I don’t believe I ever got your name. How forgetful of me. If you are going to be in my employ, then I suppose I must know your name.” She seemed faintly put-out, as though it was an inconvenience. “I will also require the name of your associate. And a list of anything you will need.” She cast him a faintly distasteful glance, and then blew out a quick breath that might have been a sigh if it was any slower. “I suppose you may move your things here. Just don’t bring anything…improper. Understood?” She cast a glance to the necklace around his neck; she’d caught his worried look in the car, and the way his hand instantly went to the pendant around his neck. “You are free to wear that…thing,” she said, waving her hand dismissively. “Just keep it out of sight when you are on call.” She raised a delicate brow, pursing her pink lips, and turned her head to regard him fully. “I require information about your colleague. Gender, name, profession, past. Whatever you can give me, you give me. I also require information about you. Mostly the same thing. That, and I am curious to know what sort of jobs-” here she paused, and snorted faintly. “-if any, you held in the past. Your experience. Etcetera, etcetera.”
She waved a hand as the elevator finally ‘dinged,’ at the top floor. The doors slid open, and she stepped into a long, expensively decorated hallway. “Follow me,” she ordered, walking briskly down the hall until she reached intricately carved double doors. "These are my private quarters. Very few people are allowed up here; you, and possibly your associate, will be two of them. You are not to enter these rooms if I am not here.” She pushed open the doors, and stepped inside. The penthouse was decorated with expensive, Victorian like furniture. A soft glow from a few expensive looking lamps and a chandelier above them lit the room. There was a darkened hallway, which led to the bedroom and other rooms, but she didn’t bother to explain them. The kitchen was modern, well-stocked, and clean. There was a large fireplace and television above it, and the room was encased in giant windows instead of walls facing out across the bright, sparkling lights of the city. Eva walked over to a table, placing her briefcase on top of it.
“I will be back in a moment. Make yourself comfortable,” she intoned, before she disappeared down the darkened hallway. When she returned, she was wearing a pair of dark jeans and a black spaghetti strap, and bare feet. She looked a whole lot less business-like, but no less intimidating as she sat down in a chair, leaning back casually. It was clear that her clothes still probably cost more than a month’s worth of food for the average person, however, as she crossed her legs in front of her. “Now, speak,” she commanded, frowning at him from across the table.
I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!
A great adventure! +Imp. Documents+ +Menagerie+ +Wishlist+ +Journal+
