âChinatsu.â The voice softly resounded after stepping into the room. Chinatsu didnât bother to turn around but instead, unfolded her arms and clasped them behind her back. The other woman took this cue to speak. âYour dress is gorgeous today, miss.â Chinatsu turned her head at the comment, and narrowed her gaze.
âComplimenting me wonât get you a bonus, or any extra assignments.â Chinatsu cut in sharply.
The woman visibly hunched over the papers clutched to her chest. âNo, maâam, I didnât mean it that way. I was just thinking that the way the blue fit over your body was nice. The flowing top part and the sheath part of the skirt is attractive.â
Chinatsu shrugged and turned fully to face the woman in response. âYes, yes. Iâm certain I figured this out when I bought it. I wouldnât buy it if it didnât compliment me.â
The woman nodded and went on. âThatâs right. Maâam?â The woman queried. Chinatsu tilted her head ever so slightly to acknowledge the inquiring tone. âI was told to give these folders to you. Theyâre the profiles for the new upcoming models that are working here in Las Vegas.â Her face brightened just a bit which induced Chinatsu to scoff at her.
âJust set them on the desk next time. Donât bother telling me about it. Iâm CEO of this company for a reason, Lanaâ
The woman blushed but her expression as taken aback as she rushed forward and set them on the desk. âSorry. Iâll do better next time.â She scampered towards the door but Chinatsu stopped her with a soft cough.
âItâs okay. Youâll get used to it here. After all, since youâre my new assistant, we need to be on good terms. Are you free tomorrow afternoon?â
Lana brightened once more causing Chinatsu to flinch. âYes maâam. I am. What do you have planned?â Chinatsu blinked slowly.
âNothing. Weâll eat lunch together and head to scope out the area.â Chinatsu waved her off.
âOkay. Well, I guess thatâs still great. Iâll be there maâam.â Lana departed quietly. She was such a soft-spoken and excitable woman. However, she did her job well when she was up to it.
Chinatsu tabbed through the folders before heaving a sigh and turning away from them. She would look through them later.
She slipped the dress over her shoulders and smoothed it over her body. The tight clubbing dress rode high on her legs but enough to give the woman enough elegance not to end up being dubbed a slut. The playful frills at the shoulder gave the dress a lighter meaning. Her short pixie-style hair curls around her sharp cheeks and her full lips curved in a smirk, harsh teeth like a monsterâs glinting in the light. Her long legs were perfect if not for the one flaw being how pale she was. She strode over to the other mirror, testing how she walked in the strappy heels. It was sexy, confident, and certainly seductive as she put one foot in front of the other like a model. The CEO of a modeling company was held to even higher standards than the models. Her light blue eyes ran over the features one more time her: hair, eyes, makeup, figure, dress, and legs. âFlawless.â
Chinatsu stepped into the club scene and scanned over the crowd. The mortals were feisty tonight, thrumming along to the beat of the bass in the background. The beat reverberated through her skull, pumping adrenaline through her body. She hissed through her closed lips and chose a seat at the bar, claiming the spot like she owned the place. No one dared to oppose her either. The look in her eye told them not too or they would get into a type of trouble they didnât like. She looked to the bartender, satisfied with sizing up her prey. âGrasshopper please.â The bartender stared at her and she could tell he wasnât sure if he liked what he saw or not. Finally he nodded and started on her drink.
She leaned forward; resting her elbows on the bar and watched the mortals dance on the center floor. Some called to her, beckoning her with waving and other gestures but she declined them with a chuckle. Humans were silly and she disliked them. She disliked anyone she didnât know to begin with. There was no worthy prey here and it was disappointing.
