9pm on Paris, France.
The city lights are bright as usual. The sound of cars screeching, vehicle, people talking to each other and the wind blowing seems to be loud today, to me.
'Should I just go and rest at home tonight?'
Eihns thought bubble up for a while. 'No, that place doesn't suit for the word,home'
After standing infront of a huge billboard for a while, he walks towards a bar, Le Crystal Noir.
"Bonjour, where's the restroom here?"
Eihns asks a staff there as soon as he arrives at the bar.
" Bonjour, if you go left from this room, you'll find a-"
"I'm not good with directions, can you please take me there?"
Eihns interrupts his sentence and asks nicely after that.
"Ahaha, sure,sure, Why not?"
Because the facility was nice there, the staffs also seemed nice and kind.
The staff smiles at him nicely and walks Infront of him while Eihns follows him. It was a long way where he had to listen all the blabbering of the staff. Maybe Eihns was tired from all the overworking, he found every single word annoying.
" We're here."
The staff bows and turns around to leave but Eihns grabs him and hit the back of his neck. It was that quick that the staff didn't get to let out even a single alphabet or a sound,let alone the reflex.
Thud The staff faints right there.
"Sorry." Eihns let's out a sigh.
******************************
Eihns walks towards the cabines privées looking for room number 352. It has been 23 minutes and Eihns gets anxious already. Even though there seem a rare cases to find people walking, the CCTV cameras stared at him. A staff walks Infront of a room and raises his hand to knock. He seemed nervous and uneasy. Eihns notices him and approaches him.
' I see, he is serving the drinks on room number 352.' Eihns feels relieved and lets out a smile.
"Are you serving here?"
Eihns asks as he looks at him.
The staff flinches and looks at him. He nods as he sweats. He seemed like he was about to cry. So pathetic.
'What's so scary thing there that scares him to death?'
"You go,let me do it."
Eihns speaks on a calm voice. It wasn't the motive but the staff felt those cold words comforting somehow.
The staff nods and bows to show gratitude. He was mute and so was Eihns for a while.
Eihns knocks on the door and a guy opens the door. The guy checks his name badge and outfit and let's him enters.
The room was filled with smokes. And the atmosphere? Chilly and dark. The amount of smokes that slowly ooze out, passing by Eihns, was not small.
' It's so suffocating here... I hate smokers'
Eihns observes everyone there while serving drinks carefully. Only 3 people? The meeting must be held on important agenda that it had to be secret...
"Why don't I introduce you to my daughter, huh?"
Voice sounds familiar, Who is he? Is he...? He...? Eihns' eyes widened for a second but he preferred to stay calm and quiet. Yet his rage grew hotter and hotter inside.
'That's it. I'll kill him right now. Right at this moment.' The thoughts of both his mind and heart were dangerous, for himself. It's not the right time to do it now.
The guy, that old man is the CEO of a big company, Gurkha peak Arsenal.
This company, which is formed in Nepal by founder Samir Wat Rai and CEO Smith Shah, holds a good connection with total 19 countries where it transports all the weapons, receiving good amount of money.
"Haha... What're you saying, sir? I'm very old for her. She needs a young, fine lad. Unlike me."
Another guy who was having meeting with the CEO replied.
Eihns serves drinks slowly on purpose to overhear them. He slowly served the drink to that guy.
Eihns looked up to him while serving, he got surprised. That guy was already looking at Eihns. His gaze was thrilling. Beneath the darkness of his hair, his eyes shone with a gente, luminous light. Rare and frightening, yet unsettlingly beautiful. Bright and clear, his greenish-blue eyes shone on the darkness. His pale skin...he looked like someone shaped by a cold, distant land. He was dressed all in black, his suit whispered of quiet elegance and shadow. Is he here straight from a funeral or he orchestrated himself?
It was just his 3 seconds of thoughts but somehow, it felt longer for him.
"Hahaha, you sure joke too much! How can you say that you're old Infront of an old man?"
"She's only 17 while I'm 27, how am I not considered old?"
" Okay,okay. I'll stop teasing you. You must be shy."
The nonsense conversation felt a waste of time. Eihns quiet desired to throw a punch at them.
'So the fucking important meeting is all about marriage and setting?'
Eihns looked at the assistant of the CEO and bowed to all of them.
"Enjoy your time~" he faked a smile before leaving. He held the trolley and move it to leave. He pushed the door and left. Maybe he couldn't sleep for 3 days, his head rung.
'At this cost, I am gonna die without marrying...'
After taking a few steps, the assistant from before ran to him and called him to the room again.
"Mr.Santoro wants to see you."
Eihns pupil shrank in shockness, he thought about all the possible outcomes. Among all of the outcomes,his this thought was the scariest.
'Did he find out who I am?'
But there's possiblity that they need meal or snack with that drink. Eihns didn't resist or ran away, he stepped before the assistant.
"Does Mr, Santoro perhaps want some snacks for drinks?"
Eihns asked to the assistant. They stopped Infront of the door as soon as the question finished. The answer was unpleasant but not unexpected.
"No."
