"You wanna know what happens when you play with fire?"
"You get burnt?" She answered questioningly.
Shaking his head at her naivety,a devilish smile tug at his lips and he shut his eyes delightfully.
"Nahhh. Relief. You get a soothing sensation...
The club was at its peak, various jams blasted through the speaker. Bodies rubbed against each other. The smell of sweat, sex, liquor filled the air.
For the umpteenth time that night, Lexis cursed under his breath. He threw a disdain look at his ringing cellphone. Frustrated he couldn't hear a damn thing due to the loud noise, Lexis successfully excused himself, squeezing his way through. Exiting the VIP section, he muttered to himself, not the least disappointed that his best friend, Carl, hadn't showed up yet again.
Lexis couldn't help but feel disappointed and disgusted. Disgusted with the fact that girls wouldn't get the drill and still flaunt themselves flirtatiously at him. The girls at the club wouldn't even help matters. He has no interest whatsoever in them. Doesn't their peanut sized brain get the drill?
"Hey handsome," A half clad lady winked seductively at him, flaunting her exposed thigh.
'You asked for it by coming here. What else were you expecting?' His mind mocked.
"Geez!!" Lexis murmured, hastening his steps, subconsciously bumping into someone. "Ow. I'm so sorry."
The lady in question fixed her face cap, hurriedly picking up her fallen wallet. Lexis bent to pick up his dismantled phone, hoping to catch a glimpse of her face but the girl was smarter. Graciously avoiding him, the lady in question muttered some incoherent words under her breath and walked off. He didn't even make out her face. She was clad in black overall and it was dark in there already.
Lexis dashed after her, but was utterly disappointed when he caught no glimpse of the stranger. How strange? He thought.
She literally vanished without a trace. Lexis shrugged, returning into the bar, where he was hit with mixture of sweat and excitement. He dipped his hand into his denim pocket to retrieve his credit card, only to discover his business card missing. It was still there couple of minutes ago.
It literally vanished when the stranger showed up. Uh-oh.
What da hell?

"Are you even listening?!"
As if sensing being talked to, he untangled and lifted his legs off the desk and lazily sat upright, removing his ear buds. "You talking to me?"
A round of sigh echoed throughout the board room. Rolling his eyes, he muttered something like 'geez, these old cargos' and proceeded to insert the ear bud in once again. He had barely survived the hangover of last night, and the board room was the last place on earth he needed to be at the moment.
"Don't you dare!" David chided frustratedly. Then added in a somewhat mild tone, "We are asking for your contribution for this upcoming project. Any idea, sir?" He gritted out.
