Eyes Closed

5 ; The marshmallow man

August 31, 2018

The lady, Momo, guided me inside the elevator. I was about to tell her that I have an issue with tight spaces. But when the elevator opened, it was big enough for me to breathe— it was probably thrice the dimension of a standard elevator, enough to fit maximum of thirty People.

"So, Sana.." she started, as she hit the elevator button number twenty, but I quickly interrupted her.

"Wait, does everyone in your company knows about what I'm doing here?"

"Oh about that," she said. "No, not really. Just few of the employees here."

"What do you mean by few?"

"Closest friend and family of the boss that works here,"

"The boss you mean Mr Chou, right?"

"Yes, that's right." She answered seriously.

"So I'm assuming you're a friend?"

"Nuh, I'm his daughter.."

My eyes widen. "Wait," We looked at each other. Is she the daughter that's gonna have sex with me? "Yo– you're the daughter?"

She looked at me confused. "What? Oh, no!" She chuckled. "It's not me you're gonna be dealing with,"

"Then who?"

"My sister," she said while laughing.

I nearly rolled my eyes at her stupid response. Of fucking course. You both are the daughters of the company owner, I'm gonna be shocked if you're not sisters.

"You know, I'm not really his daughter, he adopted me when both my parents– who were his best friends– died in a car accident when I was thirteen," she informed me sadly.

"I'm sorry," I looked at her in pity but I quickly changed the topic as we wait for the elevator to halt. "So, uhm, this sister of yours.."

"Yeah? What about her?"

"Can you tell me things about her?"

"All you have to know is that she's stubborn as hell. She does not listen to anyone even if dad threatens her with disowning and cutting off all ties between her and the family,"

"But why... why would you guys buy virginity online for her then?"

"It's not all about just the virginity, Sana. Dad has another purpose,"

After she said that, the elevator doors opened. We both get off the lift and turned left only to be faced with a very large "lobby", and huge doors at the end of the floor.

I didn't have the chance and the guts to ask her about the other purpose she was talking about as she pulled me in the front desk and a lady with curl blonde locks greeted us. "Hi, you must be Sana Minatozaki?" I nodded.

"I'm Natasha Kim, the one you've been texting with this morning. Mr Chou's secretary?"

"Oh, of course I remember you. Glad I can finally put a face to the name," the three of us chuckled.

"Can you ask dad if he's ready to speak with Sana?" Momo asked Natasha.

"Of course," she nodded happily. "You guys wait here,"

The blondie walked to the large wooden doors at the end of the hall and entered it. After only seconds, she returned back. "You can go in now, Sana. And Momo? Mr Chou wants to talk to you for a couple of seconds,"

Momo and I both nodded as we walked down the hall. The well body built lady beside me looked happy yet intrigued. Whilst I feel bad for myself and the nerves in my veins kicks in harder and harder as we neared the Doors.

Momo pushed the doors and let me enter first and then she followed.

I didn't see anyone until the recliner that's facing the large glass windows turned around to face us.

And in that moment, I swear I could see the Marshmallow man.
