He let out a chuckle. "Lucy, what a pleasure it is to see you." He spoke in a soft and husky tone.
She crossed her arms over her chest, tapping her foot against the tiled floors impatiently. "You called me here, Mr. Dragneel. Now, what is the reason that you wanted to see me?"
"Now, now, let's be patient, shall we?" He played with the pen in his hands.
"I want to offer you a compromise," he finally said, "a deal, if you would."
This caught her full attention. "What kind of 'compromise' are we talking about?" She asked slowly, skeptical about his tone of voice. It was smooth, yet rough. Husky, yet deep. Loving, yet... Challenging. And Lucy being Lucy just isn't one to back down from a challenge.
"15 Days." He stated, as if there was more to say.
"15 Days?" She repeated, tilting her head in confusion.
"Precisely. We've known each other for how long, now?"
"6 years, sir."
"Then what harm is a measly 15 days? Date me for 15 days, after that, you'll never have to worry about me bothering you again." He said, shocking the girl dearly.
Right when she was about to deny, he spoke again, "unless... You're not up for the challenge, of course."
This angered her. She slammed both fists on his desk, leaning her face much closer to his, letting out a hot breath on his lips, making his quiver in impatience.
"15 Days with you," she whispered, as if pondering on the idea.
"I'll do it."
Raymond hadn't taken five steps when the sack suddenly moved. He froze instantly and his skipping heart started running a hundred meter race. He tried to bring down his fear by blaming the wind for the occurrence but the sack moved again, very softly, and he knew that whatever is inside that sack is responsible for the movements. He discarded his fear and moved towards the sack. He looked around in utmost fear hoping that some of the scenes in Hollywood movies would not manifest; where police men would round up good Samaritans assuming them to be murderers. The environment was utterly dark and he could not see anything asides bushes. He reached down and pulled down the loose top of the sack and what manifested before him was the face of a human being. His heart almost stopped from fear as his prediction had become reality. Raymond's breathing was not coordinated at all and he had gone pale. The face was slightly covered with mud but the entire hair was immersed in it. From the hair, he knew it had to be a girl so he pulled the sack down to the waist line of the body with his shivering hands. He looked up and nearly died of fright when he met the eyes of the girl slightly open and in his direction. He started wondering if she was a spirit or a witch sent to kill him but then he saw how pale she looked and warded off his vague thought. He glimpsed a thick mass of blood on her stomach and winced internally. She started moving uncomfortably and seemed to be doing that unconsciously. He hurriedly pulled out the sack and threw it into the bush. Without even considering the risk of picking her up, he whisked her into his arms and made for his car.
Raymond is already frustrated with his relationship with Tinuke his fiance but can't end it..... Not until he met Lucy in a sack.
