Art Of Seduction
ERIKA "How do we do that?" "But first, you okay right? You feeling better?" "Yeah, now tell me." "I'll tell you about it but you have to be more open minded about it," Metin said, almost like he was unsure she would agree to it. "Go on." "No offence but.. you already know what people think about you and how you are perceived. You are hated widely and you're called names everywhere. People think you're enjoying your lavish life out there somewhere in another country without any regrets, they don't know the truth," he said. "But it's all a trap. I never did anything to-" "That's not the point here. It's a good thing you have a tarnished reputation and we can use that for our own benefit." "How? How can it get any worse?" "If we somehow show the world that you're related to Nigel Asher, your reputation would make him go down the same road that you did. If he has a bad face in front of the media, his value and influence will go down immediately and that's when we can gain back th

Whatever you wish
ERIKA "I..", Erika was supposed to be a different version of herself but the closeness and the way he looked had completely distracted her from the point. "Here.. I'm here to complete my job." "Job? Are you insane? What job?" He really was back to how he was before, his eyes showed nothing but irritation. "You were gone all day, I was asked to clean this room up but you weren't there at all so I couldn't enter. You locked it as well. I just want to clean this room up and leave, that's it," she said, somehow getting her voice back and the willpower to not let her eyes hover. "Get out, right now." "I won't." "GET OUT." "I WON'T! Don't make this hard for me. I don't want this job to pile up on me tomorrow. I want to take it easy, I'm still recovering. I'm sorry I expected you to be understanding!" Erika yelled back, letting out her stubborn side that caught him off guard for a split second. "Just let me finish it and I'll leave. I won't bother you or.. her." Nigel stared back at h

New Normal
ERIKA "Isn't this what you asked me to do? Tell me what you like, I'll do exactly what you want me to," she said, a docile and but needy look in her eyes. His face changed for a while when he heard those words, like he was reminded of something. But he quickly retrieved it back and went back to the staring at her, a little confused when she started playing along with him. "If I ask you to do this kind of stuff, you'll do it then?" He raised an eyebrow, making Erika look up at him from his chest to his eyes and a subtle smile played on her lips. "I will do anything you want me to," she replied like she was nothing but a robot. He slowly got off the bed and Erika sat up, following all his moves. She knew trying to be believable was nearly impossible for her after so much that had happened between the two of them. It was better if he considered herself indifferent. But trying to seduce him would be too far if not done correctly. After all, all this was supposed to be an act. Simply

A Gentleman
ERIKA She could feel a soft tingle in her stomach as she took her bag and stepped out. She had a love hate relationship with the fact that no matter how he behaves or whatever plan she has for him, somehow leads her to reach a tender part of herself. She could not stop thinking about it as she walked behind him through the corridor, ready to leave, without knowing what to expect from these upcoming days. There were no one at the gate as he proceeded to open it himself, waiting by it to let her head to the car first. Erika did it with a hesitant demeanour, realising he was showing how he would've acted towards her if there weren't any signs of hatred between them. He walked behind her and before she could, he held the door to the passenger's side open for her. She looked at him with awe. "I am a gentleman.. until it comes to you," he said with a hidden story behind the look in his eyes. Erika wanted to ask but she suppressed that urge, after all, arguing wouldn't be very normal for

Look at you the same
ERIKA The silence that spread after that felt like it would last forever. She felt much more on edge when she was not talking or distracting herself and with Nigel Asher beside her, she felt stiff. Like she would be scolded if she even moved, she couldn't be at ease. She had never been comfortable with him truly, because no matter the pretence, they weren't close. And their intentions for each other were never peaceful or of no harm. They both knew that. She only took deep breaths and tried to think of positive thoughts that were too hard to come by considering what has been happening in her life. She took the drink with shaky hands when the flight attendant handed it to her with a smile. She placed it down and looked down at her hands, not very okay with everything around her. There was nothing she could fall back on to earn a moment of relief from her fears. "Are you okay?" Nigel asked and she somehow looked up, trying to look the part as she nodded to a yes. "What's going on?"

Love Game
ERIKA "Because..", he started and when his eyes locked with her, she saw the pure look of desire in his eyes that took her aback immediately. "..it will be difficult for me to look at you the same "normal" way if you sleep here next to me. I don't know how that will go." "Don't," she said, immediately looking away as if it was wrong to even hear that from his mouth. "Why?" He asked, visually confused. "When you say things like this, I genuinely don't understand you. None of it. And it makes me feel like a fool when I sit and look back at you trying to figure out if you're being for real or you're testing me to witness the exact moment I fold to go back to teasing and mocking me," she spewed out without a stopper and she didn't really need one. It was time they were honest to say the least. "Do you really care that much?" He asked, raising an eyebrow with forced surprise. "No." "You're lying. None of these would've been your concern if you didn't give a shit. You'd have continu

Isn't this wrong?
ERIKA Once the awareness spread within them that the deal was on, the air immediately shifted around them. She felt a little jammed up when she looked at him but she was sure he had already started plotting. Which only meant she should too. Erika took a moment to think about what she could even do to compel him. She thought about Metin's words and realised how perfect this opportunity was. He wanted her to seduce Nigel, to trick him into her lies and waiting for him to get close enough to make a pitfall. And that's when Metin's plan would come into play. But it did come with some regulations. Erika was sure to not touch him or get close to him in a way that would look like she physically used him and then made him fall into her trap, it just felt cruel, even if it was Nigel Asher she was talking about. She promised to herself that it would be harmless flirting. Walking to the cliff but never taking a leap. Even if Nigel was drop dead gorgeous, she believed herself enough to not be s

Come Closer
ERIKA Nigel Asher smiled too, knowing he wasn't up against someone who wouldn't give him a tough competition. "This will be fun," he said, nodding once to himself, only making her intentions and ideas grow wider. She knew what were his pins and needles and she sure wanted to press them to get a reaction out of him. It was all fun and games after all, an ode to the newfound normalcy between them. But this almost always drove her to think where they would stand if things were different. If everything was normal, if he was a well meaning man, if he wasn't planning to snatch Erika's father's legacy completely. What would they be if not enemies? They got out of the car and entered the event. It was a summit with leading companies from all over the world. One company was invited from each country to meet and build up a rapport with each other. This opens up further business opportunities for both the companies and gives a greater scope for globalisation. Erika was relieved that she wou

Jealousy
ERIKA "And I wanna push you off the terrace to see how you react. You would like that, won't you?" She said with utter confidence that only made him laugh louder. "Come here and try. If you can even get me to bend over backward, you win," his confidence made her want to gauge his eyes out of their sockets. "Come close." And she just couldn't help herself as she rushed over to him at the blatant challenge. She rushed over to him and placed both hands on his chest and pushed with all her might, certain that he had to bend over if not fall because that wasn't what she wanted to do for obvious reasons. She put all her force over to that push to make him at least bend back but he did not move a single inch. He stood there with his cocky grin, making her look like a clown trying to fool herself. She pushed harder and harder, her body closing in on him as she tried to push with all her weight. What was more annoying was how his hands were at his side, he didnt even need support.

Weaknesses
ERIKA After that, there was nothing left to say. Nigel backed up the car and got it running again, back to the hotel. They entered the room and he motioned Erika to go freshen up first. That's what she did, she quickly took her shower and came out. The awkwardness had only increased between them, worse than what they were back at the mansion. It was his turn to freshen up and watching him enter the washroom, Erika decided to leave. She needed a breath of fresh air. She stepped out of the room and closed the door behind her, not knowing where she was trying to go. She knew the corridors and directions a little bit so she just decided to explore. There wasn't much to see but she knew the one place that could instantly make her feel better, and when she looked down the floors, she saw the pool area right away. When she reached the pool, she sat on the edge and dipped her legs in the chilled water. Her breath relaxed and so did her rushing brain. It was as if she could finally breathe
