Serene

“Such things are a waste of time. Don't you think so too, Mr. Zhac?” The woman said while holding a gun, pointing the end of it at the man in front of her.

“I-I'm so s-sorry. R-Really. I'll pay you back. I-I p-promise, *sob* so please...”, the man said whimpering and sobbing. The woman scoffed while looking down at the man begging below her.

The room was dim. The one lamp that glowed emitted red light. A woman at the center sat on a chair. She wore a black suit with black vest, her long hair dancing freely. Despite the pitch black room, her beauty was undeniable. In front of her was a man in brown suit, with desperate eyes. Behind her was two men all in black not caring about the disturbing scene. And beside her was a man with glasses, quietly observing.

“That won't do. In this type of business, you ought to be careful. You'll never know who it was that you've messed with. Fortunately for you, it's me.” Her deep, chilling voice echoed through the room.

She stayed silent while playing with her revolver. Her slender hands behind a black gloves outlining the whole exterior of the gun.

A sudden ringing was heard.

It was the woman's phone. The four men around her made no noise, they simply waited. The woman looked at her phone, a light flashed at her eyes. She smiled as she answered the phone. “Yes, Kieya?” her voice was not like before, it changed into a sweet loving tone.

Seeing it as an opportunity, the man in front of her spoke again. Begging for mercy. The man beside her grabbed his neck and smack his head to the floor.

“Oh, no it was nothing. Yeah, I'll be there in a minute, bye!” After ending the call her smile faded. Her face wore an irritated look. She signaled the man holding the other to step back. She stood up and kick the man on the floor, making a loud thud.

“Idiots! Don't even know how to stay silent.” She said. She pointed her gun at him and fired.

One...Two...Three...

She brushed her hair away from her face and glared at the helpless man in front of her. “The car is ready.” The guy in glasses said. After another glance at the man in front, she sighed. She gave the gun to the man beside her and turned around.

“Take care of it”, she said before walking away. The three men bowed as she walked outside the room.

She went inside the car and drove away.

After stopping in front of a coffee shop, she calmed herself before going inside. “So, is it a new recipe?” she asked the girl at the counter. The girl in front of her was delighted at her presence.

“Serene! I'm glad you made it. I thought you were busy?” the girl said.

“I'll always have time for you. Let's see the new menu, you're talking about.” the woman said in a sweet voice.

“Okay!”
