Trapped With The Devil
Section 30
“What are you doing?”
Eros just returned to work and found Selena was rummaging through the drawer beside her bed.
“Me!” Selena heaved a sigh of relief after finding her phone back. The woman turned around and looked at Eros with no interest. “What?”
“How did you get into my room?”
“Hmm? How ya?” Selena tilted her head, meaning to mock. “Didn't after marrying later this house will be mine? Including this room, of course.”
“You don't need that phone.”
“Why? I bought this phone with my own money, kok.”
Eros sighed softly while turning his face away. Her hand moved to hold Selena who was about to leave after answering all her words boldly. A woman is like a chameleon, can change at any time in a short time and almost manage to fool her. Or indeed.had succeeded. Because Eros no longer knows what 'surprise' Selena will give after this.
“Restore the phone,” Eros command does not want to be denied. “When I say you don't need it, it means you don't need it.”
Selena muttered indistinctly as she held out the phone to Eros. But all of that was just a trick because when Eros almost grabbed the object, Selena quickly hid her phone behind the body.
A smile of victory adorned his face. “I will not listen to the speech of the person who never listens to the speech of others,” he said as he threw Eros' hand out of his hand. Then he looked without looking again. Not to forget, close the door hard as a bonus.
Eros clenched his hands and smiled wryly. The woman really changed— as she said.
**
It was their first time having dinner in the house. Ever since the dish was delivered to the dinner table, only the sound of forks and spoons rang out. Eros did not say anything, but his eyes were observant scanning every move made by Selena who was sitting across the table. The woman looked calm as she sliced through the meat and bribed it voraciously.
Tonight Selena is wearing one of the dresses that Eros just bought a few days ago. Thinking about the taste of Selena's clothing that was so ancient, now the woman always looks fashionable. Even so, while at home Selena almost never polish her face.
“Don't keep looking at me or you won't slice your meat properly.”
Selena realized it, but Eros didn't care. He blatantly looked at the woman after putting down his tableware. “I will grant one of your requests—one more week we will get married.”
Selena was not surprised. This was indeed what he wanted after Eros stripped him of his pride without remaining. Even though Selena was so tempted to throw the crystal glass that was beside her, but she again tried to think clearly. To fight people like Eros, physical violence is not the best option, because basically he has lost in terms of strength. It takes another, more subtle yet deadly way. It's like hiding poison in honey.
“I agree,” Selena said later, still reluctantly raising her head and staring at Eros. “I hope you make a fancy wedding party.”
Eros chuckles. “ Didn't expect you'd ask for such a thing.”
Selena glanced at Eros with her tail. “No thought?” he raised his glass. “As you know me only..”.
Eros's naughtiness vanished. Selena's every word now is like a bullet that would brutally shoot her. Eros almost always lost the word, but that does not mean he will succumb so easily.
“How I want to stuff your lips with my lips this.” Eros grinned with a hardened jaw.
Selena glares. “If that happens, then your fate will be the same as the meat that is on top of my plate.”
“It sounds scary.”
“I'm not scaring you.”
“But I'm scared.”
“From fear, you look like someone who is challenging me.”
“Challenging?” Eros smiled strangely. “Since the beginning you were the one who challenged me, Beautiful.”
“Alright, whatever you say.” Selena wanted to end the dinner quickly. He's no longer tasteful. “Tomorrow I will meet with Orlando Cloe to discuss cooperation. I want you to give me a car—without a driver, of course.”
“She contacted you..” That's not a question.
“That's why I need my phone. My money comes from there. You know how much loss you've made?” Selena laughed dryly. “If I refuse this project, you will also be in a difficult position, right?”
The name Cloe Enterprise cannot be underestimated. Even the shares of the company his father left behind were still 0.01% of Cloe's. Although thin but it's worth millions of dollars.
Eros blinked, glancing at Selena who was sipping a drink without turning her gaze. Selena's a smart woman, Eros has to admit that.
“Like it or not you're going with my guy. So you don't have to bother driving.”
Selena wanted to curse but she quickly swallowed all her absorbency. He wondered what was inside Eros' head that the man had become so ignorant?
**
Eros was frowning when the next morning he saw Selena looking all yellow when they met in the yard. The woman also wore floppy hats that were so synonymous with summer.
“Your fantasy is like going for a vacation,” Eros said as Selena passed by to enter the parked car in front of her car.
“I only wear what you have given me. I can't talk to you because I'm sure Orlando Cloe won't like waiting too long.”
BRACKET!
Selena sat on the back bench and closed the door without hesitation. Eros had glanced at James—foot hand and driver who will drive Selena this morning.
The black-eyed man nodded slowly from the steering bench. Soon the car carrying Selena leaves the yard, while Eros enters his own car. Without realizing that Mrs William witnessed it all from somewhere.

“Here, Miss.”
A tall woman leads Selena to a room on the top floor of the Cloe Enterprise. There Orlando was sitting in his room while looking at the expanse of the city.
“Master, Miss Selena has arrived.”
Orlando turned his chair around and immediately smiled brightly when he saw Selena standing at the door with one of his receptionists.
“Thank you, Tia. You can work back.”
The receptionist lowered his head for a moment before exiting Orlando's room and closing the door.
“Happy to meet you again, Selena.” Orlando got up from the chair and directly extended his hand.
Selena welcomed without hesitation. “Thank you. I'm also glad to see you again.”
Orlando chuckled while releasing his hand. “You must be depressed because you are always next to Eros, right?”
Selena's eyebrows are up. Why does he say it as if he knows everything?
Orlando simply returned a smile while embracing Selena to turn around, heading for the exit. “How about chatting it up over breakfast?”
Selena couldn't resist because she happened to not have breakfast either.
