Getting ready and looking decent wasn't something hard to do on my own. I had experience in getting ready, fixing my own hair and make up. Somehow Lucas had gotten some of my things from my apartment brought here for me, some clothes, few shoes, my makeup and hair products and so on. According to him the rest of my stuff or trash, as is my apartment and whoever cleaning it out and getting rid of things could handle them since I no longer owned that apartment. Fortunately I didn't have anything sentimental at that apartment which he left, sure some of my old clothes which I always loved and jewelry were left behind but maybe it was a good thing not having them would help me start over fresh without remembering events attached to them.

The bag which Lucas brought me earlier had a simple sleeveless black straight dress which rest few inches down my thigh with a split up one leg, a black strappy heels and a silver purse. Don't ask me how Lucas know my feet size in order to get these shoes in my size or if he was the one who get them but both the dress and heels fit my perfectly. I remembered Lucas said his boss wanted to meet me and I was to be ready by seven so I wasted no time in doing just that. I was extremely nervous to meet however this boss was, I had a feeling that this meeting wasn't a friendly one. If Lucas was this serious and scary, what would his boss be like?

I didn't want to be late and get on Lucas's bad side therefore after showering I started working on getting ready immediately. I had opt to wear my hair in a tight high ponytail, I didn't know what tonight's meeting means for me so I decided on doing a light makeup, which was just some face powder, eyeliner, mascara and pink lipgloss. The only jewelry I had on was a pair of small diamond stud earrings. If I was going to be killed tonight or something, I don't believe my appearance would matter. Looking at myself in the mirror, I thought I looked alright so taking a deep breath I decided to leave the room and see if Lucas was ready to leave.

The minute Lucas spotted me, he gave me an appreciative look before telling me to come along. Lucas held on to my upper arm as we walked towards the elevator, it was like he believe I was going to try and run or something.

"You don't have to keep holding on to me every time we're not inside your apartment you know" I said to him as we entered the elevator. " I'm not going to run okay "

"That would've been a stupid choice too if you tried that" Lucas said before moving his jacket aside to let me see the gun tucked into his waist.

"W-would you actually shoot me?" I managed to asked despite being so nervous.

"Don't be too eager to find out" Lucas warned.

I decided not to say anything else and provoke him further into actually using that gun on me. Lucas led me through the lobby and to his car. I tried to remain quiet as he drove off. I tried to peeped at him from side ways when he wasn't looking. He was really handsome now that I've noticed it. How on earth could a guy this nice looking be so scary and ... I don't know- ruthless?

"What?" I heard Lucas asked causing me to snap out of my thoughts.

"N-nothing" I stuttered hanging my head.

"You were staring" he replied.

"I know, I was just...

Never mind" I sighed.

"Just ask" Lucas said as he kept his eyes on the road.

"Ask what?" I asked him confused.

"You've been starting at me for the past couple of minutes, I assume you have something you want to know?" Lucas responded.

"Uhm...where are we going exactly?" I decided to ask him.

"I told you the boss wants to meet you" was Lucas's only respond.

"Yeah but boss of what? I'm clueless to everything" I told him.

"You'll know all you need to know when we get there" Lucas replied.

"Where?" I asked once again. Why can't this guy give me a straight answer.

"His club-INFERNO" Lucas replied.

Oh god no.

I just got out of working at an indecent strip club and now Lucas is taking me to his boss at another club!? Was I being pawned off at another indecent club to be owned and controlled by another boss? Was this the whole point of getting me clean and me dressing up to come here tonight?

"Uhm...Am I..." I started asking but Lucas cut me off.

"Its not a strip club, you're not being sold back into that life" Lucas answered before I finished asking.

"Oh" I sighed relief. "How did you know I was going to asked that?"

"Your whole attitude and demeanor just changed the minute I mentioned a club" Lucas responded.

"Oh" I replied slouching in the seat.

***

"Your boss owns this club?" I said to Lucas as we got out of the car.

"I said that already didn't I?" Lucas responded.

"I know, its just that... What am I to expect when I go in?" I asked nervously.

"I don't think its anything to worry much about. Anything that's going to happen, I'm sure you've experienced worst" Lucas said with a serious expression. "Now come on".

"That makes me feel so much better" I muttered to myself sarcastically.

Lucas put a hand on the small of my back as he led me inside the club. One would think that an act of such was an intimate one or for someone who cares about you but I know better. I know the only reason his hand was there is because he didn't want me to run away and he probably know him dragging me by the arm would look really suspicious. I was amazed by the interior of the club but I had no time to really be all admiring the surrounding because I was too nervous about what was going to happen next. Lucas led me to a stairway which I'm guessing obviously led upstairs to maybe some private area or VIP area. After reaching the top Lucas and I made our way to a lounge. I guess this was really a VIP area because up here was less crowded and mostly had guys dressed in expensive looking suit. There wasn't a lot of them but at different areas you could see them lounging around, chatting, some playing games and others had a female on their arm. It didn't look bad as Lollipop Tease had been, in all honesty it had a different aura about the place. I wasn't sure how to feel being up here but something about this room just emit power, authority, danger amongst others.

Lucas walked passed some of the guys who immediately started looking at me weirdly which made me feel extremely uncomfortable and under their scrutiny. If I wasn't wrong I'm sure some seemed quite amused with seeing me with Lucas while some gave him a respectful or appreciated look or nod. It was like Lucas knew most of these guys or something, I haven't quite figure out what on earth was up. Lucas led us to an area where there was this long sofa type chair and in that chair there was this guy and a female making out. You couldn't see their faces since she was in his lap and her head and hair were blocking their faces, but it was obvious. I twitched uncomfortably when Lucas stopped right there. Seriously, if we were going to be waiting on his boss you is probably some old guy, couldn't we wait at another sofa? Why did he chose to stop at this one where this couple was here displaying all the PDA? I know it is weird that I feel uncomfortable seeing others display this much PDA considering I was practically living in a club which demanded it and I had to partake in before.

"Can you two stop eating each other's faces for a couple of minutes?" Lucas said after clearing his throat to get their attention.

"Great its Lucas... Ofcourse. Why am I not surprised?" The girl said irritated rolling her eyes as she pulled back from kissing the guy.

"I'd say you have the worst timing ever. If I didn't know any better I'd think your job is to be a cockblocker- you're always ruining intimate moments" the guy said seriously as he position the woman on his lap so that he could look at Lucas properly.

He had a deep accent which meant he wasn't exactly American.

I have to admit that he was extremely good looking and hot, not to mentioned his female partner, she was also extremely gorgeous.

"How am I cockblocking? Were you two about to get it on right here in the lounge in public?" Lucas fired back.

"I'll hurt you" the guy said seriously. I couldn't tell if he was playing or actually being serious.

"You said you wanted to meet the girl, well here she is" Lucas said as he pulled me forward. "This is Amy".

What!!?

I'm in shock. His this guy Lucas's boss? Seriously? He was young, he doesn't even look much older than Lucas. Even though I wasn't aware of Lucas's age, but I'm guess he was in his late 20s. Which makes this guy probably in his late 20s or even early 30. When Lucas said his boss wanted to meet me I was thinking of some old guy with a pot belly or something, not a young hot male like himself. I was sure shocked and surprised was written all over my face.

"So you're Amy" The guy said seriously as he looked directly in my face.

"Y-yeah, I... I am" I stuttered nervously before clearing my throat to get rid of the squeakiness that just came out.

"Why don't you sit down Amy? I'm sure you and I have a lot to talk about" he said once more.

"OK" I nodded nervously turning to look at Lucas before slowly making my way to sit on one end of the sofa.

If I had thought Lucas was scary before, I was definitely wrong. For some reason I'd rather be around Lucas than this guy, there was just something about him. He was really scary to me. And the fact that when he talk he gave away no expressions as to how he feels, scares me even more.

"Baby you're scaring the girl" the girl in his lap said nudging him gently.

"No I'm not" he said to her before turning to look at me. "I'm not that scary am I?"

"Uh...I think...uhm..." I stumbled over my words unsure of what to say.

I didn't want to offend this guy, and telling him yes he was scary might be offensive. But I was also scared that if I told him he wasn't scary to me he'd know I was lying still and be even more mean to me. It wasn't like I had any idea why I was here tonight.

"Don't answer that" the girl smiled at me friendly as she got up from his lap and sat on the sofa closer to me. "He's just trying to get you all riled up. I'm Lexi by the way".

"Oh, I'm Amy" I smiled back slightly as I shook her outstretched hand.

"Nice meeting you Amy so...how's living with the ass?" She said pointing at Lucas -who at some point had also taken a seat-without even batting a lash.

My eyes were wide at hearing her said that about Lucas. Here I was afraid of even looking at the guy, and here she was just dissed him opening and unafraid. I look at Lucas to see his reaction and found him glaring at her. Alright, so I'm guessing Lexi was probably more important to his boss so he choose not too disrespect her by responding.

"Quit it Cara that's enough" the guy said to her, though I could see he found this amusing.

"My name is Giovanni Cavelli" he said to me. "Now let's just get straight to the point of why you're here"
