Chapter 69 - Debauchery (1/2)
Mimi paced up and down the hallway restlessly. She didn't know what to do especially after discovering that the man she hit was no other than her teacher.
She had shamelessly come for lessons the day after and yesterday intending to apologize for her ill behavior that day but her teacher didn't even step out. And when she asked the men around, they said he was out.
How could he be out when they had lessons? Who does that? Mimi didn't need a prophet to know that Victor - as she has come to know his name - was intentionally punishing her. He was bearing grudges against her.
But then Mimi was hot-headed as well and planned not to talk to him or even initiate an apology - he deserved the punch - but she would be wasting Marcel's time and energy.
Sooner or later, Marcel would require her services, and then what would she be able to present? As much as it hurt her pride, it seemed Victor was more skilled than her else Marcel wouldn't make him her teacher.
So as much as she hated this, here she was again, trying to get his attention - and forgiveness. Unfortunately, they told her again that the bastard was not around and by now, she knew it was a lie.
Victor doesn't want to see her. But then she wants, no, she needs to see him. It was time to lay down her pride for the greater price.
”Fine, I would wait for his return in his room,” She said to the staff who came to relay the news of Victor's absence.
”I'm sorry miss but his room is off-limit to - ” The man was still saying when Mimi interrupted.
”Either you get me to his room or I would get on my phone....” She raised it for him to see she meant business, ”And inform Marcel that a certain staff is obstructing my job,”
At that threat, the man's eyes grew wide confirming her thought that Marcel was greatly feared. Then why had Marcel been kind to her?
Whatever, Mimi rolled her eyes mentally. That was not what she came here for.
”Miss....” the man's voice was firm yet a bit shaky this time, but it was obvious he still had reservations about her threat. Apparently, Marcel was not a man that can be accessed easily.
So Mimi stepped closer to the man till they were barely inches apart, staring him straight in the eyes with intensity. She raised her hand and the man was rattled slightly, probably thinking she wanted to hit when Mimi only buttoned the first part of his shirt that was left open.
When Mimi was done, she tilted her head only to whisper into the man's ears, ”You see, Marcel and I share a very special relationship and he would be really, really, mad to learn you denied me anything,” she said suggestively.
Although nothing was going on between her and Marcel, Mimi could tell that the man was sexually active with a glance. So what's bad with claiming she's one of his bitches if this would get her what she wanted. Who cares what others think?
Mimi could sense the man's wall falling but there was still a look of doubt in his eyes.
So she added, ”You can ask the others, Marcel told them not to deny me anything,” Well that part was true to point.
Marcel asked them to provide her with whatever she wanted and right now she wanted Victor. What's wrong with a little misinterpretation of his words?
”Fine,” He said at last, ”Whatever happens is on you,”
Mimi rolled her eyes towards heaven, what's the worst that can happen?
With him leading the way, Mimi fell behind him and they began to climb up the staircase, the marbles sparkling clean and reflecting the light.
Mimi sighed, what she would do with so much money? This was quite unfair.
It wasn't long before they came up the second floor and she still couldn't help but wonder what Marcel was doing with so many rooms.
She heard that some of the workers here, especially the ones on patrol, lived here. That made her more confused, she wondered if Marcel was running a voluntary organization. He was a strange man.
”Here,” The man stopped at a room that bore a tag saying, ”To all who embrace love.”
Mimi's brows raised when she read that, something was definitely wrong with her teacher.
”Whatever happens is on you,” the man said, ready to have her assurance that she won't implicate him in whatever suicide plan she has.
”Do I know you?” She smirked at him.
With a look of satisfaction, the man left her while Mimi released a deep breath. Why was he trying to make it sound like Victor was scary? The man embraces love for Christ's sake - as the tag on the door says.
