"How does it feel then?"

Jumping at the intrusion Alexis placed a hand on her heart and looking the direction of the voice. It was Agatha, she was using crutches but at least she had gotten back to her feet which Alexis was grateful for.

"Hey! You're back!" She squealed in happiness and hugged Agatha making her laugh as well. Inviting her to sit, Agatha called in the maid who was waiting outside with the snacks in and sat with her mistress ready to hear all her gossip. Alexis took a muffin immediately, the chefs had a speciality for sweets. 

"So, did you enjoy it?" Agatha asked again as she sipped her tea.

"Enjoy what?" Agatha immediately gave her a look, "oh that, well.." To be putting it in words was extremely difficult. Often so, the feelings in one's mind are something considered to be easily felt and equally difficult to be spoken about. Something that Alexis was feeling. 

Taking in a deep breath she answered, "you know I understand that this was all possible because of Angelo like he told me to take revenge and I am very satisfied with it. I never thought of taking revenge on anyone because I thought it was better to move on but the feeling of Revenge is pretty satisfying, I will tell you that and if I had looked at them and the condition that they live in now and where I was living in I'm pretty sure I would have felt happy because of my hard work paying off and Karma getting to them. I think I would have been satisfied there but I may be a little bit happier to be able to take revenge."

Honest feelings about the whole Revenge thing came out in front of her as well. Maybe telling Agatha about what she was thinking was asea self-reflection she needed badly. Revenge was one tasty dish but Alexis wanted something other than harming them. Harm was completely out of the equation. She was looking for harmless fun and laughs for herself and to be more truthful, she might be looking for their humiliation as well.

But after realising what she had said to Agatha, she could only question her sanity with the given situation. "Why I am an idiot or mentally sick for doing this?" She asked Agatha looking for confirmation or possibly some sort of denial.

Agatha leaned forward and held Alexis's hand in her own. "Do not think much of it. Let it happen. I would not call it an opportunity but a chance." She tried to reason with what's he had read on Google and Facebook. People were great advisors there, but just theoretically.

"Chance or an opportunity is more or less the same." Alexis disregarded her opinions. 

"On the contrary," Agatha respectfully objected. "Chances are more of luck than anything. Your luck is needed there. But with an opportunity, that is a result of a situation that you might have or might not have anything to do with." She explained. "It is your luck here, to be provided with such opportunity(s)." She smiled at the end. 

"Wow," Alexis clapped. "That's something I'd write on my grave." 

"Not if I die first and have my original words on mine." Agatha very cheekily replied. 

"Touchè." She laughed gently. 

"That was a good chat, madam. I am very happy that you feel light about this and are not taking this to your heart. I think you should carry on with it to your heart's content and also, I think it's time you should go out with master for a lunch."

Lunch?

"Lunch but why? I did one yesterday."

"I don't know but who knows that maybe you could find something interesting there or rather, should I say a someone?" She smiled, hinting that she knew things as well. 

"But I saw Liza's face after looking at my clothes and bags collection and mind you I noticed the add-ons in them." She pointed out. 

Agatha smiled. "I did what was necessary. Exaggeration to a given extend never hurt anyone." She shrugged. 

"Those wise words, where do they come from?" 

"The brilliant mind of Agatha." She smiled. "But again, she should get ready for your lunch with the master. Delays are not tolerated or perhaps, liked by anyone." 

"Why?" Alexis questioned and moved to the stairs. 

"People just need to express therefore dislike over things and this apparently, is one."

Pearls.

Pearls what something that Alexis always wanted to wear. Even with him,r it was something that she knew was a luxury. She had a lot of savings to do for them. She was a figure that was often seen with the CEO and for that, she had to be dressed the best. The pearls were something that she had separately saved for. 

Was it bad that she wanted a little taste of luxury? Without having to earn it? While Agatha was choosing a dress, she was sitting in front of the mirror and she played with the pearls that were out in front of her. As soon as she told Agatha, that she liked wearing pearls, Agatha made sure she had an endless supply of pearls and pearls. But now they weren't as appealing as before. The thrill to buy them after saving had played as one necessary factor. 

"Here you go." She laid down the dress on the bed and looked at Alexis. The dress was perfect for the windy weather by being dark-coloured and attracting heat and also, a turtleneck. 

Nodding, Alexis understood what she wanted and went to the bathroom for a change. Coming out she noticed that Agatha had packed away the jewellery and kept what she needed on the table. Wearing the jewellery and applying a little bit of foundation on her face along with blush, Alexis was good to go. She would have done more but in this situation, she did not want to be seen opening up her kidnapper. 

Angelo had arrived and was still in the car as she went and sat inside. She saw him noticing her but what it felt like was him judging the choice of clothes she wore but he didn't comment on anything. That was a positive sign and she couldn't help but feel intimidated by his stare. The man surely had the most beautiful yet equally unappealing eyes ever. 

As they reached the restaurant, Angelo got out first and held the door open for her, holding out his hand as well that she took. He led her into the restaurant and the hostess followed them inside.

"Do you like it?" His voice had a gentle note to it. He kept staring at her face. For any third party,y it would seem like he was in luck but she knew what he was doing. Staring at someone's face was simply another method of catching a lie. 

"Yes, I do," and she truly did, "it's not crowded and of course the decor is very nicely designed." She smiled as she answered him.

Angelo smiled back. All his past companions ever did was talk about, who and which power person was sitting inside the building and how they could grow a connection. Sometimes what he needed was a companion for a company not a queen for power play and she was just that. A beautiful person, both inside and out but with a bunch of jumbled words. 

The hostess handed them their menus, "your waiter will be here shortly to take your orders for beverages." Finishing, she bowed a little and left.

"What would you have Alexis?" He muttered as he went through his menu.

She closed down hers and looked at him, wanting to have a little conversation. She owned that to him at least for what he had done for her.

"Angelo, tell me what's good here. Maybe then I could see a drink going with it?" Drinking at lunch was a bad idea but she wasn't driving or paying. 

He closed his menu and looked at her as well, a small smile playing on his lips. "Do you want to take a risk?"

"What risk?" She asked truly interested.m, leaning in a little. 

"Let's allow the chef to choose the drinks and the food for us." He proposed and continued, "the one to finish it will owe the other one wish."

"Hmm," pretending to think about it, she tapped her chin. " I can think of doing i. if I get. choose the dessert. Come on Angelo, give me that at least!"

"Dessert?" Angelo repeated. "Did we not have a cheesecake day before? Some of it is still left." 

"What a stingy person you are!" She accused. "Just agree, come on." She pressured. 

"Alright. I think that could be a deal."

"Good Afternoon, I'm Parker and I will be your waiter today."
