Chapter 3

"You look sexy" Liam said hoarsely and she frowned getting out of his grip.

She faced the waiter who was standing up and she kicked him down with her heels.

"Who hired these bunch of idiots?" She asked looking around the guest. A dark shadow left the hall from behind and she frowned.

"Casper" she called and used her eyes to show him the way.

Casper nodded and went after the shadow.

"We're so sorry ma'am" the two waiters said kneeling down in front of her.

"I'd handle them" Liam said and she looked at him.

"I never asked you to" she said and he just stared at her before snapping his fingers. Four of his guards came took hold of the waiters taking them away.

"When I say I'd handle something, I will" he said before turning and he left the hall.

The music started again and she faced the crowd who already started moving to the music.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Arlene asked and Reina looked at her.

"Yes" she simply said and walked to the VIP couch. She sat on it and Arlene sat beside her.

Drinks were served to them and they drank out of their glasses.

The music stopped and the organizer of the party came to the stage.

"Good day esteemed guests, I'm thrilled to have you all at my party" she began.

"It was really difficult getting Reina Mariposa to join this party but I'm glad she did. I hope it's perfect Miss Reina" she said and Reina nodded.

"Thank you. Y'all are free to mingle around and get new investors signed with your company, you're free to. But let's make sure we have a nice night tonight. Cheers to a blissful cooperation" she said raising her glass up.

"Cheers" the rest replied raising their glasses up as well.

She smiled before leaving the stage and the music came back on.

Matteo sighted Reina at the VIP and he smirked. He walked up to her and Arlene stood up.

"Leave my boss alone" Arlene said and he laughed.

"That's something I can't do my dear" he said and pushed Arlene aside leaning towards Reina.

"We're partners remember, how can I leave you alone?" He asked glancing at her cleavage again.

She slapped him hard and pushed him with her palms standing up.

"The deal is off" she said and he laughed.

"That can't happen, I have the design. So with or without you, I will build that hotel and make billions from it" he said and laughed before leaving.

Reina folded her fists tightly.

'If you hadn't been so imperfect, this wouldn't have happened. You're changing' her subconscious said and she closed her eyes.

"I need that design back" she said and opened her eyes before looking at Matteo who was laughing with his colleagues.

"How will you get it back ma'am?" Arlene asked.

"I'm going to his hotel" she said and Arlene blinked.

"How will you then take it?" Arlene asked and Reina sighed.

"Stop with the questions" she said and Arlene kept shut.

"You will be my eyes, when you see him leaving the hall or when he wants to leave, let me know" she said.

"Can't any of your guards do it?"

"They're not as perfect as me. They can't do it" she said and left the hall.

Arlene blinked shockingly and Casper ran back to her.

"Where's boss?"

"She's on a mission to get her design back" Arlene said and Casper smiled.

"It's been long I've seen her handling things herself" Casper said and Arlene furrowed her brows.

"What do you mean?"

"You'd find out soon" Casper said and looked at Matteo.

Reina's limousine stopped at the back of the hotel and she came down. She was putting on a black fitted jean and a black armless cropped shirt with a black leather jacket.

Her face was masked only her eyes could be seen.

"Take the limousine elsewhere. When I need you, I'd call. Failure to be here before I get out means loosing your job" she said and closed the door before looking around.

She made sure no one was looking before jumping on an AC then she jumped on the base of a window. She jumped again and held the handle of the balcony in room 890. She climbed on it slowly and quietly.

She looked down but she saw no one and she exhaled before taking a pin from her hair. She unlocked the door fixed there but she was met with a kick which threw her down the balcony.

Her eyes were wide as she continued falling only to land in strong arms. She looked at her savior and exhaled before getting down from him.

She frowned and wanted to jump again when Liam held her hand.

"Reina?" He asked and her eyes widened a bit before pulling out of his grip.

"Leave" she coldly said and jumped on the AC, then the window and finally the balcony.

Liam let out a small smirk before calling two of his guards.

"Go to room 890 and help her" He said and they nodded going into the hotel.

The door was closed again and she looked around. She saw an open window at the side and she jumped to the base wanting to go inside only to be kicked again and she started falling.

Liam sighed widening his arms as he caught her again.

She got down from him and inhaled.

"This wouldn't have happened if I was perfect. I'm loosing my perfection and it's costing me dearly" she seethed and looked up.

Liam gave her a stare before looking up as well.

The guards threw down the guy who has been kicking her and he fell as his head cracked open on the ground.

"The reporter from this afternoon" she muttered.

"Let's go to the room" He said and left her going through the front door.

She jumped again till she got to the balcony. She walked through the door of the balcony and met Liam and his guards.

"How did he get in?" Liam asked his guards.

"He was waiting for Matteo when he noticed someone trying to break in" One of his guards said.

"He died" Reina muttered and Liam looked at her.

"So? You would have died if not for me" He said and she walked away going to search for her design.

Liam swung his fingers and his guards helped in search for her design.

He sat down on a chair and crossed his legs watching Reina keenly.

She felt his eyes on her and she turned to look at him. He smirked and she turned going to another side to search for the design.

Liam scoffed before standing up. He walked to the refrigerator and brought out the design.

"Found it" He said and they turned.

"How?" She asked walking to him.

"He placed it in a place no one would think of searching" he said and removed the design from the polythene bag before handing it to Reina.

He signalled his guards to leave which they did and he stared at her.

"How did you know who I was?" She asked and he leaned in.

"I know what's mine when I see it" He said with a smirk and stood well.

"Never knew Miss perfect is sneaky" he added cockily before chuckling.

She just stared at him, blankly.

"You look sexy in black and to think you're already mine" he muttered rolling his eyes.

She frowned and slapped him hard. He chuckled touching his slightly red cheek.

"I'm not yours!!" She snapped and he grabbed her by the throat pushing her back till her back hit the door.
