(Mood: Amused)
(Interactions: Nikky, James, The Herald, Dominic, And more..)
(Mentions: )
Nikky pulled out a chair across from the man and plopped down. She politely refused the food, though her stomach did urge her to try some. She was put off guard by the politeness but she didn't relax. she placed her elbows on the table and leaned forward. "You work for Dominic Ferrari, huh?" she pointed at his get-up and tilted her head to the side, "Ain't that uncomfortable?" Boy, this lady really wasn’t playing around, as soon as she opened her mouth she didn’t hesitate to ask if Devan worked for Dominic which he collectively agreed to by giving an indicating nod with his head. “Suit is a bit too snug sure and I didn’t particularly agree to ‘sporting’ a mask for our lovely little meeting but in this line of work confidentiality is vital to have a long-lasting life.” He only hoped that his civil approach would make-up for the fact that he had to hide his face, assuming that she cared to begin with. “Not to sound rude or anything.” Devan mumbled, snatching ahold of his silverware and taking a helping bite out of a part of the sirloin in front of him before directly giving a stern look through his concealment and clearing his throat. “Even if this is a discreet location, be careful what you say. I’d like to refer to him as my boss, as you already know there are people out there that don’t exactly take a liking to him but I must ask, what sparked this curiosity you have with him?” Carefully placing his dining utensils to the right of him, he patiently awaited her answer as he leisurely straightened the bunched-up tie. “Well, when I noticed he missed the high school reunion, I got worried.” In hindsight, joking like this was a bad idea, especially with what she assumed was a dangerous individual sitting across from her but she couldn’t help it, she was nervous. She sighed, “To be honest, I knew Ferrari a while back, at Armstrong Academy. We were friends.” Friends sounded odd to say after all the time. That aside, she knew better than to drop her whole story. “But less about me, and more on you-” He was a man that worked directly underneath an infamous criminal, having him come to see her personally, albeit masked, felt like overkill. She was skeptic, but if it was this easy to meet one of them, she didn’t have to wonder how they survive.
She laced her fingers together “Why’d you agree to meet me here? I mean, you gotta have like, underlings or something to meet me?” As silly as it sounded he almost believed her sarcastic remark until she let out a revealing sigh and mentioned how she and Ferrari went to a certain academy together, Dominic a scholar? As wise as he was it was a funny thought to imagine him wearing a prestigious uniform instead of his regular attire but nonetheless it was more of a genuine surprise to have her actually show some interest in a lowly underboss but he couldn’t help but crack a soft smirk underneath his mask as she continued on. “Truthfully i’ve been with Dominic for a short while now, he’s saved my life and gave me a chance to live, I guess for whatever reason he trusts me to get things resolved! Kinda why i’m meeting you instead of some typical stooge.” He didn’t know what all of this was leading up to but from his perspective it almost felt as if she was gonna ‘butter’ him up or something before leading to something big, not that he didn’t mind having someone take an interest in him in general although she could’ve been some undercover reporter. “As for you, I’m impressed you managed to go through with meeting up with someone who’s associated with the likes of him, it’s pretty dangerous... It almost makes me think you didn’t come alone.” In the face of his comment being a joke, he had a slight suspicion there was sense behind what he had said, after-all someone would be a fool to come alone or unprepared. “Unless you have any more questions towards myself, we should get to why you’re really here. Obviously, it has something to do with my boss, were you planning on meeting him?” He asked, still completely unsure of what she really wanted. “Yes, I was actually.” She laughed, “I’d like to chat, I wanted to offer my services but plans change. I still wanted to see how he was doing. After all, I already went through all the trouble to get here.” the truth was, she just suddenly felt the need to come here again. The urge made her feel like she was checking something off her bucket list. “Is it... possible I could meet him?” That pure voice she spoke clearly with was hard to resist, this young-looking woman who wanted to meet Dominic barely seemed like a threat but he knew more than anything looks could be deceiving, anyone could simply claim to know someone as influential as him but not just anyone could back up that allegation so easily! It was at this moment that he needed to evaluate what if she was saying was factual or a misleading fabrication.
“Oh I don’t think that’d be much of a problem, but first things first.” Nonchalantly taking out a tablet from his front right pocket, Devan silently looked up at the woman as he navigated through his contacts and begun dialing one of them with a few short rings following his call. “He might not pick-up, that wouldn’t be good.” He phrased gravely with his voice as he managed to upholster a loaded firearm out from behind the chest-piece of his crimson suit, a small sound of the safety being clicked off as he continued to wait for the ringing to stop. “Hey, it’s Dev, I met that contact and apparently she’s interested in meeting you?” Skimming his eyes around boringly, he placed his elbow atop the surface of the table while he began playfully circling his wrist around, making the firearm sluggishly follow as resumed speaking. “Haven’t got her name yet, she says she knows you from some Armstrong Academy? She’s got brunette hair, dark complexion, chocolate eyes, and wears a pair of square-rimmed glasses, not hard to miss.” After a moment of short-winded “Uh-uhs” and “Yeahs”, Devan reassuringly put away his handgun, feeling a whole lot better that things didn’t escalate past the point of no return. “Sorry, just wanted to be safe… Seems like he’s interested, here I'll-” Without so much as even being able to finish what he was going to say, Devan found himself staring blankly at a bitsy-sized girl barging into the VIP room, she looked barely old enough to be in a club, let alone have a drink for that matter. “Miss I think you’re lost, I believe the nearest middle school is just a few blocks from here.” as soon he was about to resume his previous conversation he was yet again delayed by someone who looked as if their occupation involved being a professional wrestler, a red-headed bulky man with a moderate sum of years added to his life experience walked into the lounge along with a couple of others and abruptly greeted Devan while announcing himself as a bodyguard. “Lovely, if I wanted someone out to get me I wouldn’t have to worry knowing that I can count on my phenomenal security to get me killed… Anyway, I didn’t know we were hiring male escorts but it’s nice to meet you too James!” A sneering expression carved its way into Devan’s face as he shook his hand, still expressing a depressing sigh at the lack of competence his staff had at keeping unwanted visitors out. “Now that all of Brookfield is in my lounge, why not make yourselves comfortable? Please enjoy some of the food and beverages before they go to waste! Oh and as I was saying before, here.” After some time of combing through his suit-pockets, he was able to retrieve a metallic business card and slide it in Nikky’s direction. Upon inspection, she’d notice nothing but a mysterious number, it was unknown whether or not if it was actually Dominic’s or not. “Call this, if everything still checks out you’ll get to meet with your late classmate again… So now that this meeting of ours is adjourned how about all of us enjoy ourselves?” Not wasting any time, Devan decided to celebrate by pouring everyone a glass of the unopened champagne the waiter had brought him a few hours ago, luckily he had savored it for just the occasion.
