The same game

Chapter 12: coding you

"Erich we both know you can't play two games at once unless you end up fucking it up, don't push your luck with something thing you can't handle" she scoffs at him. Erich snarls lightly and sits down.

"You know you talk a awful lot of shit, tell me y/n, what wicked things have you done?" He grins maliciously at her. She rest her elbows on her knees and stares him directly in the eyes. "Wouldn't you like to know" she says to him. Erich lets out a scoff of a chuckle and sits up.

"Have those inspectors spoke to you since?" He asks her wondering if she maybe let something slip up about him pointing to him committing the crime. "No, no so far anyway, but I don't doubt that they'll stop trying" she says shrugging.

"I have nothing to hide, they want to speak with then they'll find a way, but why make it easy" she smirks. Erich let out sound of amusement. "Anyway I've got to go and so do you, I don't let outsiders linger while I'm gone" she tells him standing up.

She makes her way outside and sighs heavily as Erich's as right behind her. "Starting next week I'll come by regularly and we'll work on the game, I'll be bringing Ivanna along as well" he says to her. "Alright, well I'll see you then, stay out of trouble Erich" she says nodding and turning away.

She gets into the back of her car and her driver drives her home. She sits in the car at peace listening to the music. She was going to a formal event tonight and needed to be ready by eight.  When she got home she grabbed a bottle of water and made her way into her room to shower. The water felt nice against her cold skin. When she was done she slipped out and went looking for the new dress she bought. It was a dark lavender colored dress, she wanted to go for something darker in the color but no stores had the color she wanted in stock so she went with that.

She applied her makeup and did her hair in a twisted style braid and pinned it to the side of her hair. She slipped on the dress over her lingerie and smoothed it down. It hind on her shoulders by thin straps and the top dipped into a small-v shape showing off her mounds lightly.
"Y/n, are you ready?" A voice says as she answered her ringing phone.

"Yeah, give me a second" she scoffs through the phone. "Hurry, we have to be there to get pictures of you done with Mark valento" he sighs. "Okay, so?" She says uncaring.

"So, your also going to be in the cover of Vogue and America's top magazines for 'winters beauty''" he says to y/n. Winters beauty was just the name of the title, "Beauty line" was the magazine's company name. She was gonna be on winters beauty month. "Okay I'll be down and out in two minutes, bye" she says to him before hanging up.

She walked out of her house and to the car  to see James there on his phone. "Ready?" He asks. She nods and James signals the driver to go.

The ride was long and James didn't hell being quiet while typing away on his phone as he finished up paper work and what not. "Don't show yourself, we don't want to start bad press" James says. "Dona quick show of being innocent and make sure to smile enough, you don't want them to think your some cold hearted bitch" James says bluntly.

"Got it, anything else" she asks with sarcasm. "Yeah, drop the attitude, no one likes a smartass" he says. Y/n rolls her eyes and looks out the window as the huge building comes into view. "Let's go" name says putting away his phone and stepping out the ca to open the door for her . She steps making sure she won't somehow end up tripping. As soon as the door opens paparazzi and reporters are scattered everywhere snapping pictures and throwing questions at her.

She manages it diss them all and avoid them. She smiles at the camera as she makes her way up the black carpet that was displayed out. Two guards were in her side pushing back anyone who got to close. "This is going to be a long night" James mumbles to her. She gives a discreet nod and walks up the path to two doors being held open by two more guards. "Welcome Miss. l/n" a man says as she steps in.

The place was filled with other business workers and CEO's. This was a great way to make opportunities and deals but she wasn't going to take part in any. "Thank you for having me, Mark" she responds.

"Yes, well only for the finest of the people, I heard your new game is doing greatly" he says watching as she is handed a glass of champagne. "Yeah, over two-million sales" she nods. "That's amazing, and what's it's only been a month since it's release?" He asks her.

"Yeah, so much can happen is such a short time" she chuckles. "That it is, why don't I introduce you to some of my colleagues and friends, I'm sure they'd be delighted to meet you" he suggests smiling lightly.

"Okay, let's do it" she agrees. He leads her to small group of people who standing around at a table sipping on their champagne. "Hello, everyone this is Y/n L/n" Mark says. They all turn and smile.

"A pleasure, Miss. L/n" a woman smile shaking her hand before going up to kiss marks cheek. "This is my fiancé, quite young I know, but I'm happy" he says smiling at her. Y/n holds back a sarcastic comment and nods unimpressed. They all being chatting at politics and company name brands. Y/n looked around bored until she sees James make his way towards her. "Sorry for the interruption, but y/n has to attend to something"

"No worries, I'm sure she was getting bored of us anyway" Mark smiles. James gives a chuckle and nods as they take their leave.

"Thank god, those fucking Rogers we're droning on and on.." she says to him. "Yes, well I was being serious, you have those photos to be done" he tells her shrugging. She nods and follows after him. When she steps to the back a photographer calls her over. "We're going to do a quick shoot if you don't mind" she smiles lightly.

The photo shoot didn't really take that long she mostly gave neutral looks that were  almost suggestive. When the night was over they got in the car and drove back to her home. "I'm so tired, what time is it?" She asked James who sat quietly.

He looks at his watch in his and before giving a impressed look. "One-forty in the morning, the longest I've stayed up since" he chuckles.

Y/no looks at with a weirded out face. "I swear you act like your sixty or something" she says. "It's whatever you believe y/n, besides half the shit you say sounds like it came from a fourteen year olds mouth" he scoffs at her.

"James don't be so serious, I mean shit, who knows how long you'll live" she teases, he sends a glare at her with an eye roll. "That's if you don't drive me to a open highway" he retorts.

"You and me both, Erich is so fucking annoying, I ducking hate him" she rants. "He just knows how to get your under skin y/n, it's what guys like him like to do" he says. "It's like he's coding you" he adds.
Y/n scoffs and shakes her hea.

"Fuck that, he couldn't code a damn turtle if his life depended on it, and guys like him, the kind that sleep around and make useless threats?" She says with irritation. "Well here what I think, from what I've noticed about Erich, he thinks of himself as a creator...no a god" he says. Y/n looks at Jim's till not fully understanding what he getting at.

James sighs and rubs his eyes. "Think of it like this, if you were in pack of wolves and one of you were being useless and just holding back the others, he'd be the one to secretly kick you off, he likes control" jame says. "If anything I think there's a more darker side to Erich blunt then what he leads on" James says with satisfaction at his explanation. Y/n looks out the window in thought.

Could Erich possibly be as dark and twisted as she was? Only she knew her darkest secrets and past. She gave a wicked smile at her reflection as she leaned her head against the window.

New things were to come and she was prepared.
