If he was more self aware, Lucifer would have noticed that the only reason she was waiting on him was because a significant portion of the crowd around them had turned at the commotion he was making over it. With a smug grin through the contempt, his tall form trailed in her wake down to a bathroom that was a bit more secluded than the one in the main hall. âThanks a lot,â he spat, entitled as he pushed past her and into the bathroom where he took a long while wiping the rest of the liquid off his face and trying, futilely, to tidy his hair back into its previous state.Â
An aggressive palm slammed open the door again with a groan of irritation as he rounded on her again, gaze accusing. âIâm not gonna be able to fix it. So againâthanks a lot. For being fucking useless. Why are you even here?â Cerulean gaze darted up and down her form as he realized now that she was actually wearing a dress, and wasnât some sort of wait staff as heâd expected⊠and that she actually looked kind of stunning. At the realization he faltered a bit, and stood back, out of her face, though he kept his chin in the air. âAre you⊠here to invest?â
She was relatively unfazed by his hostility, at least for the most part. The anger lurked in the back of her mind, a part of her so desperately wanting to put him in his place for once. She had a habit of taking the blame when it wasnât even necessary, and it was growing ever so obvious that that was yet another difference the two had. Natalia leaned against the opposite wall of the bathroom door, a sigh escaping her lips in a moment of pure silence.
But just as quickly as it started, it ended. âA comb would probably work better,â she replied softly, fishing a travel sized comb from her clutch. âI would offer to help, but you donât particularly seem to want me around.â Natalia was determined to be the bigger person, to not feed into the negativity she could practically feel radiating off of him. And then the question came, What was she doing here? That one felt just a bit too ironic. âIâm one of the board members for the Womenâs Club. Thatâs why Iâm here.â
