FOR: @hasan-demir
WHEN: 30th of May, 2023.
Melissa made her way through the dimly lit bar. The familiar scent of smoke and aged whiskey hung in the air while candles flickered from their centre pieces; it was a nice place, and one that she usually brought her clients. Approaching the booth nestled in the corner, steps confident, a testament to the power and influence she held in her dual roles. On one side, she was Melissa Lin, a highly regarded corporate lawyer, respected for her legal acumen and renowned for her unwavering loyalty to the Rutherford family. On the other side, she was known as the enigmatic figure, second in command of the Rutherford organization, a formidable mob that operated in the shadows, ruling the city with an iron fist.
They had their hands in everything.
Tonight, Melissa's purpose was to meet Hasan, and even she couldn’t deny that she’d been looking forward to it, as she slipped into her spot and waited for her usual to arrive, which they already knew. This particular meeting concerned a delicate business arrangement, but one she hadn’t yet presented to him. The Rutherfords were known for their shrewd negotiations and ruthless tactics, but tonight, Melissa had been tasked with ensuring a peaceful agreement, devoid of bloodshed.
It was for her own benefit.
‘‘Good evening,’‘ Melissa purred when she saw his figure approaching.
