THIS HOTEL WAS and always will be her personal hell; no matter how wonderfully designed it was. the memories would never fade; the wrath boiling up inside her chest with every step she took through these halls were almost unbearable, before walking into a(nother) curious creature; were they a man? a woman? this was new. she did not know but whatever they were; natacha NEEDED to know the name of whoever designed their dress. but there were more important things to ask first. ‘ excuse me, can you tell me where i can find the little blonde minx who claims to own the place?’
the DENSE echo of heels did penetrate the sturdiness of her focus, despite it being
centered wholly elsewhere. when one sits in the same silence, at the same desk,
with the same surroundings for decades, any sound is liable to capture her scrutiny.
but it’s a finely-tuned practice that keeps hazels lingering on the musty pages in
front of her ––– until the owner of those ringing footsteps speaks. a finger is used
as a bookmark, worn covers coming together for the briefest of moments while she
converses with a blunt distaste for the subject. ❛ –––– in the penthouse, i presume.
i don’t make a habit to keep track of her whereabouts. ❜
