AN: Okay, future chapters won't be this short. My stories are bad, but my introductions are (somehow) even worse. I'm so busy rn I don't even have time to think about how busy I am. Expect updates soon!
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand," the blonde said hoarsely. "You want me to do what?"
"Seduce the girl. You will not be eliminating anyone during this mission, hence making this the easiest task we've ever given you."
"But, why this girl? How is she involved with-"
"Answer me this, Garfield," the fierce voice spoke, cutting the boy off. "You want to avenge your parents, do you not?"
"Of course I do!" Garfield spat. "Why would you even ask-"
"The only way you're going to make progress with that is by seducing the girl."
"How?" Garfield asked with a rare confused expression.
"I will answer your petty questions when you progress with the task you have been given. Her name is Raven Roth, and here are the details for her location," the voice stated, shoving a card into the boy's hand.
"Okay," Garfield said, scanning the card's contents before nodding. "Thanks, Slade."
Raven did not only awake with a pounding headache, but with a knock on her front door, too. She placed her palm on her forehead before making her way over to her door. As it opened, she squinted her eyes to adjust to the lighting.
"Hi."
"Hello?" Raven narrowed her eyebrows as her eyes focused on who that voice belonged to.
"I have a package for..." the voice said, scanning the box quickly. "Raven Roth?"
"Huh?" Raven questioned with a confused expression. "Oh, my blowdryer! Finally!"
On the other side of the road, Garfield chuckled lightly watching the scene in front of him. The girl was clearly suffering from a hangover, which would only make things easier. He was given a deadline of ten days, and her condition would surely work out in his favour.
He examined her quickly as she signed for the package. She was very attractive in his eyes, which would only make everything more fun. He accidentally made eye contact with her, despite her short, black hair was pretty much covering her eyes.
He swiftly looked away, shoving his hands in his pockets.
Letting out a long sigh, he thought over just how this was going to work. He'd been given countless tasks from the agency, including assassinations and stealing, but seducing somebody? That was a first.
Being only seventeen, the boy didn't have much experience with relationships and... seduction. His determination to eliminate his parents' killers was overwhelming, which was also preventing him from having a potential love life. And he could never find anyone who was worth wasting his time on.
But this girl was somehow the key to progressing further on with his task. He had to make her fall love carelessly in love with him, while he was technically getting closer to finding the assholes that killed his family.
He was just doing his job.
