The Puppeteer's City by Meera Darlithia (latest books to read .txt) 📕

her twenties sat reading a book called fifty shades of grey, he walked up to her "ahem" he said startling her a little. She looked up and he seen a slight of pink cover her face, she quickly put the book down pulled down her shirt puffing her chest out and straightened her back. "I'm sorry is there someone your here to see today" she said he gazed into her eyes a little making the pink on her face darker, he almost slapped himself. The girl was interested in him he didn't need a love life and all he was doing was making room by staring her in the eyes and not talking, "I'm here to talk the president of this hospital I have a meeting". "You must be meaning Sir Izary" he wasn't sure if that was his name because he did get the appointment illegally so he just nodded, "I'll send in a buzz letting him know your here and when buzzes back I'll take you to his office. Michael nodded and walked over to the waiting area where there was crying family's, praying family's and patients waiting to be treated. As soon as he sat he realized a lot of woman and nurses eyeing him and staring him down but if he looked at them they would turn away in embarrassment, it was really irritating and stupid. He decided after awhile he decided to block them out and focus on getting prepared for the meeting with Sir Izary, he grab the recorder and raised the sound so that when they talked he could replay anything he needed to play back. He put his recorder back in his back glad that he hadn't been spotted by anyone around him, and just when he had put it away the woman from the front desk came up to him and said "Sir Izary is ready for you". When she did so she lowered her self pretty low to wear he could see the top of her breast, he got up quickly disgusted by the woman having no respect for herself. I mean he could've been a rapist and soon he was going to  be a murderer, but yet just because he looked good the wiman was going head over hills for him. "Please if you would lead the way" I said as casual as possible she blushed but tried to turn away before I could see her, she headed towards the elevator but before she could push the button one woman blocked the way. And two other woman came from the sides "you know Lara you should take care of the rest of the people at the front desk and let one of us take him to Sir izary" they said that looking Michael directly in the eye. If they were trying to seduce him they weren't doing much of a good job of doing so, Michael felt evenly disgusted. I mean it couldn't have gotten worse with them yelling at each other but then they start gripping each other by the shirts and dresses yelling louder. After awhile Michael couldn't stand it anymore "um excuse me" they froze solid still "can someone just give me some directions because all of you are making me late". They departed from each other and blushed bright red like they had splatter tomatoe juice on their faces, they altogether told me the instructions and walked away. Of course glaring at each other when eyes meeting and blushing when looking at Michael, (pretty childish) Michael just quickly got in the elevator and pushed the close button in the elevator so many times he couldve broke it. When the elevator finally closed he breathed a sighed of relief and rode up to the 15th floor when he reached the 15th floor the door opened and there was a empty room which kind of surprised him. He stepped out of the elevator and walked up to a wall with the word door written in spraypaint, he knocked on the door like the childish woman at the lobby told him. "Who is it" someone on the other side of the wall asked Michael figured the man was young, "Michael Reed"  Michael asked there was a long silence before the wall had moved up and disappeared leading to a hall. Before Michael could walk through the hall a man at least 25 years old appeared, the man was about to speak but stopped instead he started looking Michael up and down. Michael shivered a little knowing now not only were woman interested in him but there were somehow men interested in him. "Um is their a problem sir" Michael asked breaking the man out of his daze, "no um nothing but please call me jacob" Michael just nodded. The man turned around and led Michael through the hall with a slight blush on his face, this did not annoy Michael that much as long as Jacob didnt turn around and try to rape him he was fine. After twisting and turning into different halls they finally they had arrived at a golden door with the name Sir Izary the Third encarved, Michael guessed all the money he had didn't just go to the reconstruction of the hospital. The man who called himself Jacob knocked on the door extremely light as if the door could break at any minute, they waited awhile before there was a buzz. Michael guessed that was there signal to come in, he was right because after the buzz had faded Jacob opened the door wide enough for Michael to step in. Michael walked to the front of the door not yet going inside because he wanted to get a good glance of the surrounding area, after looking at everthing which seemed like forever He walked inside the room. But without his permission Jacob slithered his hand and touched Michaels butt, and although it was soft enough not to feel Michael was alert enough to feel Jacobs hand. He shot a glare at Jacob who flinched and quickly removed his hand, Michael finished walking in and Jacob closed the door behind him. You could hear his footsteps as he quickly walked away possibly running, Michael chuckled to himself of the cowardly act of Jacob after he had closed the door behind him. But he stopped as soon as the man known as Sir Izary turned around from facing the window to face to face with Michael, Sir Izary had a devilish smile on his face Michael returned the devilish smile back to him evenly. Sir Izary chuckled a little but his chuckle was very dry, "I like you already son" his voice almost sounded like an angel singing but his laugh terrible. "Thank you sir Izary" Michael said bowing himself a little, "I thank you for keeping your respect son, but just call me Izary". "Okay Izary thank you for taking time out of your schedule to speak with me" Izary just pointed to a seat and said "yes yes, but please sit down". Michael sat down in the chair he was told to sit in and opened up his suitcase "what are you doing" Izary asked staring holes into Michaels suitcase. "Just taking some notes sir please relax" Michael said switching on the recorder and grabbing his pen and pad out so he could look innocent and take notes. The conversation was quiet long that by the time they had wrapped up the day was over and the sky had grew dark, Michael thanked Sir Izary and left out of his office which led him back to Jacob the butt toucher. Michael glared but Jacob made no eye contact guess he was ashamed that he had been caught, he led Michael back to the elevator but before got on the elevator Jacob appoligized. He also promised that if he came back to meet with Sir Izary that he wouldn't come even close to him, Michael appreciated Jacobs sincerity and went on his way down the elevator to the lobby. But unfortunately just as he got of the elevator the 4 woman that were fighting over him earlier had spotted him and made their way over to him, he tried his best to quickly exit the building but no succes because they had already crowded around him. He tried his best to stay calm "anything you ladies need because I must be on my way home it is very late" after Michael had spoke there was a weird silence with all of them surrounding him and staring at him in the eyes. Then when he had least expected it all of them spoke at one asking his name, number, age, if there were any days he was free, where he lived and some some other questions that made him a little uncomfortable. He tried to say that he had to go but they wouldn't let him speak or better yet leave, just when he thought he would have to be rude or push one of them an old woman in her mid fifths came up to them. "Do none of yous have respect for yer selves, let alone this young man" he liked her tone it was serious and stern, they stared at her for a little while then walked away with a slight blush and dissatisfaction. Michael thanked the old woman and left the hospital in piece, he walked back to his car but when he entered a little piece of paper fell from under his shirt and onto the car floor. He picked it up just to find out that it was the old woman's contact information, he balled it up, threw it on the concrete and drove back home. When he arrived at home he put his suitcase in the room, ordered a cheese pizza and took a nice long hot shower almost causing steam through the whole house. When he got out of the shower his doorbell was ringing so he had to quickly dry himself, dress himself and answer the door. The pizza was ten dollars so he paid it, but before he could close the door the pizza man kept asking for a tip. Michael tried to shoo him away but he wouldn't budge, finnaly Michael feeling fed up he punched the man down the steps and closed the door. He brung the pizza in his room and started the recording, allowing him to add more notes than he had before. This allowed him to figure out the family member his mom was visiting was only acting sick, for some money and that the plan was to kill her and the rest of her family. The person who put Hasu Nervadec (Hasu Nervadec was the supposed to be family members name) up to the job was no other than the president himself, suprisingly this had nothing to do with the presidents son Andy. But the thing that made Michael laugh so hard that he almost fell off his bed was that, the president was looking for him, Michael Reed. He now knew first step of his plan kill this woman or man named Hasu Nervadec, but before he could do anything he had to go to the meeting with the founders of the hospital. So with that he ripped out all the papers he wrote in his pad and put it on his desk in his room, after that he ate a little more of his pizza and put the rest in his fridge. Michael came back up to his room and went over to his desk where he put his papers and where he had his computer, he wanted to pinpoint where this Hasu Nervadec person was currently and figure out about their profile. He first hacked into a personal records site and searched up Hasu Nervadec, surprisingly there was two profile with the same name except one was a woman the other was a man. And they
