My phone rings, "Hello." My mom answers and my eyes settle on Edgar on whim.
"I'm..here." I say very slowly, at a loss for what to say further after hearing her voice. "Actually something came up. It'll take time for me to finish. How about we done together instead?"
"Yeah! Sounds nice. I'll be waiting!" I agree quickly on whatever is comfortable with.
"Thank you so much, Mila." And she cuts the call.
This man hasn't left yet. So not to make it more uncomfortable I ask him his purpose for being here. "I'm here on inspection. I brought this Hotel recently but didn't have time to look into it closely." He explains, I notice we were actually sitting right now and he was sipping on coffee. I nod taking the sight in. He's too good to be casually chatting with me And so above me to be owning this four star place.
"How did you get the owner to sell this?" I ask Amazed. In the middle of the city, it is generating fortune.
"Maybe the owner was too generous." He shrugged and his smirk followed. I manage to creep up a smile suppressing my anger. Yeah right! All wise men say the same. 740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8StEhppxh
Why not take a swim and enjoy theatre now that I got my day off?
"So I'll be off to my room then. Thanks for accompanying me." I stand Holding out my hand for a handshake. Thanks my ass! I just want to escape you.
"Your mom's not coming?" he asks holding holding my hand firm in place instead. I freeze. 740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hHA1de8Hr
What?
"Ah- No. Um she'll be joining me for dinner though." I stumble with the words because of his bold move but only the truth comes out. Damn his tricks!
"So you're not going back?"
"No. I'll be staying for a day." He strokes his thumb on the back of my palm and a stroke of shiver courses down my body.
"Alone?" I meet his beautiful expectant orbs and there goes my reputation "Excuse me?"
"I mean we can check out the place together." He squeezes my hand and then lets go standing up, buttoning his lower two buttons of his coat.
I gulp rubbing my own hand and he eyes me doing just that "If you're free that is." He adds with a knowing smile, at this point My face is flaring crimson red all for I know. I don't know whether he is playing with me or challenging me but I took the bait. "yeah, Sure. Let's meet up after I change." He nodded and I surpass him before he gets the chance to lead the way, I know where my room is!
I should take this as a learning experience for me. Better pounce on this chance. Hotel management is an area beyond my expertise.
In the end I decided to avoid him. Not that he was anywhere to be seen on my way up.

I change into my bathrobe with a swimsuit underneath and make my way to the terrace pool.
As I expected, only two to three people taking a sunbath. Afterall It's a lucky weekday.
I lay back lotioned on the beach chair, having the best time of the day until the problem decides to show himself.
Where can I hide??
I look at my right and then left, All chairs are empty. I groan slouching down further.
"Not again!" he roars out a mocking laugh thinking it's funny and I muster up a smile for my project's sake. He looks so happy, I genuinely want to smash his face, he is that handsome.
"Sorry. I am present everywhere to ruin your fun." I laugh when I actually wish to add the sarcasm.
