Charlotte's POV
"Hey, Wake up!"
My eyes fluttered open to the sight of a bright and unfamilar room.
"What... where am I?" I muttered, my voice hoarse while i try to place together pieces of my memories
"You're in my penthouse, darling," a smooth voice replied.
I turned to see a man standing by the door, "Mr Miller" I looked at him utterly embarrassed
"After everything we did last night, you still think we aren't on a first name basics?" He stared at me from the mirror
"You should take a shower, The water pressure is....excellent."
"No, I should leave." I replied in shambles as I tried to put on my clothes, avoiding his gaze
"Charlotte, don't you want to talk about last night?" He asked from the bathroom.
I ignored it as I wrestled with my memory, attempting to reconstruct the aftermath of my reckless drinking. In a moment of haste, I slid beneath the cool sheet, my hands clawing at the scattered remnants of my entire body. Each article of clothing is a potential witness to a night debauchery.
By the time, I had finished dressing, Mr. Miller too had already put on his clothes
"Mr. Miller, can we forget what happened between us last night?" I asked as I stood by the door of the restroom while he stared into the mirror
"If you are worried about any STDs, then I assure you I'm still a virgin. Was, was a virgin." I corrected myself
"The only person that has lost anything here is me." I continued as I looked at my blood stain on the sheet."
He walked towards me coldly staring at me with his piercing eyes, his face with no emotions "Rest assured, I have no reasons to believe you have any diseases."
"However," he continued "I want to ask, if you want anything from me, you don't strike me as the kind of person that wants money for her first time."
I looked at him, with my furrowed brows, "You are correct. I do not want your money, I want you to keep this a secret."
"I do not know that it was your first time in bed with someone," he said as he starts to majestically walk around me winging his arms by his side, his aura spelling out authority
"As compensation, I will allow you one demand, you can ask anything of me, except to make you fall in with me." He said confidently
I culdn't believe my ears, "Mr Miller, I think you misunderstood. I don't go out to give myself away, so I won't trade myself for anything. In fact, I plan now to officially quit working, cause from hereon, I'm gonna be focusing on my graduation thesis, and we won't be seeing each other again. I'm going to wish you a good life. Goodbye!" I declared as I walked away from the hotel room
Mr Miller's mouth twitched with surprise and amusement with my unexpected departure and assertive demeanor caught his attention.
