A DAY WITH RIVER

A DAY WITH RIVER

Reyna's POV

Soon, it was Saturday morning. And I was nervous as well as excited to meet River . I didn't know what was waiting for me but I only could hope for the best.
Standing in front of the mirror I looked at myself from top to bottom.

Wearing a mint-white combined casual outfit with a messy bun and silver-rimmed glass.
"Not going in the office for a meeting. So, this is good enough."
A few minutes later, hearing the doorbell, I opened the door to find River 's assistant.
"Good Morning, Miss Reyna. I am Mr. River and sent by the young master to pick you up." He introduced himself. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yes."I nodded and followed him to the car.

The car was the new version of the Mercedes-Benz, leaving me in awe. Though I didn't have any doubt of River  being super rich after he left.
And then I was taken to the beautiful manor. It's the same one from before where they went for the meeting and I got the project.
But, unlike last time I was taken inside the manor and it was so beautiful. leaving the hall, He took me upstairs to one guest room.

"Please wait here, Miss Reyna. Master will be here soon." And he left, leaving me alone.
Me stretched I arms, looking around. The room was very clean and designed with black and ash all modern furniture.
'This is so much like him. Very dark and cold, but…’ I bit down my lower lip. 'Somewhat cozy...' I thought in mind.
Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me and turned around to go freeze under my feet.
It was River , walking out of the bathroom, half naked with a towel wrapped around his waist. Water was dripping from his messy hair and slipping through his muscle lines, attacking directly between my legs.

Blinking my eyes, I gulped hard as my throat turned dry.
River  arched his brow. "You have arrived." He said, slightly twitching his lips. He took a few steps toward me. "So, are you ready?"
'What the hell he is talking about!? What ready!?' My heart jumped into my throat. 'He is not asking me to sleep with him, right?' I was nervous, feeling ticklish in my stomach.
My eyes were wracked on the Greek God. With his Adonis look and now that devilish smirk, I felt like the weather suddenly turned way hotter as the blood rushed down my cheeks.

I took a step back and cleared my throat, "Yo...You! What are you doing!?" I slightly stuttered. "W...We have a d...deal, remember!? Yo...u can't disintegrate it!" I said with wide eyes.
River  watched me in amusement, as he walked close to me, almost trapping me between him and the low shelf.

"R... Ry. River! You can't do this! I am warning you. This... You..." I tried to retort but stopped when he leaned toward me. My body was already declared a clear betrayal and if he goes any deep then... 'Oh My God!' I screamed in my mind and closed my eyes, waiting for his lips on my skin, yet nothing happened.
Instead, I heard his low and deep chuckle. When I opened my eyes, he was watching me with an amused expression with that devilish smirk.

"I clearly do remember the deal, Reyna. I am just giving you this." He handed me a shopping bag. "This is a golf suit. Wear it after taking a shower." He arched his brow.
For a moment, I was confused. Slowly, the realisation hit me and I blushed as embarrassment caught me. I couldn't believe my own dirty mind!
I blinked, licking my dry lips. "Umm... Ye... yeah, I am going!" Quickly pushing him from me, I almost ran inside the bathroom and locked the door.

Closing the door behind me, I leaned against the door. Trying to relax me madly pounding heart. 'What the bloody fuck am I thinking!? Maybe they are right! I AM a battery!'
Shaking my head,I  took a quick shower and started wearing the golf suit. When I was trying on the clothes, my lips were apart in surprise because every single piece fitted me as of he knew every inch of me!
"How is this..." my words stayed in my throat when their passionate nights appeared in her mind. "Oh, God!" I blushed again. "Why does he still remember my size!" I groaned in frustration.

Regretting my life choices, I  wore the dress and came out of the bathroom.
River  was already done and waiting for me to come out. When our eyes locked, I  blushed hard and quickly withdrew my eyes. "Umm... I am ready."
"Hmm. Come with me." He held my hand and led them to the black Rolls-Royce.
Settling in the car, I  turned to face my mysterious boss. "Where are we going?"
River  arched his brow. "Where do people go wearing Golf suits?" He questioned back.

Reyna : "....."
Dumbfounded, I turned silent and looked out of the window, cursing him in my mind.
However, I couldn't control myself more after arriving at the golf course.
"What are we doing here?" I asked and when I realised he could come up with another stupid answer, she quickly added. "I know how to play golf. But, why? Didn't you want to discuss the progression of the project every Saturday? Is it going to happen here?"
"You will know soon." He said, taking my hand once again.

This time I couldn't help but look at our intertwined hands. 'I don't know why but this feels so... Perfect.' My thoughts were interrupted when I heard him speaking.
"For the research, you need clues. Peter could be the help in this situation."
I  finally realised his intention. I also felt a bit guilty for thinking absurd things about him when he only wanted to help me!
"Chances don't always come. Make the best use of it." River  was very serious when he was talking about the work, while I  was busy gawking at him shamelessly.

Eventually, chewing on my inner cheeks, I nodded my head. "I will."
I followed River  to the playground and noticed a middle-aged man playing golf while his guards were standing at a little distance.
He was good-looking and well-built. 'Not bad.' I murmured in mind.
Peter also noticed them as he walked towards them. "River, my favourite leader!" He shook his hand and his eyes fell on the beauty beside him as his brow arched in surprise amusement. "A woman. Interesting."
River  nodded. "She is Reyna  Reyna. A perfumer. Working on a project with me.”
"Oh, that's interesting." Peter stretched his hand to Reyna. "Peter."

I took his hand "Nice meeting you, Mr. Peter." He dropped a short kiss on the back of my hand. "The pleasure is all mine." His way of speaking said that he was a noble gentleman and I kind of like the man.
Peter once again concentrated on River . "May I know about the project?"
"We are recreating one of the legends, Scent."
"Oh! Isn't it the disappeared one?" Peter seemed surprised.
River  nodded. "Yeah, we are trying to get it back once again.”

Peter once again took his golf stick and started playing. "It was a very nice perfume, I have heard."
"Yeah, it is." River  picked up the conversation. "May I know from where you heard this?"
Peter chuckled. "A friend maybe."
All the while, I was deeply focused on their converse. From Peter's words and the way, he was delivering told me that this man might know someone who just had an idea about the perfume.
River  also realised it. "May I get the name of your friend, Mr. Peter?"
"Oh, about that, I am not certain enough. Maybe, I am wrong!" He laughed.
Both realised that for some reason, he didn't want to tell the name.

"How about we have a match? If we win, you will give the name." River  said all of a sudden and Peter snapped his eyes at him.
I felt nervous, thinking Peter would deny it directly. Because River  was too straightforward which could be a negative point. However, much to her surprise, Peter nodded his head.
"Fair enough. One match only. But, I have a condition." He stated. "I want this beautiful lady to play and not you. Come on River, we have played before.
