She walks and sits on her bed feeling tired of everything... Not long, a knock was heard on the door. she didn't respond knowing it was Mark persisting in talking to her...
"how annoying he can be ''... she said under her breath. the knock didn't stop and it only got her angrier..." what the fuck do you nee..." her words were stuck in her mouth as she stares at the person before her. It wasn't Mark, it was Mrs. Anderson, the owner or should I say the landlord of the house she's in...
Mrs. Anderson was confused as to why she welcomed her in such a manner
"Are we quarreling?" she raises a brow at her, silently demanding an answer...
"didn't know it was you, was trying to get rid of a pest that's pestering my life" Mr. Anderson nods her head in understanding...
"it's our inevitable fate... all we have to do is keep chasing them till our death" Mrs. Anderson jokes and both burst out in laughter...
"right" It was a relief to her but that was just for a moment...
"What do I owe this visit, Mrs. Anderson?" it was a surprise to her seeing her today of all days...
" It's the last day of the month, I am here for my pay" She brings out a sheath of paper with something written on it..." you've got this month's rent to pay and that for the last two months" Smiles didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, she didn't have the money, not even a penny...
"It's month's end and I know I have to pay you but, to be honest, I don't have the money" Her tone was very low, it barely came out as a whisper but Mrs. Anderson was able to get her...
"In that case, I have no extra month to grant you... I can't keep allowing you to stay without having a dime for a penny, my family depends on this" She was disappointed. She pulls on another sheath of paper from the file and hands it to her. It was a notice to her to evacuate in three days... Smiles was saddened reading the content but regardless of the turnout of even, she was grateful for Mrs. Anderson because she's been more understanding to her...
"Is my day a curse or what?" her heartaches, perplexed by what's going on. Today is a terrible day for her, no good thing has been heard since the time she walked through the company door. First, it was her interview, then the incident with Keane, and now, this... can this day be any worse than it already? Is there any good thing waiting for her? She closed the door holding on to her throbbing head...
her stomach grumbles, only then did she realize she hasn't eaten and except for the half loaf of bread, there's nothing more to it... she planned on going shopping but because of what happened, she didn't think about it. she is just throwing off a bank card as if it's nothing and now she is dying of hunger, how pathetic... With no other choice, she picks on her breath and eats making sure she drinks enough water to hold on to her stomach...
The light shines brightly on her face as she twists her face in dissatisfaction... ever so slowly, she opens her eyes trying to get acquainted with the light as She rubs on it, yawning out loud. It was a new day and there were a few hours left for the time that was given to her to be over. She picks up the card on the table and stares at it for what seems like a long time seemingly spaced out... She gazes at her room, touching the sky-blue paint on the wall as if trying to feel something on the other side of the wall... After a long thought, she finally came to a decision, she picked up her phone and dialed the number... the call ended and she hurriedly grabbed her towel, and headed to the bath for a quick shower knowing Keane's driver would be here at any time... she walks out of her room looking all clean and fresh as she makes her way out of the building... She was welcomed by the bright sunlight oozing out from the sky and out of reflex, she closed her eyes before opening them slowly... a black Lamborghini stood before, and the man opened the door for her which she entered quietly... their rid was fast and in no time, they were in front of the big gray building, it was a hotel... not just a hotel but a five-star hotel... she was led inside by the man. The lifter they took was written on it as VIP only. It was her first time entering such an expensive and classic building, so the feeling was just so good... when they reached the top floor, he led her into a room that was written VVIP room only... he opened the door, silently urging her to go in. she thought he would follow her behind but she was shocked to see him close the door behind... Fright was all over her face but when she turned to the bed, there was no one there. She was happy. The view of the room was beautiful. She tried on the flower jar with her tiny long slender fingers before making her way to the bed and falling on it feeling so relaxed... she was so consumed in her world that she didn't realize he was right behind her...
"Enjoy yourself?" his deep baritone voice vibrates jolting her from her thoughts... She jumps off the bed out of reflex standing still like she was assigned to keep on standing there...
" s-sorry... I didn't see you there" his hair was damp, as water dripped from his head down to his broad hairy chest. her eyes never leave his face. she stares at his pink lips feeling tempted by the sight of him with only his towel on, she could feel her self-defense shattering without him doing anything ...
"go through the paper on the table and sign," he tells her. She picks it up, curious to know what's written on it...
