Purple Romance

She opened the door and stepped aside for Andy to go inside. The assistant who had followed hurriedly went inside with them and was about to speak when he saw the lady on the bed pull his boss and he felt on top of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck saying, ''let's sleep together, please''

''Sorry, boss'' his assistance said when Andy turned to face him with a glare.

''Aren't you going to leave?'' Andy asked him while still laying on top of Paula.

''I am leaving'' the assistant hurried back out and Godiva nodded politely before closing the door.

''Godiva, wait'' Andy called out and the woman opened the door.

''Is there anything you need, sir?''

''New clothes for her''

''Yes, sir'' she replied and went out closing the door, finally.

Andy turned to look at the woman under him and shook his head. He tried to take her hands off but they were tightly around him.

''Hey, you let go, first'' he said and Paula opened her doe eyes. She smiled before tightening her grip on him.

''I don't want to. I paid you. You are mine'' she said and Andy looked at her with his mouth opened.

When did she buy him? Why wasn't he aware of this transaction? He sighed and with one strong push, he finally was able to get rid of her. He pushed her onto the middle of the bed before sitting at the edge trying to catch his breath.

A few minutes later, Manager Godiva arrived with a bag and pressed the doorbell.

''Come in'' Andy answered and the woman entered.

''CEO, here is what you asked for. I prepared everything, down to her undergarments. It's that alright by you?''

''En, you did well''

''Is she your girlfriend?'' the manager could no longer hide her curiosity. Usually, it was his brother Leslie who would bring women and ask her to prepare clothes. This was the first time that Andy had asked her to do that for him. She knew he was different from his brother but she still couldn't help but ask.

''No, she is not my girlfriend. Just a friend under stress''

''I see''

''Can you keep this from my father?'' Andy asked her. apart from being the rooms manager, she was also the daughter of their father's best friend and was closed to her father.

''Don't worry. I won't say a word about this, but your brother might have heard it already since he is always looking out for gossips about you'' Godiva said and Andy shook his head.

That was one more person he didn't want to know about tonight but it seemed he wasn't going to have things his way. Since he had already brought her here, he had to bear all the responsibilities; he resigned to his fate.

''Thanks you''

''You are welcome'' Godiva placed the bag on the sofa before going out.

Andy stood up and turned to look at the woman. He covered her with the quilt before taking her bag to place beside the clothes bag and left the room.

The next day.

Stretching herself on the full length bed, Paula frowned. She felt that the bed was extremely larger than her bed at home. the beddings were especially soft to the feel. She frowned and opened her eyes and almost screamed.

''Where is this place? What am I doing here?'' she sat up and saw the hotel logo on the sofa and sighed shocked, ''did I come to a 9-star hotel after getting drunk?'' she covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.

''Calm down, Paula and think rationally. You have to remember how you could here. If you didn't come here by yourself, then the one who did will have to bear the costs of this place. I can't allow myself to be cheated. This hotel cost not less than $1000 dollars per night, what was I thinking by coming here in the first place? I must be crazy after getting dumped. How can I loss so much after a breakup?''

Paula saw her handbag on the sofa together with the clothes bag and frowned, ''no way. Did I go shopping too? I didn't just get myself checked into a luxurious hotel but I even went shopping in addition? Whoa, just whoa, Paula. You have finally made history by spending your insurance money on nothing but superficial things''

She opened the bag and when she saw the items inside, she felt her eyeballs almost falling out from shock. These were all clothes from a famous brand in City B, she had read about the owner of the brand, he is a powerful man whose name was Joel Asante.

Paula gulped hard and wanted to smack herself. From a dress to a pair of upper and lower undergarments, nothing was left out. Everything was in the bag. She searched for the price tag but found nothing and felt like screaming. She had thought that with the price tag still intact, she could go for a refund but now her hopes had been crashed as she couldn't do so anymore.

She sighed and sat on the sofa with the blue and black stripped knee levelled dress over her head, covering her face, she screamed and cussed for a while before standing up.

''Right, it's done already. There is nothing I can do right now'' her eyes lit up and she looked at the time, ''wait. It is still in the wee hours of the day, if I can pose as a janitor, I will be able to escape from this hotel without paying, right? Will I get arrested for running away? No, running away is quite risky since their security is top notch. I can't have a criminal record while I am still looking for a job''

She paced round the room and finally made a decision. Since she came here, she had to take responsibility. She wasn't the time to run or shy away from what was right. If she ran away right now, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

With that resolution, she went into the bathroom and quickly freshened up and changed into the dress. She folded her milky coloured blouse and ripped blue jeans together with her undergarments into the bag and left the room. When she opened the door, she saw a woman who was about to press the doorbell.

Manager Godiva smiled warmly at Paula and asked her, ''Miss, did you sleep well?''

Paula was puzzled but she still nodded her head, ''yes I did. But, you didn't have to come for me. I wasn't going to run away without paying for the room. I know that it is a suit room and very costly, so you might have your doubts about whether I am able to pay or not, but trust me, I can afford it. even if it means I starve for a few days. I can just take it as a form of fasting. It will even help me reduce in weight. Even though I can't stay hungry; I will still manage. Lisa will just scold me but she won't allow me to starve. I will just cut down on the amount of meat I eat and will not have chocolates for maybe a few months. That should do to make up for the amount of the room''

Godiva furrowed her brows, not understanding anything the lady in front of her was babbling about. She was just checking up on her on the boss' orders but she was talking about the cost of the room. She found her cute and amusing and wanted to correct her after realising the lady thought she was there to collect the room fee.

''Miss, actually, I am not here for that''

'Wait, you are not here for that? Then, are you here to arrest me? Did I not pay for the clothes too? What was I thinking? I am sorry. I am not usually this inconsiderate. Miss, please don't call the police. If you just tell me how much the dress and everything cost, I will pay you'' Paula looked into her bag and cussed after not finding her credit card. She looked up at the woman with a solemn expression, ''what to do? I didn't bring my card out and my phone is dead. If you can spare me a little time, I will make a few calls and my friend will bring you the money that you need''

''Miss, calm down first and listen to me'' Godiva said to her and Paula looked at him.

''Huh? I… I should calm down? You are here, I feel so pressured, I don't think I can calm down. you didn't perhaps come with the police, did you?'' she asked, her voice quivering.

''No, I didn't come with the police and I am not here for the room fee. Miss, I came to see if you are ready so that I can send you to meet someone'' Godiva tried to explain but she was cut off again by Paula.

''Meet someone? Don't tell me you are sending me to the boss of this hotel? Listen, Ma'am, it hasn't gotten to that. I told you I would pay. I am a good citizen and would not run away with your money. There is no need to bring me to the boss, right?''

''I am not sending you to meet the boss, Miss. I am taking you to the man who brought you here last night''

''Last night. Did I come with a man last night? Oh my God, does it mean I am no longer a virgin?''
