4 - I can’t

Nervous could not describe what Kimberly is feeling right now. She thought of aborting the plan and leaving. But she knew that is not an option.

Earlier on after they left the hotel, Kimberly and Susan went to the hospital so that Kimberly could be tested. After which they both went shopping and then Susan dropped her off at Mar Agency before she went home.

Right now, Kimberly is together with the owner of the company who is briefing her the rules she needs to follow. Kimberly had not expected this. She was being council as if she is meeting the president.

After signing a non disclosure agreement, a driver was assigned to drive her to the client location.

Kimberly look out of the window all through the ride. By the structures of the buildings they where passing, Kimberly knew that they are driving towards the upper class area of the city. Kimberly had never been here before since she has no one to visit and so she is fascinated by the beautiful of the buildings and kept looking out of the window until they arrived at their destination.

When they arrived at their destination, the drive open the door for her and told her to go up the penthouse.

With shaky legs and hands, Kimberly had her way into the elevator and press on the button to the penthouse.

Once Kimberly got to the penthouse, she is marveled at the interior of the hallway.

“If the hallway is this beautiful, how much more is the penthouse itself?”. Kimberly thought to herself. The walls of the hallway are made of white dazzling marbles. There are lamps on both side of the hall which are made of gold. And there are also Abstract painting hanging on both side of the wall.

Kimberly kept looking at the paintings as she walks down the hallway to the only door. It is obvious that this pent floor only belongs to one person.

“Money is good!”. Kimberly thought as she stop in front of the door.

“Here goes nothing!”. She took a sharp breath and press on the door bell. After a minute, the door atom automatically open itself. Kimberly took that as a clue to enter.

Kimberly is marveled at the sight that greet her once she step into the penthouse. With her mouth wide open, she stare at the beauty of the penthouse.

It looks like something she sees in the movie. She force her to walk deep into the room with her mouth wide open as. She keeps looking around. The lounge room she is in is furnished in Ash, black and gold furnitures. Everything about the whole room screams “money”.

Kimberly made her way to the sofa to seat down. She let her hand run over the soft sofa. She was lost in admiring the beauty of the place that she didn’t realize someone was in the room. She heard a clear of throat and then looked up.

At this point, Kimberly felt like is going to have a heart attack. Standing before her is the most handsome man she has ever since in her life.

The man is tall and well built up. The shape of his face is perfectly sculptured that Kimberly felt that it’s not fair for someone to look this good.

“Take a picture it last longer!”. The man said in a husky voice as he smirk at her.

“Sorry!”. Kimberly said and try to stand up but the man beacon on her to remain seated. The butterflies in Kimberly stomach where now dancing.

“So what’s your name?.” The man ask as he came closer to her.

“K- Kimberly…” Kimberly stuttered.

The man smiled and sat on the same the sofa but kept his distance from her which Kimberly is grateful for.

He poured a drink into a from the bottle in the table and offered it to her.

“Sorry I don’t drink!.” Kimberly said and gave him a small smile. He raised his brows and without saying anything, he drank all the content of the glass at a go.

He dropped the glass on the table and came and sat right next to her. He is so close to her that Kimberly can feel their things rubbing against one another.

Kimberly heart is beating very fast right now. She is very sure that the man could hear the sound of her heartbeat since he is seating close to her.

The man wrapped his hand around her waist and bend his head and kiss her on the side of her head. At that moment, Kimberly panicked.

“No! Please stop!”. Kimberly exclaimed and pushed herself up from the sofa.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”. The man asked looking at her with concern.

“No! … I mean yes! Sorry nay I use the washroom please?”. Kimberly ask as she inwardly cussed herself for behaving so rowdy.

“Sure. That’s the door to the washroom”. The man pointed at the door close to the entrance door.

Kimberly embarrassingly made her way there.


Lucas let out a small laugh when the lady entered into the washroom. When he saw her earlier, he was shocked for a minute because she looks like she wanted to be anywhere but here.

And to confirm his thoughts, she kept shifting away from him when he sat next to her.

“She doesn’t act like the other ladies!.” Lucas thought to himself. He doesn’t know if that is a good thing or not. Either ways, he find her actions cute.

Lucas wonder what is taking her time in the washroom. Just as he wanted to go and check on her, he heard the ringing of his phone which is in his office next door. He went to pick up the phone.

It was an important call from one of his international client and so he couldn’t decline the call. After speaking on the phone for about thirty minutes, he ended the call and went back to the lounge room.

“Sorry I had an important….” Lucas started to say but kept quiet when he saw the lady ready asleep on the sofa with the empty bottle of drink lying next to her.
