Chapter 1
She woke up late the following day, feeling irritable and not in the mood to explore some of the tourist attractions in the province. She decided that maybe she should just remain inside the hotel room for the entire day and postponed some of her scheduled activities on the next day.
After getting up from bed, she went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, and chose her outfit. Although she didn’t have any plan to venture outside the hotel, she should look good all the time. However, she didn’t want to overdress for breakfast, and a deep sigh escaped from her lips as she took out a striped crop top pullover with a mini skirt terno from the wardrobe and put it on. A pair of white rubber shoes completed her outfit, and then, she was ready to go.
She was glad when the hallway was empty after she got out of her room. However, someone else entered the elevator when she was about to go down. “Going down?” She inquired, but the man wearing a black hoodie just nodded his head. She shrugged her shoulders as she pressed the button to go down.
It was a breakfast buffet, and all she had to do was pick whatever she wanted to eat from the selection. Then she went in search of a table that was a little more private from the rest of the guests, and then she saw that guy again. She scanned the man’s entire body with her gaze. To be honest, he appeared to be in excellent shape and was beautiful.
The man was tall and slender, and his long hair was tied in an untidy bun. For the first time, she admired someone who sported long hair and also had a tattoo on his arm. He must have probably sensed that someone was watching because he looked up, and found her staring. For a moment, they locked their eyes, before she averted her gaze into a different direction.
When she glanced at him one more time, she was caught looking…again! She shifted her attention to the steaming cup of coffee in front of her and sipped it quickly. Because it was so scorching hot, her tongue had been burned! Aubrey cursed loudly, and the man seemed to have heard her! Was it assumed of her to think that way?
After breakfast, Aubrey decided to return to her room in order to catch up on some sleep. She was in a hurry especially when she sensed that someone had followed her into the lift. Nervously, she bit her bottom lip as she tried to remain calm. However, he caught up with her in the lift…again!
“Hello,” he said his greetings and smiled.
Aubrey just stared at him because his smile rendered her speechless at the moment! Up close, he was the epitome of an Adonis, and she was on the verge of collapsing just because of being close to him.
“Hi. I’m sorry if you caught me staring at you earlier,” she said, to which he responded with a nod.
“It’s alright, and a normal reaction from women whenever they see me,” he replied.
Upon hearing it, Aubrey arched the tip of his eyebrows and stared at him. Then, he winked at her. Wait, what? Was he just kidding? She was about to point out something but several women joined them, and after they noticed the hottie inside, they giggled with excitement. Aubrey rolled her eyes at the obvious display of flirtation. Well, she was dismayed as a woman, because she wouldn’t stoop so low just to get a man!
Yes, that was her principle before, but things have changed, and she was not getting any younger! She needed an heir for her empire, period! If only she had a boyfriend, then it wouldn’t be a problem. However, she couldn’t find a reason to have one. She was content being alone, and she believed there was no need for a man in her life. When she glanced at him, he seemed to be enjoying the attention he got from those women! He didn’t even notice when she got out of the lift, and she was greatly insulted! Was she ugly?
No, she was not ugly! She repeated the statement in front of the mirror as she returned to her hotel room. Was there something wrong with her? Earlier, the man didn’t show any signs of being interested in her. Frustrated at her lack of flirtation skills, she exhaled deeply and slumped her shoulders as she walked towards the bed.
However, she was too frustrated to sleep!
In the end, she changed her mind. Instead of staying inside to rest, she decided to go shopping. There’s a newly built mall a few blocks from the hotel, and she needed something to do to forget about him. Actually, she had no business thinking about him, but she couldn’t get him out of her head.
“Hey, are you going somewhere?”
“Yes,” she replied briefly.
“Do you mind if I tag along?” He asked bravely.
“Why? Don’t tell me that you are interested in me right now,” she pointed out the obvious, and the man laughed. Ah, maybe he wasn’t used to being with women who could speak their minds.
“Honestly, I am,” he admitted the truth. Since this morning, he kept thinking about her, and as soon as he found out her room number, he arranged for an immediate transfer and stayed next to her hotel room.
She locked her gaze on the man who had attempted to flirt with her in broad daylight. “Are you flirting with me right now?” She asked, and then she paused for a moment before she continued. “Because if you are, you might regret it later,” she warned him but he just grinned seductively.
“Try me, Miss Beautiful. So, what’s your name? I bet you also have a beautiful name,” he said.
“Is it okay to flirt when you have a girlfriend?”
“Oh, I’m still single…and available! Miss Beautiful, can you tell me your name?”
“Aubrey Calderon, and yours, if it’s all right with you?” She noted that the man with tantalizing blue eyes was a good talker.
“Collin Hendricks,” and he immediately regretted that he had revealed his real identity to the woman.
Aubrey gave Collin a friendly smile and offered her hand. “Well, Mr. Hendricks, it was a pleasure meeting with you,” she said in a business-like tone.
“Ah, just call me Collin, Aubrey,” he called her Aubrey even though they just met.
She had a wonderful notion as to how Collin Hendricks may be of assistance to her in some way. In any case, the man was a flirt and enjoyed dallying, so he wouldn’t object to being used in this manner. She believed that everyone has a price, and she was willing to go to any length to obtain his affection…or his body!
“I like you,” she announced, without a shred of the propriety that should have accompanied such a declaration from a proper woman, and Collin gasped in surprise.
The woman’s inventive way of speaking scared him, so he answered in a less than complimentary manner.
“You’re direct and straightforward,” he noticed but despite her being straight to the point, he was interested and wanted to know her better. Collin was taken aback by her demeanor at the time. The woman was not only blunt, but she was also arrogant! She appeared to be a little too confident for her own good.
“However, I’m always willing to welcome a woman into my bed,” he replied, and Collin could see the spark of rage in Aubrey’s eyes.
“Nice,” she replied before sashaying her hips into the elevator.
As he remained shocked by her bluntness, he was not able to join her on time, and the lift was closing when he ran towards it.
What a jerk, she thought.
Anyway, she simply required his physical presence and the sperm he was capable of depositing into her womb. That was it!
