Chapter⁴
It’s dark outside with the moonlight peeking through the
drawn curtains. The empty bottle of bourbon is lying on the
nightstand as well as my wallet and phone. There’s the stench
of cheap perfume and s*x in the air. Scattered across the floor
are my clothes along with a red halter-top dress. I look at her
sleeping peacefully beside me—a brunette—a rare slip-up.
What’s her name again? Brandy, Betty, Bindi? I carefully
move off the bed, dressing quickly, and grab my belongings to
leave the room.The elevator takes forever, and upon entering, I swipe my
hotel room key to the top floor. As seconds pass, my head isn’t
taking well to the copious amount of liquor I managed to drink
last night.
Back inside my room, I start packing my suitcase and call
my assistant, Kate. She answers almost immediately.
Kim Taehyung/ V
Kate , What time is my flight to Barcelona?
Kim Taehyung/ V
Book me a room near to the airport. I'll be there in 20 minutes
This isn’t the first time I have called Kate at five in the
morning asking for a hotel change. I just don’t want the
aftermath of trying to cut loose the hussy from last night.
I arrive at the new hotel and shower before grabbing a
quick bite to eat. I have plenty of time to spare, heading
straight to the airport to wait in the business lounge until
boarding
The flight is quiet, thank God, which gives me a chance to
catch up on work for the first few hours. When my eyes begin
to grow weary, I shut the lid of my laptop and close them,
remembering how last night began.
Brandy
Excuse me, sir you left your credit card at the bar
I looked up, and before me was a gorgeous woman
wearing a red halter dress, black pumps, her long brown
hair flowing down her back. Of course, she noticed when I
eyed her from head to toe. Not bad, I thought to myself, it’s
been a while since I got some pu**y.
Kim Taehyung/ V
Thank you..….?
We sat at a table and started talking. She told me she
was a flight attendant from Alaska and continued to talk,
but all I could think about was the hair—the long, brown
hair that flowed down her back. I ached to touch it,
remembering how it felt running my fingers through it.
F*ck no, don’t reminisce. Brandy smelled fantastic like
s*x. Probably wasn’t wearing anything underneath. Such a
dirty little wh*re.
Brandy
So tell me, V ,what do you do?
I Broke out of my thoughts and quickly answered her
question. This woman was really starting to bore me. I
offered her another drink which she gladly accepted before
inviting me to her room.
I don’t remember much, only that she was loud and wanted
me to pull her hair harder. She enjoyed being dominated,
playing the innocent woman begging to be fuc*ed. I don’t do
brunettes, but last night, I let my guard down. I fu*ked her
twice before collapsing on the bed and passing out.
The plane arrives in Barcelona on time. As usual, my driver
is waiting for me at the gate. I decide to go straight to the
office, knowing I have a busy day ahead of me. It doesn’t
come as a surprise when we drive out of Heathrow to see that
the skies are gray, the clouds forming in a cluster. It’s summer,
and you’d think that after five years of living in Barcelona, I’d be
used to this, but I still miss the constant sunshine back home.
When it comes to business, I regret nothing. I’ve made
hard and fast decisions, took risks, and never let anyone
influence me any other way. I know becoming a doctor was
my father’s dream, not mine. That’s not to say I don’t respect
him. I’ve never met a man as driven as my father. His dedication and compassion astound me.
Kim Taehyung/ V
Gretchen get Kate in my office
Kim Taehyung/ V
(I may be the CEO, but f*ck me, bend over, and I’ll
wipe your a*s too! I didn’t get to the top by playing on the safe
side. The stress of this upcoming merger is really starting to
aggravate me. I’m not a patient man, those around me know
that. Years of planning and adhering to a strict project timeline
has me itching to close the deal. I need to move forward,
distract myself with another so-called impossible business
venture which will pay off and add to the Kims’ fortune)
Kate
You have a three o’clock
conference call with The Windsor Group regarding the merger,
and your flight to New York leaves tomorrow morning at six.
I’ll accompany you on this flight, and your stay in New York
will be till next Monday. During this time, you have meetings
scheduled with the After Dark investor
Kate
I have
made an appointment with a commercial realtor to look at
potential office locations.
Kim Taehyung/ V
Oh right , the Manhattan office.
It isn’t my idea to have an office in Manhattan, but
investors are pushing to dominate the U.S. market. They insist
on a headquarters in North America, not just London, and
Manhattan is the best place for this to happen according to the
numerous market projections they made me sit through.
Kate
Your brother called to remind you that since you'll be in the city next week, you have to attend the charity event.
Kim Taehyung/ V
Is that all?
Kim Taehyung/ V
It’s going to be busy. Please book the Waldorf penthouse
suite for me. *glance up from my screen* That’s all, you
may leave now.
