chapter 3

Pearl sighed contently as she lay on the soft bed. She lodged in a five star hotel after checking out from the airport. Her mind wandered back to the guy from earlier on. She shook her head violently. 'Chill girl... That isn't your priority'. But she couldn't stop; especially when she thought about the mole on his earlobe, which glittered like crystal against his fair skin. No, this won't do.. Lying idly will only make her mind wander. A bath then business. She trudged purposefully to the bathroom and mouthed a wow at the sheer splendor of it. It looked grandeur and posh. She removed her robe and hung it on the rack. After adjusting the temperature,she got under the shower....

Pearl sat in front of her vanity table looking bored. Wasn't it about time? His secretary hasn't called her. She was all dressed up and waiting for Mr whatsoever his name was. She clicked her tongue in annoyance. He'd better have a good explanation for being late. With a sigh,she breezed out of the room and strolled over to their meeting place. On her way,she bumped into a manly figure. "Sorr", The words stuck on her throat as she looked at the figure in front of her in surprise.

It was the black mole guy from the plane... Was he stalking her? She wouldn't mind though... "We meet again Miss Pearl" He said in a husky voice. Pearl gazed at him mesmerized... His voice was a killer. But wait,! How in heaven's name did he know her name. "Wondering how I knew your name?" He chuckled. "Here" He handed her wallet to her. Holly molly... She thought... "Thanks a lot mister, I have to get going" She collected her wallet and turned to leave.

Andre gazed at her departing figure and smirked. He suddenly felt she had an interesting personality. A little spitfire...

He smirked as he looked at her back figure until she was out of his sight"what a beauty and an influencial one at that,I need to see her again and maybe get her number,she would be so useful"he smiled and he looked down and saw that she has dropped her purse"what a careless lady she always so absent minded, how can someone be so forgetful,but that increases my chances of meeting her"he said with his face full of joy as he walked out like a baby who has been gifted with a toy he has always wanted.

Pearl has finally met with the secretary and she didn't seem to focus on the meeting her mind was on the handsome man she has been seeing constantly"was he following her or was it just a mere coincidence"she was jilted back to reality by the glass cup she fell in her absent mindness,the drink spilled on her dress"oh fuck what a bad luck",are you ok ma'am the secretary sked concerned because she doesn't seem to have been listening to the conversation."I'm fine.."she then excused her self to use the restroom to clean her dress"she didn't seem to find the bathroom as she took the elevator to use the one the first floor..she opened the elevator she rushed in,she didn't want anyone to see her dress."what a bad day this is ..firstly I didn't get the number of the handsome guy and now this and I don't know where the hell I kept my purse"she didn't realize she was thinking loudly enough for the man beside her to hear..Andre looked down at pearl and knew she must be so absent minded because how on heart would she have seen him..He tapped her shoulder to jolt her to reality"Hi"she looked up so see who tapped her because she didn't know there was anyone in the elevator with her"Hey...you again"she said surprised but excited to see him.... was he really following her"Me again he repeated in a feminine voice to tease her"you forgot your purse miss Yates"he said in a gentle voice ...She takes the purse from him "thanks,I was wondering where I kept that and it contains all of my important documents"thank you"she said to him with a courtesy has they both laugh....The elevator opened has she made her way to the bathroom but he dragged her back"don't you think you need to pay back the favor"..she shivered as she responded"how ...".."well can you come on a date with me tomorrow"he said in a hopeful smile"well I guess I could" she replied in a happy voice,she was so glad he asked her out on a date ..he could see her blushing"I'll pick you up at 6 tommorow ok".."wait do you know my house?""of course, expect me tommorow" he said has he walked back into the elevator..this left pearl in shock "what else does he know about me.."then she makes her way into the bathroom to clean her dress...when she's done,she walks back to the meeting room but the secretary was gone"that's strange"she looked around for him and wondered if she has taken so long in the bathroom...She packs her files and heads home..in her car she's listening to an emotional songs as she lefts down tears of sadness and excitement..she wish she had a real family..she was so confused...she sped off on the road like she didn't care about her life anymore..She kept on pressing the accelator as the car moved at high speed...the brakes were failing..she couldn't stop the car and she crashed into another car and hit her head hard on the steering wheel ..before she faded out she sees a familiar masculine figure.."Andre???".is that you ??she kept on calling his namehe carries her and she finally fades out...
