Chapter 1: Meetings

After putting on my "uniform" I went to the washroom to wash my face. I had already accepted this job and there was no turning back nor backing out. My first customer would come to me soon enough. "Would you like the usual, or..?" I could hear the shop owner, Shiyo, outside the washroom, near the entrance. "What would you recommend?" a crisp, cool unfamiliar voice asked. I confirmed that it did not belong to any of the other employees. I braced myself and pushed open the door.

A red haired man with mesmerizing blue eyes was walking beside Shiyo, headed in my direction. Then, his gaze fell on me and I forced myself to look away. "I've never seen her before," the man stated. "Ah, this is Toya Rima. She's new," Shiyo introduces. "This is Shiki Senri-san, our most frequent VIP."

I had to admit he looked hot. Yet if he came here, he could not be any better than those dirty old men. I, Toya Rima, was forced to work as a hostess so that I could pay my father's debt. It was my last choice. The man named Shiki Senri was wearing a suit. A closer look at it told me that it was from Shidori, the most famous and popular company even with international rivals. Wearing such an expensive suit told me that he was probably a CEO from some big famoud company. To think that someone like him came to a place like this, it ruined my image of him. To top it off, his next words made me completely dislike him.

"Then I'll have her."

I brought my eyes back onto him, searching for any possible reason why he would be interested in me. My search was proven pointless as he looked back at Shiyo. "I'll have the usual room prepared immediately," Shiyo said and left with a bow Shiki then turned back to me. He looked me up and down as if judging me. "You don't fit," he remarked simply. "Pardon?" I said in a slightly louder tone than supposed to. Even though I was not really interested, his words had got to me. "It's a compliment," he replied. "Well, sorry for not being made the way you would like," I retorted sarcastically with a slight bow. Yet this man in front of me did not falter, he even shot me a sharp glare.

Just as he was about to seemingly tell me off, Shiyo called out to us. We headed towards her where she then brought us to a room that was supposingly his "usual room". She opened the door and gestured for us to enter. As I passed Shiyo at the door, she mouthed some words, which seemed to me like "Good luck". The door shut behind me and when I turned to face my guest, I saw that Shiki had already taken his seat. I faintly recalled being taught to sit next to the customer. Thus, I approached him and unwillingly took my seat next to me.

From the corner of my eye, I could see a smirk appear on his face for mere seconds before he moved away from me. "You don't have to," he said with a slightly mocking tone. "What?" I questioned his intentions. He merely ignored me and reached for the glasses of wine placed on the table before offering one of them to me. "Your expression is showing," he said. "Well then I'm sorry," I replied, my words dripping with sarcasm, giving him a slight "bow". Then, I accepted the wine from him. "If your customer wasn't me you would have been slapped already," he said while sipping his wine. "Just being here does not make you much better than them," I replied. There was a moment of silence before he put down his glass and snatched mine away from me. He placed it down on the table. "What are you doing?" I questioned his actions. His hand reach out to me and, swiftly, he pinned me down on the sofa.

"A rude and disrespectful person like you has to be shown her place."

He cupped my chin, moving dangerously closer towards me. He eyed my lips like how a predator would do to his prey. As seconds passed, the distance between our lips seemed to have disappeared. I shut my eyes tightly, scared of what would happen next. However, what I was expecting never came. I felt him release my chin and instead, they were placed at the back of my neck. However, I could still feel his breath on me. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that he did not pull back.

"If you keep up that bad attitude of yours, you won' t survive here."

The look in his eyes warned me not to say anything more. With that, he crashed his lips onto mine.
