“I’m escaping,” she replied.
The man stared at her with no expression; his mesmerizing eyes were still fixed on her. She scuffed her feet, feeling even more naked under his stare than she did a few “topless” moments ago.
“I'm Rene, what's your name?” she asked holding out her hand. She had to say something; the awkward silence was making her anxious.
“Joshua,” he replied, briefly, as he shook her hand.
Fortunately, none of the other guests had noticed Rene’s wardrobe malfunction and continued with their business. “Oh! Say, Josh...would you be so kind as to get me another drink?” Rene asked. He was a bit old to be working as a resort server, yet his beige-coloured pants and white Polo shirt were consistent with the hotel’s uniform. “Another drink?” he repeated her words with a frown on his face.
“I said please,” Rene said sweetly as she smiled at him. Perhaps there was some sort of language barrier that she was not seeing.
“You think that I work here?” He laughed before turning on his heels and walking away.
“Well...don't you?” Rene shouted after him. He was definitely handsome enough with those piercing eyes, thick hair and powerful physique. Too bad, it could not make up for his arrogant personality.
Could he actually be a guest?
Oh well, Rene thought as she shrugged her shoulders. It would not be the first time that she thought a man was something he was not. Grabbing her robe, she headed to her room. Upon entering, reality caught her off guard as she shut the door and sagged against the wall.
What on earth had possessed her to fly half way around the world?
