Taming The Las Vegas Playboy

 Wirata opened her eyes, let out a sigh of relief. He did not introduce her to the new lady which she wasn't surprised. She was nobody and definitely was not that important to him. And if in any case, he decided to introduce her, what would he tell the beautiful woman who Wirata was? His temporary high-escort for one year?

 Wirata leaned against the back of the sofa. Thinking about the past that she used to wear a suit and acted like a professional office worker. That time she was so proud of herself to work in the field that she loved. She liked to use her given brain and two hands to earn the living proudly with dignity.

Now that pride was gone. For a moment she felt sad. But immediately hurled off those negative thoughts. She felt her head hurt more and her bones ached so she decided to try to rest by leaning her back against the couch, grabbed a cushion to hug and then closed her eyes.

When they reached the elevator. Stefan stopped and turned to Melissa.

"I forgot something in my office. Please follow Ben and James, I will meet you in the conference room."

He said to her. Ben pressed the elevator to open and invited Melissa to get inside. So she did not have a choice but to step in.

In Ben's mind, he knew the boss did not forget anything because all the folders from the table were in Ben's arms right now!

Stefan opened the office door and walked in. He saw the slender figure sitting on the couch closing her eyes. He walked straight towards her and bent down to kiss on her forehead. Wirata opened her eyes from drowsiness because of the analgesic effect. She blinked, was surprised to see him came back.

"Why don't you lie down. Make yourself comfortable. Wait for me here. I will try my best not to stay away for long."

He said with a gentle voice. He helped her to lay on the soft couch, put the cushion under her head. Wirata smiled wearingly at him and nodded. He bent down and kissed on her cheek then walked out of the room again.

After the meeting, Stefan got a telephone call from his father. He had an order for Stefan to have Melissa at the Las Vegas branch office! Stefan had no idea why.

His father said that because his branch had worked hard and did a brilliant job for many years. Melissa wanted to learn from him so that she could apply the method to her company in the future to make it better and more successful.

Michael Mackenzie put down the phone after finishing talking to his eldest son. He had a plan in his head by sending Melissa to Stefan for them to get to know each other. Michael had thought that his eldest son was ready for another step of his successful life.

It was time for a grown man to settle down and build a family. He believed that Melissa was suitable for Stefan. They used to be friends and Michael also knew that Stefan used to like this young woman. Therefore, if everything went well according to his plan. The Mackenzie would hold a big event called a wedding ceremony very soon.

"My father said to welcome you to stay at our hotel."

Stefan told Melissa when they were walking back to his office.

Melissa nodded to acknowledge. She knew that Stefan was living in the penthouse on the top of that hotel.

"Do you drive here? Where are you staying?"

Stefan asked. He did not know how she got here. In fact, he did not pay any attention at all since when she had arrived from Boston and where she was staying at the moment.

"No. I took a taxi here as I don't know the roads in Las Vegas yet. I am staying in a hotel not far from your hotel. My suitcases are there. You'll pass my hotel on the way back. So can you give me a lift?"

Melissa asked. 

"Sure. "

he said. They reached the front of his office. He slowly pushed the door open. Seeing the slim figure lying and sleeping on the couch. She must have heard the door opened so she startled and opened her eyes slowly, using the back of her hand to rub her eyes like a small child. She hurried to sit up when she saw them came into the room.

 Stefan couldn't help but smile a little. She tried to tidy up her hair. Her face was a bit red and she blinked rapidly to wake herself up fully.

"Ben, take Melissa to her hotel."

Stefan said to his bodyguard. Then he turned to Melissa.

Melisa, Ben will take you there and he will wait for you to check out. Please take all your suitcases to our hotel. My people will get a room ready for you."

Stefan said to her. Melissa blinked a second to hear that he was not going with her.

"Oh, I don't want to mess you about. I will be fine with a taxi. "

Melissa said. She glanced at the Asian woman on the couch as Stefan kept sending his gaze there every five minutes.

"This is Wirata. She got a cold. I don't want you to take a risk by sitting in the same car as her. Please go with Ben."

He gave her the reason which sounded as if he cared and concerned about her health. Melissa then smiled sweetly at him. So the woman was called Wirata. He still had not introduced them properly. Melissa thought maybe she was not going to stay with him for long.

 "Okay. I understand. Hm, can we have dinner together tonight? I have just arrived here and I don't know anybody. "

She said with a sweet smile. Stefan turned to look at the person who was sitting quietly on the sofa.

"I am sorry, Melissa. My schedule's already booked for tonight. You will be staying here for a long time yet. Let's do it another time."

The harsh voice said. His statement was quite open and straightforward. Melissa tried to hide her disappointment under her understanding smile. She nodded.

"No problem. See you around."

She said and walked to him, gave him a kiss on his cheek and walked out of the room. Ben followed.

Stefan walked to sit down beside the poorly person.

"How are you feeling?"

He asked. lifted her chin up and push left and right as before. Wirata smiled languishingly.

"You should go with Ben. I have the flu you may catch it. "

Wirata did not answer his question but told him to go in a separate car. She already knew her symptoms. The flu was worse than a cold. 

"The flu? Holy shit. That's not good. I'll call my doctor when we get home. James will drive another car for us. And I told you already that I am not afraid of just the virus. It will take more than the flu to bring me down."

He said, looking at her with his worried eyes and put his hand on her forehead to check the temperature. He did it right this time!

He stood up and helped her to get up. James knew the situation so he went down to get another car ready and waiting on the G-floor. The car could get access to the front of the elevator just like at the Grand MC hotel.

Stefan wrapped his arm around her waist.

"If you can't walk, I will carry you in my arms."

He said and bending down to get ready to lift her up. But Wirata shook her head. 

"I can walk by myself, just have the flu, not a broken leg."

She refused to let him carry her. The way he was treating her with caring and concern made Wirata sighed and telling herself that... Don't be too sensitive and soft by his acts. He was on and off with his mood as she knew well. Right now, he might have thought she was the same as little Summer when the puppy wasn't well.

"Will you just shut up. You are poorly right now. Let me take care of you. Stop being stubborn." 

He gave her a scolded face. Then he lifted her up into his arms and walked out of the room riding the elevator down to the car.
