After probably the most surreal dialog, the aloof girl returns and waits by the door as Mikhail turns to me.

“Go along with Katerina. She is going to put together you. We go away in a single hour.”

Put together me! what the precise fuck.

Dimitri stands and blocking out Mikhail, he raises his eyes and whispers, “Final probability, Melissa.”

It might be really easy to stroll away from this. Katerina might go in my place, certainly. However I promised Serena, and a few might name me silly, however once I say I’m going to do one thing, I do it. I used to be silly, irresponsible, and naive and Adonis’s warning is ringing loud in my ears, however the proud a part of me shakes her head and smiles.

“Thanks for every thing, Dimitri.” I stand after which even shock myself as I impulsively step into his arms and hug him exhausting.

He whispers in my ear as his enormous arms shut round me, “Simply say the phrase, Melissa. There isn’t any disgrace in altering your thoughts.”

“I do know, however, properly–” I draw back and smile. “I wished an journey, and obtained greater than I bargained for however to be trustworthy, I’ve one thing to show and never solely to myself. So, I’m good, however thanks for asking.”

I hate the pity in his eyes as I step away and solid a look at my ‘date’ for the night time. Even he terrifies me and he’s supposedly going to guard me. Watch out what you want for as a result of this want would have been higher left within the lamp.

I comply with Katerina out of the room and as we shut the door behind us, I take a deep breath.

All I can hear are her heels clicking on the marble ground and her ass sways back and forth as she walks. Is she a robotic? I wouldn’t be shocked to seek out she is and as we take one other staircase, it’s in silence, with solely my interior voice berating me for firm.

She guides me to an enormous bed room. Then once more, I doubt something is small on this place and I stare round on the white sterile house and it’s as if I’m in an working theater. It’s so clear I can see my reflection within the ground and Katerina says in a thick Russian accent, “I’ll present you to the toilet. You’ll shave, bathe, and clear your enamel. Wash your hair and apply the lotions laid out on the aspect. When you might have completed, you’ll head by way of the other door to the one you walked in by way of, the place I will probably be ready to type your hair and help you with dressing.”

She nods towards the door and says firmly, “You’ve got twenty minutes.”

It’s as if I’m being examined and if I don’t full it contained in the allotted time I’ll fail, so I say nothing and head right into a palatial lavatory that makes my jaw drop. Fuck!

The largest tub I’ve ever seen is standing in the course of the room. The ground is mirrored, and the partitions are paneled in marble with mirror inserts. There may be not one chandelier however six and an enormous walk-in bathe dominates one wall, together with LED lighting and an obvious waterfall function.

There’s a vainness station set close to an enormous panoramic window and the double sinks and large mirror are suspended from the ceiling. The ground is roofed intermittently by white fluffy rugs that seem like recent from the shop. One other station is full of each lotion, tub foam and beauty {that a} lady may need, and I discover a set already set out which are apparently those she was speaking about.

A large tv display screen is mounted in an enormous ornate body and there may be even an space to sit down on a white leather-based sofa, wearing designer cushions earlier than a glass espresso desk plagued by massive photographic books.

This isn’t a toilet. It’s an announcement, very like every thing else on this penthouse. It’s solely once I catch a glimpse of a gold clock on the wall, I shift into gear and strip off my garments in haste. I elevate the razor off a shelf mounted into the bathe wall and rapidly strip my physique of any extra. That is so freaking bizarre, and I dive into the bathe, wishing I had longer to take pleasure in it and shampoo and situation my hair at velocity. Then I’m amazed when a burst of heat air hits me as some form of jet delivers heat warmth to my physique, abolishing the necessity for a towel.

I spy a big white dressing robe hanging on a hook beside the bathe and even that has been heated to supply a heat, cozy expertise.

I look on the clock and understand I’ve precisely 5 minutes left and rapidly scrub my enamel earlier than slapping on the lotion that smells so wonderful I make a psychological notice of the title.

As I make to depart, I discover a pair of white slippers by the door and slip them on and head into one other room that resembles an unique boutique. White once more, with a marble ground this time and mirrors on each wall, interspersed with marble paneling. This room has bigger rugs, deeper seats, and extra flowers in vases than I’ve ever seen in a single place. There are cabinets on the partitions, dripping with every thing a lady needs, from purses, footwear, belts and sun shades.

Katerina is standing by an arrogance unit that has a shelving unit beside it, filled with merchandise from make-up to fragrance to hairstyling implements. There’s a white velvet chair set earlier than it and she or he says in her impassive voice, “Sit.”

I notice a glass of champagne ready and whisper, “Is that for me?”

“After all.” She removes the towel from my hair and proceeds to brush my curls with an experience that doesn’t escape me.

As I attain for the champagne, my hand trembles and I stare extensive eyed into the mirror at her and whisper, “This place is unimaginable.”

She shrugs. “It’s regular.”

I watch as she units about her job with army precision, and I try and strike up a dialog.

“Have you ever labored for Mr. Romanov for lengthy?”

“5 years.”

“As his assistant?”
