Mr. Flowerboy

Since it would be Ariana's first time in intimate contact, Mr. Henson paid much attention to this.

After confirming the background and medical information of Mr. Flowerboy multiple times, Mr. Henson prepared the venue and instructed Ariana many times to take precautions.

Mr. Henson also wants Ariana to experience a romantic relationship with the opposite gender even for once.

But given Ariana's medical condition in the past that gives her a psychological shadow, having a normal romantic relationship would not be possible.

Just looked at how Ariana was normally dressed- she was covered from head to toe, not showing any skin, and even her face was not exposed. Which sane man would like her?

If someone showed interest in her, that man would not be normal.

Anyway, it was a miracle that Ariana volunteered to experience the adult world by herself.

Mr. Henson knew that it would only happen once in a lifetime, so he had to fully support it.

With Mr. Henson's help, Ariana could be at ease.

Mr. Henson let her borrow his villa in the suburbs.

It was as if they were committing a crime. They chose an isolated villa and disabled the cameras. They even let the caretakers have the day off.

It was to protect Ariana's identity. Furthermore, Ariana could only do the 'deed' if she were alone with Mr. Flowerboy in the whole villa.

Mr. Henson also took precautions. He gave Ariana a push-button call in case of an emergency. The cameras would come online and the security who was on stand-by would come in immediately.

Ariana nodded. She understood what risk she was taking.

Finally, the appointed day arrived.

....

It was a chilling night with a round full moon.

There was still an hour before the appointed time comes.

But Ariana has already been standing at the door enacting the upcoming scenes in her mind multiple times.

Under her veil hat, her always calm expression was a bit tense.

It was her first time doing a reckless act and she could not help but be nervous.

What if...she doesn't like the feeling?

What if...she becomes disgusted while touching the man?

Or worst....what if her psychological trauma acted up?

She never even hug her mother nor held her sister's hands. Would she be okay touching another people's body parts?

Perhaps she should have practiced with her little sister's skeleton toy.

Ariana took a deep breath and once again reminded herself that she needs to do it. Her career was depending on this.

For once, she needs to be courageous and step out of her comfort zone. That was the only way for her to grow.

The sound of the door opening woke up Ariana from her trance.

Is Mr. Flowerboy already here?

She glanced at the massive clock hanging in the living room.

Mr. Flowerboy arrived an hour earlier than the appointed time.

Ariana composed herself and waited for the man to come in. The door was unlocked so there was no need to knock.

The sound of the doorknob being turned up echoed in the hall.

A tall man appeared behind the door. The dim light illuminated the man's handsome face.

Unlike in the picture where the man looked flirty and a bit feminine, the man in front of her was a bit different.

He has a beautiful face that could rival a woman's- a tall nose, long lashes, peach blossom eyes, and thin red lips. His skin was fair and smooth, like a celebrity's.

There was a cover of blush on his face and thin sweat covering his forehead as if he had just been exercising.

Although beautiful, there was no feminine air around him.

If there was a description of him, that would be a fragile beautiful prince.

Ariana nodded in approval inwardly. She doesn't know why he looked extra good than in the picture. But his 'personal face' fell into her aesthetics. She might tolerate touching him.

When the man noticed Ariana standing in the corner, he almost yelped in shock.

Ariana was covered from head to toe in black. Especially, her veiled black hat that was covering most of her face scared the hell out of him. She did not greet him nor speak which made the man think she was a ghost.

Before the man could check if Ariana was a person or a ghost, Ariana had already approached him and given him a glass of water.

"Drink first. You have come a long way."

Ariana's voice was soft and melodious which caused the man to accept the glass of water unconsciously.

"I really come from a long way. I walked here." The man expressed his tiredness and drank.

He was thirsty. He finished the whole glass in one gulp.

Ariana studied the man closely.

The hem of his pants was a bit dirty, but his overall appearance was top-notch.

Are 'little white faces' nowadays so high-end? This man looked much better than the actors Ariana had watched before.

He even looked a bit different in the picture. Ariana did not closely look at Mr. Flowerboy's picture in the app. She just selected the one who looked soft and harmless. But the man in front of her did not give her that impression.

"You looked better in person," Ariana commented.

"I heard that often. My pictures don't do justice to me." The man replied and put the glass on the tray that Ariana was holding.

He looked at Ariana's strange outfit. "But why are you dressed like that? Is there some sort of an event?"

"I just dressed this way."

"Oh. Well, people have different preferences." Mr. Flowerboy muttered.

Ariana was satisfied that the man did not judge her or looked at her strangely like other people did. Even if she become dissatisfied with his service later, she would still give him 5 stars for his attitude.

"Is there an available room?"

Ariana took the hint. This little white face was indeed a pro and goes straight to business. But that's great because she likes it that way.

She doesn't need unnecessary conversation.

"Follow me."

Mr. Flowerboy followed her.

Ariana opened the prepared room and lead the man in.

"Strange....why do I feel weak?" Mr. Flowerboy muttered.

He sat on the couch.

"I also feel hot." He said as he opened his shirt's buttons.

Ariana locked the door even though she doesn't have to.

She looked back at Mr. Flowerboy who was now leaning weakly on the couch.

"Because I drugged you."

Mr. Flowerboy: !!

"Don't worry. It would not cause harm to your health. You are just momentarily paralyzed and you will regain mobility in five hours."

The man was horrified. "You...." Then realization came to him. "T-that water..." His speech was also getting slurred.

His tongue was starting to feel numb.

"It's in our deal. I will not do anything beyond our contract."

"...c-con....tract?"

"Yes. I will make sure I pay you well. I am looking forward to your service."

"!!!"

Meanwhile, Ariana's phone on the counter in the living room lit up.

Mr. Flowerboy: [I am sorry I can't make it today. I got in a traffic accident. We can make an appointment on another day or I will refund you.]
