BETWEEN CEO AND SINGLE MOM

"You missed your flight?" a beautiful young woman asked in a voice filled with disappointment. Her pair of brown eyes looked teary when she found out that she could not immediately meet her lover.

"Yeah, but I already bought a plane ticket for the next flight. And it looks like I'll be there tomorrow. Wait for me, okay?" replied the man on the other end of the line in a gentle tone of voice. He tried to provide certainty about his arrival so that his lover would not be more disappointed because his return did not go according to the original plan.

The phone call lasted only a moment when the man calling the woman hung up. Meanwhile, the woman could only be silent, while stopping the pen strokes on the drawing tab that she had been working on, make a graphic logo that is still half neglected.

Cheery Natalia Dewari, a beautiful twenty-one year old girl who is currently at the end of her semester of college education.

Tonight, she must be disappointed because of the delay in the return of her lover, Devano, which made her fail to express the courage to gift her lover with her virginity when he returned this time.

Cheery did it all after feeling that his relationship with Devano felt bland because she had not given Devano what he wanted for a long time.

And just today, Cheery mustered up the courage to give the most precious thing she has to the lover who will soon marry her. And it coincided with Vano's birthday today.

The Ritz Garendra Hotel is the place Cheery planned to spend a beautiful night with her lover.

However, what could she do when the plan she had arranged in such a way had to be abandoned when Vano informed him that he had missed his flight.

Cheery seems to be smiling with tears in the corners of her eyes as she recalls her love affair with Vano for the past five years without having sex before marriage like other young people.

"Everyone probably won't believe that I'm still a virgin after being in a relationship with Vano for five years," she muttered to herself while staring at her cellphone screen with the wallpaper of her lover's face.

In the midst of her turmoil, Cheery decided to go to a bar not far from the hotel where she was going to stay to buy liquor. She hopes to forget her sadness and disappointment for a moment.

At the bar, Cheery bought a bottle of liquor and immediately took a sip. The woman relaxed for a moment after the first gulp, then followed by another gulp until there was almost nothing left. Half an hour later, her head was spinning. She finally decided to return to the hotel.

Cheery stumbled and staggered with a bottle of liquor in her hand. When she was in the hotel lobby where she booked a room, she threw the bottle roughly into the trash can next to her.

'Today I've mustered up the courage to reward myself for him,' she thought to herself when she turned towards the trash can where she had thrown the bottle of liquor, then staggered toward the elevator.

Aware of Cheery's drunken condition, one of the hotel staff immediately approached her and took the initiative to take the woman to her room. The man then carried Cheery's body which was no longer able to stand up straight.

Along the hotel hallway, Cheery kept mumbling and raving incoherently until they arrived at the door of the room that Cheery assumed was her room.

"Miss, give me the room key, Miss. Let me open the door!" said the hotel staff to Cheery.

"No! I can do it myself! You just go!" Cheery said half angry.

The hotel staff complied with Cheery's request, but he didn't leave. He noticed Cheery who seemed to have a hard time inserting the key into the door. Of course the key could not enter because she had mistakenly thought that the room was her.

However, the woman did not heed the words of the hotel staff to give her the key to her room.

The man rushed to pick up the fallen key and tried to help Cheery open the door, but Cheery got angry and shouted at him.

"I told you I'd be the one to open the door myself! I don't need anyone else's help! I want to be alone, go away!" Cheery chirped angrily but her sad face at this moment couldn't be covered because tears started to roll down her already red face.

"What is this?" The typical adult male sound was heard from behind Cheery and the hotel staff.

"Sorry, Sir, this lady is drunk. Sorry if we made a fuss."

With his face down while apologizing, the worker quickly explained what was going on right now to the man in charge of the hotel where he worked.

The handsome and dashing man in front of him right now is Troy Garendra, the youngest of the three children of the Garendra family who is the owner of the Ritz Garendra Hotel.

Troy is a young entrepreneur who has just officially become the successor to the Garendra family business. Lately, Troy has been so busy at the company that he doesn't have time to go home to his family's mansion and chooses to sleep in a hotel because it's closer to the office.

But arriving in front of the room, Troy instead had to be faced with a commotion that he didn't want to hear.

"Just leave this woman to me. Just carry on with your work!" said Troy a little frustrated.

The staff immediately left after getting orders from one of the owners of the Ritz Garendra hotel.

Troy approached Cheery and started talking.

"Miss, what can I do for you? Looks like you're in the wrong room. This is my room, Miss. And your room is right behind you right now!" Troy said politely to Cheery.

Cheery turned to Troy with a sharp piercing gaze. Her heart fluttered when she saw Troy's good looks. A glimpse of Vano's face flashed and visualized the face of the man in front of her.

"Hi, handsome man! I know that you are not my lover! But, why is your face disguised like him? You're making fun of me, aren't you?" chirped Cheery whose vision was almost blurry.

Troy looked at the woman in front of him in confusion. It was the first time a drunken woman had dared to come into his room uninvited. And Troy even thought that Cheery was pretending to be drunk and wanted to tease him.

'Gosh, I told you not to send me women as your bribe! But even though I'm tired tonight but you guys actually sent a pretty smart woman. You sycophants!'

Troy cursed inwardly referring to the investors who tried to cooperate with his company and used any means to persuade him, including sending women to his hotel room.

Troy's habit of having multiple partners makes naughty investors try to take their profits. They didn't know that Troy's habit of playing with women had greatly reduced recently.

The man then snorted in annoyance at the behavior of the woman in front of him. What's more, when she was about to speak, Cheery was already unsteady and fell into Troy's arms with her eyes closed.

"You stupid man! I've gotten to this point, but you've thwarted my courage!" Cheery chirped in Troy's arms, "Don't you know, I want to gift my virginity to you tonight?!" she continued while hitting Troy's back.

"Hey, Miss, wake up! Let me help you to your room!" said Troy who was getting irritated with Cheery's reckless attitude.

Cheery let go of her arms and looked at Troy.

"Mr. Handsome, since I'm upset tonight, can you come with me?" said Cheery who sounded seduced by Troy, but he realized that Cheery was drunk and didn't realize what she was saying.

Troy could no longer contain his annoyance. He ignored Cheery's murmurs and attitude and immediately reached into his coat pocket to take out his room key.

Troy brought Cheery into his room, then put Cheery's limp body on the bed where he usually rested.

"Hey, careless lady! I don't know how to hurt you are that you're so drunk like this! But you've pissed me off. I will ask for your explanation tomorrow morning once you wake up!" Troy scolded Cheery and immediately rushed into the bathroom.

After bathing, Troy's body was indeed fresher, but sleepiness from exhaustion made him choose to remain silent and ignore the beautiful woman lying on his bed.

'Then where do I sleep? There's no way I'm sleeping on the couch while that woman is so sound asleep on my bed. You'll see, I'll give you the calculations tomorrow!'

Troy grumbled again in his heart, but still, he didn't want to give up on Cheery who had now take over his bed.
