2 Join the Meeting

My eyes were wide open as I quickly made my way to my room. I cannot believe what I just saw! It is not like my whole innocence just got tainted but I just caught the Xyan that everyone looks up to having sex with a woman in our house!

It is not surprising for a man like him to have his needs and have sex but can't he wait until they can finally get the privacy needed to do such way of pleasure? In a party in someone else's house, really?

I slammed the door and locked it as soon as I got inside. I do not want to go down anymore if I am going to see the face of that man! And does that woman not have any bit of respect for herself that she just let him do what he wants to do with her whenever and wherever? I hope it was the same woman who was caressing his arm earlier or my image of him being a womanizer will only worsen!

I removed the dress, jewelries, heels, and makeup that I was wearing because I had no intention of going back downstairs anymore. My parents will be looking for me but I can just tell them that I got tired and that I wanted to rest already. I want to take a nice and relaxing bath after the stress this night has given me. I always have the maids prepare my bath for me so it is ready whenever I want to take a bath.

I went inside the bath tub and took my phone as I let the milky water with rose petals bathe my body. I browsed the name 'Xylan Mavrick Travez' as I remembered being introduced to him earlier. Almost every result is about his fame as billionaire. I clicked the link of a website that tells all about him.

He is the only son of Frederick Travez, founder of Travez Group. He has an older sister that pursued a career in acting. How about his Mom? Nothing in here says anything about his Mom.

Just like me, he studied in De La Salle University, taking civil engineering. He graduated with latin honors and topped the bar exam. He also has a masters degree in Business Administration. He is currently twenty six years old and is the heir and current CEO of all the companies of Travez Group.

The companies under Travez Group are mainly large producers of construction supplies but ever since he took over, they expanded into and entered the ties of civil engineering and architecture. Their company also has been the largest producer of cement in the country and they are one of the best cement production companies in all Asia and their business is expanded even in Europe. I raised a brow. So, he really is a business prodigy, huh?

I suddenly realized what I was doing. Why am I researching for a man that I have no bit of interest in? Worse, for a man who ruined my night by openly having sex in the powder room of our house? I quickly turned my phone off and placed it on the side table so I can finally focus on continuing my bath.

After my bath, I wore my bathrobe and stood in front of the mirror in my bathroom to do my skincare routine. I also blow-dried my hair after and changed into a lingerie like what I normally wear to sleep. I chose a black lingerie nightwear to wear for the night. I also lit up a scented candle and turned off the lights leaving only the lamp on my bedside table on. I felt the coziness of my bed and it was not long before I finally fell asleep.

I was woken up by a maid knocking outside my bedroom door. I left it locked last night so they were not able to come inside. I started getting ready to go to school and when I finished, I headed downstairs to eat breakfast.

As expected, my parents were already seated in front of the dining table. I went to each of them to kiss their cheeks. "Good morning," I greeted both of them before sitting in front of my Mom with my Dad seated at the center.

"Why did you leave the party last night without any words, Astra? Xyan looked for you," Mom calmly said but I was able to sense disappointment in her voice. I was about to get some french toast but I stopped and looked at her. Xyan looked for me? To what, apologize for being horny and not being careful enough? Then, I am glad I left the party because I did not want to face him!

"I am sorry, Mom. I got tired so I left and went to my room to rest," I apologetically said and went back to getting food.

"We will be having a meeting later regarding our official partnership. Why don't you tag along? Maybe Xyan had an important matter to discuss with you," Dad added, looking straight to my eyes like he is secretly hypnotizing me.

I widened my eyes and immediately shook my head, "No need for that, Dad. I do not remember having anything to discuss with that man," I said, controlling my voice in order to not show the annoyance building up inside of me.

"Do not call him like that, Astra!" Mom scolded me, "We do not want our family to look bad in his eyes. We are very much glad to entertain him so if he wants to say anything to you, you should let him!"

I sighed. Here we are again with their obsession for the needless and unnecessary caring for their image and name. They are then again using their power to leave me no choice. What more can I do than just nod and agree?

"I will be joining the meeting, Mom, Dad," I said, faking my smile and joy. I finished my meal without saying anything else before finally leaving this house version of hell. When will I ever get to have a say about my decisions and what I want in life?
