Pearl

It was 2:00pm. Sophia fell on her bed, exhausted. She had just finished with the decorations and all was left was the guest to start arriving. That would be by 5:00pm so she had some time to get some beauty sleep.

She was a bit happy for one reason. Her sister. She was going to see her sister after a long time. Too bad she couldn't follow her back home. She had to stay here and play Mistress to Jason.

She sat up and brushed her hair backwards, behind her ear. There was a knock on her door.

"It's Chua"

She went to the door and opened it.

Chua was standing there with three big bags with '𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓑𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵' inscribed on each of them. Sophia recognized it as the name of Veronica's company.

"Veronica wanted me to give you this"

Sophia took it. "Thanks. Anything else"

"She said we should be in the living room by 4:00 to attend to the guest"

"Ok. Not a problem" Then she closed the door and studied the bag. Her name '𝓢𝓸𝓹𝓱𝓲𝓪' was also on the bag. She could recall when Veronica said she wanted every female present in the house to wear her new designers at the party. Even the workers.

She sat on the bed and opened the bag. She gasped. It was really beautiful. It was a floor length black gown. The clothing had glittering designs around it. She went over to the mirror and held the gown against her body admiring the high slit by the side of the gown. She loved it.

....

Jason just came downstairs. Janvier had told him a while ago that Veronica needed him.

He sees her. She had her phone in her hand and it looked like she had just finished with a call.

"Thank Goodness you're here. I really need your help" She cried out.

"What's the problem"

"I was supposed to bring this" Veronica said holding up one of her '𝓑 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓑' bags. "To the owner of Xuo Chang"

"She wants to wear one of your designers to the party tonight" Jason asked, surprised.

"Yes" Sophia said breathlessly. "She checked in at a hotel last night here in San Diego. But I don't have time to go there. I have so much to do right now. Janvier has some problems with her outfit. I'm making some calls to my workers in the office to get me a bigger jumpsuit".

Jason takes the bag from her.

"But I don't....."

Veronica pushes him out the door. "I'll text you the name of the hotel. Don't worry. Just go please"

Soon Jason was on his way. He looked at his phone once it beeps.

...𝑵𝒊𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝒉𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒔.....

Jason kept the phone aside. He remembered the hotel. That was the first place he met Angel. They had booked a night together the first time they had met.

Once he arrived, he made his way into the hotel. He saw the receptionist. A small female in huge glasses and a suit too big for her small body size.

"Uh....hey. I'm here on an appointment with ...."

"Oh yes. Are you here to drop off a package for Miss Pueterico?" She said and started tapping on her keyboard after glancing at the bag.

"Yes" Jason said. He was not surprised that the owner of the company happened to be Pearl Pueterico.

He watched as she made a quick call. The telephone was held on her ear with her shoulder, while her two hands were busy looking for something in her drawer.

"...Ok. I'll send him in"

Then she looked at Jason, removing the telephone to place it back on the receiver.

"You can go in sir. Miss Pueterico is in. It's room 1214" She used her fingers to point at a staircase , twisting up. "It's a golden door by your left. You won't miss it"

"Thanks"

Then he went upstairs. It didn't take him more than a minute and he was standing before the door. The numbers 1214 was inscribed on the door in Silver.

This was a 5-star hotel. To afford a night here, you had to pay in a lot of money.

Jason just looked at the door and smirked. "You seem to be doing just fine Pearl. Though, I can't say the same for your sister"

Then he rang the door bell

After a while, the door opened and he came face to face with Pearl. She was looking really good. Her hair was wet and it looked like she just showered. She was in a white fluffy robe that stopped just below her knees. Her hair was piled up on her head and some of it fell in ringlets around her shoulders.

She smiled seductively at him, one of her hands still held the door knob.

"Jason Medes" Then she scanned him from head to toe and looked back at his face. "....For a minute there I thought you were my late father's P.A. Adrian Barnes. You look 𝗔𝗟𝗢𝗧 like him".
