Chapter 7

After lunch in silence, Daphne Tjia and Ansel Balder sat in silence watching the big TV. In ten hours they would be in Greece. What should Daphne Tjia do in ten hours? The phone must be off. TV shows are not interesting. The handsome man in front of her felt like they were being spied on. As a result, Daphne Tjia just stared at the plane window. She scanned the clouds below and pondered until Ansel Balder's watch showed ten o'clock in the evening.

"Daphne Tjia, aren't you sleepy?" asked Ansel Balder.

"So sleepy. You go to sleep first, let me sleep here." Daphne Tjia knows herself. She is a slave. She was on this jet to pay off her father's debt, not for fun. Where there is a slave in the same bed with the master, except for sex slaves. Oh, Daphne Tjia suddenly shivered. She is obsessed with Bella Swan who married a virgin. Virginity is becoming increasingly rare in America. Daphne Tjia wants to keep her until she gets married.

"Sleep in the room. Let me sleep here." Ansel Balder turned his face from the Transporter movie on TV to Daphne Tjia.

"I'll just sleep here. You sleep in the bedroom," Daphne Tjia refused politely. Hollywood makes many films that contain test scenes. Can Ansel Balder test how self-aware Daphne Tjia really is? Her mission is to pay off her father's debt, once in a while Daphne Tjia wants to be a useful child by saving her father. Don't let her impertinence get her thrown out of the airplane window.

"Daphne Tjia, you're a girl. You should sleep in your room. I'll be on the sofa."

Of course Ansel Balder couldn't have let Matthew Tjia's daughter sleep on the couch. However, the girl did not move from her seat. She was stubborn.

Ansel Balder's brown eyes looked at her. "Yeah, let's sleep in the same room, if you don't mind."

"Okay." Daphne Tjia replied. Looks like she needs a spare heart because her current heart is beating too fast.

And so, they ended up in a big room with a big bed too. Daphne Tjia's breath caught. Either she should regret or be happy with her decision to sleep with Ansel Balder. Time and again the girl turned her gaze in another direction so as not to be tempted by the beautiful panorama.

"I used to sleep naked." Ansel Balder had already taken off the clothes that wrapped his upper body. Now he only wears shorts so that the perfect muscle sculpture tempts Daphne Tjia's faith.

However, the scars on Ansel Balder's body made Daphne Tjia very curious. Where did he get that much damage from? When? Who? Why? And hundreds of questions swirled around to confuse her. But remember Ansel Balder's rule. No question on the jet plane.

Ansel Balder then took his place next to Daphne Tjia who was still sitting cross-legged on the bed with her breath getting tighter and her heart beating faster and faster. She didn't dare move a single part of her body.

"Are you okay?" asked Ansel Balder as he sat on the side of the bed.

"AB, don't you feel uncomfortable sleeping with me?" Daphne Tjia asked back.

Silence for a moment. Ansel Balder was eager to burst out laughing. Yes, of course he was uncomfortable sleeping with women other than Rachel Colleen. A moment later, Ansel Balder took two pillows, arranged them so that they became a barrier between them.

"What's wrong with you? Are you afraid I'll rape you?" Daphne Tjia is a bit offended by AB's actions. What is she? Virgin robbery?

"You don't have to be afraid of me harassing me. There's already a limit to this." Without any more awkwardness Ansel Balder lay his half naked body next to Daphne Tjia. The girl was still sitting cross-legged next to Ansel Balder.

How about she text her father like this:

I slept with Ansel Balder.

Do you think her father's high blood pressure will recur or not? Or on the contrary, will he be happy because his debt will be paid off soon?
