Chapter 3 - So what? I'm rich!

"Hello?"

"Aila, where have you been all night? You are not a teenager anymore! Why can't you do anything more productive with your life instead of partying every night?!"

Aila looked again on the caller ID & found it was her mom. With a sigh of relief that it was not the male lead, she answered.

"Mom, I promise from this day forward I will turn my life around and start a new leaf. I will be the daughter you will be proud of!"

"I already told you so many times....you what?"

"Like I said, I have found the error of my ways and decided that since I'm an adult now, I'll help you & dad to run the company"

Aila thought to herself, damn this novel. And so what if she lost her virginity? I'm rich now. 100 times better than her day to day grind in her previous life.

With a pause, the other line continued. "Are you my daughter?!" Mother Carter could hardly believe her ears. Instead of the usual bickering with her one and only daughter, she seems to be a different person today which creeped her out.

Changing the subject her mother said "Come to the old house tonight, there's someone I want you to meet. If you really changed for the better, you are not allowed to make excuses this time!"

Aila paused, remembering that her mother had been hounding her for a year now to at least get engaged. She doesn't understand what the fuss was about she was only 23! A whole life was still ahead of her! But apparently rich people have their own circusmtances.

Clearing her throat she answered "OK mom, I'll be there."

"Good! I'll see you then."

Aila thought, well its just a meeting. Its not like getting she's getting engaged on the spot.

Aila got into the bed and had a dreamless sleep as soon as her head touch the pillow.

Meanwhile, Calvin slowly got out of bed. Running his fingers through his hair and thoughtfully went through the events this morning. As soon as Aila woke up she started acting weird. In the past this woman was definitely a leech & probably would have stuck to him like glue. He doesn't know what got in to him that he decided to sleep with her & thought he's going to get a headache dealing with the aftermath.

But contrary to his expectation, the woman acted like he was the leech she couldn't wait to get rid off.

"....."

Thinking back, he does not think it was his bedroom skills that made her skedaddle. He might not like the woman but he knows how to treat women right.

Then he glanced at the chaotic bed and his eyes paused on the red spots in it. The covers are snow white so the contrast is much more obvious.

Could it be...

A phone rings and Calvin answered. After a pause he responded "...Alright, I'll be there"
