Carlos ended the kiss and moved away from Ayana while looking at the face of the girl in front of him who met with redness. She looked embarrassed, but there was also a curious look in both of her beautiful eyes.
However, Carlos did not explain what the action was and tidied up Ayana's slightly messy clothes, he scratched Ayana's lips with his thumb and traced the mark he had made on Ayana's neck. A smile on his lips.
“If you keep being shy like this, I don't promise we'll get out of this room immediately and if we get late, then it's your fault.” Carlos said in an ordinary tone, but there was a smiling meaning behind his words.

They both arrived at a hotel. Not the restaurant that Ayana imagined, because she thought Carlos would take her to dinner.
But, food is the last thing on Ayana's mind at this time, because she was staring at a super luxurious building with a row of lights that shimmered brightly and very stunning.
Elaborate carvings adorn the pillars of this tall building and give an intimidating impression, especially on a girl who has nothing and is not anyone like Ayana. What he saw right now was something new and astonishing to him.
“You till when you're inside?” carlos asked who had opened the door for him. “Quick. I'm hungry.”
Ayana immediately returned to her consciousness and rushed down from the car with the help of Carlos, as she was still unfamiliar with the high heels she was wearing at the moment.
And Carlos, as if he had done it a million times, effortlessly helped Ayana down from the car and clasped her hands in her arms and walked very arrogantly towards the entrance of the hotel lobby.
Ayana did not say anything, but she clasped Carlos' arm tightly, afraid that he would get lost in this strange place.
With eyes full of curiosity and amazement, Ayana saw two men wearing black suits, approaching Carlos and smiling kindly at the two of them.
The man asked Carlos for his needs and asked him about the invitation he had. At that moment, Carlos pulled out a small black card from his pocket and handed the object over.
After observing for a while, the smiles of the two men widened and allowed Carlos and Ayana to follow him with a very polite gesture.
This was the first time anyone had treated Ayana with such courtesy, hence, the girl's mood was a little better and her awkwardness faded a little.
As an Anomic, Ayana is used to one eye. It feels really nice to be treated as if they were equal like this.
They walk down the hotel hallway decorated with shades of white and ash, giving the impression of cold, but also elegant, and, a perfect blend of colors to represent the upper class like Carlos and whoever sent him the invitation.
But, Ayana's shock did not end there, because when the man who delivered them opened a copper-colored door with carvings of unique symbols on its surface and a doorknob that resembled a lion's head, Ayana could not hide her admiration.
“This place is very beautiful..” whispered Ayana to herself in a low voice, she did not even realize that Carlos could hear her mutter.
The man smiled, but unfortunately not a sincere smile.
Ayana did not realize what she was going to face, all she knew now was; she was so fascinated by the things she had just seen for the first time.
Everyone in the room was wearing such beautiful clothes and at once Ayana was grateful that Carlos gave this outfit to her, at least she would not humiliate Carlos.
But, if you think about it, Carlos certainly will not let Ayana embarrass herself on this luxurious event.
There were about hundreds of people in this great hall, women and men, and almost all of them knew Carlos, then started greeting him.
On the other hand, the only thing Ayana could do was to smile and nod a small, timid nod whenever Carlos introduced himself as her new lover.
Namun, tatapan orang- orang di sana dan bagaimana mereka menanggapi komentar Carlos mengenai sebutan ‘kekasih’, membuat Ayana mengerti kalau dirinya bukanlah wanita pertama yang Carlos bawa ke sebuah pesta.
Ayana seems to be just a new toy for Carlos only and it is not so important even for them to remember his name.
“We're going upstairs,” Carlos whispers into Ayanas ears as music fills the hall and makes the words of those around them murmur indistinctly.
Ayana nodded. What else can he do except follow Carlos?
Carlos then grasped Ayana's cold hand and led her to walk to the second floor, passing a spiral staircase filled with several people leaning on the handle of the stairs while chatting with their respective partners.
On the second floor, again Carlos brought Ayana into the door that was guarded by two guards with the face of the sangar, but as soon as they saw Carlos they both retreated and opened the door of the room they were guarding politely.
It seems very nice to have power and wealth like Carlos has. Everyone will obey and obey.
Ayana then got rid of the thought and walked into the room that smelled a very sharp smell of tobacco.
Inside the room were five men, each with two women on their left and right sides. Beautiful women in minimal clothing.
However, there was one man who seemed so engrossed in his solitude and Ayana recognized the man. He is Juan.
If with the current status of Carlos, Ayana who is an Anomic can be treated with so much respect, then Juan and make things much more intense many times than what Carlos has to offer. That was the thing Dalia told Ayana.
Carlos is Juan's best friend, but in a business relationship, Juan is Carlos' boss.
Seeing Juan, Ayana recalled the massacre that Juan had ordered the girls to kill, the first night Ayana was sold to them.
“You're still with this girl?” Juan looked at Ayana with his eyes so sharp. “Looks like she's an attractive girl..”
