Chapter 3 Drunk

Melissa's POV

When I turned to leave I caught a glimpse of a familiar face. My step froze. I quickly turned to take a closer look just to make sure it wasn't an illusion. I slowly made my way towards Arthur Davies who was sitting alone. I quietly sat beside him. When I sat down beside him the couch sank in drawing his attention, I opened his eyes and glanced at me before he leaned back, closed his eyes and spoke.

"Why are you here?"

I was silent for a while. My reaction was a bit slow at the moment. I just kept staring at him until Davis opened his eyes once more.

This gave me quite a shock, I subconsciously leaned back and nearly fell off the chair. Arthur Davies looked at me and said again

"State your purpose, don't make me repeat myself".

" Well I....emm... I just... sorry I came here with my friends and went to use the restroom, I couldn't find my way back, chose a direction and ended up here. I didn't mean to intrude ".

Arthur Davies looked up at me which made my toes curl.

"Oh then what are you waiting for? leave".

I was a bit disappointed. For some reason I found the courage and introduced myself to him.

" My name is Melissa Austin. Nice to meet you".

"Are you done"?

I was left speechless by his remark, I had no choice but to give him his space. I didn't want him to hate me before he even got to know me. I turned and headed towards another direction. After wandering around the club trying to avoid some creeps, I finally found my companions.

Due to my encounter with Davis my emotions were unstable; I kept drowning glass after glass of alcohol until I became numb. I started feeling uncomfortable so I left.I already booked a room in a hotel close to the bar.

I slowly made my way to the hotel. I was drunk and it took me a while to get to my room. I immediately got into bed and slept off.

Few hours after I fell asleep someone came in and laid beside me. I wasn't aware of what was happening around me since I was in a deep sleep.

I was still feeling drowsy when I woke up, it took me a while to come to my senses.when I did I felt burning gazes on me, and this freaked me out. I looked up to find out that I was not alone in my room.

I became clear headed instantly, I used the duvet to cover myself properly, only my eyes were visible.

I was yet to understand what was going on, I started wondering if I stumbled into another room that wasn't mine. But the hotel room card could only open the door to the room you booked so there was no way I entered the wrong room. So that was definitely my room, could anyone please explain to me what they are doing here? I asked myself trying to understand the situation

I looked around the room and I noticed that there was a man by my side. I took a closer look at the man beside me only to find out that it was actually Arthur Davies.

'Okay I never saw that coming' I thought to myself. So these people are not here for me but for Arthur Davies, I didn't know if I should be relieved or I should start panicking.

"Mr Davies we heard that you are flirting around with women is that true "

"Is she one of your partners "

"We heard that you're hiring prostitutes and involved in illicit affairs, is that true?"

"Young lady, were you hired by my Davies to spend the night with him?"

"Who are you to him?"

The reporters regained themselves and started questioning Davies and I.

I was taken by surprise as Davies suddenly pulled me closer, his actions catching me off guard. I stiffened, unsure of how to react, and their questions continued to flow as I laid there.

Davies pulled me, blocking me from the view of the reporters.The room fell silent, with all eyes fixed on us, as the reporters seemed equally shocked by Davies' sudden move.

I remained still, unsure of how to respond to Davies' sudden gesture. But as I laid there in his arms, I realized I wasn't opposed to the intimate action. In fact, I had often fantasized about this very moment, and so I decided to give in to the sensation, to enjoy the feeling while it lasted.

" what are you all doing here".

Davies didn't give them the opportunity to continue questioning him.

"You are really bold, aren't you". Davies gave them a cold smile. I didn't know if it was a happy smile as u could only see the did of his face from where I was.

"What did you hope to accomplish by bursting in on me and my fiance? Tell your company to expect a letter from my lawyer. Each and everyone of you will face the consequences of your actions. " The smile on his face vanished instantly, I could feel his anger bubbling as he held me. His grip on me tightened which scared me a little. I tapped him a little, gaining his attention.

"You're hurting me." I whispered.

He let go as he turned to face the reporters again.

"All of you get out ".

Everyone was shocked to hear this, I flinched a little at how load and commanding his voice was

"Mr Davies, we are just trying to do our job."

"Does your job involve invading my fiancé's privacy? It's understandable if you barge in on me as you please but leave my fiance out of it.

'Wait! What! '

'Did he just say fiance' 'When did I get engage'

It was the second time he was referring to me as his fiancée, I thought I was just imagining things the first time.

Things took a dramatic turn, even I was shocked by his sudden declaration. The reporters exchanged dubious glances, I wouldn't have believed it either, alot of questions where running through my mind but I knew that this was not the right time to start asking questions

" Mr Davies, is she not your one night stand how did she become your lover. "

"Mr Davies it is not that we doubt what you're saying. From our investigation we know fully well that you're single, you don't have any girlfriend so where did this fiancée of yours pop out from."

"Is this a cover up to clear your name?"

" How long have you two been dating "?

" Is this just an excuse to cover the truth "?

" Mr Davies, please say something".
