Levi was really angry. He gritted his teeth as he read the card he just found on his table. Even without any name on it, he recognize the neat handwriting on it. He couldn't believe that she could do this to him. He had been so nice to her and all but now she left him without even bother to tell him first.

Who did she think she is?

Levi took out his phone from his jacket, pressed the speed dial and wait for few seconds before he heard her familiar voice answering the phone.

"Levi, did you read my letter?"

Of course he did. Why the hell he even called her now?

"It isn't even a letter," the raven haired man spat, "It is a fucking card. A shitty pink card. For fuck sake, Petra, you left a pink card with laces on my table," he hissed, "where the fuck are you right now."

Petra had known Levi for a long time, she already had known that he would be pissed off after he found her message but she had decided that this time she would just do what she want to do.

"Didn't I write it on the card?" Petra sighed, "I am on vacation, Levi... I need it. Me and Aurou need this to fix our marriage. We barely had time together because I was too busy working for you. He was actually starting to get jealous because I spent more time with you than him."

Levi gritted his teeth. He knew that Petra was right. She had been working so hard for him with almost no day off, and she was a married woman it wouldn't be fair to keep stealing her away from her family, but she should have known that his schedule this month was hectic and he needed her, "but there would be another ball soon."

"Well you can bring your girlfriend to escort you."

"You know I have no girlfriend," he groaned, "you have to come back here and escort me to that ball."

Of course Petra knew, Levi didn't have a girlfriend. He had been really busy with his work that he didn't have chance to date anyone. He didn't seem to had any interest to have a girlfriend. Especially since he already had Petra to company him whenever he had to attend some kind of ball or party. Levi seemed to enjoy being a bachelor, Petra on the other hand had started to get worried about the man. He had been thirty two and he really needs to stop relying on her for this matter. First, she had a husband and second, he needed a girlfriend. Really, Petra had always thought that having a girlfriend might be good for him. He had been really stiff and boring. Petra wanted him to fall in love like a normal man. That was also one of the reasons why she chose to go on a vacation without telling him first.

"Listen to me, Levi, there have always been many girls around you. They all would be more than happy to escort you. What you had to do was just asking them and they would definitely agree." Even though he couldn't see her, Levi could imagine Petra face right now, he could see the usually calm and gentle woman must have been smirking right now. She must think that this was funny, "You can choose the cutest one, so it wouldn't look bad for you if she wore high he-"

"Fuck you, Petra Ral. Please remind yourself, there would definitely no bonus for you this month."

Levi turned the phone off and put it back to his pocket.

In the end he had no heart to fire her.

When Levi left his office for a week, he drove his car alone. Erd had insisted to drove him home but Levi dismissed the driver, told him that he want to drive alone to clear his mind despite the fact that he had just been moving to this place for a week now and he wasn't familiar with the city. Levi told Erd that at least he had a GPS in the car so he would be okay.

Or so he thought.

One thing about Levi, he was an analog man. Which meant, Levi was not really good with technology. His phone was an old type which can only be used to make a phone call and send SMS, it didn't even support multimedia message. All email and stuff was normally handled by his assistant, Petra, who would be so nice to print all of the email for Levi to read.

Now that Petra was on a vacation, Levi wondered what would happen to the company. Especially now, when they just started to open a branch in Trost. There must be many things to be done here, actually that had been the reason why he had been here right now, to make sure that everything went okay for the new branch. There had been so many invitations for business dinners and galas that he had to attend while he was here and Petra chose this moment to go on vacation with her husband.

Levi wondered if only he married Petra that time, she would still be here right now and he wouldn't have to worry about going to the ball alone. But that would be so wrong because they both know that Levi was not a husband material and marrying her for those reasons sounded so cruel.

Aurou was lucky, Levi thought as he turned on the same corner for the third time already, he had a bad feeling that he got lost, to have someone like Petra as his wife.

Levi cursed loudly when he saw the restaurant he had just seen twenty minutes ago. It was official. He got lost.

The handsome CEO glared at the GPS installed on his car, angry because he didn't know how to operate it. He promised that once he got back to his hotel he would ask one of his men to uninstall that stupid device and install something better instead. The one that could be easier to use.

Levi looked at his watch and frowned.

He wondered if he could get back before dinner time.

Zoe Hange had never really liked men. They were all dirty, nasty and pervert. All men around her would treat women like some kind of commodity. Thinking that they could do anything to them as long as they pay them. Too bad, in her line of business, there was 99.99% chance for her to meet this kind of guys. The men who would treat her like a whore.

Well, technically, she was really a whore, not that she was proud of this, and she had no choice but to let those men do whatever they want to her as long as the pay.

She needed money, they had money. All fair and square. But that didn't change the fact that she hated those men. She knew that she was being hypocrite but it wasn't like she had other job to do. She had no other skill and right now there had no other way she could get fast money if she didn't do this.

She had a reason.

Standing at the roadside, near a lamp post, Zoe grinned and waved at almost every car passing by. Night at Trost was cold, especially in this season, but Zoe was only wearing a mini leather skirt and skimpy black tank-top. She was freezing but she hadn't gotten any man tonight so she had to be patient.

"Hey Zoe!"

Zoe knew this voice. She groaned and turned, hands on her hips and frowned at the blond man who was now grinning ear to ear.

"What's it, Mike? Can't you see that I am busy?"

The guy named Mike lifted his thick brow, "really? I see that you're alone."

Zoe pouted, Mike was teasing her, "what's it? Really, I can't be seen with you now, people would think that I've a deal with you."

Mike shrugged, "I'll go... I'll go, I just want to tell you that Nile was looking for you."

The chestnut haired woman sighed. She ruffled her messy rat-nest hair with one hand. When she heard that name, she knew what it meant. That bastard was asking for money, and she hadn't even gotten any customer tonight. Zoe took out her glasses from her purse and wear it before she open her wallet. She had only thirty dollars left.

"Give it to him," she gave all of the money she had to Mike, before he could say anything, she quickly added, "I know it is not enough but I promised that I would give him more later."

Mike looked at the money in his hand and let out a heavy sigh. His blue eyes were on her once more when he apologized, "I am really sorry. Nanaba was really sorry too. If only we could do anything..."

Zoe waved her hand. Before she put back her glasses on the purse, she saw an expensive car was coming closer from a far, "don't worry about it, just focus on her rehabilitation now. Now just go. Send my regards to Nanaba."

The tall guy mumbled another thank you before he left. Zoe barely had time to take care of her messy hair when the car stopped in front of her. She smiled seductively as the window pulled down to reveal the handsome man inside the car.

"Hey handsome," Zoe was leaning closer to the car, trying not to touch it, she knew this kind of rich guys wouldn't like it when people like her got their car dirty, "wanna have fun with me?"

The guy was frowning.

Zoe couldn't see clearly without her glasses but she could see that the man had an unhappy face right now.

"I can't find my way back to my hotel," said the man in the car, "could you help me?"

"Sure," Zoe grinned, "fifty dollars."

The man cursed, "are you crazy?!"

She shrugged, this man didn't even try to take a glance on her cleavage, "take it or leave it. Listen, handsome boy, everything has a price." Zoe offered him another business smile.

He looked at her for a moment before he finally sighed in defeat. Zoe was surprised though. She didn't think that he would give up this soon.

"Fine," said the man tiredly. He had been driving around for hours now and he just needed to get back to his room. Besides fifty dollars was not a big deal for him.

Zoe looked at the man expectantly.

"Get in the car."
