Leora

I take a step back to see who the "human wall" was,but the lights in the club did not make it easy.I take a closer look at him and realise he is...

"Ashton Carter?"

"Leora Kohen"

We both say in unison,although mine is more like a question."Oh my God "He exclaims as realization immediately hits.He had bumped into me.

" Your dress"He holds me by the shoulder as he inspects my dress.

"I am so sorry" He immediately begins to apologize."No its oka-"I try to excuse him as I was also guilty.I was too angry to watch where i was going, hence bumping into him.

"No Miss.Kohen,I am the one at fault,I wasn't looking. I am so sorry"He keeps on apologising and now I was feeling guilty.

" Its okay Mr.Carter.I will just go to the bathroom room and get it wiped of"I gesture towards what I believed was the bathroom and he begins to shake his head.

"No Miss.Kohen its silk,the stain wont come off easily" He states as he takes another look at my dress,while the cleaning crew had come to take away the broken glass.

"Why dont I get you another dress and get this dry cleaned" He immediately offers.

Wait what?

"No,no,no Mr Carter" I immediately begin to shake my head furiously."I will go and wipe it off,I am sure it will be fine"I begin to walk towards the bathroom when he gently grabs my arm.

"Okay Miss Kohen.I know you dont want to agree to this because you probably dont know me past whatever any tabloid or buisness magazine has published about me".

Exactly.

I say inwardly.

"And I also know for a fact that stain wont come off" He adds."So why dont we make a deal"

"A deal?" I ask suprised.

What sort of "deal" could i make with one of the richest hotelier's in the US.

"Yes a deal" He responds with a gentle smile."If the stain does on come off,which I know it wont"He quickly adds,making me chuckle.

"You cannot go back in there looking like this,and you cant possibly leave either" He reasoned and I had to admit,he was right.

"So if the stain goes off,I will let you be.But if it does not,you have to let me buy you another dress and get this dry cleaned" He stretches his hand for me to shake.

"Deal?"

"Deal" I shake his hand before I procced to the bathroom, laughing about how cheesy he was.

True to his words,the stain really didnt come off.Infact,trying to rub it off made it more worse.

I sigh in resignation as I step out of the bathroom.

"I am a size 10" I mutter to the man on the other side of the door ,who in anyway could not hide his smile.

"Gotcha.I will place a call to my assistant" He says as he begins to walk away.

Shit.

Almost ten minutes pass before He comes back carrying a black cloth bag.

"That was fast" I take the bag from him,surprised."Yeah"He agrees "Apparently there is a clothing store nearby"He says.

"I told her to get a dress that will match your accessories, because I knew you wont take another favour from me"He rambled,making me smile.
