The Office Scoundrel

Chapter III - "Dressed to Impress"

The red Ferrari pulled up in front of the Oceano hotel on the other side of town. Katerina had never been to this side of town, it was the upper class of Elsmley. The streets were filled with men in suits and women in classy attire; she felt so out of place. When they got out of the car Nathaniel turned towards Kat "Slave get the luggage." He strolled off as she screamed "WHAT!" 

She later found herself struggling to carry the suitcases through the foyer of the hotel. All the customers and employees just watched her from a far. For some reason she was feeling really angry and an image of Jaspar’s face appeared in her head. She started swaying slightly and the tower of suitcase she was carrying nearly toppled down on top of her.

A pair of hands grabbed the majority of the cases off her, pulling them out of her grip. "Need a hand?" the most charming and well-spoken voice questioned her. She looked up from her imaginary image of Jaspar towards the man holding the cases. He was well-groomed and had an attractive appearance with shaved black hair and stubble. Kat thanked him but had to rush off before she lost track of Nathaniel. 

Out of breath as she opened the room door, she saw no-one inside of the room. She dragged Nathan's suitcases into the room and hurled them onto one of the double beds. Throwing herself onto the other double bed, she closed her eyes momentarily. Regaining her breath from carrying the cases up the stairs, but losing it again suddenly as the door to the bathroom opened. Out walked Nathaniel in his bare body with just a towel clinging to his waist. His carved out body defined just as she had seen it on television in some of his music videos. He was a rock star after all, he had to keep up this things if he was going to stay in the industry. 

She shrieked at him covering her eyes with a pillow off the end of the bed. He shook his head walking over to his suitcase, muttering to himself "Stupid slave, acting like a little girl." He unzipped one of the suitcases, and opened it up. His jaw dropped in horror when he looked inside the case. He instantly sent a look over to Kat "Is this some kind of joke?" Kat moved the pillow from her face, peering inside of the suitcase. There were bundles of bras and underwear stacked up in the case, with lace and pink patterns.

Kat's face went bright pink "they're not mine, I brought no clothes remember!" He sighed, distressed enough even before she missed the point he was making. Nathan murmured to himself as he started zipping the case back up "Cases must have been mixed up; I'll need clothes for tonight." He rang up his personal hair dresser and clothes stylist ordering them both to come round.

They came quick and set up all their goods inside of the hotel room. Kat sat back and watched as they groomed him. He wore a dark green suit and tie that actually went quite well with his dull grey coloured hair. Meanwhile his hair dresser trimmed his hair keeping it as long as possible and flicking it off in all directions to create that messy rock star look. Nathan looked in the mirror, his green eyes looking at himself in admiration. In the back of the mirror he noticed some sort of slob laid out flat on the bed behind, staring into space. Nathan looked at his hair dresser and clothes stylist with hope as he gave them one last order "Do that slave on the bed too, make her look good enough to hang around with me. I'm already late so I'm heading down first." 

He strolled out the room his mood being somewhat merrier than previously. The hairdresser clutched Katerina by the hand and pulled her onto the seat Nathan was sat on. Without even a word of consultation leaving her mouth she began to cut away at Kat's hair, letting huge chunks drop down to the floor. Kat screamed "What're you doing! My hair!" The hairdresser replied in her thick Italian accent bluntly "Bella, I make you look like a princess...so shh your mouth!" too scared to argue back Kat just kept quiet. The hairdresser cut her long locks of brown off until the tips of her hair touched her neck. Her hair was being dyed but she had no idea to what. She just sat in silence waiting for this change to take place. 

After she slipped into a red dress that hugged her hips defining her curves she never even knew existed, Kat made her way through the hotel corridors at running pace, nearly tripping at the bottom of her dress as it flared out in front of her heels. She turned the corner and bumped into a person incoming from the opposite direction. His drink spilt all over his shirt and he tumbled down to the ground, landing flat out on his bottom. He looked from his shirt up to Kat who was now leaning down with her hand out in a masculine yet flirtatious manner as he could see over the top of her dress. He took her hand and stood up, his eyes infatuated with Kat. Kat squinted her eyes slightly and noticed that it was the same man who helped her in the hotel lobby earlier.

"It's you! Thank you for your help earlier!" The man thought momentarily before letting a grin form on his face "You had changed so drastically I didn't realise it was you at first. You look sensational." She blushed slightly though it was easily hidden behind her blusher she had put on. He held his arm out to her "I'm Tyler, are you attending the movie event this evening?" she nodded to him her mannerisms being more timid than before. He grinned at her "I'm also going there, shall we go together?" Kat didn't know who this guy was but he looked like a model, flawless face with handsome features and an appealing tailored suit. What caught her eye the most was on top of that he was a gentleman!
