Once Lucy made it home, she was exhausted. She went straight towards the master bathroom to get ready for bed. Kwan wasn't there, but Lucy didn't sweat it, she just wanted to be alone so she can have time to think. She started the hot water and lit her favorite aroma candles as she deemed the lights. The soothing sounds of Anita Baker quietly echoed through the bathroom. The hot water sent a chill through Lucy's body as she dipped her toe in the water before putting her entire body in. This is exactly what Lucy's body needed, this is what her mind needed. It was as if the hot bubble bath temporarily eased the pain. She took this time to talk to herself, to think of a plan before she left Corey behind.
Stripping is out of the question she thought to herself when began to wonder what if. A regular 9 to 5 wouldn't commend her lavish lifestyle, she didn't want to have to downgrade or degrade, so she began to think. A list of job opportunities played in her mind as she tried to come up with the right one.
One job came up multiple times, but Lucy didn't know why... she kept the idea in the back of her mind for later though. Lucy quickly lost track of time, she looked at the clock and noticed she'd been in the tub for an hour; she grabbed the Egyptian cotton soft towel and wrapped it around her body before letting out the water and blowing out the candles."Visitor at front entrance." Her alarm began to ring from her phone. She put on her satin rob and furry Victoria's Secret slippers before heading downstairs.
Once she made it downstairs Kwan stood next to Miyh, "Ms. Santiago. Master Kwan is here to see you." She smiled before going back to work.
"Thank you,Miyh."
"What are you doing here? Don't you have a job to do or something?" Lucy laughed as she hugged Kwan."I was finishing up some business, when I thought of you. You want to go grab something to eat." Kwan asked with a smile.
"I can eat, let me get decent and I'll be right down." Lucy agreed before walking back upstairs to her room.
She went straight to her closet to get something for the night. But she had no idea what type of place they were going to, so she went to her all occasions section in her closet.
I need a new wardrobe, she thought as she looked at all her old clothes.She picked one of her old outfits because she just didn't feel like putting anything fancy on since she was starving.
This will have to do, Lucy thought as she checked herself out in the mirror. She fixed her hair up before spraying her favorite perfume on and walking back downstairs.
"Is this too casual or too dressy?" She asked as she twirled in front of Kwan.
"It's just fine, Love. Let's go. I have to stop by a friend's place before we go." Kwan said as he opened the door for Lucy, walking out with her.
********************************************
Lucy and Kwan were driving for a while when they pulled up to an old paper mill. Kwan's driver opened the door for him before he turned his attention back to Lucy,"This is only going to take a moment, then we can go get something to eat." Kwan smiled before he shut the door. He motioned his driver to drive off to somewhere secluded so no one can see his car, but still be able to see the building.
