They sit at the table. The food comes in a few minutes. Ben is having a hard time eating. Every bite feels like a burden now.
“Can I ask something?” Ben softly asks.
“Sure!”
“You look pretty rich. Then how come you can't even avoid a jerk like Robert? How is it different from my life then?”
Ravana puts her fork down and wipes her mouth. She faces Ben.
“It's not like I can't avoid him. I chose not to.” Ravana says softly.
“Why?”
“Even though he is a jerk, he is a good friend. He has been one for the last twenty years or more.”
Ben notices the look in Ravana's eyes. It is different. Much softer and loving. He doesn’t say much.
Robert walks to his hotel room and calls someone. A sweet male voice comes from the other side.
“Hello?”
“What are you doing, bustard!”
“Robert?”
“Who else calls you bustard?”
“What's up? How is life?”
“Shut the f**k off! Ravana was here!”
“Oh yeah, you guys had the meeting today. How was it?” He pants as he talks.
“She brought some tight-skinned kid with her... They were acting all lovey-dovey!” Robert says.
“Her new boyfriend?”
“It looked like a sugar baby!”
“That's unusual of her. I will talk her out. Don't worry! I am a bit busy now, I will call you later.”
That person cuts the call. Robert stands there like a fool.
"Don't worry????" Robert shouts. "As if I am supposed to worry! That dumb f**k Donzai!" he shouts again.
A dark office room with only a small laptop light is on. The table starts to shake from the love tornado going in the room. A small girly voice moans, "Donzai..."
Ben and Ravana are having dinner.
“I won't mind acting like your boyfriend anytime.” Ben says.
“That will be great.”
“Do you hire often?”
“Hosts? Escorts? Regularly!”
Ravana says with a big smile. She stops for a moment and carefully looks at Ben.
“How old are you?” Ravana asks.
“Twenty-three…”
“You are old enough for this stuff!”
They finish eating and leave. Ravana drops Ben at his house.
The office room is covered with the steam of love. Ravana walks in the room.
“What are you doing in the office this late…” Ravana says confused.
She switches on the lights and finds two people in an inappropriate situation. Donzai says being shocked,
“Ravana?!”
“Ah! This is what you are doing!”
Ravana doesn’t pay any heed to them and walks towards the table and puts a file there.
“Check it when you are done. Our new agreement with Pacific Blue.”
Donzai and the girl start to fix their dress. Ravana leaves the room. Donzai runs after her.
“Ravana…”
“What happened? It's alright, I didn’t see anything.” Ravana says while walking.
“Who cares even if you did!” Donzai says while following her.
“haha, that's right.”
“Robert called me.”
“To b***h about me?”
“Kind of... He was telling something about a young guy. Did you get a sugar baby?”
“Not yet.”
“You plan to?”
“Is it okay to leave a girl in that empty office?” Ravana says as she opens the car door.
Donzai realizes he has come down a lot while talking.
“You just came to drop the file?”
Ravana looks behind at the girl who is slowly walking towards them.
“No, but it's alright.” Ravana softly says.
"Drive safely!" Donzai looks back and says.
Ravana nods.
Donzai looks at Ravana's car that is going far and further away.
Donzai looks at the girl behind.
“Hey, sorry I left you alone there.”
“What did Ravana say?”
“Nothing in particular.” Donzai’s voice seems a bit down.
“Should we continue?” The girl shyly asks.
Donzai looks at the road where he can’t see Ravana’s car anymore. His face is covered with an unusual sadness.
“Let's call it a night. Hop in, I will drive you home.”
Ravana reaches home.
She lives in a huge mansion all by herself. She walks to her bed and throws her body on the bed. She stares at the ceiling. Her room looks huge, and she looks really small compared to the room. She closes her eyes. She hasn't changed her dress and falls asleep like that.
Ben receives a message that says that all his tuition was paid off. He looks around the small room he lives in. He feels like the walls are trying to stomp on him. He forcefully closes his eyes. He starts to think of his day. The sweet voice of Ravana rings in his ears, "You want to do something more?" Ben's ears became red as he thought.
Donzai has his power glasses on and is working on something on his laptop. Donzai is a handsome man in his mid-thirties. He is the business partner of Ravana. He is a total womanizer. He broke too many girl's hearts because he doesn’t want to be committed. His motto is, "Don't get her pregnant!" and he follows it strictly. He always has a big NO to unsafe s*x. With those glasses, Donzai looks like a scholar. Too hot to handle. Donzai removes his glasses and leaves a breath.
“Sugar baby? Huh!”
Donzai looks outside his window and dissolves in deep thoughts.
