He knew he needed to leave to give her some privacy, he went to the bathroom to have his bath, he couldn't forget his passionate night with her, he couldn't forget her, he couldn't forget how she smelled like a mixture of lavender and alcohol. All his thoughts were of her.
Williams wondered how he would meet her, knowing fully well he took advantage of her drunkenness although he was drunk too, how would he explain it to her? This feeling was weird. He couldn't understand it.
He instantly knew she was different from that very moment. She made him feel different. She made him worry and overthink that no one had done that before.
As his thoughts were occupied with her while he finished up his bath, he grabbed a towel and left the bathroom.
Williams noticed how empty the room was, as he couldn't see any image of her nor did he see the dress that was laid in the bed by his secretary or her ripped cloth on the floor. He knew she was gone.
He quickly got dressed and sent for his secretary, Arthur.
Arthur pulled up to the R&B hotel where CEO Williams was in a modern brown Rolls Royce Phantom. He saw Williams very worried, his eyes rolled in shock because he had been Williams's secretary for almost six years. He knew Williams was a workaholic who showed no emotion in the business world; he worked like a robot.
Williams glanced at him and said in a hoarse voice, track her, find out all the necessary information of who she was is in less than an hour.
At first, Arthur was confused about who Williams was talking about, then he remembered the lady from the morning that Williams asked him to get a dress for.
He went straight to the hotel clerk to ask for information about her; the clerk provided no useful information. The clerk said some people were directed to stay in the hotel after a party that was held by the R&B music world in the hotel.
Arthur headed straight to the bigger building of the company, which was the music section. He met a worker in front of the building by the name of Adams and asked about the audition that was held in the company the previous day.
Adams put him through everything because he knew Arthur was the secretary to the scary billionaire CEO, Williams.
He showed him a record of everyone who applied for the audition. Arthur saw a face that looked like Cyrina in the record.
He knew she was the one he had seen the same face the morning he dropped the dress Williams asked him to get.
He got every necessary information he needed to investigate who she was. He just needed her name to find out who she was.
He got to the hotel where Williams was to tell him that he had already done his search.
Sir, should I get rid of her, Arthur said, Williams replied in a cold voice, let nothing happen to her, not even a strand of her hair. Send all the information about her to me.

When Cyrina got to the apartment she saw Charlotte was already dressed, trying to head out for work.
Charlotte glanced at her after a while, she looked again and complimented the dress she wore.
Cyrina hissed, remembering where the dress was from.
Charlotte wondered why she looked so unhappy and her face was pale, but she didn't want to bother her by asking her.
The Cyrina she knows would have told her if it was something she wanted to share.
She picked up her purse and she said goodbye to Cyrina while she left.
Sigh. She took a breath of relief as she left. She felt weird
Arthur drove Williams to Lumax Corporation, a sub-branch of the company in the state.
He had a meeting with some directors, shareholders, and board members of the company.
While driving, Arthur kept wondering why his boss cared so much about the lady.
He always handled every problem that came his way and never got bothered by anything.
Soon they arrived at the company. Williams went into the meeting room. He was already fifteen minutes late.
Everyone was already seated waiting for Mr. CEO to come.
Soon Williams arrived. He placed his laptop on the desk as he was looking at the issues the company had and thinking about what he should do.
An elderly man, Mr Thompson, narrated the issues, why a foreign company is plagiarising and imitating their brand so much.
He started his own opinion on the new product to be launched by the company and how he felt they should go about it.
Everyone gave their opinion, waiting for Williams to conclude. Meanwhile, he was staring at his laptop stalking Cyrina on her social media.
Everyone wondered why he was so quiet and lost.
As they all kept quiet to hear from him. He was still busy looking at his laptop.
Thompson said out loud, Williams , what do you have to say?
Williams glared at him as he stood up to leave. He said, Arthur, take care of it and get back to me.
He stepped out of the building into the car park. He saw Arthur was already behind him.
He tumbled as he looked towards Williams with a worried look.
It seemed as though he was hesitating to say what he wanted to say.
Williams tried entering his car, and Arthur immediately got into the driver's seat to drive him.
He went to have a drink with his friends, and he met Lucas and Marcus.
They drank and chatted. Marcus talked about his new girl.
Williams looked at him horrifically. Must your talk be of women? You always have a new girl every week.
Lucas, his best friend, teased him, saying he forgot he was allergic to women.
They started drinking as Williams drank a few, not a woman freak, not an alcoholic. Is your life not boring?
Williams gave him a cold, scary look. If Marcus had not known him he would have been scared into a stupor.
He told Lucas, who seemed interested in the beautiful women he met during the weekend. Lucas told him of his too. They both smiled and drank like Williams was not on the same table as them.
Williams remembered Cyrina immediately, his face went blank and pale.
He stood up immediately and headed out of the mall.
Outside the mall, two tall, hefty bodyguards with broad chests stood waiting for him.
Immediately, they saw him coming out with Arthur and they opened the car for him.
