I woke up to faint voices talking. My head hurt a bit as well as my body. I slowly opened my eyes and the white ceiling greeted me.
Where am I?
This is not my room.
I looked around the room until I focused on the group of people who were talking to the doctor.
Why am I in the hospital? What's going on? Why am I here?
Mommy glanced at me, she told my brother and the doctor that I was awake.
She quickly came to me with a worried look on her face. She held my hand and gently squeezed it. Tears slowly fell down mommy's cheeks.
"What a child you are! We are so worried about what to happened to you."She said while sobbing.
"What happened to me mommy? " she looked at me with disbelief.
"You don't remember? " my head suddenly throbbed.
I was riding Easton's motorcycle while the green light was still on in the lane we were passing when a black van suddenly met us while the red light was still in their lane.
And that's when the van and Easton's motorcycle almost collided. Luckily, Easton was able to avoid it. But I still fell behind him because the rear wheel of the motorbike was still hit.
"Where is Easton? " I asked them.
"Why are you with Easton, Red?"Daddy asked me back.
"I'm asking you where Easton is. Don't answer my question with a single question. I'm asking where's Easton? " My brother has also come closer to my bed.
"The doctor has sent Easton Torres home, his condition is not serious. He suffered only minor wounds and scratches, " Big Brother answered.
Thank God, his condition is good and okay.
"It's a good thing he immediately rushed you to the hospital. You lost consciousness, it's a good thing you were wearing a helmet so there's nothing wrong with your head apart from a small wound and scratches on your body. " Fortunately, we did not suffer any major injuries.
"Tomorrow you can go home. " my brother added.
"By the way, daddy's question earlier was why were you and Easton together at that time?"
I pursed my lips at my brother's question.
"Yes, son. Why are you and Easton Torres together? Is there anything between you? "Mommy asked curiously.
"That's why you sent Leo back to the office because Easton Torres is secretly seeing you" My brother is still fueled by their series of questions.
I couldn't stop rolling my eyes and sighing.
"What are you, guys? We met by accident in a cafe. Of course, I often meet him at parties, so we can't stop talking about business. He also offered to take me home and we both had an accident. " I told them so they wouldn't bother me with questions.
I never mentioned to them that I had known Easton for a long time. Then how did I meet him? You know that this is a big scandal in the family. And if grandpa finds out that Easton Torres and I have a relationship, he might reject me and not recognize me as a member of the family.
The Torres family and our family have been competing for a long time. The Torres are also known for being a monopoly in the business world. Especially Easton Torres Jr. He is known to be ruthless and merciless towards those who compete in his business. But, my family's company was the only one he didn't drag down. That's why we are still ahead of them.
Mommy, daddy and brother go home first. The only one left with me here is Danny. The bodyguards hired by my brother to watch over me have already arrived. Tight security will happen to me every day until the tournament is over.
I could hear Danny snoring loudly as he lay on the couch. The whole room was dimmed with lights but the moon was peeking through the window.
I cannot sleep, I can't find any comfort in myself just sleeping. Until I remembered what Easton and I had talked about before we had an accident.
"Fling?" I asked in disbelief, "Is your brain still okay, Easton?" I added.
"It's still okay, it's still working fine."He said casually.
I snort,
"What's wrong with that brain of yours that makes you want to be your fling?" a mischievous smile drawn to his lips. He leaned forward closer to me.
"Don't worry, we can get benefits from each other. Like having sex, I know you also seek the temptation and call of the flesh, Red. A virgin like you when she tasted it for the first time, she couldn't stop herself from looking for it." I pushed his face away from me.
"I didn't ever think that your mouth was rude either. " I scoffed,
"What made you think that I am also like those people? Because I was a virgin who tasted sex with you for the first time, doesn't mean I am looking for it? Damn it, Easton! I'm not like them, I do not even crave that gaddamn sex after that night. " I leaned forward to him.
"Why, Easton, are you longing for my body? You want me every time you see me?" I smirked at him.
He couldn't speak. I saw the movement of his Adam's apple.
I'm really going to be the one to turn this conversation around, huh?!
C'mon Easton Torres the Third, I'm not like other girls that you f*cked that will chase you and search for your body.
"There is a saying that once you have sex with a virgin woman, the man himself will chase and crave for it. " I said, with a playful smile on my lips.
The hospital released me early, the bodyguards followed me and Danny with me carrying my things.
"The bodyguards your brother hired are hot, Red. I haven't even had breakfast yet. Look at that. Just seeing those biceps, my eyes are full right away." Danny said flirtly next to me.
"Get over it, Danny. Early in the morning, that's what immediately comes to your mind." He pouted his lips.
"As for you, Red. You are really hard to please. You know that's my happy pill sometimes. I winced.
"Tsk, let go of those bodyguards, Danny. You won't be able to get paid this month. " I threatened him.
"Kill joy indeed. " He whispered.
"I heard that, Danny. "
We arrived at the office around eight o'clock because Danny couldn't stop drooling at my bodyguards. So we stopped by a restaurant to have breakfast before coming here.
"I hope you're satisfied with your breakfast, so don't stop looking at the bodyguards. You and your dog Caren look alike when you stare at the bodyguards."He frowned.
" You're mean to me, Red. It's like I'm not your friend." I rolled my eyes.
"Whatsoever, Danny. "
We took the elevator up to the floor where my brother's office is. When we were on the right floor, the employees greeted us. I smiled as a response to their greetings.
Danny knocked on the office door before we entered. We found him with a lot of paperwork on his desk. He took off his glasses when we were in front of him.
"Good morning, brother. " I greeted him.
"Good morning, my little sister, " he responded.
"Good morning, Boss. " Danny greeted him.
"Good morning too, Danny. " my brother smiled at him.
"Danny, have you fixed Red's schedule? " Danny immediately placed the planner on his desk.
"I already fixed it, Boss. "My brother took the planner on the table and read it.
"You only have a few days of training, Red. Because the tournament will have an opening ceremony next week. So let's be even more careful because they will not stop sending you death threats to whoever they are. "
My life is in danger now. I might not have realized that I was already planning to kill him because I won consecutive races.
It's not my fault if I lose to them, they will actually do things to hurt others just to lose and get what they want. Right now we don't know who is behind those sending the death threats.
After we talked with Danny and my brother about my schedule, I left his office first. I headed to the employee's pantry to make coffee. I have met employees who stop walking or talking just to greet me.
I made coffee while toasting a slice of bread in their mini oven. Suddenly, someone called me.
I turned to see who it was. It was Justine. He took a big step closer to me and hugged me tightly.
"I am so worried about what happened to you yesterday. It's good that you are doing well now. "He loosened his hug from me and stared at my face.
"Good thing you didn't scratch your face in the accident. " I chuckled.
"I was wearing a helmet at that time. Then my injuries are not serious. It's just a small wound and scar. " He held both of my arms while stroking his thumbs.
"Even so, you were still injured in the accident. " I smiled at him.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. " I assured him.
Out of nowhere, he suddenly kissed my forehead. I was stunned for a moment and stared at him dumbfounded. My heart was also pounding hard because of what he did.
I saw the reddening of his cheeks while smiling at me.
What is that for?
That's the only question I ask myself.
