ROmance MYstery, Introduction

 "Mylar! Mylar, I know you can hear me. Open the door."

Mylar's landlady kept banging on her door. She was an old lady but the way she kept hitting the door with so much strength, one would think that she was a youngster.

Mylar yawned and turned around uneasily on her student-size bed. She got up ignoring the noise being caused by her old landlady and went into the bathroom, she slowly picked up her brush and started moving it from right to left inside her mouth. Her toothpaste was finished so she had to brush without it.

She wasn't thinking about the finished toothpaste or her nuisance of a landlady but about how she had been living her life for the past three years after her graduation.

Back when she was in school, she would tell her friends that once she graduated, all her suffering would be over. She will get a job with a famous modeling agency and have some other side businesses of her own. She will become famous and have a fancy car and a large house to herself. She was so certain back then but now looking at the mirror, she wasn't so sure about fulfilling those dreams anymore.

She spit out the white content formed in her mouth into the sink and dropped the brush by the side, her landlady was still banging on the door but she didn't care, all the old woman wanted was for her to pay the rent. And even after working so hard last night, it was a miracle that she came home with four dollars and three cents.

She changed into a simple blue armless top and white pants, she combed her hair, applied the little hair oil left in its container, and packed the hair behind in a knot.

She picked up her only good-looking handbag and house key. She quickly arranged the bed cover properly and went to open the door of her tiny and overcrowded room to go out.

The landlady was sitting right outside, Mylar thought that she must have given up and gone already.

"Where is your rent for the last two months, you promised to pay two weeks ago?" The woman asked immediately after she saw Mylar come out of her room.

"I promise to pay you soon," Mylar said and tried to go away. The landlady came in front of her and the landlady yelled at her in anger.

"When is your soon supposed to be bitch? you work at a club and yet you can't find any man to give you money to pay your rent."

Mylar murmured angrily to herself. The landlady smiled and asked.

"Are you cursing me, you wretch?"

"No, I am not. I will find a way to pay you soon." Mylar said and quickly went away.

She boarded a cab that took her straight to 420 East 61st Street, black glass tower (one Sutton Place North) Manhattan, New York.

A David Brody-designed rental tower. The most sought-after rental residence in the city, a rising 42-story building.

She got out of the cab and walked to the building, the security was right outside.

"Good morning ma'am." He greeted her with a lovely smile on his face and opened the door for her, perhaps he thought she was also one of the rich and famous.

"Good morning." She replied with a smile on her face and went in. This was how she wanted to be, people showing her respect and treating her right and not like a piece of trash. There were security cameras everywhere. She went through the extravagant lobby to one of the elevators and pressed the button to the 41st floor.

Khai Montero was seated on his fluffy sofa in a white robe barely covering his body. He smiled and got up as soon as he saw Mylar, he had left his door open waiting for her arrival.

"You finally agreed to meet me beautiful. Welcome to my abode." He spoke lovingly and greeted her in the usual way but his pecks were much more deep and took longer than usual.

Khai was a car dealer who had more than one thousand staff working under him. His houses spread across different cities in the country. He was one super-rich dude with all the right connections but he had only one problem and that was womanizing.

He met Mylar only four nights before at one of the most exclusive clubs in New York City and invited her over to his house.

She had to think it over severally before she finally agreed to come.

She sat down after being asked to and he also sat next to her with a sexy smile on his face as he asked.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Just water will be fine," Mylar replied to him as she looked around the expensively furnished apartment, she was feeling very nervous but couldn't stop looking around as well.

Khai raised his brows surprised by her reply.

"No, I don't agree with that. I will get you a glass of mulled wine, one of my specialties." He said and then corrected himself.

"The only drink I know how to make. I would have offered you something else but I already gave my staff a day off." After he said this, he went straight to the kitchen to make it.

Mylar took her time to savor the beauty of the place. She wished she could live in such a house, enjoying the most wonderful cinema experience in a clean shiny house without any disturbance from kids and their parents.
