Amanda is lost in her work repeating back to making the sketch design that her client wants and will meet her the day after tomorrow. She spent all night to do it all.

Fortunately, Amanda is blessed with an intelligent brain and a high sense of responsibility for her work. She skipped her dinner schedule and breakfast. Even now the clock on the wall was 10 o'clock in the morning.

She began to work eager beaver at 5 pm and now it was 10 o'clock in the morning. 17 hours passed just like that. With wistful eyes in her beautiful face because all night she did not sleep and rest.

"Finally! Please, God. Hopefully yesterday's incident will not reoccur. I’ll going banana if it continues like this," Amanda muttered.

Amanda held the print out of her design, a satisfied smile etched on her tired face.

"I'm sure, they will be very satisfied with the results of my hard work. Ahh ... I’m hungry. I also need to sleep, my face looks like a damned zombie," Amanda spoke to herself.

Amanda fills her growling stomach by ordering food through the application. She ate various of foods that she ordered accompanied by the sound coming from the television.

Yesterday, Nana, her best friend, asked for permission to return to New York because of sudden work. Therefore, now Amanda was alone in the apartment.

After eating, Amanda chose to rest her eyes and body. She will spend all the time to sleep to recharge her energy, so tomorrow she will look refreshed.

Nicole's Kitchen and Restaurant became the place of choice for Amanda to meet with her clients. A young businessman from Italy, invested in a five-star hotel in one of Indonesia's major cities. For this reason, the entrepreneur chose Amanda as the architect for the hotel building.

Ravi Rusic, a hotelier who is now Amanda's client. The man fixed his jacket before stepping into the restaurant.

Those man came earlier than Amanda. Ravi sat relaxed waiting for the arrival of the beautiful architect whom he wanted to meet directly without passing through an intermediary. That is why, Ravi chose to fly directly from Italy to Indonesia only to meet Amanda.

A woman greeted Ravi kindly from the right, "I’m sorry for being late..."

Ravi's eyes spread wildly to all parts of Amanda's body. Those woman wore a maroon red chiffon shirt and a black slim fit skirt with ombre black and maroon red hair unravel.

Amanda noticed the dirty look of the man sitting before her. She immediately cleared her throat to stop the man from staring at her insolently.

"Hmm ... Sorry sir, you heard my greeting, aren’t you?" said Amanda full of sarcasm.

Ravi finished his perverted gaze and now he was acting awkwardly by pretending to fix his suit which had absolutely nothing.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry. I was too impressed to see you in person like this," said Ravi.

Amanda had only a cold expression at this man's words in front of her.

"Before you start everything. You can order something in advance," Ravi made a small talk.

"Thank you. I just want ice green tea," Amanda answered improperly.

"Only a drink? You don't want to order food?" Ravi asked again and Amanda answered by shaking her head.

"No, thanks. I still have to meet other clients, after our discussion over."

Ravi nodded and immediately called the waiter to come closer and order Amanda's request.

Amanda took out the folder that she had brought and handed Ravi the sheets containing the sketch of the building order.

"If you are not satisfied with my design or there are parts deficiency, I can fix it," Ravi looked seriously staring at the sheet he was holding.

This is the third times Ravi has make a teamwork with Amanda. But today is the first time he met directly with the woman who designed his building.

"I am always satisfied with your work, Miss Amanda. Your work is always amazing and never disappointing. I love this!" said Ravi which only responded with a faint smile by Amanda.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ravi. I just did according to your direction," Amanda said modestly.

"I am telling the truth, Miss Amanda. You are indeed a perfect woman, talented and so beautiful also attractive," Ravi's boasting words sounded so disgusting to Amanda's ears.

Amanda began to sip a little Ice Green Tea that had come in front of her, before she said goodbye to Ravi. She was very uncomfortable at lingering near this man.

"Looks like our business is finished. If there any obstacles or things you want to ask about the design, you can contact me or my assistant. I’ll go first," said Amanda while clearing the folders she was brought

"Miss Amanda," called Ravi in a soft voice, inevitably making Amanda turn around with a questioning look.

"Yes, what is up?" Amanda asked.

"Are you free tonight?" Ravi asked back.

"Hm, what is going on, then?" Amanda answered with another question.

"If you are free, come to the hotel where I am staying. I will give anything and whatever you want for us to have fun," Ravi said with a pervert smile on his face.

Amanda groaned at the rubbish sentence that scratched her pride.

"Fucking shit! You think I'm a slut! Please find another woman who wants to be paid with your money. My job is only as a famous architect, not having a distraction as a slut," Amanda blurted out with emotion.

"Come on, Amanda. You don't need to be a hypocrite! Don't be afraid, I can pay a high price. You just have to say how much you want," Ravi said in a mocking tone.

Amanda smiled sarcastically as she splashed her Ice Green Tea right into Ravi's face. The woman sauntered out without any words, leaving Ravi in such an embarrassing condition.

All the visitors there looked at Ravi and Amanda with questionful eyes.

"Damn! You hypocritical bitch!" said Ravi while cleaning his face with a tissue.

Amanda got into her car and hit the steering wheel hard while cursing annoyed. A crazy guy who is so insolent.

She reached into her bag to pick up his smartphone to share the frustration her was feeling with someone. Four times the ringing of the telephone line was not picked up but on the fifth note, someone there picked up the phone.

"Are you busy? Am I bothering you?" Amanda asked Nana.

"Ummh...Yah! No... You’re not... Ergh..."

Amanda wrinkled her forehead when she heard her friend's answer. Sigh sound like someone who was doing a good horse ride.

"What are you doing?" Urged Amanda.

"Shit! Ugh ... I'm in the middle of a mess, Darling ... ugh!" Nana answered.

Amanda massage her forehead and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself so that the rude curse would not come out of her lips.

"Shut Up! Continue your hot sport. Bitchy! You dirty my ears with your moaning, damn Nana!" Amanda turned off her telephone connection when she realized that she had called her best friend at the wrong time.

"Why is my friend so easy to give a place for the man's lollipop. My God! When will Nana stop playing," Amanda muttered.

After taking a short break at her apartment, Amanda chose to fulfill an invitation from one of her clients at a famous nightclub in the capital.

It has been almost 2 months that Amanda has not spent her time there because of  her busy work.

When her long legs wrapped in red high heels stepped into the club and her body was wrapped in a black sleeveless black dress that was enough to highlighting some parts of her body making her look so sexy. The eyes of men looked at her with a wild gazed.

Amanda ignored the stares of the perverted men there as usual. She continued to walk toward the bartender's desk and chose to greet the graceful man she had not seen for a long time.

"Wow! My fierce sexy princess finally reappeared after disappearing for several months," shrieked the beautiful man who gracefully approached Amanda and hugged her tightly.

"Tsk! You're always overreacting, Louis." Amanda grumbled as their arms were released.

"Louisa ... Call me Louisa, Amanda! Don't make me mad at you." Those beautiful man sulking

Amanda laughs soundly, Louis's behavior, the club manager always makes the burden a little less. He hated it when he was called by his male name, he preferred to be called Louisa. Disgusting.

"Alright, Louisa!" said Amanda finally making him smile sweetly.

"Where have you been, my barren woman? You haven't been here in a long time. I miss you.”

"I have a lot of to do. I didn't even have time to spend my leisure having fun here. But, I miss you too," Amanda said.

Amanda and Louisa were having a pretty good conversation that make the woman didn't realize that there were a pair of cold sharp eyes watching her from a distance.

"Perfect!" someone muttered smiling while sipping the wine in his grasp.
