Chapter 24 Fading Romance

They say that a woman's stress reliever, is shopping.
And since I have a whole day to roam around, I decided to drag my assistant everywhere I go. 
The first thing I did is buying a top car. Using the Gold Card that Felix gave, I can roam around and take all I want.
Since I was too stressed from the past few days, I decided to go to the city to release my stress.
Too bad that Felix is so busy, I could have made him my assistant for today and pissed him off if he's not that really engrossed with his work. But luckily, Harry is there to catch up with me.
He almost dropped his jaw when we arrive at the casa where the latest cars are being displayed. Every car worth a couple of millions of dollars.
I can’t help but laugh whenever the salesman mention every single price of the cars that are there. They are the most expensive ones in the world and Harry's face was turning sour and sour as he look at them.
"Young Lady, these cars are life-worth." He whispers as the salesman points another sports car.
I smiled coyly. This guy is quite funny when he speaks.
At the end of the showroom tour, I chose the black Lamborghini Aventador. Harry almost faint as he heard about its price.
I tapped his shoulder as to make him calm.
"Bring back the car that the company gave you. From now on, you will drive that Lambo whenever I want to go around."
His face was pale as he nodded.
I chuckled while looking at him.
The next thing we do is contacting the real estate that is connected with the S&GM Group of Companies.
The obedient Harry, called their top agent and ask to make an urgent appointment.
The agent that the company sent was a middle-aged woman. She looks accommodating but when she saw me, her face becomes stiff. Looking at me from head to toe. Who would be thinking that a person like me who's whose wearing plain clothes can afford to buy a million-dollar property?
She lead us to the most expensive penthouse that their company was offering, as Harry requested. There are three bedrooms, four bathroom and a comfortable size of a kitchen. It also includes in-house jacuzzi that is located near the terrace.
Harry's reaction was the main highlight of the activity. He's face was contorted as the agent spit the prize.
"Miss Siren, sorry if I gonna ask this, but why would you want to buy such a property? Don’t you already own some mansions and residential manors?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Huge houses are beautiful to look at. But when you get to live there, you'll find it empty, cold and scary." I say.
The guy nodded by hearing her words.
The place is still empty but she can see herself living there already.
" We will take this. " The woman looked at me as if she just hear a joke. But when Harry turns for the details, she just shrugged herself off.
Before leaving the place, I instructed Harry to call the interior design department of S&GM to do the works.
-----------
" That was almost fifty million dollars in just merely three hours!" Harry exclaimed as he was driving the new purchased car.
"Don't count too much. You'll get dizzy if you do." I teased him.
I ask him to drive me to the biggest mall in town.
Let's see how far this Gold card can go. I smirked as we walked in.
Clothes, shoes, bags, perfumes and jewelries. In just two hours of roaming inside the mall, I already spent hundreds of millions. When I took a glance at my assistant, he was holding bags left and right.
"I'm hungry, come on let's eat." I wave at him to walk faster.
I turn to the place where the restaurants are located. I spotted a Japanese restaurant on the corner. I walk towards it direction.
I was amazed with the inner sight of the restaurant when we walked in.
The crews are wearing Japanese traditional Kimonos and ost of them are really Japanese people.
"Kon'nichiwa! Oishi shifudoresutoran e yokoso." (Hello! Welcome to Tasty Seafood Restaurant.) The crew bowed their head.
Harry was the one who cooperates with the staff and take the VIP lounge. And with all the stuffs he's carrying, we followed the leading crew.
It was a room with a wooden floor. In the middle is where the wide short-legged table is placed. There are also cushion around the table.
"Go chumon o ukotemawarimasu ka?" (Can I take your order please?) The crew with his pen gave us two pieces of the menu.
Harry was about to open it when I speak.
"Kyo no subete no menyu o oshietekudasai. Soshite besutosera." (Give us all your menu for today. And the best-seller.)The crew look like he hear something insane. His face had its weird expression.
"Yurushi?" (Pardon?)
"But, Miss Siren, it will be a lot." Harry's voice we're sounds like a suppressed whisper. I could say that I'm surprised tht he understands the language.
"What are you waiting for? I'm hungry." I snapped my fingers in his face. I'm not willing to listen in any opinion from anyone today.
This is my first time doing things like this and I won't allow anyone to take a shit on my business.
"Okay, coming right up." The Crew turns his back and leave.
After a while, a group of crews were coming in. Carrying plates and putting it one by one down the table.
The table was filled by different kind of seafood dish. Looking like a feast table.
She took the chopsticks.
"Tabemashou!" (Let's eat!)
---------
After few hours of walking around, Harry received a call from the Interior design team. The penthouse unit was fully furnished within two hours and was now ready to be accommodated.
"I will take a look on it next time." Siren lazily replied.
"Is there any place that Miss Siren want to go to?" The man asked after putting all her shopping bags inside the compartment.
"Drive me to Northern State." She instructed him.
He open the car door for her and let her in. Then he run around to the driver's seat.
It's almost an hour drive and its already seven in the evening.
Honestly, she don't understand what's going on inside her head.
After roaming around the city the whole day, acting like a spoiled brat and wasted money, she still feel something is missing. She could still see things like black and white like the other days.
A flash of Conrad's face came into her mind. And her heart felt like it was being pinched mercilessly.
It's been a long time since the last time  they kissed. And she's missing him so bad. But ever since that weekend vacation at the resort, he was acting so cold. As if there is no Siren existing in his eyes.
She thought it was only because of his busy schedule nowadays that he's not able to mingle around. But seeing him today at the cafe with a another woman...
She saw him smile and his eyes gleaming while looking at her. It was her first time seeing him behaving like that. Like a school boy looking at his crush.
And it was not her. She was not that woman...
