Viktor took his own sweet time showering, and after coming out, he took out the scarf Umilia gave him and smelled it, enjoying her smell that was still lingering on it.
One part of his mind was telling him that he shouldn't use this scarf and instead keep it safely so that it wouldn't suffer any wear and tear. But the other part of his mind was saying that he should use it whenever needed so that it could remind him of her whenever he had it wound across his neck.
But now, since he was not exactly in a cold place and was going to the beach, he felt that he could use this if he was going somewhere cold.
Still holding the scarf in his hand and being away from her, he realized that he was already starting to miss her even though it has been just a few days since he met her.
Rarely did he ever feel this kind of feeling, and he knew how things usually developed whenever he felt this sort of feeling. Still, he felt that he should sort it all out in his mind while refreshing his mind in this place.
He put on a simple grey vest before coming out and saw that the two women were still inside and decided to check out his phone in the meanwhile. He browsed through Umilia's erotic pics he had taken yesterday and couldn't help but feel that she was indeed built like a succubus who could steal the souls of men just by looking at her figure.
He then suddenly felt the urge to hear her voice, especially when he was already on his phone.
He had never used a phone to talk to people before, especially when he was staying away. So he decided to call Umilia for the first time and see how it feels like to talk to someone who was thousands of miles away.
Her phone rang a few times before Viktor heard the sound of her answering the call, and a sweet voice sounded out from the other side, "Hello...Master, is that you?"
Viktor felt a kind of strange yet happy feeling to hear her voice despite being separated by a long distance. Her voice sounded exactly as if he was standing before her.
He could also sense the excitement in her tone as she spoke.
"Master? Are you still there? Or are you unable to hear my voice?" Umilia's brows pulled together when she didn't hear any response from Viktor and looked at her phone's screen to see if the call was still connected.
Viktor chuckled as he walked out onto the balcony and said, "Yes. I was just enjoying your sweet voice. It sounds as beautiful as a nightingale."
"Master...please…" Umilia suddenly rushed into her room like an abashed teenager since she didn't want anyone else seeing her embarrassed look.
Still, inwardly she couldn't stop beaming hearing his sweet words. After all, which woman could resist a pleasant compliment like that.
She was also feeling elated that Viktor gave her a surprise call, and it really seemed as if he wanted to hear her voice.
But still, she asked, "Master...Is there something in your mind? Maybe...you can tell me, and I will try my best to help you."
Viktor raised his brows, realizing how perceptive Umilia was despite him revealing nothing. Umilia only had a gut feeling that something was up with Viktor after getting his call and feeling some subtle feelings hidden within his words.
"Well, even if there was, for now, it's something I should deal with on my own. Don't worry. When it's time, I will tell you," Viktor said in a reassuring tone.
Umilia softly smiled as she said, "Of course. I know Master is good at handling many difficult things on your own and that there probably might be nothing in this world that can faze you. But still...no matter how simple or important matter it is, Umi will be happy to always be there to support Master with anything you need."
Viktor's eyes became glazed as he said in a mild tone, "I know. That is why you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever known."
Umilia leaned her back against the wall as she felt her heart flutter, making her smile in a silly way like a love-struck maiden.
She then parted her lips, wanting to say something," I…" But then she sealed her lips again, thinking that maybe it was a bad idea.
Viktor clearly noticed how she was about to say something and asked, "What is it, my Big Umi? Say whatever you want. I won't bite."
"No...it's nothing…" Umilia said in a timid voice as she played with the ends of her clothes, feeling flustered.
"Then the more I want to know...As your Master, I order you," Viktor said in a playful tone making Umilia let out a soft chuckle.
She then overcame her hesitation and said in a low voice, "I...just wish I was there with you, Master…" Even if it had been just a couple of hours since Viktor left, Umilia was feeling a sense of emptiness, knowing that he wouldn't be back for a few days.
"Oh, why?"
"N-Nothing really...I just want to serve you since you don't know anyone there. I speak Ishian as well. So in case, you were having trouble getting around...you know…" Umilia found it hard to keep on speaking since she couldn't come up with a better excuse, especially knowing that even if Viktor didn't know the local language, he could just hire a translator or use his phone as a translation device.
But obviously, she did not want to tell her real intention. Still, Viktor caught on to her easily but decided not to expose her and said, "Oh, don't worry. I speak Ishian. Heck, even Brad knows something here and there, haha. Anyways, I do miss you, my Big Umi. So, I am easing my heart by looking at some beautiful and hot pics I captured yesterday night."
She turned over in nervousness as her arm leaned against the wall near the door, "Master! Please, don't. I-It's embarrassing…" Umilia said in a sheepish tone as her fingers fidgeted with each other, feeling that she might die from shame, imagining Viktor going through all her erotic pics.
"Master….please don't look at it in public. Someone else might see them," Umilia said as she bit her lip, not daring to imagine if someone peeks at Viktor's phone while he uses it.
Viktor chuckled, "Don't worry, Umi. I wouldn't want anyone else getting charmed by you, nor is anyone capable of taking this phone away from me."
Umilia abashedly smiled while her face was already red from all the constant blushing, making her face as beautiful as a rose in full bloom.
*CLICK!*
But suddenly, Umilia's angelic smile stiffened when she saw the door of her room suddenly open, realizing that she was too distracted to lock it before.
And seeing who it was, her expression froze as if she was caught in the middle of a grave act by this person.
