With a slightly surprised look, she sipped from her ice water and beckoned her companion with an amused expression with her left hand.
"I am sure there will be a pillow and a blanket for you on that double bed, however, that will not be necessary under certain, understandable conditions."
She took slow steps towards him and surveyed the sofa bed on which her companion had decided to spend the night.
"Of course you may sleep here if you insist, I appreciate the gentlemanly gesture, but as our driver you should sleep comfortable this night. I do not underestimate the risk of microsleep - and neither should you."
As is usual with her, she paused mysteriously for long seconds before continuing, gesturing with her free hand in an elegant gesture towards the double bed.
"I consider you to be a man who has no trouble showing good, tactful manners. If you can demonstrate them under impromptu conditions, as you are now, you can sleep on any half of the bed - next to me. I realise that this somewhat contradicts the principles of decorum, but I should have asked for separate beds or rooms earlier and there is no reason for you to feel discomfort about it. That is my offer and my conditions."
She spoke her words without any hint of shame or embarrassment on her face. She slowly slung her free hand along her body and took a sip from her glass of water as she waited for his reply.
