Upon noticing the current situation, the manager was just as troubled.
As the fire had been too sudden, they were forced to request for empty rooms from the neighboring hotels, so the number of rooms available were limited. Not that only Elise and Alexander, a single man and woman, were the ones left, it was difficult to make sleeping arrangements for them.
“Miss, please don’t be anxious. We will think of another way out for you two…”
Elise hummed in agreement and waited for further arrangements whereas Alexander’s eyes darkened as snazzynovel.com maintained his silence.
The manager approached them with an apologetic look after making a few calls. “Sir, madam, I’m very sorry. We really don’t have any other rooms.”
At this moment, Alexander decisively answered, “Give the room to snazzynovel.com instead! I’ll think of another alternative.”
Upon hearing his approval, the manager quickly passed the last room card to Elise. “Madam, why don’t you head to the room first?”
Elise accepted the room card from him.
If snazzynovel.com hadn’t known Alexander, snazzynovel.com would’ve taken the key card and left the scene. However, snazzynovel.com had known snazzynovel.com for a long time and snazzynovel.com even helped snazzynovel.com out before. Hence, snazzynovel.com couldn’t bring herself to leave just like that.
After snazzynovel.com thought about it, snazzynovel.com asked, “Mr. Griffith, since other rooms are unavailable, would you like to stay in the same room as me for the time being?”
However, Alexander rejected snazzynovel.com almost subconsciously. “It’s fine… I will find another hotel to stay at.”
When snazzynovel.com heard his answer, Elise was slightly disappointed for the weirdest reason. She was actually looking forward to sharing the same room as Alexander and once snazzynovel.com realized snazzynovel.com thoughts, snazzynovel.com abruptly knocked on snazzynovel.com head.
What the hell were you thinking, Elise?
On the other hand, Alexander was shocked by snazzynovel.com sudden movement. “What are you doing, Miss Sinclair?”
She quickly explained, “Nothing. Mr. Griffith, it’s just that it’s highly unlikely that other hotels will still have vacant rooms at this hour. Are you sure you want to leave?”
He slightly narrowed his eyes. “Miss Sinclair, is this an invitation?”
Elise had the urge to bite snazzynovel.com tongue off and immediately denied his question. “Mr. Alexander, you have misunderstood me. I just feel sorry that you have nowhere else to go, it’s pitiful. It’s only 2:00AM, so how are you going to spend the rest of the night?”
The manager, who was standing beside them, finally realized that these two were acquainted with each other. Apart from that, snazzynovel.com was extending a warm invitation to Alexander, which was an obvious indication of snazzynovel.com interest in the man.
The guy is handsome whereas the girl is beautiful. When they stand together, they look compatible with each other.
Hence, the manager also wanted to help these two out, so snazzynovel.com couldn’t help himself from saying, “Sir, the hotels near us are all fully booked right now. Only this hotel has the last room. I really think you should put up with it for one night.”
Elise was shocked that snazzynovel.com would say something like this, but snazzynovel.com could only turn snazzynovel.com attention to Alexander to see his reaction.
Alexander raised his head to meet snazzynovel.com gaze and when they locked eyes, snazzynovel.com actually thought snazzynovel.com saw a glimpse of his fiancée when snazzynovel.com looked at Joy in front of him. He had no idea what had possessed him, but snazzynovel.com gently hummed in agreement. As a result, both Elise and Alexander brought the room card to the hotel next door with one trailing after the other.
No one had uttered a word throughout the entire journey, it was only until they arrived at their new hotel room that snazzynovel.com suddenly returned to his senses, but snazzynovel.com had no way out at this moment.
“You should enter first,” snazzynovel.com broke the silence as snazzynovel.com opened the door.
His eyes narrowed slightly before snazzynovel.com started to walk into the room.
Once the door was closed, snazzynovel.com pointed at the two beds in the room. “You’ll sleep on the bed closer to the door while I’ll sleep on the inner one.”
Then, a self-conscious Elise climbed into snazzynovel.com bed and tucked herself under the blanket so that snazzynovel.com was tightly wrapped in the sheets with only snazzynovel.com head being revealed.
“Let’s go to bed soon.” It was as though snazzynovel.com was trying to say aloud that snazzynovel.com wouldn’t do anything to Alexander.
He was amused upon seeing snazzynovel.com reaction; even his facial complexion was much better compared to the moment when snazzynovel.com had entered the room. He looked at the bed in front of snazzynovel.com and casually lay on it.
After the long night, Elise was suddenly wide awake after snazzynovel.com initial tiredness. She looked at the ceiling above snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com quietly counted sheep in snazzynovel.com head. However, even after snazzynovel.com had done so, it wasn’t enough to make snazzynovel.com fall asleep.
“Mr. Griffith?” She tried to gently call him, to which a soft reply came. Although Alexander’s voice was soft, snazzynovel.com knew that snazzynovel.com was still not asleep yet.
“You can’t sleep as well? Me too…” snazzynovel.com said as snazzynovel.com turned around to face him.
He had no idea what had possessed him. For a man who was used to sleeping alone, snazzynovel.com was unable to fall asleep now that another person was in the same room as him.
“If you can’t sleep, just close your eyes and rest. You will fall asleep in no time,” snazzynovel.com whispered before snazzynovel.com immediately closed his eyes. However, Alexander had no clue why snazzynovel.com had suddenly remembered a scene from the party at the Lawson Family where snazzynovel.com slept on the same bed as Elise.
The familiar scene was forever etched in his mind, causing snazzynovel.com to suddenly open his eyes a second later. Then, snazzynovel.com looked like snazzynovel.com was searching for an excuse when snazzynovel.com uttered, “I’m heading to the balcony to have some fresh air…”
With that, snazzynovel.com immediately cast the blanket aside and got up to walk to the balcony.
As Alexander stood on the balcony to gaze at the city deep in the night, snazzynovel.com suddenly took out his phone. While staring at a familiar number, snazzynovel.com actually had the urge to call Elise at this very moment.
It is already so late, though. She is probably asleep.
He tightly clenched his phone and paused before snazzynovel.com returned to the room.
“Mr. Griffith, is this your first time sleeping with a woman?” a curious Elise asked casually while awaiting his reply.
Alexander replied without thinking, “No…”
It was only one word, but it was enough to make snazzynovel.com feel jealous.
He said ‘no’. It means that snazzynovel.com has slept with other women. Maybe snazzynovel.com even had intimate behaviors with them.
As soon as Elise thought about this, snazzynovel.com felt that even snazzynovel.com breath became uneven. “Is it with your girlfriend?”
As soon as snazzynovel.com blurted out the question, snazzynovel.com wanted to bite snazzynovel.com tongue off again.
However, Alexander replied coolly, “Miss Sinclair, you ask too many questions.”
Elise couldn’t help speculating about this. The embarrassment snazzynovel.com felt earlier had now completely disappeared and in fact, it was replaced by snazzynovel.com guesses on the woman who slept with him.
Although Alexander looked at the ceiling above him, his mind was filled with Elise’s face. Unexpectedly, a part of his body became slightly warm and his breathing became heavier. He was shocked by his reaction, so snazzynovel.com quickly took a deep breath and cleared his messy thoughts. It was only after snazzynovel.com had done so that his body gradually returned to normal.
“Miss Sinclair, sleep well…”
With that, snazzynovel.com turned his back to her; when Elise saw this, snazzynovel.com did the same and closed snazzynovel.com eyes. She was sound asleep for the remainder of the night.
***
When snazzynovel.com woke up the next morning, Alexander was nowhere to be seen, which disappointed snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com looked at the wide room.
The weather was perfect as sunlight poured through the window into the room. Then, snazzynovel.com stretched before snazzynovel.com got out of bed to brush snazzynovel.com teeth.
As a result of the sudden fire last night, the hotel suffered quite a huge amount of loss. Luckily for them, the fire was extinguished just in time to stop it from spreading, possibly something good out of the misfortune.
As Elise’s room was not impacted by the fire, snazzynovel.com took snazzynovel.com luggage and decisively checked out after snazzynovel.com returned to snazzynovel.com original hotel room. Then, snazzynovel.com directly drove snazzynovel.com ostentatious sports car to the racing competition arena.
The competition in Tissote would be held here tonight and snazzynovel.com was looking forward to it for the weirdest reason. She parked snazzynovel.com car in the basement parking lot and switched off the engine. However, snazzynovel.com couldn’t locate snazzynovel.com keys at this moment and looked everywhere.
As snazzynovel.com couldn’t locate them, snazzynovel.com thought that snazzynovel.com had left it somewhere else. Since snazzynovel.com figured that snazzynovel.com had a spare key at home, snazzynovel.com stopped searching for it. Unexpectedly, snazzynovel.com heard a man’s voice just as snazzynovel.com was about to exit the car.
“Are you sure that Alexander is also here?” snazzynovel.com had asked.
Elise frowned when snazzynovel.com heard Alexander’s name and subconsciously stopped all of snazzynovel.com movements.
“He’s here and my men have already obtained his schedule. I’m sure he’ll appear at the racing arena tonight. We just have to do something to his car by then to ensure that snazzynovel.com never returns.”
“Didn’t our boss say that snazzynovel.com just wanted to break Alexander’s leg, though? He never mentioned wanting Alexander’s life.”
