“He’s going to leave without telling me or saying goodbye? How rude” Blessing said, pouted, and then continued focusing on her exam. Alexander drove to the gate where the gatekeeper, who was excited to see him after their last interaction, opened the gate for him, bid him an energetic goodbye, and drove away. He returned to The Sam’s Hotel where he gave one of the valets the car key to go park the car like normal then he waited for the employee to return with the key before going into the hotel. “Good afternoon Tessa” Alexander greeted when he got close to the reception.“Good afternoon Mr. Alexander” Tessa greeted back.“I imagine you had an eventful outing,” she said.Alexander smirked.“Very eventful indeed. Anyway, what about that stuff I told you about?” He asked.“As you said, the packages were delivered within the timeline you gave”“Good to hear. I had it under good authority that I would be getting the packages without any delay but it’s nice to see that it played out the
Once Alexander got into his room, the first thing he did was to check the things he ordered. He first assessed the suit case, seeing just how big it was and that it could contain all the things he had bought.Next he checked all the clothes and from sight alone he could tell that Laura had done a good job and all of them were his perfect measurement. Since he had done everything he wanted to do in the city and had no reason to stay anymore plus his stay in the Sam’s Hotel ends when the next morning comes around, Alexander decided to arrange all his clothes inside the suitcase instead of the wardrobe.The only things he left outside the suitcase was one of the new suits he bought, his second pair of leather shoes, underwear for the night, casual clothes for the night and another he would wear when leaving the hotel in the morning. With everything where they should be, Alexander went into the shower to freshen up then he changed into his casual outfit.Next, he carried the backpack t
A couple of hours passed and Alexander, with his very sensitive ears began to hear the found of music and enjoyment flooding his entire room.He lowered the volume of what he was watching on the television and tried to listen more to make sure it wasn’t his imagination.He groaned.“I guess they’ve started. What time is it anyway?” He asked and then checked the time on his phone.“Fifteen minutes after four o’clock, huh? So this is when they normally do wedding parties” Alexander commented.Growing up as a servant boy, he had never had the privilege of attending a wedding before he he didn’t know when they normally did it.He thought it was going to be earlier in the day but that time didn’t seem that bad either.“I wonder how long it’s going to be for. Can’t go to someone’s wedding party the moment it starts even if I was invited as a guest of the hotel” he said to himself.After some thought, he decided to wait at least another hour before he goes anywhere.A couple of minutes later
“Here you go” the bouncer returned the keycard to its rightful owner. “Thank you” Alexander replied as he kept the keycard in his pocket. He looked at the bouncer who had blocked his path when he first arrived and saw that the man was ashamed about what he did. “If you’ll excuse me,” Alexander said then walked through the group of bouncers, heading for the entrance of the hall, and finally walked in. “Woah” Alexander commented when he saw how beautiful and well decorated the place was. The sight alone let him know that whoever was getting married had put a considerable amount of money into the event which could only mean that they were insanely rich. Just renting the Sam’s Hotel hall was five hundred thousand dollars then the decorations plus the workmanship for the interior designer had to have been somewhere between three hundred and fifty thousand to four hundred thousand dollars. However, all that is chump change for Alexander who was rearing his way into billionaire stat
Once things with the system were ready, Alexander focused on the two ladies.“It’s strange you had something like that on you when coming to a wedding but I guess it was for the best because it’s coming in handy now,” Grave said, sighing in relief.She knew she couldn’t walk long distances or else risk the heel giving out, so she either had to stand still and wait for Alexander to go get the glue and return with it or she’d have to take off her shoe and walk barefoot which would be embarrassing.“So, where is the glue?” Laurel asked, just like Grace thiking that the gorilla glue was on Alexander.“It’s in my room. I’ll just go get it and return quickly.” Alexander said, disappointing both ladies who then thought that that made more sense.He was about to leave but then Laurel interrupted.“I think I should go with you,” she said and Alexander looked at her with a face that asked her why she wanted to do that.She looked at Grace for support and her friend too had the same expression a
“How long do you think your friend is going to take before he returns?” Laurel asked Grace who blushed bashfully.“He’s not my friend” she retortedLaurel rolled her eyes “I know. I know. You want him to be something more but don’t forget that you’re older than him”“I don’t think I’m that older. No matter how old he is, as long as he’s of legal age, being twenty-two myself shouldn’t be a big deal” Grace said defensively.“One day, one week, one month, or even one year, there’s no difference in my eyes. As long as I’m older than the guy, the thought of a relationship forming becomes nonexistent but whatever floats your boat I guess” Laurel said.Grace rolled her eyes and shook her head in disappointment.“Talk like that is why you’re going to end up alone with your cats. As for me, as long as the guy has a mature mindset, I don’t see anything wrong with being in a relationship. Anyway, none of what we’re talking about matters if he isn’t interested in me or he isn’t single” “Whateve
Grace blushed because seeing Alexander on one knee made it look like he was proposing to her while holding the shoe he was about to wear her made her feel like she was Cinderella.“Okay,” Grace replied then took her foot out of the flipflop and wore the shoe.She did the same for the other foot, Laurel helping out so her friend doesn’t fall and everything went back to normal.“What are we going to do about these?” Grace asked, talking about the flipflop.Alexander carried them, stood up, and stretched them to her.“You can have them”“What? I can?” Grace asked “Yeah. Even though I did as good a job as I possibly could, let’s not forget that this is a temporary fix. In case the unfortunate happens, you should have something you can wear instead of walking barefoot which as you’ve already said is very embarrassing” Grace’s eyes widened in surprise.“That’s very nice of you,” Laurel said.“Thank you” Alexander gave her a charming smile.Laurel looked at her friend who seemed frozen the
Because Alexander had packed all his clothes before attending the wedding the day before, there was nothing for him to arrange when he woke up. He had gotten back the clothes he gave the hotel’s laundry department for dry cleaning after returning from the wedding then he arranged them in his suitcase in preparation for today.Lastly, he had taken care of every loose end he had left after returning from the wedding. From contacting Laura on behalf of Gift and setting up a meeting with designer Gustav who was visiting the shop sometime in the week, to sending the money to Victoria for the orphanage. Once at the door with his suitcase and duffle bag of money, wearing the clothes he had set aside for his departure, Alexander took one last look at his room and smiled.“Thanks for being my home for the past few days,” he said then opened the door.To his surprise, he saw Grace standing in front of his room, and looked like she was just about to knock on his door.“Grace?” Alexander said.
