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.
Normally, before permanently moving from one country to another, a car owner would take their car to a moving company that’ll ship it overseas to their new address.However, because of the possession system, all Alexander needed to do was park it somewhere and call for it with the system’s retrieval feature. Once he does that, the car would vanish from wherever he left it and appear anywhere close to him.With that in mind, Alexander drove straight to the airport and parked at the parking lot.He walked into the airport with his luggage in both hands and went to the ticket area to buy a ticket to his new destination. He would have liked to fly first class, but because of how late it was when he was buying the ticket, there wasn’t any first-class ticket left. Fortunately, there was one business class ticket available and without a second thought, he got that.Once purchased, Alexander waited for when his flight was going to be boarding and got in line when it was time.It took a whil
The name of the city in which Wellstone College was located was Bay Central City and it was a very expensive city at that.Alexander’s journey involved two connecting flights before finally making it to Bay Central City in the dead of night.Once landed, all the passengers came out of the plane feeling incredibly tired and jet lagged, except for Alexander whose bodily stats were so high that he did not feel the weight of his flight.While everyone moved sluggishly, Alexander walked as he’s always done, energetically to where his luggage was and waited a couple of minutes for them to come out before picking them up.He rolled his suitcase outside the airport and was immediately surrounded by a bunch of taxi drivers who wanted to take him wherever he wanted to go.“Come this way, sir! I’ll take you to your destination quickly and you won’t even know that the car is moving.” one driver said.“No, sir, choose my service. I can see that everyone from your flight is super tired so I’ll prio
Alexander made it to the Tempest Hotel in quick time, and just like his first time lodging in the Sam’s Hotel, he was given a list of the different tiers the rooms were under. Also, just like Sam’s hotel, he chose the highest tier they had.However, unlike the Sam’s hotel, he was able to pay for his stay with his debit card and once lodged in, he took his luggage to his room by himself.He didn’t do what he did back at the Sam’s Hotel where he was first given a tour by a staff of the hotel to find a room he liked and kept his luggage there before returning to the reception to pay for lodging. He just paid once told the price and without even seeing what the room looked like.The reason for that is that the standard the system had used to find hotels he would stay in was the comfort he experienced at the Sam’s hotel, so he knew for a fact that the rooms in the tier he chose would be great.Besides, he planned on only spending the night so he didn’t have as many criteria as back at the
Close to an hour later, Alexander drove up to the massively intimidating and luxurious black gate that separated the Empress Royal Estate from the rest of the city. He parked in front of it and looked around a little before honking his horn. However, before needing to honk the horn, he heard the personnel part of the gate get unlocked.“That must be the gatekeeper,” Alexander said then turned off his car’s engine.On his face was a smile showing his excitement because after all the receptionist of the Tempest Hotel had told him about the estate, he couldn’t wait to see what the houses in it actually looked like.He thought he was just going to tell the gatekeeper his purpose for being there and the gate was going to be opened for him to go in.To his surprise, however, who he saw come out through the gate wasn’t the gatekeeper like he thought but two security personnel.One of them was an older man with patches of gray hair on his head while the other was a young fellow who looked to
Alexander smirked.“That’s great. So, how do I find them? I don’t know what the inside of the estate looks like and it’s not like Google Maps is going to work inside like that” Alexander said.The older security guard returned the tablet to his partner and said “No problem”“No problem?” Alexander grimaced.“Yes, no problem. The estate’s housing agent actually stays in one of the houses so I’ll just give you her number and you can give her a call. Just tell her what you told me and she’ll come to pick you up here and show you around” the older security guard said as he brought out his phone from his pocket. “Thank you very much,” Alexander said“Don’t worry about it. Just doing my job so if you’re ready, I’m going to call out the number for you”Alexander quickly grabbed his phone from the car’s phone holder and entered the keyboard section of the PHONE app.“I’m ready,” he said.“Okay. So the number is **********” the older security guard said and Alexander typed everything.“Thanks
A couple of minutes of driving later.“This way,” the older security guard said as he pointed in the direction Alexander was to take next.Alexander turned the steering wheel and followed the instructions.“By the way, what is your name? I never got to ask earlier but if we’re going to continue talking to each other, it’s only appropriate that I know” Alexander said.“My name? Well, my name is David Mathew.”“Alright, Mr. David. It’s nice to meet you and thanks for taking the time out of your day to help me with this”“It’s no problem. Just helping out a potential tenant of the estate which is my duty” David said then pointed at a house in the distance.“Over there. Stop in front of that house” David said.After seeing the particular house David was talking about, Alexander nodded then started reducing his speed and getting ready to park.Soon after, he parked in front of the house and asked if it was the right place.“Yes, it is. This is Missus Terrence’s home” David confirmed and Al
