“Uh, there is an empty seat here, Princess. If you don't mind, come take it.” Camila raised an eyebrow at Brianna, her expression unwavering. “Darling, I’ve got one,” Brianna said with a warm grin as she looked at her. Leander's eyes narrowed as he took in Camila’s dismissive words. Her attitude was unbearable. He realized she still saw him as the ordinary person he used to be, back when they were together.

He thought of getting the gift he had bought for Vivian, which was in his car at the park.But then, an idea seeped into his head. He quickly grabbed his phone, sighing softly with determination, before dialing the contact of one of his bodyguards.“Hey! Are you there?” Leander's voice echoed through the phone’s microphone. He waited a moment to get a response from the other end.“Master, I’m listening... How may I help you?” The bodyguard exclaimed, his words energetic.“Hmm,” Leander's breath echoed through the speakers. “I want you to get the box in my car for me. I'm right here in the hall. I'm waiting...” he demanded, his words laced with confidence and authority.“Alright.” As soon as the bodyguard finished speaking, Leander hung up and turned around.

The engine roared to life as he drove out of the park. The convoy of bodyguards followed in a separate vehicle.The airport was about two hours away, but they made it in fifty minutes, thanks to their speed and a shortcut.

Leander's bodyguards settled into their designated quarters. They checked the perimeter of the villa, ensuring everything was secure. Once satisfied, they joined Leander in the main area, where they discussed the plans for the next few days.Leander addressed the leader of his bodyguards, his expression serious. “Have you arranged for the excursion?”“Yes, Master. We have made all necessary preparations for your excursion,” he replied.Before the excursion, Leander arrived at a popular five-star hotel in the capital of Greece, Athens. The hotel is renowned for its exclusive service and customer-first approach. Its top-notch facilities attract tourists, just as they had drawn Leander.As soon as Leander stepped into the hotel, he was greeted by the refreshing breeze of the powerful air conditioning system in the reception area, which was filled with people waiting to check in.While Leander stood, momentarily confused by the long queue ahead of him, his attention was quickly caught by
The following day, Leander decided to explore more parts of the hotel. After a leisurely breakfast, he made his way to the spa facility, curious to experience its offerings.After leaving his room, he headed to the spa area, a calm retreat with soft lighting and a cool ambiance. Leander, looking composed, approached the reception desk, where a friendly staff member welcomed him.Before the receptionist could say anything, Leander said quickly, “I’d like to try out the spas and perhaps get a haircut.”The receptionist smiled and guided him to the spa menu. “Alright, that’s good.
