She went up to the counter and made sure that Frederick wasn't back yet. After waiting for a moment, she told herself that he must've been busy and didn't want to hurry him. After looking at the time, Alicia bent down again and left her suitcase at the counter. She was so hungry to the point that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she left for her dinner.
After her stroll, it was soon past 9:30 p.m., and he should be back soon, so she returned to the hotel. She took her suitcase and asked, "Excuse me, sir, is the man in room A808 back yet?" "He just cback! We haven't notified him just yet. Let's give him a surprise! Miss and Mr. Clements seem like a really perfect match..." "Thank you!" She nodded with a smile, and the pace of Alicia's movements couldn't help but speed up.
On the way up in the elevator, she did a quick touch-up of herself in front of the mirror, and then trotted along the way.
At this moment, Frederick received the contract in his room and handed it to a tall, young man with wavy hair who was on the sofa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"President Pierce, I'm sorry for bothering you at this hour. This contract wasn't that important anyways. The main reason I invited you over today was because I've stored a bottle of 1787 Lafite red wine in the hotel. I heard that you have a special affection for Lafite, and I knew you'd admire it..." As he stood straight, the man was obviously a little excited.
"It's from 1787? Was it from President Thomas Jefferson's collection that was auctioned off? I heard that he released it at a price of a hundred and fifty thousand US dollars in 1985? And it's apparently in your hands?" The man, Shelton Pierce, asked.
"That's correct! You're indeed an expert! It was a coincidence that I got it, but I'm not sure whether it's real or fake. You can helpfigure it out later!" He took two wine glasses and placed them on the table. Frederick smiled feebly. It was then that the doorbell rang.
"I'll go take a look!" Frederick thought it was the waiter who cwith the wine, so he opened the door without any hesitation.
When their eyes met, he was utterly surprised. Alicia raised her hand and gave him a smile. "Hubby, I'm here to check up on you!" As soon as she said that, she wanted to enter the room.
With his sudden reflexes, he abruptly cout and closed the door. "Why are you here? Who told you to come?" The sharp tone of his was as if he threw a wet blanket over her. Her expression darkened. It didn't turn out like how she had expected it, especially when she saw him obstructing the door. She was happy and surprised at first, but now, her heart was cold, and her gaze towards him beca little dull.
Right then, a man's voice was heard from the room. "Mr. Clements?" In a snap, an anxious Frederick had pushed her. "Go! Hide in the bathroom! I won't be seeing you yet! Don't cout! Go now!" As soon as he drove her away, Alicia's mind was in a daze, but her intuition told her that something was wrong, so she followed the direction he pointed in and ran towards it.
Frederick turned around and was about to return when he found that the door had been closed. He immediately stood at the door and turned to the other side, blocking the direction of Alicia's departure. Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed that she was no longer to be seen, therefore he was slightly relieved. At this time, the door of the room had opened.
"Mr. Clements, is the wine here yet? Who were you talking to earlier?" Shelton asked. Why did he hear the voice of a woman? In the middle of their conversation, Shelton walked out and patrolled around the corridor. "The waiter. They brought the wrong order!" Subconsciously, Frederick turned his body to the side. His heart started pounding heavily. Looking up, he saw a waiter slowly walking towards him with a bottle of wine in his arms. He quickly raised his hand. "Why were you so slow?" He said.
The waiter immediately ran over with the wine bottle in his hands as Frederick had signaled him with his eyes. He quickly handed it to Shelton and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Here you go!" As he took the wine, his attention was drawn back. He also excitedly said. "It's really antique!" He turned around and entered the room while speaking. Frederick gazed in the direction of where Alicia had disappeared, and he released a sigh of relief.
