CHAPTER 278

She did not know how she was going to go about Li Jing’s case. Although Yin Lifen knew she had a point that the young man could be busy, needless, she wanted something more for her friend.

She had not really had the best in life and she wished that Li Jing would from here henceforth enjoy all that she needs to enjoy be it money, rich life and a lovely romance.

"There, I have done that," Li Jing said and dropped her phone on the bed close to her.

"What did you tell him?"

"Well, I asked if he would love to go on a vacation with me."

"Okay. Let us wait and see his reply. I bet you that he would jump at the opportunity to spend some quality time with you."

"I guess. Anyways, fingers crossed."

It wasn’t even up to minutes when they stopped talking about him that her phone buzzed and his message came in. Instinctively, Li Jing turned her head to the side before picking her phone up and checking the text message.

"Hey dear, I am sorry I would not be able to make it. I travelled for a survey with respect to the hotel and some other business work that needs my input on our new production and stuff. I won’t be back till the last day of the month. I am sorry. Some other time okay."

The message came in twice and the second message read, "I miss you."

"What, why are you looking down?" Yin Lifen asked. "What is wrong with you, tell me?"

A faint smile appeared on Li Jing’s lips and she laughed a bit. This had in turn affected Yin Lifen who thought that she got a positive response from her lover.

"Come on, do not hold in the good news and tell me what he said."

Her smile instantly faded and her face returned to normal as she looked at her friend with a colourless face. "He cannot make it."

"Oh no! Li Jing..." Yin Lifen did not know what else to utter to her friend to soothe her aching heart. She knew she was the person who had done this and orchestrated the whole asking issue.

If only she had known, she would not have allowed Li Jing to call or text him.

"Do not worry. He wishes he can here but business calls.... He travelled for business and would not make it back till the end of the month."

"That sure is sad," Yin Lifen chipped in and rubbed the back off her friend’s palm, comfortingly.

’I am fine."

"I know."

By the next day, both ladies got ready and took their flight to their destination. Immediately their plane landed, a private car was waiting for them at the airport and took them straight to the hotel where they would lodge for four days.

"Good noon ma’am. Welcome to Westville hotel." The lady at the reception greeted them immediately they walked up to where she was.

"Good noon. Thank you. Please we have a reservation here."

"Okay, ma. Please give me a minute let me check you in. Your names please." A pleasant smile appeared on the lady’s face as she spoke.

"Yes. My name is Li Jing and she is Yin Lifen."

"Okay. Just a minute ma. I would have your room keys ready in no time." Follow current s on novelenglish.net . (f)ire

"Sure," Li Jing responded calmly, mirroring the smile the young lady gave her.

’Great, one step on. Nice reception.’ Li Jing noted in her mind.

"And done. Here you are, Miss Li Jing and Miss Yin Lifen, booked for her private suite. Here are your keys ma."

"Keys? I thought we booked your two bedrooms and a parlour suite?" Li Jing asked.

"Yes, you did ma."

"So why are you calling keys and giving me two key cards?"

"Well, there are two keys to the room considering you two are going to be staying there."

"Oh, alright. I think I get it. I just did not expect that."

"It is alright. Happy to be of service. You do not need to stress yourself, your luggage would be brought to your rooms."

"Alright, I can go with that. Thank you."

"Welcome, ma. I hope you enjoy your stay here."

"We would try and make the best of our time here. Thank you so very much." This time around, it was Yin Lifen who spoke and picked up one of the key cards while waiting for Li Jing to do the same.

They smile brightly at the lady and then took to the elevator.

This was it. It was official, their vacation had only just begun.

In the same vein, Kim Fan arrived about an hour after she arrived at the hotel and went straight to the lobby with his own plus one.

Instantly, they were received at the lobby and given the key to their respective rooms.

Unlike Li Jing and Yin Lifen who choose to stay together, the guys wanted their space so as to freely do their things without disturbing the other.

"Hey man, I hope it is all that this hotel is worth?" The other guy whispered to Kim Fan when they got to the elevator.

"Sure. Based on the advert of the place, it looks good and judging from people’s review, I bet we would have a swell time here."

"Okay! If you say so. Perhaps I may just be able to get over her here," The other guy whispered to his friend again as they walked into the elevator and waited for the door to close.

"Perhaps. You may even find a new catch," Kim Fan advised.

"Hmm, not looking forward to, bro." The pother young man said, absentmindedly. He was tired yes and just had his heart broken.

So just like Yin Lifen, he too saw this as an opportunity to relax his mind.

"So you said and it has just been barely two weeks, you already are in love with someone who is not your betrothed."
