Chương 22: CHAPTER 21

Alisha Chuma (POV)

ONE WEEK LATER

As I sat in the backseat of the car from the airport, I admired the beautiful scenery of a country that I loved so much.

In a year, I would travel to that country more than six times and stay for at least three to seven days, depending on the schedule.

However, there was one certain thing: the country held a great meaning in my life, for it was in this country that my world was saved.

At a time when I thought I was going to lose, that meant very dear to my heart, my salvation was found there.

And with a week to Easter, another festival that I must attend whether I like it or not, I needed to come and see my favorite person and finish the business that I will never get rid of till the day I perish.

From Shuewana to Danzikani, the country that I just arrived in less than an hour ago, it took me over ten hours to reach there.

The drive from the airport to the five-star Cresta hotel that I would be staying at during the trip was over an hour. So, I sat in a relaxed manner as I enjoyed the scenery outside since it was still daytime.

With some soft music playing on the radio and champagne with some fruits available for me to snack on before arriving, I was in a good mood.

Over an hour later, the stretched limousine that came to pick me up finally stopped in front of the hotel.

As one of the VIPs of the hotel who loved spending lots of money whenever I was in Danzikani, the treatment given to me by the staff was top notch, and I reveled in it.

This particular hotel had been in existence for six years and during those years, I have been staying there as long as I was in Danzikani. And whenever I was coming, there would be a driver to pick me up and a dedicated chambermaid to cater to my needs.

In other words, I didn’t need to take part in any unnecessary queuing, and registering for everything was already done for me.

So, when I arrived, a familiar face that had served me for six years appeared in my periphery.

“Welcome back, Lady Sawyer!” the handsome young man who suited my exquisite taste welcomed me with his signature smile pasted on his face.

Upon seeing the young man who had slowly climbed the ladder throughout the six years, I couldn’t help but get fonder of him.

I still recall that when he first served me, he was just a part-timer and fresh from college. If it wasn’t for his face, I wouldn’t have bothered to talk to him.

But who would have known that the decision I made that day would be the greatest one I made?

Not only did he have a pretty face, but he was also sociable and very good at entertaining others, not in a bad way but a good one.

“It’s good to be back, Neal. How have you been?” I asked as I approached the young man, who stood straight as a pole as he waited for my arrival.

“I have been great and you look prettier than before,” with a flirtatious smile on his face, the kind he knew I loved, he complimented me.

I smiled at him as I stretched my hand, which I was holding my handbag with and with familiar movements; he took it away from me before sidestepping.

“It’s been a month since we saw each other. Aren’t you getting sweeter by the day the more I see you?” I teased him back as I started walking towards the huge doors.

“That’s my opinion. You can’t blame me, after all, you get younger every single time!” he answered back.

Hearing that from him, I didn’t get upset. after all what he was saying was true. How can I retort to something like that?

And listening to him speaking his vernacular language different from mine though I was fluent in it, made me want to do things that I swore to never do.

He was another house mouse that I couldn’t touch and it sort of pissed me off. After all; I found him very attractive and to my taste.

“Fine, fine, fine. This big sister won’t blame you. So, tell me what’s new?” I asked as I headed for the elevator, passing through the lobby as if I owned the place, which was partially true. After all, I knew the owner of the hotel intimately.

With that question thrown at him, I began to listen to juicy gossip as Neal filled me in on things that happened in the one month I hadn’t been in Danzikani.

And he mostly talked about the people that I knew, leaving any unnecessary stories in the mix.

As for my bags, someone was bringing them over, so I didn’t need to worry about anything.

We finally reached the top floor where my penthouse was. It was very spacious and provided a clear view of the city Aston that I was currently in at the moment.

“Everything had been changed to your taste. And if you need anything else, just call me. I am at your service 22/7,” Neal smilingly repeated the words that I had gotten used to hearing.

Turning to face him after a short scrutiny of the penthouse, I nodded at him and answered, “Have the car ready by eight. I will be going to the usual place,” giving him my first instruction of the day.

Neal acknowledged my request before giving me a slight bow and left.

With him gone, I began to think about where to start.

There were still several hours till eight and so much to prepare before that as well.

But first thing first, I needed to freshen up, for the ten-hour flight had truly left me in a tricky situation and I needed to rectify that.

So, moving in a familiar environment, I took my phone and headed to the bathroom where I chose a playlist to listen to before starting soaking myself in the warm water.

Because I was tired, the bath helped a lot and by the time I was done; I felt like a new person.

And with me refreshed, it was officially time for me to start making a move. And what better way to start than contacting someone I was hoping to meet for some time?
