LOVE AND SACRIFICE (Love And Sacrifice)
CHAPTER 32

Kaylee stared at the star-studded night sky, sitting alone in the pool chair holding a wine glass in her hand. A quiet atmosphere enveloped him.

"Huh!".

Kaylee breathed out.

"It feels so calm here. I love this place" he said slowly, bowing his face as he twirled his finger across the glass of wine on his thighs.

"I have to endure. Be here in twelve days. The end of my cooperation with Mr. Flint is still a long time" Kaylee lamented in a soft, uninspired voice. The girl raised the wine glass, wanting to gulp it down. But suddenly someone pulled the glass from his hand.

"You're still so desperate to drink wine, do you want that night to happen to you again, Kaylaa", the baritone's voice startled Kaylee.

Kaylee turned her face. The two Netra Flint looked at him with a difficult to decipher gaze.

"Why are you here? Are you luring me to follow you?", ketus Flint.

I heard Kaylee's breath. "Who told you to follow me. My job is done, so I go", Kaylee replied, giving an excuse. "You yourself why follow me leaving your lovers and friends behind?", asked Kaylee glanced at Flint who was now sitting next to her.

"Do you like being here?", asked Flint regardless of Kaylee's previous questions.

Kaylee nodded her head. A smile filled his lips. "Yes. All this time I knew the beauty of the Maldives island through the internet. I've never been here. The fear of getting on a plane prevented me from exploring beautiful places around the world" Kaylee replied softly in Flint's ears.

Flint smiled at the girl's reason. "Didn't your profession as an entertainment require you to fly more often to various places?"

"If there's another option, I'd prefer the other one" Kaylee replied with a glance at Flint.

Flint smiled hearing that.

"Ckck is too much. You offered me because you knew I couldn't be here anymore. Eighteen hours of flight, plus one more hour of driving, made my head dizzy. I had a prolonged jetlag", Kaylee's great-grandson with both beads widened while thrusting her shoulders into Flint's shoulders.

Flint laughed at Kaylee's behavior. Honestly, he rarely enjoys days like this, talking while laughing. His life had been too stiff and boring. Since adolescence he has been in the form of business, running a business that was pioneered by his grandfather and both parents.

At a very young age, Flint led the company that Gladwyn's grandfather had left him.

"Hospitality business is not really my field. I prefer to take care of other business. But since a few years ago I decided to continue my father's dream to have a hospitality network as well. So Thomas and I worked together, because my friend was more experienced in hospitality. Be this hotel. I deliberately used my father's name for three hotels that had been established because he had dreams in this field" said Flint recalled his father Myron who became Flint's mentor in the business world.

Kaylee listened to Flint's story seriously. "Your hotel is very beautiful, I'm sure there must be a lot of people staying here. Father sir, it must be nice to see it" said Kaylee.

"Five years ago my father passed away, following my mother who had left a year earlier. After the departure of my parents, I only had my brother Andrew" Flint said. He stared at Kaylee who looked ordinary.

"Andrew's? Is he your sister? Where is he now, didn't Andrew come here?", asked Kaylee to change her seat to see Flint smoothing a sharp bead on Kaylee. Kaylee was unaware.

Flint breathes as much air as possible. "It's not time you knew everything Kaylaa Morgan! I lost Andrew because of you. What kind of woman you are, you look innocent but you betrayed my sister until she had an accident. Even hearing Andrew's name, it doesn't make your heart shake at all. You really have no feelings!", her inner self.

Flint moved from his seat.

"We'd better get inside, the air's getting colder out here" Flint said without seeing Kaylaa.

"Yes", Kaylee replied following Flint's footsteps into the elevator.
