Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 7's
When the taxi stopped in front of the main lobby of the Amber Hotel, Raymond got off and opened the door for Lorie. The man then paid the taxi fee and thanked the driver.
Although it is quite late, but hotel guests are still passing in front of the lobby and the inside of the hotel. Some walk alone, others hang out with relatives and their spouses. The security guard greeted politely as Lorie and Raymond stepped in past the scanner.
“What floor is your room?” raymond asked as the two of them stood waiting for the elevator.
“Twelve.”
Raymond was stunned and looked at Lorie with a slightly contrived suspicious expression.
“You're not following me, ‘kan?” ask her while squinting.
Lorie's forehead frowned. “What do you mean?” tanyakanya. He had slightly lost focus since then so did not understand why the man beside him suddenly asked like that.
“What number room?” ask Raymond again without answering Lorie's question first.
Lorie still replied although still a little confused and astonished by Raymond's behavior.
“120.”
“Gosh. This really is a strange coincidence,” muttered Raymond while shaking his head slowly.
“What's up?”
Lorie's question paused as the elevator door opened in front of them. After waiting for the passengers to leave, Lorie and Raymond stepped inside the glass case. There were three people who entered with them into the elevator. Lorie chose to stand in the back corner, while Raymond stood in front of her, near a panel featuring neatly lined figures. Raymond pressed down on the number 12 before turning towards Lorie.
“What's up?” ask Lorie without a sound.
Raymond just smiled mysteriously and blinked his eyes. For a moment Lorie felt lost and lost her mind. He blinked in a daze, then hurriedly lowered his head to cover the crimson hue radiating down his cheeks.
*Damn, Lorie. He's just a snot kid. Stop acting like a teenage girl who is kasmaran*, the woman wrote in her heart.
Unfortunately, the more he dismissed all the absurd thoughts in his cranium, the picture of Raymond smiling and laughing alternately appeared in his mind, keep spinning over and over like an annoying broken DVD.
Ting.
The clanking of the elevator that stopped on the 12th floor scattered Lorie's daydreams. He immediately followed Raymond who had already stepped out. When she reached the intersection to her room, Lorie turned her head and wanted to say a farewell sentence. However, upon seeing Raymond continue to walk next to her, the woman again frowned in surprise.
“Where is your room?” ask because I am curious.
This time Lorie was completely dumbfounded. Where is there such a coincidence ... coincidence?
“You stalked me? Yes, ‘kan? You followed me all the way to the Doges and accidentally bumped into me. Quickly confess!” scowl the woman while looking at Raymond with narrowed eyes. He sat down and waited for an answer from the man in front of him. His misbehaved face looked very funny.
Raymond won't lose. He immediately replied, “*Hey* .. I first stayed here, since two days ago. It means you are following me! Yes, ‘kan? You must have—”
“Honey? You've gone home?”
Lorie and Raymond were both fixated upon hearing a very soft voice that suddenly interrupted their small showdown. From behind Raymond's bedroom door came a very beautiful young brunette. His eyes are round with very long and pliable eyelashes. Her irises were the color of her hair, light brown, definitely not a softlens. The body wrapped in a black evening dress was very dense and sexy. Her chest that poked out from behind the dress looked very plump and tantalizing. Even Lorie who was a woman was very fascinated by the appearance of the woman.
“Where have you been? I've been waiting for you since. Your phone is off?”
That melodious voice once again shocked Lorie and Raymond.
“When did you come? Why not tell me first?” asked Raymond, holding his lover's hand.
“I finished faster and want to give you a surprise.”
“Oh ... um, Alice, this is Lorie, an old friend ... Lorie, this is Alice, my fiance ..”
Alice extended her white and plump fingers towards Lorie. While smiling very gently, he said, “Halo, Lorie .. nice to meet you.”
“Ah. Oh ... hi, Alice, you are indeed as beautiful as Raymond said,” replied Lorie while welcoming Alice's hand.
“Really?” Alice's originally slightly unfriendly face suddenly turned softer. His smile also seemed to be getting wider.
“Yes. Raymond said that his lover was very beautiful. You're very lucky. She loves you so much,” replied Lorie who now understood that the woman in front of her turned out to be quite jealous. Not as he had imagined before.
Alice clutched more and more in Raymond's hand so that half of his chest was stuck to the man's arm. “Why did I just know that you could be that cute, honey?” he muttered while blushing in shame.
Raymond squinted and glanced at Lorie at a glance. Obviously he didn't say that kind of nonsense. The crafty woman really did plunge him, although she had to admit it had a very good impact ....
“Nah, then ... I go in first,” say goodbye Lorie while attaching her access card to the door panel. “See you later.”
“See you,” reply Raymond and Alice together.
As she was about to close the door of her room, Lorie could catch a glimpse of Raymond's hand hugging Alice's waist and into her room. He gulped and locked the door, then stayed there for a few seconds before turning his body and walking towards the bed.
Lorie remained in a daze for a while. For reasons that are unclear, he imagines what Raymond and Alice are doing in the room. Did they hug? Then kiss? And ....
“Enough, Lorie!” jolt the woman while jumping up and walking towards the bathroom.
The shadow of Raymond and Alice struggling on the bed made her chest feel uncomfortable. There is a sense that .. somehow, he himself does not understand what it is.
Ding.
The sound of her phone made Lorie turn her steps back to the side of the bed and take her phone from inside the bag.
Amber:
Aunty, I missed you!
Lorie smiled and sent a reply:
I missed you too, Sweetheart. I want to hug and kiss you!
The woman then went to the bathroom and soaked as originally planned, hoping that thus her wild head contents could subside a little and not continue to think of the occupants of the room right next to her.
