The drive to the hotel was quite a long one. It took almost an hour to get there.
Katherine squinted at the hotel signboard, then glanced over the surrounding. It is a nice hotel indeed. She could see the beach not far from here, it was still jam-packet with tourists at this time of the day.
Naturally, someone helped with her luggage as she got off the car.
Peter booked a suite for her, with windows where she could overlook the beach.
Katherine took a walk around the room, and then opened the window to let the breeze in. She tried to empty her mind, of how indifferent Marshall was on the plane.
They would probably never come across each other again, thinking this much would only distress herself.
Someone came knocking at the door a few minutes later.
It was the hotel manager, who came to invite Katherine to the bonfire party tonight.
“Bonfire Party?” Katherine frowned.
“Right,” the manager replied with a smile, “It’s a tradition here at our hotel, and every guest is welcomed to the party.”
Katherine thought about it for a sec, and then nodded. “I’ll be there.”
The manager carried a present box in his hands. “You’re our premium guest, and we have a special gift for you. We carefully choose each present to make sure that no gift is the same with another.”
Katherine took the box after giving it few glances.
The Grant Group was prominent in various sectors, a marriage lasting no longer than a year would surely had a bad impact on company image.
She felt much more comfortable now. When the food was served, she sat cross-legged on the bed and devoured the meal as the wind breeze brushed through her hair. She lost her appetite back on the plane when she saw Marshall’s poker-face. The coke was the only thing she had ever had on the plane.
She lied down after the meal and did not wake up until the dusk. And it was the pandemonium outside that woke her.
Katherine crawled up and checked through the window. Beneath her, the hotel was filled with people, all of them heading towards the beach. Seemed like the bonfire party was about to begin. The party should be fun with so many guests living in this hotel. Hurriedly, she got to her feet and washed her face to freshen herself.
She’s going to have a revelry, to hell with divorce, to hell with Marshall Grant. Get out of her way! All of them!
She wore some light make up this time. Matching with the dress, she looked innocent, innocent in a way that sparks sinful thoughts. Then she braided her hair in two strands and let then tumble down over her shoulders. Well, appearance-wise, she could not be any more perfect.
