Chapter 361 – God The Savior
After working for a whole day, the UAL students returned to the hotel looking very tired. More than six hours outside made the students sit carelessly in the garden next to the restaurant, enjoying the breeze to recharge before going up to their respective rooms.
When they were done and were getting ready to go up to their respective rooms, suddenly the hotel manager came over and asked them to attend a barbeque held by the hotel for UAL students.
"Is this serious?"
"You're not joking, are you?"
"If this is just a joke, then we will be angry."
"That's right. We are very tired today and need rest. So don't give us false hope."
The students who were closest to the hotel manager immediately reacted and confirmed whether the invitation they received was correct.
"We can't possibly lie to you. This event was made as a form of our apology because this morning you all couldn't enjoy breakfast comfortably since there were special guests who came to this hotel. That's why the hotel management intend to hold a barbecue party for all of you in a venue that we have prepared," said the hotel manager with a smile, trying to explain the reason why the hotel had prepared such an event for them.
Gabriella, who stood with her hands on her hips, immediately sparkled. She then ran to the hotel manager past her friends who were in front.
"What time is it?" Gabriella asked excitedly.
"8 o'clock."
"8 pm! Yes, we still have time to soak first. Come on, guys, let's go up. Let's go to the jacuzzi before we go to the barbeque party." Gabriella screamed loudly calling her girls to immediately go upstairs to soak in the warm water pool.
The four members of Gabriella's gang rushed to follow Gabriella, who was already in the elevator, leaving the manager and her friends. Seeing Gabriella's behavior, the other students could only shake their heads without saying anything. But it was different with Linda. She sneered at Gabriella and her friends for being rude to the manager. Finally, Anne turned to her and immediately made Linda shut her mouth tightly.
"Come on up, I'm tired too. I want to straighten my back, Linda," said Anne softly while massaging her sore shoulder.
"I also want to take care of my face. It feels like my face is very dirty right now," said Linda spontaneously while wiping her face with a facial tissue as she followed Anne's steps into the hotel to the elevator.
The other students also entered the hotel one by one. Working all day on the streets had indeed exhausted them. Therefore, when they heard they were going to get a gift of a barbeque party, they were very excited. Not long after, all the students had entered the hotel. Several men dressed all in black came out from behind the wall. The men seemed to pat the hotel manager's shoulder with a big smiling face, one of the men was seen talking to someone on the phone seriously.
"Okay sir, everything is according to plan. Then we will do it according to the instructions you gave earlier," said the man in black, who was Nicholas's subordinate, politely.
"Good. Remember not to make mistakes or the young master will be angry," answered Nicholas on the other end of the phone in a deep voice, responding to the report from the man dressed in black.
The man dressed in all black slowly nodded his head. Before long, he hung up the phone and gave the code to his friends to immediately leave the hotel to carry out their next plan. They only have a little time to complete all the tasks given by the master.
Anne, who had just arrived in the room, immediately stood on the balcony looking outside the hotel, gazing at the incredibly beautiful view.
"Didn't you tell me that you wanted to rest, Anne? Why are you standing outside like that?" said Linda carefully so that the mask she had just put on her face would not be ruined.
"I don't know, I suddenly feel bad, Linda. I feel nervous and I don't know why I feel like this," answered Anne honestly. Since arriving at the hotel, for some reason, she felt very uncomfortable. It was an indescribable feeling she had never felt before.
Linda, who had just put on the sheet mask and walked over to Anne, who was still on the balcony, slowly moved her hand to Anne's shoulder. "It's just your feeling. You better take a shower and clean yourself up. After you're clean, I'm sure all the discomfort will go away, Anne."
"Yes, I want to take a shower, but I'm curious about that building, Linda. From the first time I entered this hotel, I was very captivated by the beauty of the building, what kind of building is that?" asked Anne slowly, pointing to a very beautiful building opposite the hotel.
Linda turned to follow the direction of Anne's hand. "Oh, that's a Roman Catholic church, Anne. It's a beautiful church. The others and I were walking past the church yesterday."
"A church? Is it an old building?" asked Anne again.
"According to the information on the board in front of the church, the church was first built in 987 as a castle chapel for the Count of Luxembourg. But it was restored again in … hmm what year was it? I forget, but the present building is from the first restoration," Linda answered again while holding her cheek so that the mask that was attached to her face didn't move. "Ah don't talk to me anymore, my mask is ruined. If you're curious, go and take a look for yourself."
"Can it still be visited in the afternoon like this, Linda?" cried Anne excitedly.
Linda, who had walked into the bed, just raised her hand up in response to Anne's words. She didn't want to talk anymore because she was afraid her face mask would be ruined. Seeing Linda's answer, Anne soon entered the room. She then grabbed her cell phone on the nightstand and rushed to the bathroom. Anne wanted to find out about the church in the bathroom before going to visit it. Anne had not been going to church for a long time, that was why she didn't want to waste this opportunity. Linda, who was already sitting on the bed while massaging her face, shook her head at Anne's behavior.
Saint Michael's Church, the original one was built on the spot in 987 as the castle chapel for the Count of Luxembourg. However, over the following centuries, it was demolished, rebuilt, and renovated several times. Its current appearance dates from 1688, and united Romanesque and Baroque architectural styles, before the national Moselle Baroque style. The building has been restored since then, retaining its original form. It was last renovated in the 1960s, 1980s, and 2003–2004, wow what historical building! Okay, I'm going there, I'd better not stay in the bathroom for long because the sun will soon set," said Anne quietly to herself after reading an article about the church she had just seen on the balcony.
Usually, Anne would take a long bath, but this time she showered quickly. Without doing any of the rituals she used to do in the bathroom, Anne just showered normally. After brushing her teeth, Anne immediately grabbed the towel behind her and immediately got out of the bathroom. Without a word, Anne wore her clothes. This time she chose a comfortable outfit, a pair of jeans, a t-shirt combined with a black leather jacket, and as usual, without any make-up on her face. She just let her hair flow beautifully on her back.
"Wear some lipstick, Anne. Your face is so pale without make-up," said Linda suddenly when Anne was about to reach for her favorite sling bag.
"It's getting late, Linda. Who puts on makeup at night?" replied Anne with a smile.
"Lipstick is not make-up, it's just to freshen your pale, zombie-like face," said Linda curtly.
Anne chuckled. She then grabbed Linda's pink lipstick and gently daubed it on her thin lips.

Anne smacked her lips to spread the lipstick she had just wore in front of the mirror. Slowly, she then put Linda's lipstick back on the table.
"Okay, I'm done. Satisfied, Madam? Well, I'm leaving," said Anne quietly, smiling teasingly at Linda.
"Return to the hotel before eight o'clock, Anne! Remember, we have an invitation to have dinner together," Linda half shouted at Anne who was already at the door.
"Yeah Linda! After all, I'm just across the street. You don't have to worry, bye Linda!" Anne quickly answered Linda's words.
"Just don't be … jeez, you annoying girl, you just go away," Linda grumbled when she realized Anne had left the room. Linda finally decided to go to the bathroom to soak in the bathtub, doing some "me time" after working all day on the streets of Luxembourg.
Anne, who was already outside the hotel, immediately rushed across the street to reach the very charming Saint Michael's church. When she was almost close, there was a warm feeling welling up inside her. She felt like she was in her hometown, considering that Luxembourg was directly adjacent to Germany. Anne felt like she was in her own environment.
Without waiting for long, Anne went straight into the churchyard. Fortunately, there were still many people when she came. Anne then stepped into the historic church after making a cross with holy water at the entrance. She chose to sit in the front seat and immediately kneel to pray with her hands clasped on her chest.
"I'm coming, Lord," said Anne softly as she lowered her face with her eyes closed. Anne prayed fervently to calm her restless heart.
