Chapter 48 - Treat
Adrik's eyes twitched, and he opened them. He glanced beside him and didn't find Leia. His brow crinkled a bit, and he climbed down from the bed.
He walked to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, then took a nice bath. He outfitted himself in a white suit and did the necessary paperwork he needed to do before leaving for his company.
He picked up his suitcase and proceeded to go down and find his little wife. However, he had just taken a step forward when the door slammed open, revealing his little wife, who was all dressed up with her face full of smiles. She was swathed in blue shorts and a white half-cut hoodie, while her feet were covered in white sneakers and her hair neatly fixed.
Leia walked into the room and picked up her phone from the table. "I want to treat you to breakfast, but somewhere different, not at home here." She raised her eyes and glanced at him. "You will have to suspend your work for today." She smiled sheepishly at him.
Adrik raised his brow and gazed at her with a questioning expression on his face. "Little wife, why are you treating me to breakfast?"
"Well, let's say it's my way of saying sorry." Leia took a deep breath and stared at him as she bit her lower lip. "So... Can you suspend your work?" She asked, with anticipation apparent in her eyes.
Adrik gazed at her for a moment and slowly nodded his head. "Alright then." He dropped the suitcase on the mini table and adjusted his suit, then outstretched his hand to Leia.
Leia smiled warmly and took his hand, and together they headed downstairs.
They walked out of the mansion and met Alex, who bowed to them in respect and opened the door of the black Rolls Royce for them.
They took their seats at the back, and Alex sped out of the estate and into the road.
While the car sped smoothly down the road, Leia gazed at the bright sky, and the smile on her face widened. She feels so different today. She feels free and happy like she has never felt before. Was it because she finally didn't want to see this marriage as her life wrecker? Maybe...
The car finally slowed down after an hour's ride and rode into a compound that had a tall building with the name "Pompane Hotel" on it. This hotel was recently opened a year ago, and it was said to have the best restaurant and chefs. It was also very expensive!
Adrik glanced at the building from inside the car and his brow raised in bewilderment. He turned to Leia and stared at her with a questioning gaze.
"No matter what, I wouldn't treat you to a cheap hotel." Leia chuckled and gazed back at him with a smirk on her lips.
The car was parked in the parking lot of the compound, and they stepped down. They gazed at the hotel, and Leia grabbed Adrik by the hand and motioned for Alex to follow them.
A counter that had a lovely young lady came into view, and Leia walked over to the young lady. "Hi... Can I have the key? " She outstretched her hand and the young lady nodded with a smile on her face as she placed a key with the number "305" in her hand.
Leia slightly nodded in satisfaction and turned around to walk back to Adrik, whose eyes were on her.
The receptionist glanced at Adrik, and her eyes fluttered in confusion. Was this girl his girlfriend or what? Or maybe she's his younger sister. She nodded her head and nudged her skull in realization.
Leia grabbed Adrik by the hand and pulled him to the elevator, with Alex following behind. The elevator took them to the 3rd floor, and they stepped out when its door opened.
Her eyes glanced at every door that came into view, and she halted in front of one with the same number on the key in her hand. She unlocked the door and gestured for Adrik and Alex to enter the room. Adrik slightly nodded and walked into the room, followed by Alex.
A sunny living room that had plenty of splashes of citrus and a modern chandelier hanging from the ceiling came into view. Its glass window was huge and gazing out of it, you could view the beautiful horizon and the early morning sun.
Adrik smiled unknowingly and nodded his head in approval. He turned around only to see Leia smiling at him with expectations in her eyes, and he gave her a thumbs up. Honestly, this place was normal compared to the big, rich hotels he had been in sometimes, but for the fact that his little wife chose this place to treat him to breakfast, then it's the best.
He glanced at the white, beautifully designed table with three chairs around it and walked to it. He pulled one of the chairs out and sat down. Leia glanced at Alex and strolled to take her seat.
Alex fluttered his eyes and ambled over to stand beside them as his Alpha's assistant. Leia dropped her phone on the table and raised her eyes to stare at Adrik. "It will be here in a few minutes." Adrik nodded at her and interlocked his hands.
It didn't take more than two minutes before two females and a male clad in a white uniform walked into the room with trays filled with delicacies and foods in their hands.
They ambled to the table where Leia and Adrik were seated and nicely set the food on it. They dropped two bottles of wine and two glass cups on the table and gave a respectful bow to Adrik and Leia. Leia smiled at them and waved them to leave.
Adrik's eyes fluttered in confusion as he stared at the food on the table. He raised his eyes to glance at Leia, and his brow arched in a questioning manner. Was there a possibility that she was inviting someone else to join them because what he was seeing on the table was too much for just two people?
Leia chuckled at him and reached out her hand over the table to take the mask off his face. "I told you it was my treat, and I'm not going to be stingy with it." She revealed a warm smile and placed the mask on the table.
