Chapter 533 - Wrong Room
~ Sunshine Paradise Resort Room 311 ~
Andrew woke up at the feel of something heavy pressing on top of his stomach.
In his sleepy state, he pulled down the comforter that was covering his head to find out what was resting on his stomach.
But to his surprise, Alveena's beautiful sleeping face greeted his sight the moment he removed the comforter.
She was lying next to him, facing him. Her leg was the one resting on his stomach while her hand was placed on top of his chest. She mistook Andrew as a pillow.
'Alveena? Why am I seeing you here? Did I miss you so much to the extent that I am dreaming about you now?' Andrew mumbled inwardly, thinking that he was just dreaming.
Andrew didn't think twice. He just found himself moving closer to her. With his sleepy state, he watched Alveena's face for several seconds.
He had to admit that he missed her. The more he tried to forget about her the more he was missing her each day.
He thought he was doing a good job of forgetting about Alveena since Hannah was already around. But he was wrong.
The moment he saw her, all his suppressed emotions and feelings he had for Alveena just kept gushing out into the open.
Thinking that this was just a dream, Andrew succumbed to his desire of holding her in his arms.
He slid his arm under her head so that it would serve as her pillow. Then he pulled her closer into his body, cuddling and hugging her in his arms.
He even planted a soft kiss on her forehead. Being satisfied with their current position, Andrew went back to sleep as he cuddled her.
Feeling the warmth and smelling the familiar scent of Andrew, Alveena buried herself further into his body, nuzzling her nose at the nook of his neck as her arm was wrapped around his body.
"Andrew…" She mumbled in her sleep.
Andrew and Alveena just continued hugging each other as they tried to get the sleep that was stolen from them last night.
For some unknown reason, they became more comfortable in their sleep as they were now back into each other's arms.
This was a very familiar feeling that their subconscious was missing for the past few days of not seeing each other.
Meanwhile, as the two people who were deprived of sleep were comfortably hugging each other in room 311, there was a guy who was patiently waiting outside the door of room 317.
Brandon learned from Alveena's colleagues that she was assigned to room 317. Brandon, who was feeling bored of staying in his room, decided to invite Alveena to roam around the resort.
"Is she sleeping? I already knocked several times but she didn't respond at all."
Brandon checked the time on his wristwatch. It was already 1:00 p.m. He wondered if Alveena had already eaten her lunch.
"Hmm. I will just come back later. I want to invite her and watch the sunset together. For now, I will let her rest first."
"Hmm, should I invite her for a night swim too?"
Brandon finally left, thinking that Alveena got tired from the trip. At least, Brandon was not a push-over. He was also considerate of Alveena.
He was enjoying every time he would tease her. He was so determined to win her heart and get her affection.
He would try his best to become closer to her during this conference. He hoped Alveena would be able to accept their arranged marriage.
He liked her since they were alike. Their attitude and interest were the same. Both of them loved thrill and exciting activities. They also had bubbly characters.
"Alveena, I will not give up. I will make sure that you will fall for me."
Brandon was confident that he would succeed. He went back to his room, thinking of the best way to surprise Alveena today.

~Back to room # 311~
Alveena suddenly woke up because of a grumbling stomach. She hadn't eaten her lunch yet. She was so tired and sleepy that she ended up sleeping for several hours.
It was already 2:00 pm when she woke up. She slowly opened her eyes only to find out that she was not alone in her bed.
Andrew's chest was the first thing that came into her view when she opened her eyes.
Alveena blinked her eyes several times, making sure to clear her vision. She thought she was just imagining things.
When Alveena still could see the sleeping figure of a man in front of her, her eyes widened in horror. She just realized that her hand was wrapped around his body.
"Shit! He is real! I'm not dreaming. What is happening here? As far as I could remember I was alone in my room. Who is this stranger?"
Alveena began to panic as she didn't see the face of the man who was hugging her.
She was contemplating whether to shout for help or not. She might wake up this man. She thought of escaping quietly but she couldn't. The man was holding her tightly.
'Damn! Who is this guy?' Alveena mustered up her courage to look at him.
She slowly raised her head only to get the shock of her life. The man beside her was Andrew!
Her mind malfunctioned in an instant. She couldn't figure out why Andrew was there in her room, sound asleep while he was hugging her tightly.
This was not the scenario she had in mind of how they would meet today. She thought they would see each other in the conference hall while facing the other finance directors.
Who would have thought that she would see him sooner, in her own room and her bed??!
She felt like she was losing her wits. She didn't understand how they ended up sleeping in one room.
'Did he intrude and barge into my room? Does he know that I am here? But why would he do that?'
Alveena didn't know what to do. She wanted to leave while Andrew was still asleep but she couldn't escape from his grasp since his arms were holding her tightly.
She felt helpless since part of her wanted to stay there, just hugging Andrew and savoring the moment. She missed him so badly.
'Why does fate want to play with me? How can I move on and forget about you if fate is always bringing us together... just like this?'
