65 Welcome to the Cruise (2)

While escaping from the duo, Samantha wandered around the area. Most of the guests invited on the cruise, are acquainted with her somehow. She doesn't at all want to engage in a conversation with them, she'd better off sleeping in her room. With the time on her hand, she might as well check out her suite, then come back again to get Isabella. So she ran straight to her suite on the third level.

Her suite was on the third level next to Isabella's. The staff members had already helped with her luggage while passing the room keycard to her.

Samantha looked at the keycard in her hand, number 3003 was engraved boldly on a plain glittering platinum card, simple and elegant.

As expected!

She swiped the key card to open the door to her suit. Walking inside, she felt the incredible softness of the plush carpet on the floor. From where she stood, even though she couldn't see the entire suite, she could still tell how grand it was. Furnished in white and gold, it bought about a royale touch to the entire suite. After a simple tour of the suite, she started sorting out her luggage.

Samantha was still debating whether to go out to see Isabella or not, when Isabella herself texted her saying that she was back to her suite and was going to take a rest.

So soon... Samantha was baffled as to how the conversation ended this soon

She wanted to check up on Isabella but decided against it, as it would be best to give her some time to recover on her own.

Since she had nothing else to do, she might as well take a short nap to regain her spirits.

******

Somewhere in a dark corner, hidden was a cowering man sweating profusely, shaking and panting. His white uniform was soaked wet by his blood and sweat. He was holding tightly on to a phone, the old model one with keypads which was rarely seen these days, with his both hands and was trying to type something. His fingers flew over the keypad hurriedly.

In the eerily silent room, one can clearly hear the hurriedly approaching footsteps.

Knock Knock

Samantha heard a knock in her slumber and woke up with a start. She somehow managed to scramble to the door and opened it only to see Yuhan standing outside with a steaming coffee mug in his hands "Coffee for you, sleepyhead"

She took the mug from his hands and walked back inside, Yuhan closed the door and followed her inside as well.

Samantha plopped on the chaise near window, with her legs crossed sipping on the warm coffee contendly.

"Aren't you hungry, let's go eat" Yuhan said

Even though she very much wanted to know what happened between him and Isabella, but since he didn't want to mention a word of that, she will let him be for the time being.

"Oh okay" finishing up what was left in the coffee mug in one go, she walked towards the bedroom.

Ten minutes later, Samantha emerged from her room freshly showered, looking all flushed and dewy. She had done a casual floral kaftan dress with her still damp hair let down to her waists.

Yuhan sighed, even though he gets to look at her everyday, he still can't get used to her overturning- the-world beauty. He can't help himself getting mesmerized every single time.

"Let's go" Samantha took her phone and keycard

They walked together to the banquet area on another level. It was close to dinner time and there were many guests present already.

Isabella and Ramon were seated together having a nice intimate meal, with just the two of them.

Her eyes unconsciously wandered around the area, searching for a certain someone. Unfortunately, there wasn't even a shadow of him present.

She chose a table in a secluded corner,

ordered some simple dishes and started their meal.

It was quite pleasant, mellow music playing in the background with the occasional clanking of glasses and some ideal chattering. All in one the atmosphere in the banquet hall was very calm and peaceful.

Clam like the calmness before the storm.....
