Chapter 39

I had Michael take the lead completely, and I’m fine with it. I’d be lost in this situation in an expensive hotel with even more expensive people and I very much would like to not put any attention on myself whatsoever. I swear I saw a celebrity or two on my way up and a couple of people taking a glance at me which makes me even more nervous. Am I that obvious that I don’t belong in this kind of setting?

The walls of the elevator I’m in are a pure mirror as its floors are covered in a dark red shade of carpet with intricate designs and overhead there is some golden lining. I turn to look at my reflection on the elevator walls and am immediately become self-conscious of myself. Michael must have seen it, well of course since there are mirrors everywhere, and motions for me to take deep breaths. I follow just that and try doing so but my nerves are just on end and I don’t think it’s going to stop any time soon.
