Why was John saying that things usually don't work as we plan or expect?
No. It was just her imagination.
It was good that he warned her about the surroundings. He was a police officer, and he must have met so many people from different backgrounds.
This time she opted for sweet dash to satisfy her sweet tooth. In a way, she was thankful to John for waking her up on time.
Otherwise, she would have missed the fun of having this lavish breakfast.
One doesn't get a chance to have a meal or coffee or se*x or even a buffet in a seven-star hotel. She was lucky that John introduced her to this luxury otherwise she always watched such high-end hotels only from outside.
After filling her plate with pastries and egg pudding she came back to her seat.
"Excuse me," she called a waiter, "Can I have an iced caramel latte?"
