Chapter 1042
Even though Suella was trying her best to gain attention, Danny still spotted Alicia first when he came to the reception hall. Well, she did help me out. Might as well say hi. "Hey, Miss Heidelberg. Here for the meteor shower, too?"
Alicia turned around. Oh, it's him. She smiled. "Yeah. I'm here with a friend. Wonder if we'd be lucky enough to see it."
"I bet you will be lucky enough." Danny smiled in return. "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for your help. I'll be sure to treat you next time."
"Oh, it's alright. I didn't do much, anyway." She wasn't expecting any reward.
"Please, I insist. I'll do it. We're friends now. Just call me when you need anything."
Oh, this is a nice guy. Suella took her glasses off. She wanted to say hi to Danny but was too proud to do so. Thus, she fidgeted around and waited for Danny to talk to her first.
However, the man only spared her a glance before saying, "I can see you're busy. I'll leave you to it now." With that, he left.
Right that instant, Suella's face fell, and she crossed her arms in annoyance. "Who's that?" she snapped. "I was standing right here, yet he didn't even say hi to me. Bloody no manners."
"But he doesn't even know you're my friend." Alicia looked at her in disbelief. She didn't expect Suella to say that, but still, she explained, "That's Jamie's friend. He's an investor if my memory serves me right. I have not a clue on what he invests in, though."
Jamie's friend? So, he must be rich, then. Thank you, God, for sending me a man like him. I'm taking it. Suella replaced her annoyance with delight as she asked, "What's his name?"
"Danny Griffith," answered Alicia impatiently. Just then, the manager handed her their key card. She took it and made her way to the elevator with her suitcase in tow.
Hmm, I can leave her here alone for a moment. With that thought in mind, Suella made her way to the entrance. "You go ahead. I left something in the car. I'll be right back."
…
Danny took a carton of expensive mineral water from the trunk and slammed the door shut with his leg. He then made his way back to the resort. The resort's water might be bad due to the place being newly opened. Ariel didn't want to drink it, much less use it in her skincare routine. She told Danny to get them some mineral water. It was expensive, but compared to Ariel's skin, it was nothing.
Suella stood at the parking lot's entrance. When she saw Danny heading her way, she quickly stopped in her tracks and straightened her clothes out. Imitating Alicia, she held her hands before her, pretending to be a polite lady. Then, she turned around and practiced her smile, trying to see which smile would show her looks perfectly. Then, I'll seduce him when he passes me by. When Danny finally got closer to her, she turned around sheepishly. Just when she was about to say hi, she saw a car charging straight at the man from behind. "Look out!" She covered her mouth and pointed behind him.
