The two bodyguards too fell silent.
"Well?" Avery asked. She did not feel safe staying with Elliot in the suite and having both of the bodyguards living with them was the most secure option.
However, Elliot rejected her idea straight away. "I don't like staying with so many people. We will take one room and the two of them can take another. End of story."
"What does he mean, 'end of story'?!" she thought.
Elliot’s bodyguard took the hint and immediately handed his identification card along with Avery's bodyguard's to the receptionist as soon as Elliot finished his sentence. "A double room, please." The receptionist swiftly arranged the room and handed them the card to the double room. Elliot’s bodyguard shot Avery's bodyguard a fierce look and signaled for him to go with him.
"Miss. Tate... I'll go now, then... Call me if you need something!" The bodyguard said to Avery, before setting her trunk down and hurrying over to catch up to Elliot's bodyguard.
Once they left, Elliot looked at Avery and said, "Didn't you say you were tired? Let's go take a nap in the room and head to the pit tomorrow."
Elliot wanted to prove to Avery that he only wished to stay with her so that they could take care of one another, and not come onto her. Avery was too tired to argue, and she was struggling to keep her eyes open at that point, so she reluctantly agreed.
Once the room was arranged, Elliot picked up her trunk, and the two headed to the elevator.
Elliot had booked the president suite with five rooms, and once they entered the suite, she picked a room for herself, before proceeding to pick Elliot a room that was the furthest away from hers.
Without a second thought, she immediately opened the door. "I thought you said that we are going there tomorrow? " Her eyes glittered with excitement. She wanted to follow him.
"I'm not sleepy now, and it's too boring to stay in my room, so I thought of dropping by," he said. His eyes wandered downward and scanned the gown she was wearing. " Your style did change."
Her gown used to be in white or beige with laces and ribbon on the collar or sleeves, and now, she was wearing a piece of red lingerie. There were no extra decorations and the style seemed extremely elegant and mature.
"Focus on speaking and keep your eyes to yourself." She glared at him and turned to walk toward her trunk to take her clothes." Give me a minute. I will go to the pit with you."
He casually followed her in. "I thought you were sleepy? Just rest. I can take some photos for you. If your curiosity is really keeping you from falling asleep, I can video -call you from the pit."
