Chapter 181
Dino came in front of Room 401 and gave it a couple of gentle knocks.
When no one responded, he walked over to Room 402 and knocked on the door again, and then said politely, “Hello, I have brought what you want.”
Nicole closed the lid of the laptop, got up to open the door with a straight face, and saw Dino’s equally nonchalant, almost cavalier face outside.
Dino handed her two gilded red papers and bowed respectfully.
“You two have a nice day.”
Nicole nodded and gently closed the door back.
She did not ask why Dino delivered the tickets in person.
Nicole was not a new guest and did not need the pickup service of the hotel.
So, he stood up straight again and quickly left.
“Who was it?” Zeke asked in puzzlement when Nicole turned back inside.
Nicole did not answer but looked at the time on the red paper, which stated that the session started at 9.00 pm.
It was only 4.00 pm now.
So, she threw a ticket to Zeke and said casually, “Do you want to have a duel with me in the Imperial Palace?”
Zeke’s eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly.
The Imperial Palace was a computer game that he and Nicole often played to kill time.
The characters in the game were challenging to play, and the two often competed online during free time.
Zeke had never beaten Nicole before, but it did not affect his enthusiasm at the mention of this game.
They turned on their computers, and as usual, they registered two new characters and started afresh.
