She would not forget this beauty, who left a lasting impression on her some hours ago.
She warily looked at the famous butler while cautiously replying to him, "Is there anything wrong? You aren't planning anything bad, right?"
"Gosh! How did your brain cells compute these replies?" Jace's eyes almost popped out at the unbelievable conclusion he just heard.
But, come to think of it, only the late lady of Saphila could elicit protection from the masses. The new lady of Saphila just arrived hours ago, and a citizen is going all out to defend her. This was a sign of a great beginning.
Jace's uncertain heart was finally at peace. Such a lady boss will care for her citizens. He swore that he could foresee the development of the Saphila South region. Even though it is a small development. Mosquito meat is meat. The citizens will very much love and appreciate such efforts.
Jace could be seen trying to explain himself to the on-guard receptionist. Who is not taking any chances with this famous guy? The young girl who lodged in a luxury suite was too lovable. Another fact was her generous tip, which solved her impending problem that almost went bad. If anything is going to happen to her, she has sworn to go to jail as the protector of a criminal.
Though she was certain the cutie was not a criminal.
Jace had almost spent his mental energy trying to get the gorgeous gypsy lady on the same boat as him. But the damned lady won't back down. She even fortified her guard by not giving Jace any chance to play dirty.
She secretly sent an SOS to Elaine's room number. An indication for her to run away because trouble is brewing at the receptionist's stand.
Both the gypsy lady and butler gentleman were in a silent stare fight. A pity; looks can't kill. They were now at the climax of the role play. Jace won't return until he picks up the regional lady, while the gypsy sweetie won't tell on her favourite customer until she notices all is well.
Elaine had arrived a few minutes ago. She noticed the drama. She waited to understand their play. Only to receive the shock of the day. The theme of their drama was all about her.
'Haa! So, a passing help can buy loyalty. But occasional help could not...' Her mind drifted to her personal maid. She thought they were on the same page until she tell on her to her father. Leading to all this drama these few days.
Well, it seems to be a blessing in disguise. She would not have bought out the whole south region of the central blue planet on a recently discovered continent.
Having watched her fill, it was time to correct the misunderstanding. She dragged the traveling luggage she purchased yesterday towards Jace and the gypsy receptionist.
Getting close by, the two noticed her. The gypsy receptionist cut her an eye and told her to run away from these men who were after her. She received Elaine's warmest smile. She walked up to her and struck up a conversation.
"At peace, beauty. They are my people. I called them to pick me up yesterday evening. I appreciate your help in fending off strangers." Elaine said while holding her hands.
Elaine's skin was so smooth and delicate that the gypsy girl who was touching her was enthralled with it. It was a far cry from hers. She recollected herself and replied to Elaine's sentence, "No problem, ma. I will always be the number one Saphila citizen who always got your safety as my top priority. Are you here to check out of your room?"
"Yes, dear." Elaine gave a short reply to the gypsy lady.
"This is it. I guess I won't get to see you again." The gypsy young lady signed.
"Who said so? Oi' big guy..." Elaine turned to Jace and said, "What was your name again?"
"Jace...J-jace Kayvan, my lady." Jace replied to her question.
"Save the contact details of this fine lady. I feel she has a destiny with me. I am sure our paths will cross again." Elaine said it in a confident manner. One might believe she was an ancient seer who could peep into the future.
Jace took the first request from his boss seriously. He is an avid believer in first impressions.
He collected the contact details of the gypsy young lady, whose name was revealed as Jada Courtney. She was a twenty-year-old. Alumni of Saphila University. One of the countless universities in the Saphila South region. The university is ranked as the top university in the Saphila South region and was surprised to be ranked among the top three thousand universities in Blue Planet.
It is quite a shock that the corrupt management still maintains and invests in the university. However, not much investment was made. They trimmed down a lot of investment meant for the educational section for all manner of nonsensical reasons. The rank of Saphila University dropped from the top 1,000 to the current rank.
When former lady Granny was sick and couldn't take care of herself, talk less about the Saphila South region. A lot of undercurrent was scheme. Greedy fools destroyed the almost-perfect structures all to enrich their pockets.
Most striving sectors fell. The worst piled up. The months-old inheritor messes up everything. He siphoned away the visible wealth of the region. Though his grandmother said there was hidden wealth to build the region. He saw the talk of a sick patient as rambling after some unsuccessful searches.
Of course, Granny was not stupid because she was sick. She made sure that only the inheritor who cared about Saphila would inherit the hidden treasure. Well, drifter King is at it again.
Elaine's interest was piqued. She remembered having a dream of reaching the zenith of education, but it was cut short because of her escape. She had received an admission letter to one of the prestigious universities ranked in the top 100 on Blue Planet.
She would have to forfeit the admission or risk her father having some ideas about her location. The kids of her father's friends will be enrolled in such universities. The chances of meeting one that will sell her out are so great.
F*ck famous universities. She vowed to rebuild Saphila University and other educational enterprises in her territory. She would raise their rank to the top 1,000 in a year. It won't be her end goal. Within five years, she planned for some of the universities, be they private or public, to climb to the top hundred spots on the university rank board.
All these plans were set in motion. But now, it was time to go home. Of course, her new home. She, once again, tipped the workers around. Putting smiles on their faces.
She left with Jace and the guards who came with him.
Instead of walking to the parking lot, they took the elevator to the top floor. Elaine understood she was to leave by helicopter.
In a few minutes, they arrived at the rooftop helipad. An entourage of helicopters was parked, waiting for their arrival.
There are four brands of futuristic helicopters that travelled to bring home their lady. Most of these helicopters are still in the concept stage when compared to Earth's technology level.
