Chapter 221: Fallen for him?
Elaina returned to the Li Mansion, where she was greeted by Old Ye. After telling Old Ye that she was off for a business trip, Elaina went to her room to pack her things. It took her almost an hour to pack her things, after which she headed to the airport with Mia, who was also coming with her.
The flight took off from china at six in the evening. The flight was of almost eight hours, and when Elaina reached Russia, it was almost ten 'o'clock in the night there.
Because she was working on the flight continuously, Elaina didn't have the time to sleep, which exhausted her to a great extent. She and Mia did not have to wait for long, as all the preparations were already done.
A car was waiting for them at the Moscow airport, which drove them to their destination, which was the hotel, 'The Russian heights', a luxurious seven-star hotel, famous for its service to the customers, and the enormous price that it charges for all its services.
Entering the hotel, which was no less than a grand palace, Elaina was impressed, whereas Mia was dumbfounded. How can a hotel be as elegant and as big as this? But maintaining a poker face, Mia's inner thoughts weren't observable.
With two personal bodyguards, that were given to Elaina, by the client that she was to meet tomorrow, she proceeded towards the reception. It was not like Elaina didn't have any bodyguards, but she did not take them with her on purpose, the reason being she did want to catch too much-unwanted attention, but since they were sent by the client, there was no room for refusal.
As they came to the reception desk, they were greeted by two female and two male receptionists. One of the women approached them and then greeted them in English.
"Good evening, dear guest. Welcome to Russian heights."
Elaina nodded, and then greeted, "Good evening," after which she let Mia talk. Meanwhile, Mia was talking to the receptionists, Elaina took the seat in the waiting area in front of the reception, which was as grand as the hotel.
Sitting there for five minutes, it was time for Elaina to go to her room. They were led by a male receptionist, who helped them reach the 'golden floor' where the room was. The hotel had different areas, divided according to the type of room you would go for.
Of these, the 'golden area' was the most expensive and was offered in the 'golden area'. The 'golden area' had a separate building and there were four rooms each on every floor. Out of these, there is this, 'golden floor' in this building, that had only two rooms on the floor.
Those rooms were suites, which had a drawing-room, a dining area, a large-sized master bedroom with a bathroom attached. The feature that was exclusive was a swimming pool inside the suite, in short, an indoor pool.
Sounds luxurious, doesn't it?
But to get a booking in this room, wouldn't be possible, if not for the influence that Song Industries have in countries like Europe and America. The Song Industry as described, is a multi-national corporation, at the same level as the Li Corporation. But because the Songs have stayed secretive, not much was known about them, their fortune was still unknown. It is also because of the power the Songs hold, people chose to stay away from them, they were not someone to be challenged.
Anyway, fortunately, they could get the room, easily. Thus, Elaina was led to the room. The two rooms were on two opposite sides of the floor, which means between the two rooms was a long corridor. Both the suites had their private elevators, which were only available for them, and their exclusive staff.
After being settled, Mia left for her room, which was on the floor below Elaina's, whereas the two bodyguards also took their leave. Elaina was now left all alone in the room, and of course, the room in front of her room, was where Li Wei stayed. And in no way, we should name it as coincidence, because it wasn't a coincidence at all.
Eliana, sat on the sofa, in the drawing-room. She had come to Moscow, but what now?
This was the dumbest thing that Eliana could do. She came to Moscow, and took the room on the same floor as Li Wei, but what was to be done after this, is what she didn't think of.
Taking her phone, she looked at her schedule, and there was nothing, in her schedule, except her meeting with the client and signing a deal.
"Ugh, why did I come here?" Elaina groaned as she started to regret her decisions.
'Should I go to meet Li Wei? But what will I do if he asks me why I am here? And I am sure he will understand that all of this is not a coincidence?'
'But, if I returned without meeting him, and when our rooms are like this, the conclusion is the same!'
'Should I go back? But then...'
'What is the point of going back now! I have to sign the deal! And in this, if I met with Li Wei? Then I am done for! How I am going to answer him about how did I end up here?'
Eliana was now pacing back and forth in the room, she had absolutely no idea what to do. Finally, after an hour of thinking, she reached a conclusion.
Elaina would sign a deal with the client and then the same day, she will take a flight back to China, and in all this, she will take note that she doesn't bump into Li Wei.
Reaching this conclusion, Elaina finally relaxed, but a part of her was still restless. Opening her door, she peaked across the corridor, Li Wei's room was right in front of her.
'Did he not come back yet? What is he doing till now? Don't tell me he was with that woman!'
'Wait! Does that means I am being jealous?'
As soon as this thought came into her mind, Elaina looked like she was in a dilemma. Was she being Jealous? And if she is jealous, this means she has fallen for Li Wei. 'No, this can't be possible. Are you kidding me?' Elaina thought, but what if she is?
Now, Elaina is going to do the dumbest thing ever, which was taking out her phone and typing on the web, "SIGNS THAT YOU ARE IN LOVE" and the results she was got was the following:-
Your heartbeat increases as soon as he comes close to you?
Check ✓
Do you hate the fact that he is with someone else?
Check ✓
You like it when he is with you?
Check ✓
Time passes quickly when you are with him?
Check ✓
You want him to be happy?
Check ✓
Do you care about him?
Check ✓
Do you love his touch or kisses?
At this, Elaina's face turned red, clearing her throat, she said, "T-That...C-Check!"
Check ✓
'That means...I have fallen for him?' Elaina, on reaching the conclusion, couldn't decide, whether she was happy or not. She was nervous, soon something came into Elaina's mind.
'Good night then, dear wife. I love you'
This is what Li Wei said, on the call, when she fell asleep, during their call. After that, it was like, Elaina couldn't think of anything, soon her eyes closed, and unknowingly she fell into sleep, into a deep slumber, her last words, 'In the end, I have fallen for him.'
....
Elaina woke from sleep, when her doorbell rang, as soon as she got up, she realized, that she had fallen asleep on the sofa itself, in the drawing-room. This was the reason why her neck was aching. Groaning in pain, she opened the door, and it was Mia.
Seeing Elaina, who was half asleep, Mia could not help but chuckle.
"Why so early?" Elaina groaned with her voice that was still husky because she had just got up.
"It's not early, your highness. It's already nine in the morning, and you need to meet up with the client at 11: 30," Mia said, as she sat on the sofa, next to where Eliana was sitting, still day dreaming.
Yawning, two times back to back, Elaina took a deep sigh, and then, said, 'I am going to get ready then. Ask them to bring the breakfast for both of us, here," as she proceeded towards the bathroom, to wash up.
Mia shook her head, and then called for room service, ordering them to bring breakfast in the room. Even though Mia and Elaina were employ and employer, they were different behind the scenes. Only during work, they maintained this relationship.
At the end of the day, they were still friends who attended the same high school.
Elaina got out of the shower after half an hour. For her attire, as today has to be a business meeting, she decided to keep it formal with a touch of elegance, to maintain her status.
She chose to wear a black slanted one shoulder wide leg black jumpsuit.
One-shoulder looked sexily accent by a slanted neckline. Completely show Eliana's charms and grace with its one-shoulder design, slanted shoulder detail along the neckline, it's bodycon fit on top, and the package hip wide-leg pants linked up to flatter a knockout style in the crowd. On the waist, it had a slash belt, which gave the jumpsuit a fit body shape look.
Making her hair into a low ponytail, and opting for a peach nude lipstick, Elaina was ready, until the breakfast came. Besides having breakfast, Elaina took some time to go through some documents related to the project.
Before leaving the room, Elaina added a white blazer to put it as a cape on her shoulders and wearing black open toe pumps with ankle straps. She did not forget to put on her black sunglasses as well.
They left the hotel at 10:45 am, and the two bodyguards were already present when Elaina came outside the hotel. In half an hour, they reached the headquarters, for their meeting with Abalyshev Erik Olegovich, the C.E.O of Vertex corporation.
