”Good evening sir,” Holly greeted returning her boss's smile.
”I trust you enjoyed the trip?”
”It was short, but splendid, yes.”
By now, Viktor and the pilot had been alerted of Edward's arrival and we're now walking to join them.
”I arranged for a car to meet us at the entrance,” Viktor informed them for what had to be the hundredth time.
Edward nodded then turned to the man beside his guard. ”Han, thank you so much. It was a great flight.”
Han gave a two finger salute before turning to shake Viktor. He gave Holly a small wave before walking back onto the jet to return it to it's hangar somewhere in the forests of Beijing.
The trio walked into the airport terminal and after necessary processes went out to meet the driver at the entrance doors.
”Did you make the hotel reservations?” Edward asked Holly as soon as they got into the car.
”Yes, one executive suite and two single rooms.”
Holly gave the name of the hotel to the driver and soon they were off.
According to the letter, the Pins had already made reservations for him and his ”plus one” in the hotel where the party was to happen, but since he had arrived two days earlier than expected, he'd made reservations elsewhere.
His mission for now was to establish a relationship between his arch nemesis and his father's best friend. His vacation hadn't started yet.
”Do we have the name of the hotel Jinn is staying in yet?”
Although Edward suspected it was the same one every guest was staying in, he had still asked Viktor to run a check. One could never be too sure.
”Yes, It's The Haven.” Viktor would have given more information, but Holly the secretary was there and the information was confidential.
Edward understood this and nodded. He asked no further questions until they reached their hotel and were checked into their rooms.
They reconvened after each of them had showered and changed into fresh clothes for dinner in the hotel restaurant.
Holly sat on a separate table allowing Viktor and Edward the privacy to talk without worrying about her listening in.
”We have already set up surveillance in and around the hotel. Since we started watching him, he has been out only once to play golf with who we have found out as Mr. Tai Pin.”
Edward nodded. ”So you've seen him with Tai.” He let this information sink in before asking, ”Did you get details of their conversation?”
”Sketchy, but from what we heard, they talked about nothing other than golf.”
Their table was somewhere between a window table and the table at the centre where Holly was seated.
Edward had chosen the smaller restaurant for their meal because it was emptier and offered a view of the streets of Beijing.
If he looked outside, he could see the headlights from cars moving along with the local pedestrians on the sidewalks.
As Edward allowed himself to think of the next step he wanted to take, he caught a glimpse of someone that seemed very familiar and he froze.
”It can't be,” he whispered, in shock, as the person disappeared from the view of the window.
