Chapter 310 - Is this really Aleksis...? (1/2)
Ugh ... Alaric really loved his privacy, he is just as paranoid as my dad, Aleksis complained in her head.
She would not be able to find this mansion on her own, because last night when she came here on Alaric's motorbike, it was very dark and she could not pay attention to her surroundings. This afternoon, too, they came out in a special car with dark tinted windows.
They did not talk to each other along the way. Aleksis thought Alaric would have preferred if Aleksis didn't talk to him in front of his men, so she chose to be quiet and only stroked her dog's back.
She calculated that it would take them about 15 minutes to arrive at the Continental Hotel. Hmm, she should be able to investigate Alaric's mansion's location by checking the places within a 15-min drive radius from the hotel.
Or ... she could also ask for a tracker from Carl or Sascha. She would then leave the tracker in this car and trace its location later.
With that thought in mind, Aleksis got out of the car and said goodbye to Alaric, ”I'll go upstairs to pack my things. It will take a while though, do you want to wait in the lobby or come upstairs with me?”
If Alaric chose to go with her upstairs, Aleksis would have to think of an excuse on why she was staying in such a luxurious Continental Hotel penthouse ...
”There's no need. I'll go to my office and do something. You can meet me there later,” Alaric said as he climbed out of the car.
”Okay...”
The two of them walked toward the elevator and entered together. Aleksis had to press the 50th-floor button when Alaric pressed the button corresponding to the 39th-floor. Aleksis couldn't let Alaric know that she was going to the highest floor.
Since the man kept his mansion's location a secret, Aleksis then would not tell him that she was actually staying in the penthouse.
”See you later ...” Alaric smiled sweetly. He then walked out of the elevator and headed to his office. Aleksis nodded. She exited on the 50th floor, in the hotel reception lobby, then re-entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 100th floor.
Three minutes later, she busied herself with stuffing some clothes, swimsuits, snorkel gear and books into her bag.
For a moment she was stunned, remembering that 8 years ago she also did the same, packing things like this to sail with Alaric. A smile slowly adorned her lips as she remembered their experience at that time. It was a very pleasant memory.
She unconsciously blushed, recalling that their first kiss was actually when Aleksis pretended to be drowning and Alaric had to give her a CPR.
So many things had happened during the past eight years, she thought. Alaric did many terrible things for his revenge, while Aleksis grew up trying to find him ...
The girl bit her lip and tried to think of how she could touch Alaric's heart and change his mind.
No matter what, she must succeed. Once she succeeded in convincing Alaric to correct his ways, then she would take him home and have him meet her family.
Aleksis knew she might have to work very hard, but given how she had looked for Alaric for years, she would not give up without a try. She would do her best to change his heart.
