Chapter 66: It’s Not the Right Time Yet
Lariette stared out the balcony, watching the scenic view of the vast ocean. The waters shimmered under the dazzling sunlight. The waves rolled in a rhythm, kissing the shore of the white sandy beach.
Glancing at her wristwatch, Lariette found that the time had just struck a quarter past one. A sigh escaped her lips as she tried to imagine what would happen next.
The meeting held at the Elsher family’s villa would begin at two. Lariette and Ruediger would head there with Chairman Delaney.
"The sooner it ends, the better."
Lariette leaned against the balcony railing, throwing her gaze to the vicinity around the villa. The place was guarded well, not allowing trespassers, especially the tourists.
Lariette planned to bring Ruediger and Madeline to the nearby areas tomorrow morning. They could continue their adventure the day after tomorrow.
Chairman Delaney told Lariette and Ruediger to occupy this particular room. Aside from being spacious and comfortable, it also had an inner room.
A king-sized bed dominated the main area of the chamber while the inner room had a smaller yet equally comfortable bed. A cozy reading nook, walk-in wardrobe and washroom were also included.
"You don’t want people to be suspicious, right? Using different rooms will make them question your marriage so, this is the least I can do."
The Elsher family had already doubted Lariette and Ruediger’s marriage. Chairman Delaney didn’t want other people to think the same.
Well, they could run their mouths off as much as they wanted but, they better not do it in front of him.
