Chapter 42: Why You?
"You look beautiful...shall we?" As Gabriel Frost stepped into the opulent room, he placed the small bouquet of roses on the table with a smile and turned to Arabelle, who stood there frozen.
Raising an eyebrow in her direction, he questioned," Are you pretending to be a statue, sweet Arabelle?"
The smile on her face evaporated and she questioned with a frown, "Why is it you?"
Familiar with her ways, Gabriel shrugged nonchalantly and explained," Sorry to disappoint, but Demetri got caught up with something last minute. He asked me to take you to the hot water springs instead."
"But..."
"But... what?" Gabriel quickly grabbed the small bag that Arabelle had prepared and caught her wrist," Let’s go."
"You don’t even work for the Frost Hospitality Group! How can you know this?"
"Just because I do not work for this part of the Frost Group does not mean that I am not aware of the best places. This is one of our prime properties so of course I am well acquainted with it. Now, are we going to stand here and chat or would you like to come along?"
"Let go of my wrist and I’ll do it."
