Chapter 139: I followed my heart
Amelie pressed the key card against the suite door, and it clicked open with a soft sound. She turned to Gabriel with a warm, affectionate gaze before stepping inside.
Soft lighting bathed the spacious suite, revealing the romantic touches scattered throughout the room. The fresh red roses enhance the ambiance.
Her eyes wandered to the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, their glass panes concealed by thick, velvety curtains.
"Freshen up. I’ll call room service for dinner," Gabriel said, already making his way to the landline phone.
Amelie gave a nod and disappeared into the washroom. Gabriel placed the order for a full-course dinner, then hung up the receiver. He casually unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt sleeves, rolling them up to his forearms.
Just as he was about to settle onto the couch, the doorbell chimed. He walked over and opened the door to find a hotel server bowing slightly, pushing in a silver trolley loaded with covered dishes. After arranging the dishes on the dining table, the server offered another polite bow and exited.
By the time Gabriel turned around, Amelie had returned, gently dabbing her face with a towel. Her hair was damp, and her cheeks glowed softly.
"Wow! That was fast! Everything smells amazing," she said, cheerfully tossing the towel onto the couch before taking a seat at the table. "Let’s dig in!"
"I need to make a quick call. Go ahead and start without me," Gabriel replied, offering a brief smile before stepping out onto the balcony.
He pulled out his phone and noticed several unread messages from Casaio. His brows slightly furrowed as he tapped on the call icon and brought the phone to his ear.
"I was wondering when you’d call," Casaio answered almost immediately.
