I glanced at the files in his arms and asked, “Aren’t you going to work in their office?”
“Not here,” he replied. “I ordered food to be delivered to our room. You can rest after you eat.”
I was startled by his attentiveness. Nevertheless, I gave him a nod.
Our rooms were booked earlier. The bellboy brought us to our room and said, “Your meal has been delivered. If you need anything else, please call the front desk.”
Although we booked two rooms, for our convenience, the lunch was sent to Nick’s room. We thanked the bellboy and entered the room.
We had an early flight and immediately started working upon arrival. I was exhausted and hungry after a few hours.
I ate my share and got up, preparing to leave the room to Nick. He looked at me and said, “You can rest here. I’ll leave after a while.”
As he was still eating, I nodded in acknowledgment. The room was a suite, where the living room and bedroom were separated.
I entered the bedroom and switched on the air conditioner. Plopping on the bed, the last thought I had before falling asleep was to take a shower after Nick left.
