Chapter 29 - 29

29

Morgan's POV

Dante drove to the hotel while I laid down silently in the back seat of the car. The warmth was what I really needed and even though I would never say it out loud, I was glad that he had come to find me.

We got to the hotel, the receptionist still there at the desk watching us as we both went inside. Inside, I walked straight to the bathroom, getting out of my wet cloths and took a steaming bath. By the time I was out, Dante had ordered dinner.

"I don't know what you would want to eat, so I got chicken and coke."

Without giving him a reply, I sat down on one of the couches, and began to eat. The chicken sure was tasty and I cleared out the box before I knew what I had done.

"Morgan..."

"I'm not in my best mood Dante. Leave me alone." I had barely finished the sentence when I sneezed. Wow! First off, humiliation thanks to Dante, second humiliation thanks to no card, no phone, now I've caught a cold.

"I'll get you medications." He got up from the couch he was sitting on and left the room. I exhaled and laid on the couch looking at the ceiling. In less than two minutes, he was back with the cold medication. From the fridge, he got me a bottle of water. He was about to open it when I took the bottle from him.

"I can take it from here." I said to him, taking the cold medication and lying back on the couch.

"You can have the bed." He got up, and got some blankets which he used to cover himself as he laid on one of the couches. If he said I could have the bed, why wouldn't I?

The bed was soft, but my bed back home was much more comfortable. I laid there for minutes, not knowing how long I had been turning uncomfortably on the bed. After some hours, I got up from the bed and went back to the couch I had been lying on. The next time I opened my eyes, it was morning. The couch seemed much more comfortable than the bed.

Dante was no where to be seen, so I took my bath, and settled for a cream coloured suit with pearls around the waist and rose gold jewelry. The shoe was also a cream coloured red bottom. I was curling my hair when Dante returned with breakfast.

"Good morning." He said to me with a smile

"Morning."

"I went to get breakfast..."

"I'll pass." I responded, not sparing him a glance as I still curling my hair.

"Okay." He left for the bathroom, dropping whatever it was he got for breakfast on the table. His bathe was quite quick and he was through with his dressing by the time I finished curling my hair. I adorned my ear with some pearl earrings and added some hair wax to my edges. With a cream bag, I was more than ready to go.

There!

Wait, my card and my phone. I couldn't beat what happened to me to repeat itself.

"You're ready." Dante said when he spotted me.

"And so are you." I responded. "Shall we?" Before he could I've me an answer, I was out of the room, heading outside towards the car.

My phone began to ring, turning the heads of all in the room to me.

"I'm sorry " I whispered, silencing the call. I looked at the screen and the name I saw drew bile to my throat. I declined the call with annoyance, and silenced my phone. I hadn't dropped it when it began to vibrate in my bag. Dammit!! Didn't she have something better to do?

I excuse myself, moving to the restroom to take the call. "What do you want?"

"Put Dante on the line please."" What the hell?!

"I believe you have his number!" I hung up, turning to leave when I phone began to vibrate again. "What?! I hope you know I'm in the middle of a meeting."

"Why don't you want to put me on the line with Dante?" She asked.

"Call him." I was about to hang up when she spoke

"His phone's switched off. And I figured since you were in a trip as business partners..." With a lot of stress on the business partners. "I figured I could reach him through you."

"Well you can't. Wait until his phone's back on, then you can speak to him."

"Ohh... Don't tell me you're jealous. Are you?" Did I just walk out of an important meeting to listen to crap? "Or do you still have feelings for him?"The amusement in her voice was something way more than mockery. I hung up before she could say anything else, and blocked her. I wondered why I even had her number in the first place.

I walked back to the meeting which thankfully, ended well with a supplier of our own. It was late afternoon by the time all was over. We were to leave the next day, but I wasn't one to leave a place of vacation without souvenir. I had to get something for my dad, Cole, Miranda and myself. Sabrina crossed my mind, but I rules her name off the paper.

"I'll drop at the entrance of that supermarket." The supermarket name was in Korean, but I could at least make out the word 'mateu' from all that was written there. He got out with me, making look at him questioningly. "What are you doing?"

"I'll wait for you."

"Did I tell you I needed a body guard or a babysitter?"

"A babysitter?"

"When I'm done with what I'm here to do, I'll meet you at the hotel, and we'll go back together. But for now, I'm fine."

I turned round, walking into the supermarket, picking anything I knew Cole and Miranda would love from the shelves.

I got to the tea section, taking packs of different flavours of tea. My dad and I were tea people, so he would be glad to have a lot of flavours on his desk for him to choose from. The arrangement of the fruit section was what drew my attention. The fruits there were arrayed based on colour, making the colour combination eye candy for customers. I picked a couple fruits, cute notebooks, pens and some other things of worth, and went to pay.

"Here." I gave the sales girl my card. It made a sound that meant trouble. That sound was only made by a declined card. My card could not be saying declined.

"Your card is being declined ma'am."

"Try it again please." I said to her.

Declined. What the hell?
