At a glance, people must think Altair and JM were lovers. Ah ... they did like each other, but since both of them were still very young, Altair was only 16 years old and JM was 15 years old; they hadn't thought about officially dating.
Their parents had given them lengthy advice over and over again not to think about love and dating at such a young age. Nicolae and Alaric even said their children must wait at least until they are a century old before they could even think about falling in love.
So, of course, Altair and JM always acted like they were just very close friends.
Vega felt that even though neither of them was dating... yet, it wouldn't if she made their schoolmates think Altair already had a girlfriend so they would stop chasing him. Vega was tired of all the confessions from girls and endless fights with other boys. It would only happen if they thought he already had a girlfriend.
Now, who would be the best person to spread the gossip to the whole school that Altair had a girlfriend, if not Tatiana? She was very active on social media and had millions of followers. Ha.
That was why Vega was waiting until Tatiana arrived at the Nobel hotel before she told Altair and JM to go up to the suite. Vega's face was adorned with an amused smile when she saw Tatiana look shocked when Altair and JM walked hand in hand very intimately. She even took some photos too.
"This will solve our problem," Vega thought. She did not like it that Altair was often engaged in childish boys fights in school just because the girls who had a crush on him. According to Vega, this could be a solution.
[Tatiana, where are you guys?] She then sent an SMS to Tatiana.
A few minutes later came a reply from her friend.
[Uhm ... we just passed by Nobel Hotel. Are you guys still there? Why didn't I see you?]
[I'm still here. Did you see my brother?]
[Yes. He was walking, holding hands with a gorgeous girl. Who is she?]
[That's Jean-Marie. She is Altair's girlfriend. She is a model and is in Paris for a modeling job. Altair saved up his allowance for months to afford this study trip to Paris so he could see her.]
Vega laughed to herself. In their whole life, they had never had to save for anything. Both of them were born in one of the world's wealthiest families.
[Oh, I see. Why did you never tell me that Altair already has a girlfriend? The girls at our school chased after him thinking he was single.]
[Ouch. Altair is a very private person. He will never confess to something like this. That's it ... Where are you going now?]
[We want to take a walk to the River Seine. Do you want to come along?]
[Uhm ... I'm too lazy to walk. I also promised to meet Jean-Marie. I just gave them a little time together first ... hehehe. Have a nice walk.]
She put down her phone. Ah ... one problem solved.
Vega paid for their drinks and then left the lounge to catch up with her brother and JM. She pressed the button to open the elevator door. At the same time, a man's hand also reached for the button.
"Eh ...?" Both stared at each other in surprise. The man then nodded and let Vega push the elevator button.
Vega nodded back and pressed it. The elevator door then opened, and she entered, followed by the man. He stood near all the floor number buttons and pressed the 30th floor. When Vega was also about to press her floor button, she realized that she left the access card JM gave her in the lounge.
"Ouch ..." A soft sigh came out of her lips. It was too late to get out because the elevator was sliding slowly up, the man had pressed the number of the floor he was going to.
"Which floor are you on?" Suddenly the man's voice was heard. For a moment, Vega was stunned. This person's voice sounded very pleasant. You could say this man had a warm voice and it sounded very pleasant to the ear. Subconsciously, the girl turned and looked at him without blinking. The man furrowed his brows and smiled. "Which floor?"
"Eh ... Twenty ..." Vega hadn't had a chance to mention the number five, the guy had pressed the button for 20th floor. The girl hurriedly corrected him. "Twenty-five."
"Oh ..." The man looked embarrassed for being in a hurry. He smiled again and pressed the button for 25th floor. "Sorry, I'm too rash."
At that time, Vega was eager to ask him questions to hear his voice again. She really liked the man's voice. It was so nice to hear!
His face was even nicer to look at. His wavy blond hair framed his very handsome face. He was probably in his mid-thirties, and he looked very cool, clad in all-black attire.
The top button of his shirt opened and slightly revealed a small silver dreamcatcher hanging from a leather strap around his neck. This uncle looks so sexy, Vega thought. He is like a model in a men's magazine.
Ahh ... Gosh, Vega ... The girl pinched herself. She did not know why she could gawk at this older man. Behave, Vega.
"Thank you ... Uhmm ... Are you working at this hotel, Uncle?" Vega asked with her beautiful eyes went round. "How can you open all floors?"
As far as Vega knew, each floor button on a hotel elevator could only be opened using access cards by the occupants of the rooms on the respective floor. Earlier, this guy pressed the 30th-floor button, which meant he was staying on the 30th floor.
However, as it turned out, he could also open two other floor buttons. Vega could only draw the conclusion that the man was not actually a guest but a hotel staff holding a master key access card that could open all floors.
The man looked stunned and realized his mistake. He just shook his head slightly and smiled, not answering.
