Nori entered the car park, scanning her surroundings, but found nothing of interest. Boredom quickly set in, prompting her to consider leaving.
However, just as she was about to leave, a stylish, luxurious black sedan smoothly entered the parking lot, capturing attention with its elegant presence.
As the car stopped, the door opened, revealing a figure of undeniable charm. A tall, incredibly attractive man stepped out of the vehicle, radiating confidence and sophistication.
Though not very young, his wealth had clearly helped him perform miracles on his appearance.
He wore a sleek black suit and walked with a confident stride, exuding an authoritative aura.
Approaching the parking attendant stationed near the hotel door, the man spoke with a commanding presence.
"Good evening. I would like to book a conference room for a business meeting and have my car cleaned before I am done with the meeting."
"Okay, sir. We can take care of that. Please go into the reception and make the necessary payments. We will take care of the rest," the attendant replied respectfully.
"Okay," the man replied, and confidently walked into the hotel.
Nori, who had been watching everything, was intrigued. Just then, the attendant turned to a valet standing beside her and gave him some instructions. The valet left and returned a few minutes later with another person.
Caught up in admiring the black sedan, Nori's attention was immediately drawn to the person the valet had called. She looked at him and was rendered speechless by his stunning good looks.
Her heart pounded, and her jaw dropped as she was mesmerized by the insanely handsome hunk standing beside the black sedan.
Nori found herself captivated by the guy, observing his every action until he finished speaking with the attendant and left the parking lot.
As he walked away, it felt as though she had been in a dream and had just snapped out of it.
It was at that moment that she became aware of her thirst, a sensation that had eluded her until now.
Nori, who had returned to reality, felt her parched throat and decided to quench her thirst at the hotel bar by ordering a refreshing smoothie.
As she walked back to the parking lot, she took a sip of her drink and looked up, only to be met with the sight of the guy she had been admiring earlier, shirtless.
Instantly, she choked on her drink, coughing and wheezing before finally managing to catch her breath.
Her eyes were drawn to his perfectly sculpted six-pack and his impeccably shaped chest, at that moment he looked like a Greek god who had graced humanity with his presence.
It was as if she was beholding a beautiful work of art.
The guy. noticing her distress, approached her and asked,
"Excuse me, are you okay?" His voice was delicate yet undeniably masculine, causing Nori to feel a wave of desire wash over her.
She wanted nothing more than to melt into his arms at that very moment, but she struggled to find the right words to respond.
"I'm fine, thank you," she managed to utter, her voice slightly shaky. Grateful for his concern, she followed his guidance and took a seat, while he returned to finish his task with the car.
Nori sat there for a little while, watching the guy meticulously clean the Sedan.
Just as he finished with the car, Nori felt the urge to go and talk with him.
However, before she could stand up from her chair, she received a call from her mum. Her mum was concerned about her whereabouts as it was getting late and Nori had not returned to the hotel room yet.
Nori was clearly angry with her mom for calling her at that moment, but she took a deep breath and let it go, deciding to go back to the hotel room.
As she walked in, her parents called her over and asked her to sit on their bed. Her mom spoke first, her voice filled with love and nostalgia.
"Nori, my darling, I remember the day I gave birth to you.
After you were born, you cried like every normal baby. But when the nurses cleaned you up and brought you to me, you started smiling and giggling, and it made me incredibly happy.
Since that day, you have brought us nothing but joy. You are a genius like your father and beautiful like me. Not that I'm not smart, but you get the point," her mom said, holding Nori's hand.
"I am so proud of you, and I always will be. As you head off to college and start this new journey, I want you to continue making us proud.
Be diligent, focus on your studies, and try to reduce the boyfriend drama. We both know it's impossible to completely remove it from the picture, but never forget who you are.
It will be challenging and sometimes painful, but always remember that we are proud of you, rooting for you, and we believe in you.
Believe in yourself, my darling. I love you," her mom finished, her eyes filled with tears.
Her father then turned to Nori, picking up where her mother had left off. His voice was filled with warmth and pride.
"Nori, my precious daughter, your mother has said it all. We are truly proud of you, and I cannot find the words to describe how happy I am to have witnessed your growth into the brilliant, beautiful, and strong-willed woman you are today.
This new journey you are about to embark on will not be easy. It will be hard, challenging, and at times, grueling.
But I have no doubt that you have the strength and determination to overcome any obstacles and come out successful.
Make us proud, my darling, and always remember that we love you," her father said, pulling her into a tight hug.
Her mother joined in the embrace, and in that moment, Nori felt a surge of love and support from her parents and she was very happy.
She knew that no matter what challenges she faced in college, she would always have their unwavering belief in her. With renewed determination, Nori smiled and thanked her parents for their words of encouragement. She was ready to take on this new chapter of her life and make them proud.
The Next Day
Nori and her parents woke up around seven in the morning and got ready to leave by eight.
By eight o'clock, they checked out of the hotel and ordered a taxi to pick them up and drop them off at Calvary Hills, which was not far from the hotel.
After about twenty minutes, the taxi driver parked in front of the school around eight-thirty, so they had arrived thirty minutes earlier than the scheduled time of nine.
Nori walked to the school gate and signed in for her entrance.
She submitted the necessary documents and was given a file that she needed to submit at the faculty, along with other copies of her documents.
After completing these tasks, Nori and her parents were allowed into the school grounds.
A shuttle within the school came to her and helped her put her things in the car. The driver then told them to get in.
As soon as they did, the driver greeted them, saying, "Good morning, dear, and good morning, parents."
"Good morning, Nori and her parents," they chorused.
"Great! So, please, which course are you here to study?" the driver asked.
Nori's father, with a displeased tone, wondered why a driver would ask such a question. "Is that information necessary?" he questioned.
"Oh, my apologies, sir. I understand your displeasure. As a driver, I have to ask in order to know which faculty to drop you off," the driver explained.
"Oh, no problem. I understand. Nori, please answer the kind man's question," Nori's father said.
"Okay, Dad," Nori replied. "I am here to study Law."
"Law? Are you sure that is your course?" the driver questioned.
"Yes, I am sure," Nori confidently replied.
"Okay," the driver said and continued to drive until he reached a huge building with the words "The Faculty of Law" written boldly on it.
He stopped the car and said, "We're here.
"Nori and her parents stepped out of the shuttle and retrieved Nori's things from the car.
Nori stared in amazement at the size of the faculty building and then walked in.
When they reached the entrance, Nori's parents were stopped by security and informed that only students were allowed to enter with the necessary documents requested by the school.
Nori confidently walked in with her documents in hand and proceeded with her registration.
An hour later, Nori emerged from the building and excitedly informed her parents that she had successfully completed her registration and received clearance for the hostel.
As she walked away. Nori couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment and excitement, knowing that her journey at the school had officially begun.
