Ash's pov ;
As we entered the reception area, we were immediately greeted by a welcoming middle-aged lady. Her polite smile and warm demeanour made us feel right at home.
"Good evening," she said graciously, addressing both me and Elijah. "We have been expecting you and are thrilled to welcome you to our resort."
"Thank you," replied Elijah, flashing a charming smile. "We are looking forward to our stay here."
I could feel his hand gently sliding down my back as he spoke, causing my cheeks to flush with warmth. The staff members in the reception area glanced at us with curious looks, making me feel slightly self-conscious.
I shot a glare at Elijah, but he simply ignored me with a mischievous grin on his face.
It was then that I noticed the entire area was completely empty except for the staff. There were no other guests and not a single sound could be heard.
"Please follow me," the lady said politely, turning to walk ahead of us.
