The Undefined Love

Though Lifen was suspicious of how things were going but there wasn't any choice. They were really exhausted from the long air flight and really needed a good rest since they have to leave for North Devon in the evening, where Guang's engagement and wedding is scheduled. So ignoring her suspicions, he told the driver to take them to the hotel. It was very early in the morning and she have no heart to way little Erica this early. She turned to look at her friend and she has already dozed off. Leaning her head over the window. Lifen slowly adjusted herself a little near to Daiyu, and then carefully lifted her head in order to not wake her up and made the girl's head lean on her shoulders that way she won't have a stiff neck after she wakes up. Getting a comfortable thing to lean, Daiyu adjusted herself a little more in her sleep and got into a more deep sleep. A smile was curling her lips upwards which made Lifen smile too. 'This girl is not gonna change!' she said in her heart and then looked out the window. Soon the car came to halt out a luxury hotel named Tulip Hyde Park. She have heard that this was one of the 7 star hotels in London, but never thought Erica will go book her room here. It's not that she is snobbish in spending money to such extent, it's just finds it not too useful. And Erica knew it then why did she book her room in such a luxury hotel when she was here just for few hours and will be checking out in the evening. She softly looked at her friend and waked her up, "Daiyu we are here. Let's go to our room and then you can sleep more comfortably" Rubbing her eyes, Daiyu opened her eyes and her eyes got wide open as if she hasn't slept all her way her. "Dear…dear, pinch me fast. Am I seeing things? Or are we really going to stay here? This…this is THE TULIP HYDE PARK. You know many blockbuster Hollywood movies as well as from our country has shot here." Lifen looked at her friend's expression in amus.e.m.e.nt. Her expression can be compared to the expression of an alien who has come to find a beautiful planet Earth. She quickly pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of her so she can always have a memory of her this different expression. Daiyu was so excited that she didn't paid attention when her friend took her picture. Her eyes were glued to the beautiful, lively architecture of the 7 – star hotel. "Ummm I guess we are living here because Erica has arranged this for us", Lifen said as she gestured the driver to get their bags from the car trunk. Daiyu, without waiting for her friend excitedly got out and again took a good look at the beautifully lighted palace. Lifen could only smile at her friend childishness. She was looking no less than a child who has been brought to the Disney World on vacation. Shaking her head with a smile, Lifen too pushed the door open to get out of the car. But the moment the door was pushed open, two straight lines of staffs, all dressed in common restaurant dresses got arranged. It looked like it was for someone's honor. Since they have all come to line up in front of their car, Lifen got confused too. 'What exactly was going on?' Daiyu quickly walked to stand beside her friend. Her mouth was open in surprise, "Lifen I never knew you have such a privilege. But again this is my first time coming out with Li Corporation's CEO, Li Lifen. You sure have a way too much powers about which the socialites always talk about" Lifen was herself confused. Though she has a status that was liable for this type of treatment but she never used it. It was her first time too because she never cared. She was about to tell her confusion to Daiyu but before she could a man dressed in all formals come running to greet her. "Ms. Li, Welcome to Tulip Hyde Park. It's our honor to have you here. I am the manager of this hotel". Lifen gave a formal polite nod to his words and then two of the staffs came and took their bag inside. "The rooms you have booked is the best room of our hotel. Hope you enjoy our services", the manager handed them two room key cards, separately one to Lifen and another to Daiyu. Two rooms? Erica has booked two rooms. Lifen accepted the room card and then headed to the elevator along with Daiyu. "Lifen you are really great. This is not only a mission to rescue Daiyu, but has become more like a vacation for me. Thank you for booking a separate room but I wouldn't have mind if we have shared one", Daiyu said still looking at the key card. "I haven't booked it and have never thought Erica would become so concerned to opt for such high services. I think I have underestimated her over concerned reaction before", she said lightly scratching the corners of her brow. "As said your secretary is really good. So careful and concerned for you", Daiyu said with a beaming smile and moving her shoulders to and fro in some kind of inaudible music. Reaching to the designated floor, the elevator dinged open and two got out. There bags were already taken to their rooms. Lifen's room was at a little distance after Daiyu so she left made sure to settle her first and then leave, "Ahh you got a good room. Enjoy it and do take rest. We will be travelling to North Devon in the evening"  Hearing her friend's words, Daiyu nodded and then gently pushed her, "Okay I will. You too go and check your room. And rest well. Bye!!!" Closing the door after playfully pushing Lifen out. Left with no other choice Lifen got into her room. It was complete dark inside. Only the light of the entrance where she was standing was lighted, maybe because the it was enable with some AI technology. Curtains were closed to prevent light from seeping in. Lifen turned to close the door behind her but the moment, the door got closed, strong pairs of arms grabbed her waist from behind and pulled her hard towards himself. She was unable to see the face as her back was facing his front.
