It was five pm in the evening when Samar strode into the hotel lobby. A charming look on the face contradicted the malicious thoughts lurking around in the back of his head. He stopped at the reception, his elbow propping itself on the desk as he waited for the woman's attention.
"Sorry, sir," the woman smiled sheepishly as she stepped in front of him after attending the last guest asking for help.
"It's fine, I understand." He waved his hand dismissively, his sweet honey brown eyes softening slightly. "Did you talk with the manager? Is it okay if I use that?" He pointed at the classy black piano in the lobby.
"Oh, yes!" She nodded her head. "By all means, please." She motioned her hand towards the instrument.
"Thank you," he grinned. "Tonight, after the dinner then." He winked, stepping back and shoving his hands in his pockets. The curve of his lips twitched when his hand touched the motionless phone, reminding him of her unwillingness to contact him. "See you," he composed himself in a split second, aware of the blush coating the lady's pale cheeks and stalked towards the bank of the elevators.
He stepped in, poising himself in the center of the elevator as the doors closed and the metal box ascended. It stopped on the third floor and he walked out, his indistinct shadow following him. He halted in front of his suite and pulled out the slick card from the front of his blazer, swiping it against the slit and walking inside when the door clicked open.
