Chapter 2 Experience


    As Elsa was thinking, she turned around to the small hall. There were only six tables present, and a


    waiter who was assigned to take the people inside for dinner. After all, since the hall was only booked


    tomorrow, the business could still run today.


    "Excuse me, can I cancel a room reservation?" Elsa asked once she walked over to the reception


    table.


    "What''s the date?" the receptionist asked politely.


    "The one for tonight," she answered apologetically. Her parents were supposed to be here tonight. She


    lived in the staff dormitory of herpany, which wasn''t convenient for them so she booked a ce


    here. However, since they said that they''de a dayte, the room would just be a waste of


    resources.


    "I''m sorry, Miss. It''s almost noon now, so the hundred percent refund isn''t avable." There was a


    pause. "If you really want the refund, I could get you 50% only."


    Elsa took a deep breath. Well, there was no point in canceling it now. Plus, she also heard how there


    was a free breakfast buffet aligned with the room. There were also unlimited supplies of American


    mashed potatoes and waffles, a favorite of Jane Liang and Little Bun.


    She smiled at the thought as she dialed the number. "Jane, are you on duty tonight?"


    "No. The flu a few days ago was just rampant, so I got a few days off for my work during the week, just


    in time for your wedding. Why? Got some ns for your bachelorette party?" Her teasing voice went in


    the line.


    "That''s exactly what I''m here for."


    Jane Liang burst outughing. "I know you so well. So, which restaurant?"


    "Actually, since my parents areing tomorrow and the hotel room I booked for them are avable


    now, I was wondering you and Little Bun would want to stay the night? Plus, they serve waffles!"


    "You know just what we want!" Jane Liang waved her hands up in the air. She and Little Bun had


    always loved waffles. "Is Uncle Johnson alright?"


    "He''s okay, but he still needs to take the traditional medicine every day. Since my Mom thinks it''s


    unlucky to take medicine before the wedding, she postponed their arrival till tomorrow."


    Once she got everything settled, Elsa decided to buy some more clothes for the wedding tomorrow.


    Given that she was a journalist for the society pages, she needed clothes that were convenient and


    comfortable to walk around as well as formal enough just in case an interview were to pop up on her


    schedule. Therefore she only had business suits, pajamas, and a few more evening gowns.

    She had bought an improved edition of the traditional cheongsam for the wedding ceremony tomorrow


    night, a mix of the traditional one and a long dress. It was knitted intricately with all the high-ss


    embroideries, which looked extremely beautiful. However, she had nothing to wear for the holiday


    tomorrow night.


    Greenwood had thought that it was too troublesome to go to a honeymoon and she agreed. However,


    even if she were at home, she still needed to wear something else.


    The money for the new clothes was given to her by her parents. No matter how much she had rejected,


    they directly transferred twenty thousand to her ount, requiring her to buy some new outfits for


    Greenwood and herself. It was customary for the bride''s parents to pay for the wedding outfits of the


    new couple. When Greenwood heard about it, heughed out loud and picked his tuxedo, waiting for


    her to pay.


    To cover the 10,000, she used her own card, not her parent''s cash.


    The cheongsam she had chosen for herself was cheaper – costing 800, but it still looked really nice.


    As she walked out of the gates of the hotel, two tall men passed by her. Due to their height, it was


    difficult to look up and see who they were, so she just simply ignored them. As they left, she saw a lone


    card lying on the ground. When she picked it up to take a closer look, she realized that it was a room


    card.


    "What?" She looked around, only to see that the two were gone.


    On second thought, it would be safer to hand it over to the front desk. She was about to turn back when


    somebody called her.


    "Elsa, you''re here!" Greenwood approached her. "I didn''t expect that you''d arrive so early."


    "I wanted to buy a few more clothes. Since you were in a meeting, I didn''t tell you." She noticed that


    Greenwood seemed a little unhappy when he heard about her little shopping escapade. He was a


    frugal man, a trait that she knew when she dated him. "Only for the wedding," she added.


    "No, I didn''t mean that. If you dress up beautifully, it''s for me to enjoy, right?" Greenwood quickly


    responded, beaming at her.


    Elsa smiled. He ced a hand on her shoulders. "Let''s go inside and have a drink. I have something to


    tell you."


    She froze when his fingers slid down her arms. Elsa was still unustomed to being held by him. A


    part of her wanted to push him away, but it''d be too impolite. Plus, it would seem weird.


    Ron Qin burst intoughter at the sight as he slung an arm around Soren Wang''s shoulders. "Look at


    that awkward couple. They look terribly mismatched. I think it''s time we find you a perfect match. Isn''t


    that a great idea?"


    Soren Wang followed his gaze only to see the woman who he had met just this morning. She ordered a


    cup of coffee while the man in front of her ordered a ss of water. Her hand was being held by the


    man in front of her, and Soren could sense the ufortableness on her stance.


    He then turned away.


    "Hey, Soren, don''t be like that. Let''s go to the Food and Beverages Department and you can write me


    up a report, what do you say? I don''t want anything to happen with my wedding with Coco in three


    months, so I was hoping you''de with me to inspect."


    "Let''s go to the F&B Department." Soren took the lead.


    Once they went out of the F&B Department, Ron Qin finally remembered to reward Soren with a cup of


    coffee. While he was ordering, he got a call from Chloe Xu, his fiancee, so he excused himself.


    Unintentionally, they were sitting at a table right in front of Greenwood and Elsa, so Soren could get a


    better look at them. The cafe was very quiet, with only the sound of the piano echoing throughout the


    room. However, Soren could hear their voices, even if they were talking in low whispers.


    "Get married", "the wedding ceremony of tomorrow night", "my parents can''t arrive until tomorrow", "ask


    for a leave for the wedding", "can''t cancel the hotel room"...


    These were the words Soren started to piece together as they continued to speak.


    He couldn''t help but feel a little annoyed at their conversation so he walked over to the balcony to


    gather from fresh air.


    He didn''t notice that Greenwood had also followed him out. Greenwood paid no attention to the man


    with him on the balcony as his eyes were only focused on Elsa''s movements.


    "Yes, Mom, I''m talking to her. It''s a prettyrge issue, okay? Can I just break it to her gradually? How


    do you think she''ll bear it?" There was pure reluctance in Greenwood''s voice.


    Soren raised an eyebrow, suddenly interested in what he had to say.


    "Plus, you secretly took her health report. She has difficulty in getting pregnant. It''s not that she can''t.


    She already told me of this, so I don''t think it''s appropriate that I''ll call it off just for a simple matter."


    The other line was literally screaming into Greenwood''s ear. Even Soren could hear the lectureing


    off the other end of the line. It seemed that it was an issue that they continually talked about.


    Greenwood took the phone far away from his ear, scrunching his eyebrows. "Fine. I''ll tell her, okay? I''ll


    ask the headmaster''s daughter tomorrow."


    After he hung up, Greenwood hesitated. Elsa was a suitable wife. She had a high degree and a good-


    paying job. Plus, her family were of good background. His mother, however, just had to discover of her


    health report. He had waited for several days to break the news with her, but he was afraid that if he


    did, he would not find another suitable woman. Plus, he was nning on bedding her just before the


    marriage.


    With the wedding date fast approaching, it was getting harder and harder to break the news when she


    already prepared so much. He paced around the balcony before walking in.


    However, even then, he still hadn''t broken the news. They continued to lounge around andugh.


    Seeing the scene, Soren couldn''t help but frown.


    Greenwood still couldn''t muster up the courage. "Let''s go get some lunch. I heard that there''s a new


    restaurant with good beef rice noodles."


    Elsa nodded. There were lunch menus in the cafe but they were just too expensive. She stood up. "I''ll


    go to the restroom first."


    "Go ahead. I''ll wait for you here." He smiled cidly.


    Elsa took her bag and walked into the restroom. The room card she had picked up was now on the


    table. At the same time, Greenwood couldn''t help but ce it in the pocket of his shirt.


    ''I can just tell her tonight in bed?'' He shrugged. Women were always much easier to coax at night,


    plus maybe then, he''d be able to take advantage of it. Besides, Elsa was already twenty-seven. He


    didn''t believe that she never had any experience beforehand. However, even then, it was incredibly


    difficult for him to ask her to be physical with him.


    With that, the man sat back, having a n of his own.
