Chapter 28 - Luxurious Living


    Arthur continued to drive his car at an exceptionally rapid pace, and up ahead, he noticed a multi-level


    highway that would likely hinder the Helicopter from catching up with him.


    The police cars that had been pursuing him were now far behind, giving him very little time to find a


    way to escape their pursuit.


    Arthur attempted to pull up alongside another car, then he rolled down his window and shouted, "I''ll


    give you five times what you paid for your car!"


    "What!? Are you kidding me?" the man driving the BMW Z29, arge ck car, shouted in response to


    Arthur''s offer. Astonished, he watched as Arthur quickly sped up and overtook him, eventually pulling


    over ahead of him.


    Arthur pulled over to the emergency road section, and he and udina quickly got out of the car, still


    tightly holding hands. The man in the BMW also stepped out with ease.


    "What, udina? Wait?" the man said, appearing to be confused at the sight of udina.


    "I''ll pay you five times as much for this car!" Arthur eximed.


    The man was about to utter something when Arthur and udina quickly jumped into his car.


    "What''s the ount number?" Arthur asked urgently.


    Without wasting any time, the man quickly recited his ount number and then Arthur drove off in the


    BMW.


    "What? Is this a dream? I can''t be scammed, can I? That was really udina!"


    The man felt his phone vibrate, and upon checking it, he realized that he had received a transfer of


    funds worth five times the price of his car!


    "What the hell! I''m not dreaming!" he eximed.


    The man inspected the car belonging to the man who had been with udina earlier, finding it securely


    locked. He was perplexed as to why that guy had unexpectedly parked it on the side of the highway.


    Just as he was wondering how he was going to get home, he heard the ring of police sirens in the


    distance. Within moments, he was encircled by police cars and officers, who shouted, "Don''t move! Put


    your hands up!"


    He desperately responded, "Wait! Wait! I''m innocent!"


    Gliding safely, Arthur and udina managed to evade the police cars and the helicopter that had been


    chasing them. udina''s face lit up with relief, and she turned to Arthur, her expression now one of a


    smile. "I didn''t think you''d actually be able to solve this problem with money, Mr. Arthur," she said.


    Arthur turned to udina, his brows raised in surprise. "Really? Is that what you think?"


    "Ah!" udina''s cheeks reddened as she realized she had put her foot in her mouth. "No, I mean,


    seeing you drive like that, I wouldn''t be surprised if you said you were a professional racer.


    Nheless, I can see you know how to make the most of your money and take care of things, even


    when I hadn''t even considered it myself."


    For the first time that night, Arthur finally let out a chuckle from his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Yes... thank God... we escaped," he said. "I think we should go home and rest."


    He looked back at udina while still driving the car, though at a slower speed than before. "Would you


    like something to eat, udina?" he asked.


    "Hmmm.... Yes," udina replied, her face brightening with amusement. "I''m feeling quite drained with


    all the action scenes we''ve been doing, but I think I''m still up for it." She let out a relieved breath before


    continuing. "Would you like to try my cooking, Mr. Arthur?"


    Although udina had experience cooking in the orphanage, she wasn''t very confident. Singing was


    her favorite activity, but preparing food was a close second. That night, she felt the need to relieve her


    tension by cooking. Perhaps it was her way of expressing gratitude to Arthur for everything.


    udina fell silent, feeling that the ce Arthur was taking her to was the perfect spot to get a meal


    and stay the night. "My cooking surely won''tpare to that ce," she thought to herself. "Have I


    made the wrong offer?" she wondered.


    "That will be fun!" Arthur answered enthusiastically. "There''s no way I could possibly refuse Ms.


    udina''s generous offer to cook dinner for me, right?"


    udina was taken aback by Arthur''s answer, studying his face illuminated by the streetlights they


    passed. He seemed almost too perfect, a man of unquantifiable wealth, yet disying a modesty that


    was either genuine or a cleverly-crafted facade.


    "Do you really want to try my cooking, Mr. Arthur?" udina asked quietly, her voice barely above a


    whisper.


    Arthur chuckled softly in response to udina''s question. "Yes, definitely," he said with a smile. "You


    need to cook for me twice, since I helped you out twice. Don''t try to be sneaky."


    udina felt that she was too suspicious of many people; she was silent, trying topose herself and


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    her emotions. Was she being too prejudicial towards others?


    She reflected on the various experiences she had encountered throughout her life and pondered,


    "Didn''t I get more opportunities than most people?"


    udina pondered if she had been ungrateful and unable to recognize the blessings that always


    surrounded her.


    udina wondered if it was too difficult to let someone into her life; even when someone had risked


    their lives to save her, she still suspected them of ulterior motives. She felt remorseful for her


    assumptions about Arthur and closed her eyes. "I have to apologize to Arthur," she thought.


    The car Arthur was driving then approached the most luxurious hotel in the city, the Golden Chamber


    hotel. He pulled into the VIP parking lot, where he also spotted the limited edition car he had recently


    purchased.


    Arthur shed a smile as he opened the car door and extended his hand to help udina out. Smiled


    as he helped udina out of the car.


    They stepped into a VIP elevator and soon arrived at the impressive structure''s highest level. On this


    floor, there were multiple rooms on all sides, filled with luxury items, plush couches, a television, a


    minibar, a kitchen, and all the necessary amenities - as if an elegant home had been ced on this


    floor.


    Arthur walked over to a smallmunication device mounted on the wall near a bar counter. "Please


    bring pajamas for a woman," he said, thoughtfully tapping his finger against the device. He then turned


    to udina and added, "The size should be appropriate for Edna''s body, and bring them to my room,


    please."


    He requested the hotel maid, who was his employee, to bring a change of clothes for udina.


    Despite being no stranger to luxury, udina was still captivated by the room. It was her first time


    setting foot in the Golden Chamber, and she was astonished by all thevish amenities in such arge


    space.


    "It must be nice to stay in this room," she remarked with a hint of admiration.


    "It must be," Arthur agreed with a nod.


    "udina," Arthur said quietly, pointing towards one of the rooms, "you may use the room on the other


    end. I''m going to take a quick dip in the bathtub and, when I''m done, we can have dinner, okay?"


    "Uh!" udina looked taken aback, and then she nodded slowly. "Thanks, Mr. Arthur," she responded


    with a grateful smile.
