The car pulled up at Grand Duke Hotel, its night lights dazzling, a scenery that lifted her heart.
A guard came over and pulled the door open for her, with a curt bow. Taking a deep breath she stepped down, her gaze swept the hotel's surrounding.
She walked through the lobby which was unexpectedly too quiet as though the hotel was out of guests.
"Welcome ma'am." The receptionist greeted, her gaze brimming with admiration and a touch of emotion Jessica couldn't place.
"Thank you," she muttered with a curt nod while she made her way towards the elevator.
Surprisingly, a guard stood by the elevator. Seeing her approach, he bowed respectfully pressing the elevator door.
Standing quietly in the elevator, Jessica's gaze trained on the number as the elevator ascended, her grip tightening slightly on the clutch in her hand, her heart raced with trepidation.
