The woman named Martha acted as if she didn't hear me. Instead, she called another woman and told her to bring in some snacks.
"There's no need for that. I'm not hungry," I told her.
"It's okay. Dmitri ordered me to take care of you," she smiled.
What? Why would he even do that?!
Images of how he cornered me on the plane flashed inside my head. Suddenly, I felt the heat creeping up from my neck up to my face. It didn't stop until it reached my scalp and chest!
Damn that man!
"He won't take long. Make yourself comfortable for the meantime," the old woman seemed to be friendly. "Do you want to wait for him in the lanai?"
"No," I shook my head immediately. I didn't want to intrude. "I'm fine here," I forced a smile on my lips before taking a seat.
"Okay. I'll leave you for a while,"
