939 Words
It took another 15 minutes before they arrived at Jade hotels. They stepped inside and were greeted warmly by the receptionist. Ann walked up to the receptionist and after settling all the arrangement she handed the keys over to Tracy
"Room number 306....3rd floor boss"
"Hmph"
"Boss our flight tomorrow is scheduled for 7:30am" Ann said
"Okay" Tracy replied and started walking away
"Take care boss... My hotel is just down the street in case you need anything just give me a call" Ann said hurriedly
"Okay Ann.."
Tracy took the elevator to the third floor of the building where she successful located room 306. She opened the doors and stepped in.
The presidential suite was indeed up to standard..... Tracy walked up to the lengthy double windows which were draped with white silk curtains. She pushed the curtains aside letting the warmth of the evening sun touch her fair skin. She admired the beautiful rose garden situated way beneath her window. .the roses were in full bloom. The sun shone on them making the view even more breathtaking.
She walked away from the windows and, found the bulb switch and turned it on. The grey cushions blended well with the soft white rug beneath. The glass table at the centre was the beauty of the room. The chandelier above reflected off the surface of the table. The sides were crafted in a way that it wasn't round neither was it sharp. Sne noticed that the short legs of the table were carved with various faint calligraphy writings giving it an Oriental vibe.
She stepped into the bathroom
"Hmm not bad" she said while admiring the bathtub situated on the front left corner of the bathroom. It was separated from the shower by a blurry glass. She quickly took off her clothes and soaked in the bathtub for half an hour
Tracy fell asleep on the king size bed not long after she finished taking her bath. By the time she woke up it was 9:pm
She was only wearing a thin tank top and a pair of shorts,she opened the wardrobe and saw the clothes Ann had prepared for her. She smiled and picked out a white top coupled with black jeans and headed downstairs
The black jeans Tracy wore hugged her features and accentuated her long lanky legs. Tracy Smith was about 5 foot 8 l,she was taller than the average woman and she turned the heads of many wherever she went. Her face although delicate, showed a hint of discipline and strictness she has acquired over the years. This evening, she rolled her full and luscious brown hair into a messy bun. Her eyes the same colour with her hair shone brightly due to the well deserved 3 hour nap she took. Her lips were a shade of dull pink although she had no make-up on
"Good evening miss...can I be of any assistance to you?" One of the hotel workers said to her once she reached the reception
Tracy admired the proffessionalism of the staff and inwardly praised the man who put it all in place
"yes... I was actually looking for the games area" she replied
"5th floor,the first door on your right"
"Thanks..." Tracy said and walked back to the elevator
___________________________________________
'Ding' the elevator doors opened and Tracy easily located the games area. She saw a door labelled 'snooker', pushed the glass double doors open and stepped inside. The place was filled with men with she being the only woman in the room. There were about 10 to 15 snooker boards and the entire place was dimly lit. She spotted some of the hotel workers in their uniform
She walked up to the board she had been eyeing and met two men already playing though one was about to lose
"I'm up next Mr" She said
The men looked up and eyed her for a moment before looking back at themselves and bursting into laughter
"Do you find anything funny" She asked with a straight face
One of the men calmed down enough to reply Tracy
"please miss....I suggest you look around..... this isn't where you should be... maybe you lost your way but if you come with me I can lead you back to the spa...."
Before he finished talking, the man who was losing burst into another fit of laughter and Tracy turned to him
"what exactly do you find amusing...? the fact that you can't even place your balls right..or that you let someone so inexperienced beat you at such a simple game..?" with those words the men were annoyed and put on a serious expression
"woman, leave before I do something we would both regret" the man who was winning said.
"Ha... " Tracy laughed while wearing a mischievous smirk with one side of her lips turned up "you're just a scared little cat afraid of getting beaten by a woman"
"me.. A scared little cat "the man pointed to himself then turned to the man who was losing "billy, hand over the stick to her.....she thinks she can beat me at my own game" with that Billy quietly handed the stick to Tracy who assumed his position in the game
"new game" the man said
"nope,I'll finish up with this one"
Noticing what had happened, few men had gathered around them to watch the game
"Miss there's only one shot left" a bystander said
"I am aware"
"if you miss this shot,you lose" her opponent said to her
"we'll see...."she replied
Unknown to Tracy,a pair of eyes had been watching her since she stepped into the room
