You're Our Light...

chapter 9

Naira's Point of View...

I arrive at LAX Airport at 2 pm and by the time I pass through security, it is 3 pm.

I am given the rest of the day off and will start tomorrow with my job whilst I am here.

Outside the airport, Chunho-ssi is standing and waiting. I and 4 other staff members walk towards him and he leads us to a mini van.

When we reach the hotel Chunho-ssi hands the 4 stylists 2 keys since they will be sharing 2 rooms before telling me to stay because he has something to discuss with me.
He leads me to the elevator and presses the 8th-floor button.

"Since you'll tutor the members while you're here, you'll share a suite. Who is the project manager whilst the members are here in the US. " Chunho-ssi informs me while opening the door to the room.

Once the door is open I am led inside by him. There is a small kitchenette that included two counters, a mini fridge, a kettle and a variety of teas and coffees. A sitting area is located in the middle of the room with two doors on either side.
"Your room is on the left side of the room. The bellhop left your luggage there." Chunho-ssi points to indicate which room before I could ask any more questions he is gone with a quick I will message you later. I have to rush off."

As I enter there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window to the right of the room with an amazing view of the garden area of the hotel. There is a desk in front of the bed with a mirror above it. A tiny walk-in closet opposite the bathroom is on the left.

I decide to have a shower first and then grab some lunch maybe even buy some things I need since I am here in the US.

Author's Point Of View...

Naira arrives at the hotel just before dinner with some shopping bags in her hand. She enters the suite and walks to the living area. She puts the bags away and goes to the kitchenette to grab a bottle of water and the menu.

As she entered the living area, someone else did. Someone she didn't recognize. She begins to panic, but before it escalates, she takes a deep breath and calms her racing heart before she speaks.

"Hello. Sorry for being rude, but who are you? "How did you get in?" She interrogates the man before her.

"Hello, miss. I'm the project manager for BTS while they're here in the States. I got in with my keycard." He says calmly.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry about that. The company informed me that I would share the suite but not with who I would share with. Anyway, I am Naira Singh. I am BTS's English tutor and one of their translators." Naira says with both embarrassment and shock in her tone of voice.

"It is fine I understand. Good to meet you Naira. I am Adrian Miller. He holds his hand for a handshake.

"It is nice to meet you too Adrian." Naira reciprocates the handshake.
As soon as she pulled her hand back from the handshake she heard the ring of her phone indicating that she had just received a message from Chunho telling her to meet him in the restaurant on the 2nd floor in 10 minutes. Which left plenty of time to freshen up.
"Why don't we get dinner together?" Adrian asks her.
"I can't make it today I am so sorry. Maybe we can schedule it for another day." Naira informs him politely.
"Yeah, sure." He responds to her.

Naira touches up her make-up and changes into a green sweater before she leaves. She grabs her handbag and leaves.
"Good evening mam, table for?" The hostess greets Naira as she enters the restaurant.
"Good evening. I am meeting someone. Is there a reservation for Mr Chunho Kim?" She responds politely.
"Oh, Mr Kim right this way mam."
The hostess leads Naira to Chunho's table.
Naira sits on the chair opposite him.
"Thank you so much." Naira thanks the hostess as she walks away.
"No problem mam. Enjoy the rest of your night." The hostess replies with gratitude.
"You as well." Naira smiles and the hostess leaves.
