Chasing Dreams: A Tale of Dreaming Big

Chapter ten

After finishing our delightful lunch, we made our way back to our rooms, basking in the satisfaction of the meal we had just enjoyed. The sushi was a real highlight, and I couldn't help but think it was the best sushi I had ever tasted. Its fresh flavors and expertly crafted rolls were truly remarkable. To complement our savory meal, we were also treated to a delightful dessert that exceeded our expectations and was the perfect ending to our lunch.

"I love lunch!" I said joyfully, feeling truly happy and satisfied from the fantastic food we had experienced.

"I know!" Chloe responded with enthusiasm, her eyes lit up with excitement. "That was the best meal I've had in a long time."

As we ambled along, chatting about the delicious food, I spotted an Australian shepherd making its way toward us. The dog boasted a stunning coat with a blend of white, brown, and black or gray fur that caught my attention. Accompanying the dog was a boy who looked to be about Chloe's age. He had short brown hair and was dressed casually in jeans and a blue shirt. As he approached his dog, he turned to face us, a hint of uncertainty in his expression.

"Hey, do you guys know where we go for the meeting today?" he asked, looking a bit lost.

"Yes, the meeting room is on the 18th floor, room number 122," Chloe replied kindly, eager to help.

"Thanks!" The boy flashed us a bright smile. "I'm Tim, and this is my dog, Cody."

"I'm Lilly, and this is Chloe," I introduced ourselves, making sure to be polite.

"Nice to meet you guys," Tim said, giving us a friendly grin.

"Nice to meet you too!" we both replied in unison.

"See you guys later!" Tim called out as he and Cody continued on their way.

Once we reached the door to our hotel room, I took a crosser look. I was eager to explore the space that would be our home for this trip. Stepping inside, I found our hotel room to be truly impressive, featuring high-thread count linens that felt incredibly soft and luxurious against my skin. The bathroom was a highlight, showcasing a built-in mirror TV that added a unique and modern touch. It boasted a separate shower and a soaking tub, along with Italian marble vanities that were equipped with double sinks for convenience. Soft, lightweight bathrobes hung nearby, inviting you to indulge in comfort. The complimentary toiletries were of high quality, enhancing the overall experience. Additionally, we had a flat-screen TV, an iPod docking station, and a hairdryer at our disposal. One of the best features was our access to a club lounge, where we could enjoy complimentary food throughout our stay.

After taking a moment to admire the room's luxurious features, Chloe and I settled into the plush couch to discuss our plans for the day.

"How much time do we have before we need to go to the meeting?" I inquired, wanting to ensure we had enough time.

"About fifteen minutes," Chloe replied, glancing down at her smart watch.

"We should probably get ready," I suggested, aware that it would take us some time to prepare.

"Good idea," she agreed, standing up to get started.

We both began to get ready for the meeting, with Chloe taking a little time to touch up her makeup in front of the mirror.

"Are you ready?" she asked after finishing, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yes," I responded, feeling prepared and eager to head out.

"Then let's go!" Chloe exclaimed, her enthusiasm infectious as we both moved toward the door.

She stood up and we walked out together. Chloe locked the door behind us, and we made our way to the elevator. Chloe pressed the button for the elevator, and we waited as the doors opened. Once inside, she pressed the button for the 18th floor. Soon, the elevator doors opened, and we stepped out.
