* Island of East's jungle *
The landing spot for the jet was on a small platform on a smaller mountain. The actual mansion is on top of the highest part of the island. The long walk almost exhausted Emily, but the group made it to the luxurious mansion.
Why did Christian keep this island a secret from me? Emily wonders as she looks at the mansion in awe, What else is he keeping from me?
They all step inside the mansion, the air-conditioned air in the mansion makes Emily shiver. From the inside, the mansion's walls are taller than the one in Massachusetts and it has a maximum amount of space to move around. It's brighter as well with gold like tint to everything in the room. From furniture, the grand stairwell, to the walls, to even the floor looks like it could be made of gold. Emily can see people in the kitchen from the entryway. They move amount themselves.
Happy nudges Emily with his wrist. "That was a long, hot walk from the jet. I would settle in and dress more comfortably than those heavy sweats if I was you."
Emily slowly nods, heading towards the stairwell. An Asian lady appears, her smile priceless. Emily looks to Happy and Zephyr with panic in her eyes.
"What would you want us to make you for dinner, Miss East?" The lady asks Emily.
"Um...what do you have?" Emily asks.
The Asian woman considers this for a moment. "Well, what do you usually like to eat?"
"Chicken." Emily answers, seeing Happy smile in the corner of her eye. "I don't really eat much."
"Well, we have to change that now." The Asian woman chuckles.
The woman reminds her of an Aunt figure and it makes her feel more comfortable and warm. Emily wonders if Christian had personally hired her for the brunette or if she had worked for Christian at the island the entire time.
"What's your name?" Emily asks warmly, smiling.
"Sonya Chung." The Asian woman bows to Emily, "I am the head chef of your home."
Home? Emily nods. Right
"Alright, Sonya. Surprise me for dinner—but I am allergic to any form of nut." Emily informs her, "And a shit ton of medicine too."
Sonya nods her head with a bright smile. "Well, I will try to remember those Miss East."
How does Sonya know my name? Emily wonders, Probably Christian.
Emily walks up the grand stairwell that seems to be made of pure gold. She can see her reflection as she walks up each step. Her eyes are puffy and there are dark circles under her eyelids.
When Emily reaches he top step of the stairs, she sees that the golden walled hallways that stretch far and wide. Out of the two hallways (left and right), the right is the one that comes to a dead end while the left seems to stretch around a corner. She bites the insides of her cheek.
"Where's the bedroom Christian usually stays in?" Emily says confused, "I'm sure that is where he'd want me to stay."
Zephyr nods towards the end of the hallway to Emily's right. "There you will find the master bedroom, Miss East."
Happy nods to Emily as the two men head down the hallway on the left.
"Mr. Taylor told you to look in your suitcases!" Happy calls over his shoulder.
