Aurora Devin's POV

***********
When we arrived in Thailand at night, the plane landed at a private airport where we were swiftly cleared. Two luxurious black-tinted cars awaited us. One car carried Mr. Alexander and me, while the other transported our luggage and two security men. Our driver took us straight to the five-star hotel and beach resort. I noticed a beautifully customized logo on the car we were in, which read...Cora Group of Industries.

Curious, but not wanting to overwhelm Mr. Alexander with questions, especially since he might be jet-lagged....I quietly asked him what the Cora Group of Industries represented. To my surprise, he answered while scrolling through his tablet, not bothering to look up.

"Cora was my great-grandmother’s name on my father’s side. My great-grandfather named the hotel after her when it was first established. Now, it’s known as ..Cora Five Star Hotels and Beach Resorts.., part of the Cora Group of Industries. We kept the name for personal reasons, allowing us to keep the Borgia Chamber's name discreet. It also helps to establish the resort as an independent entity. Does that satisfy your curiosity, Aurora?" he said in a calm, raspy tone.

I was taken aback that he even answered. For a moment, I found myself mesmerized by the glow of the tablet light on his perfectly chiseled face, feeling a shiver down my spine from the cool air conditioning. Realizing I hadn’t responded, I quickly answered.

"Yes, sir. That definitely answers my question, and I’m impressed by the history behind the name."

************
Within minutes, the car glided smoothly and we arrived at the hotel. I was speechless. It was paradise—vast, luxurious, and serene, with a tropical breeze that hinted at the nearby ocean. The air was crisp, refreshing, and I took in a deep breath, feeling instantly relaxed. The hotel’s name, Cora Five Star Hotel and Beach Resort, was illuminated in bright white and royal blue, clearly visible even from afar.

"Aurora!" I heard my name, but I was too captivated by the view. Suddenly, I felt a light touch on my arm.

"I called your name, but you didn’t answer," Mr. Alexander said, his eyes locking with mine for a moment that seemed to stretch on. My heart raced. Then, just as quickly, he broke the gaze and released my arm.

"Let’s go in. My suite is in the penthouse, and we’ll be staying together—though in separate bedrooms. Your luggage has already been sent up. Make sure to focus on your job; we have a lot to do tomorrow. But for now, we rest." His tone was firm but not unkind.

As we walked into the stunning hotel, staff members greeted him at every corner. We finally reached a private elevator, clearly reserved for him and the top executives of the business.

At the top floor, Mr. Alexander swiped a master card to unlock the door to the penthouse. The suite was nothing short of breathtaking—spacious, elegant, and immaculate. The modern black and white decor, the gym equipment in the corner, and even the high-tech kitchen all screamed luxury and wealth. Two doors stood opposite each other, with a long flower vase placed between them.

"Your room is on the left," Mr. Alexander said, gesturing. "Both rooms are ensuite, and your bags are already inside. Tomorrow, we have a meeting with the investors. Everything you need to know is in the file I gave you on the plane. Make sure you review it thoroughly. And be ready by 8 a.m. tomorrow—I want to go over some legal clauses before the meeting starts at 10 a.m."

"Yes, sir," I responded to each of his instructions, determined not to miss a single detail.

As I entered my room, I silently prayed that I wouldn’t oversleep this time.
