Lena Brown suggested they go to Mexico because she hoped to exploit the timing. During this period, all the powers in Las Vegas would surely still be searching for Yusuf Zuck’s whereabouts.
And just like that, they had already arrived in Mexico City.
"There are no flights to Beijing from Mexico City in the next few days, but there is a direct flight to Hong Kong, although it’s not until six o’clock tomorrow evening." At the airport in Mexico City, as dawn was just breaking, as soon as the two of them got to the airport, Lena Brown immediately asked about flights going back to their homeland. However, she was informed that they would have to wait for any direct flights, whether it was to Beijing or to Zhonghai City.
But there was a direct flight to Hong Kong, which would not be until six in the evening.
"Then let’s take the direct flight to Hong Kong," Yusuf Zuck had no objections; at this point, he just wanted to get back to his country.
"So where do we go now? Are we supposed to wait here all day?" Lena Brown asked doubtfully.
"Let’s find an airport hotel to rest for the day, eh? We can just come back here at six in the evening," Yusuf Zuck suggested.
"Okay, then follow me," Lena Brown nodded. It wasn’t feasible to sit in the airport all day, so it seemed like a good idea to get a temporary room for some sleep, considering that money was not an issue for either of them.
The airport had its own accommodation hotels. Since Yusuf Zuck could only speak Chinese, Lena Brown took care of all the arrangements.
"Alright, let’s go upstairs," Lena Brown said, holding the room card after completing the hotel check-in procedures at the airport.
However, Yusuf Zuck noticed that she only had one room card. This girl had only booked one room as if afraid to waste resources.
It wasn’t until they both entered the room that Lena Brown’s face turned a shade of red as she said, "I only booked one room, I... I’m a little scared. Mexico is very chaotic, and the black gangs are prevalent here. There are a lot of kidnappings, and many foreign tourists disappear without a trace."
"Mm, it’s fine, booking two rooms would have been a waste; let’s just take the chance to rest," Yusuf Zuck nodded with a smile, laying on one of the beds fully clothed, not even taking off his shoes.
The danger was not yet over. Mexico had countless ties with the United States, and indeed, Mexico was very chaotic. He feared that if they delayed here for a day, their enemies would catch up to them. Original content can be found at novelꞁire.net
"Alright, let’s rest then," Lena Brown pulled the curtains shut, blocking out as much sunlight as possible to darken the room. She took off her shoes and curled up in the other bed.
Yusuf Zuck pretended to sleep, lying in bed contemplating his own thoughts and worrying about what he would do in case something unexpected happened.
He was not a thoughtless person; thus, he planned everything in advance.
However, about ten minutes later, believing him to be asleep, Lena Brown tiptoed out of bed and slipped into the bathroom.
Shortly after, the sound of a shower echoed from inside; the woman had gone to take a bath.
Yusuf Zuck did not want anything more than friendship to happen with Lena Brown. Despite her being sexy and unrestrained, he was not a beast, and it’s not like he could just climb into bed with anyone he saw. Moreover, he didn’t want to be promiscuous and create a trail of emotional debts, so he maintained a respectful yet distant attitude towards Lena Brown.
And with his mind preoccupied, he really wasn’t in the mood either.
About twenty minutes later the sound of running water in the bathroom ceased, the light went out, and Lena Brown, with her hair wet and clinging, emerged wrapped in a white bath towel.
By that time, Yusuf Zuck was awake, leaning on the bed and smoking a cigarette.
When Lena Brown came out, she saw Yusuf Zuck awake and smoking, leaning against the bed.
She paused, standing at the bathroom doorway, and asked, "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I wasn’t asleep either. You get in bed and rest for a bit," Yusuf Zuck shook his head and said.
"I can’t sleep either..." She stood still, her eyes shifting around.
"Then get in bed, we can chat," Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.
"You..." Lena Brown opened her mouth, then suddenly untied her white bath towel.
Her body was perfectly sculpted without an ounce of excess fat, her stomach smooth and flat, and her long legs gave her the appearance of a model, with curves in all the right places.
Yusuf Zuck was taken aback for a moment, then calmly looked at her, at her body!
Lena Brown blushed, looking down, but then she mustered up her courage, lifted her head boldly, walked up to Yusuf Zuck’s bed, and stepped up to stand before him.
She bit her lower lip, her hands trembling slightly, and her eyes also held a mistiness, as if tears were gleaming.
She stood there motionless, silent.
According to normal logic, a normal man would have already pounced on her, knowing without words what to do. In a world of just the two of them, in a foreign land, living under one roof, skin-to-skin, even married men would find it impossible to resist this temptation and would cheat at least once.
Moreover, Lena Brown was enticing in appearance and curvaceous, confident she was no less attractive than any other woman. So, at this moment, she imagined that Yusuf Zuck should be throwing himself upon her.
But... but... everything was beyond her expectations; Yusuf Zuck just lay on the bed without moving, merely watching her quietly.
More and more mist formed in her eyes until after a few breaths, tears began to roll down, and she was shamefully crying her eyes out.
Yusuf Zuck sighed. They say women living abroad are open; today, he had seen it firsthand.
He gently rose to his feet, drawing one leg out from between hers, then the other, and after standing up, he took the blanket from the bed and stood on the mattress, wrapping it around her.
"Put on your clothes. Let’s pretend nothing happened today!" Yusuf Zuck said after draping the blanket over her, then walked to the window, pulling back the curtains just a sliver to look outside.
"Do you find my body dirty, or are you afraid I’m sick?" Lena Brown asked with a quivering voice.
"Neither," Yusuf Zuck shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Do you know the meaning of a ’dew love’? The dew falls at night, but once the day dawns and the sun shines upon it, the dew evaporates, as if it was never there. Though it might have nourished everything, it can never exist under the sunlight."
"If anything happened between us today, afterwards, I would only hurt you, and we couldn’t become true friends. Plus, I have a girlfriend!"
"I... I... I didn’t mean anything by it; I won’t ask you to take responsibility. I like you, because you seem like a roguish hero. To be honest, I admire you. You have a fatal attraction to me. Today, I just wanted to give myself to you without expecting anything in return. Of course, maybe my approach was a bit... direct. I’m sorry, so sorry, my apologies..." After apologizing repeatedly, Lena Brown dashed into the bathroom like the wind.
Soft sobs came from the bathroom. Her forwardness had been met with indifference from Yusuf Zuck, making her feel terribly embarrassed, humiliated, and at a loss on how to save face.
She felt like she was overly sentimental, unrestrained, decadent, but she wasn’t a wanton girl. However, now, Yusuf Zuck must think of her as a loose woman, right?
The impression she’d left on him must be in the negatives in his eyes!
