My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1179

It was a familiar face. We were not close, but I knew who she was.

It was Dahlia. She picked up her ticket, glanced around as if trying to hide from someone and hurriedly went to the International boarding gates.

She was going abroad? Where to?

I didn't know her very well, so I did not want to pry into her affairs. Seeing her leave, I didn't stay any longer. I took my plane ticket and went towards my gate.

Somehow, I had recently had a habit of doing some reading before boarding. It was a good hobby after all.

After a four-hour flight, it was late when I arrived at Jarold City. As I got off the flight, I switched on my phone. There were still no messages from Hendrix, and I felt quite distressed.

It was eight o'clock in the evening and I wasn't sure if Anne was asleep already. After a moment's thought, I decided against calling her and took a taxi to the hotel directly, planning to see her only the next morning.

When I arrived at the hotel, I went to the front desk to check-in. The receptionist was a little slow. She was speaking on the phone while checking in for me, and from time to time, she cast me an apologetic glance.

I wasn't in a hurry anyway. So, I looked at her with a gentle smile and didn't urge her.

After she hung up, she looked at me and said apologetically, "Sorry, miss. We are fully booked, we can't check-in for you!"

I was stunned and asked, "It's only eight o'clock and all the rooms are full?"

She nodded and explained kindly, "It's because of the upcoming National Day holidays. Recently, we have had a few tour groups checked in. And so, other guests would have to book rooms in advance... So sorry about that."

I understood. It would be the National Day parade soon, and Jarold City was heavily populated anyway. Therefore, most of the hotels must be overcrowded.

Well, it seemed that I would be turned away at other hotels anyway. So, after a moment's pondering, I called Freya. Luckily, she answered immediately, "So you've finally decided to call me. I thought you were gone for good!"

I smiled and said, "There is something I need to

help me with."

She said frankly, "Sure, what is it? I'd never say no!"

I chuckled at her response and said, "I am now in Jarold City. The hotels are all full. I might need to stay at your house for a few days!"

"F*ck!" She swore, "Arianna, you're being too polite. I'm treating you like family, but you're treating me like a stranger! I'm so flabbergasted. Where are you? I'll come to pick you up. My family home has so many vacant rooms. Instead of going to a hotel, you should have called me immediately!"

I immediately sent her my location.

Fortunately, there wasn't much traffic on the road, and Freya arrived quite soon.

She drove a red Lexus sports car, which was flashy and domineering. She stopped at the entrance of the hotel and it attracted a lot of attention. She lowered the window and called out to me, "Hey gorgeous, get in the car!"

Her hooligan-like behaviour made me chuckle. Then, I looked at my suitcase and said, "Can this fit in the car?"

She curled her lips and said, "F*ck, such a big suitcase? Are you carrying a dead body?"

After a pause, she said, "I'll ask Zachary to come over to get it. Let's go home first!" Then, she politely spoke to the hotel doorman, passed him some money, and thanked him.

In the car, she looked at me and frowned, "Hey, where have you been all this while? Why did you leave so suddenly? Did something happen between you and Hendrix?"
