They arrived at the airport. They moved inside Max’s jet and the door shut.
A fat man approached them.
“Huh?. Who is he?”Raquel asked.
“My manager.”
“Woah. How can a fat man be a model’s manager?. That explains why you eat a lot”she folded her arms.
“Max!. Just at the right time. Welcome.”the man said.
They all went to sit down and fixed their seatbelts.
Raquel sat close to Maxwell and Mirabel sat alone by the window.
The jet powered up.
The radio came up with a woman instructing them to fix their seatbelts on.
Soon, the jet was in the sky.
“Maxwell has been bringing in so many girls, but I’ve never seen anyone so pretty like you.”his manager said.
“Oh.”Raquel mouthed and turned to give Maxwell a mischievous smile.
He looks away nervously, clearing his throat.
“Learn to mind your business, Mr Farrik.”he said between gritted teeth.
“So, you’ve bee coming here with girls?. Such a playboy.”Raquel said to him in low tone.
“Whatever.”he said and opened the plastic of food given to him and grab a pizza then started munching.

“Welcome to Korea!”Mr Farrik announced as the jet went down to land.
Maxwell opened his eyes and yawned. He tapped Raquel.
“We are here.”
He stood up and went to carry Mirabel who was still asleep.
The door opened and the stairs rolled down.
They took it down and walked to where their driver was.
“Mr Farrik!, welcome.”he greeted them.
“Alright. I think I should go look for my driver. You and Mirabel should have fun, hun?.”
“Sure.”
She pecked his forehead and moved away.
She watched their driver drive away before turning to look for her ride.
“Miss Raquel?”someone called and she turned to see a man.
“Huh?”
“Are you perhaps, miss Raquel?”he asked with a Korean accent.
“Yeah”
“Of course, I knew it right from a glance.”the man smiled.
“Are you my driver?”
“Yes. Welcome to Korea”he smiled.
“Thanks”
He led her to his car and she entered.
He drove away and after a long while, they arrived at a tall building.
“Here’s your destination.”
“I see. Thanks a lot.”
“Sure thing.”
She got down and walked towards the building.
She entered and was marvelled at the beauty.
The place is really spacious too.
“Hi, miss. Welcome to Marvin’s home.”the receptionist greeted.
“Hi.”she moved to the counter.
“I’m Raquel. I was told…”
“Welcome, miss Raquel. We’ve been expecting you.”she smiles warmly before opening a drawer and brought out a key then proffered it to her.
“Your apartment number is 25.”
“Thanks.”
She moved away.
“Uhh, you can just take the elevator.”the receptionist said.
“Alright, I appreciate”
She went to take the elevator.
It dings opened after some minutes and she stepped out.
Opposite to the elevator was room 25.
So cool.
The place is really nice.
Her dad’s friend own this place and so, a reservation has been made in advance.
She unlocked the door and went in.
Her jaw dropped at the sight of the room.
It’s really spacious and beautiful!.
She went to open the door by the right and saw the room. She jumped on the bed and smiled. She is loving this.
She stood up and went out.
She opened the first door at the left and woah!, the kitchen is… superb, sparkling clean. She guessed the other door would lead to the restroom and she guessed right.
How did they know she loves blue!.
The wall was painted white and blue.
There’s another door in there which leads to the toilet.
She moved to the window and what a great sight!.
She quickly went to grab her phone and connect with her friends on Facetime.
“I’m here!, I’m here!. Guys, look around”she turned the phone around and took turns to show them the rooms.
“That’s one hell of an apartment. So pretty!”Koyla commented.
“Really beautiful.”Miranda also commented.
“Well, thanks. So, what are you two up to?”
“We will be going to the mall shortly”
“I will be taking a walk around here also and hopefully, I will walk through the streets tomorrow and I will keep you on the screen”
“Okay. Goodbye. Don’t forget to find a cute guy soon. I don’t wanna see you alone on Facetime from now on.”Miranda said.
“Okay, ma’am.”Raq chuckled and they disconnected the call.
She fell on the couch and smiled.
So soft!.
She sprang up and moved to the door. She locked it and entered the elevator directly.
It took her downstairs
She walked through the lobby and threw the receptionist a nice smile which the latter didn’t fail to return.
“Do you intend to take a look around?”the lady asked and she nodded.
“There’s nothing much to see outside. Go through that door to get nice sights.”
She turned to the pointed door.
*Recreation* was written on it.
She raised a brow and shrugged.
She opened the door and went in.
“Wow!”she blurted. This place is incredibly amazing.
There’s a ball court, a swimming pool and a section for ice-cream.
This is awesome.
It was indeed a great sight as different people moved around.
Wow!.
She moved to ice-cream depot.
“Oh, we’ve got a second American.”someone said and she turned to see looks focused on her.
She gave a nervous smile, wondering what they meant by that.
Second American?.
She turned back and ordered for a vanilla flavour.
The way they stare at her made her pretty uncomfortable, especially the boys.
She stood up after getting her ice-cream and after paying then moved out.
She heard them conversed in Korean language.
She took the elevator up. She licks her ice cream and rested her head on the wall.
Second American?
She pouted and rolled her eyes.
Soon, the elevator stops and dings opened, sprawling apart.
She looked up and…
No way!.
Her eyes shone brightly.
“Styopa?!”she called.
He looked up at her and his eyes widened.
“Raquel?!!”
