The Bored Immortal

Sarah saw Susan having a heated argument with the young receptionist, who seemed to be trying his best to politely dodge Susan's verbal bullets.

"Susan, what is taking so long to get our rooms?"

"This man is saying that our rooms—-Oh...who's your handsome young friend here, Sarah?" Susan asked with a sultry smile as she scanned the tall, handsome hunk standing before her top to bottom, especially his rippling muscles stretching his t-shirt, making him look even hotter.

She even momentarily forgot about her problem with the rooms since she couldn't take her eyes off of his face.

Sarah snorted, seeing Susan ogling Lucien so blatantly wondering if she had no shame, and said, "This is my good friend, Lucien. I just met him here coincidentally."

Susan gave a knowing glance towards Sarah, who rolled her eyes before she extended a hand over to Lucien and said, "Hi, Lucien. I am Susan. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Viktor held her hand by her fingers and lowered his head to kiss her hand as he said with a charming smile, "It's my pleasure to meet a beautiful lady like you."

Susan was surprised to see Lucien kiss her hand as if a knight was kissing the hand of his mistress and felt flattered and blushed with his gesture, much to the annoyance of Sarah, who felt indignant that Lucien never kissed her hand when they met for the first time.

She felt that her beauty didn't lose out to Susan's in the slightest but was jealous her assets were a bit bigger than hers.

But she was confident about her skin looking more radiant and her boobs and butt being firmer because of the advantage of being younger.

She felt that once Lucien realizes this, he would be kissing her hand and not Susan's.

"So, what is the problem here? Any trouble with the rooms?"

The young man standing behind the reception desk felt relieved that someone who with a sense of mannerisms came forward and said politely, "Sir, we are gravely sorry since we accidentally got double bookings because of which the rooms that should have been allotted to these two madams got allotted to a family who came here earlier. And right now, since all our rooms are fully booked, we really have no way to free up a room since this is the season and nobody would be vacating early. But as compensation, the resort has agreed to give them vouchers that would let them stay for two weeks for free the next time they want to stay here. All the services and food will be complimentary as well. We really are mortified that such a simple mistake happened, and we would like to sincerely make up for the inconvenience caused."

"Hmph, what's the use of all this compensation when we don't even have a place to stay for now. Why would we care to come here again after such a terrible experience? Now, which hotel will have vacant rooms in such a busy season? How could such a reputed hotel make this kind of silly mistake and not take responsibility?" Susan said in a pissed-off tone since she was frustrated that all her vacationing plans will go down the drain.

Sarah was also frustrated, but she didn't want to make a scene, unlike Susan, and since she was anyway doing all the heavy lifting, she let her run her tongue.

"I am really sorry, Ma'am. I sincerely apologize on behalf of the resort," The poor man said as politely as possible.

However, Susan couldn't let this go simply and said, "You know what. Call your manager. Let me have a talk with him and see if I won't sue the resort for this."

Viktor raised his brows and looked at Sarah, who whispered to him, "I hate to admit, but she is a talented lawyer in a big law firm. But still, she married my father to progress her career."

Viktor nodded in understanding and decided to intervene as he placed his hand on Susan's shoulder and said, "Miss Susan, no need to trouble yourself by going through all that. How about you two stay in my room?"

The two women suddenly had their expressions relaxed as they glanced at each other and then said to Viktor at the same time, "Really?"

The two awkwardly looked at each other again for speaking at the same time with such energy.

Viktor chuckled, seeing their excited expressions, and said, "Of course. What would I do with a big room all on my own, anyway?"

"But what about your gramps? Isn't he with you?" Sarah asked.

Viktor waved his hand and said, "Oh, don't worry about him. He has another room since he is a man of privacy, heh."

"Then I hope we won't be intruding," Susan said with a playful smile as she parted her hair to reveal her seductive neck.

"Of course not. I can't bear to see two beautiful women stranded outside in such a big place. It's not safe," Viktor said as he put up a concerned expression.

"Aww, that's really sweet of you, Lucien. Thank you," Susan said with a moved expression as she caressed his robust arm.

"It's my pleasure," Viktor smiled.

Sarah inwardly scoffed, seeing how Susan was taking advantage, and decided not to lose out as she hooked her arm with Lucien's, "Of course. As I said, he is my good friend and a gentleman."

Susan's brows twitched, seeing Sarah getting comfy with Lucien and said, "Sarah, why didn't your fiance Denys come with us?"

Viktor raised his brows and then saw the diamond ring on Sarah's finger, making him feel surprised wondering why Denys suddenly took a U-turn and ended up with Sarah.

Sarah inwardly cursed Susan as she said in an embarrassed voice, "Does it really matter? Anyways he has a lot of work in the hospital since he has to supervise his department, and I didn't want to bug him."

She tightened her arm around Lucien's as she continued, "Anyways, shall we go now? My legs are hurting from all the standing."

Brad, who had finished speaking with the manager, turned around only to be surprised to see Viktor surrounded by two buxom beauties on either side and sighed, wondering how he always managed to do this.
