Wrong Direction?
Time continued to pass. At that time, the evening class, which was the only class Blanca attended, was over.
After that, Blanca walked outside in a hurry. She was going to the Hotel Sans Siguiente for her engagement that day. She couldn’t be late getting there because the engagement is an important event for her.
At that moment, Blanca’s phone suddenly rang. Blanca immediately looked at her phone to see that there was a message from Lorenzo.
She opened the message from Lorenzo and read it. “Hello, Blanca, My Love! Today is our engagement day. Roger (my driver) will pick you up later!”
“Okay. Thank you, Honey!” Blanca replied.
At that moment, Lorenzo’s car, which was moving, suddenly stopped in front of Blanca. The car immediately opened the windscreen.
Then, the driver asked. “Excuse me, Ma’am! Do you know Blanca Rivera?”
“I’m Blanca Rivera.”
“You’re Mr. Roger, right?” Blanca confirmed that the person in front of her was Roger (Lorenzo’s driver, who was going to pick her up).
“Yes. I’m Roger.”
Roger got out of the car, and Blanca walked straight to the car. Arriving at the front of the car, Roger was about to open the door for Blanca.
However, at that moment, Blanca opened the car door and said. “No need, Sir!”
“It’s okay, Madam.” He said that as Blanca got into the car.
Then he closed the car door for her. After that, he walked to the driver’s seat.
Then he opened the car door and got in. Soon, the car started driving.
Blanca was silent while she watched the scenery that they passed and the route the car took. After a while, Blanca realized that she had not been taken to her house.
At that moment, Blanca was confused and asked in her heart.
“How come I’m not taken to my house? Lorenzo asked him to take me to my house, right?”
“But why doesn’t he take me to my house? Where will he bring me?”
“Does he take the wrong way or does he take a different route to make it faster?”
“Maybe he wants to take a different route than the one that I usually take.” Blanca answered in her heart.
She waited for a while. But the more she paid attention, the more the route looked like it would take Blanca to Hotel Sans Siguiente.
The scenery that they were traveling through was like the scenery that Blanca often travels through when she goes to Hotel Sans Siguiente.
Blanca felt increasingly confused. So she got up the courage to ask Roger. “Sir, why don’t you take me to my house?”
“Mr. Lorenzo asked me to take you to Hotel Sans Siguiente. So, I take you to Hotel Sans Siguiente.”
Blanca’s eyes bulged because she was so shocked. Her heart was beating so fast.
“Huh? To Hotel Sans Siguiente? Seriously?!” Blanca asked suddenly.
“Yes, to Hotel Sans Siguiente. I’m serious, Madam.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
“Didn’t you hear it wrong?” Blanca ensured. Because she thought maybe Roger heard it wrong.
“No, Madam.”
“Oh, my god! How is the way for me to get ready later?” complained Blanca.
“I haven’t dressed up yet, Sir. Today is my special day. It’s my engagement day.” Blanca complained again.
“I don’t know. I was just asked to do this by Mr. Lorenzo.” Roger really didn’t know.
“I think you can ask Mr. Lorenzo, Madam!” Roger suggested. That made Blanca do that immediately.
Blanca immediately looked for Lorenzo’s contact details and called Lorenzo. Not long after, Lorenzo picked up the call.
“Hi, Lorenzo!”
“Hi? What’s wrong?”
Lorenzo wondered what was wrong because Blanca’s voice sounded panicked. So, Lorenzo thought something was up.
“Roger has picked you up, right?” Lorenzo confirmed.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“Yes, but why did you ask Roger to take me to the Hotel Sans Siguiente?” asked Blanca curiously.
“To make the preparation quick,” Lorenzo answered.
“How about my parents?” Blanca asked again.
“Your parents are here. I picked them up earlier, and they’re getting dressed now.” Lorenzo answered.
Not long after, Blanca heard her parents’ voices.
“Hi, Blanca!” greeted her father.
“Hi, Blanca!” Her mother greeted.
“Then, what about me? I’m not ready yet; I’m not dressed up!” Blanca said this in a panic.
“You can do it here.” Lorenzo answered.
“You’ve taken a shower, right? Or haven’t you taken a shower?” Lorenzo asked back.
“Earlier, I asked you to take a shower, and you said that you have taken a shower.” Lorenzo said. That made Blanca pat her forehead.
In her heart, she complained. “Oh, my god! Apparently, that’s why he asked me to take a shower.”
“I thought why. I just understand it now.”
***
Indeed, earlier, Lorenzo had sent Blanca a message asking her to take a shower. “Blanca, please take a shower before you go to your campus for the evening class!”
“Okay.” Blanca immediately grabbed a towel and took a shower.
After taking a shower, Blanca saw Lorenzo’s message again. “You’ve already showered, right?”
“Yes.”

“How about the dresses?” asked Blanca.
“The dresses are already here,” replied Lorenzo.
“My bag? Where will I put it?” Blanca was scared.
“I’m afraid that it’ll be lost!” She complained.
“You can entrust your bag to Roger. You can give it to Roger and ask him to look after it before you take it.” Lorenzo said.
“Okay. Thank you, Honey!” Blanca thanked him.
“You’re welcome, honey.” Not long after, the call ended.
At that moment, Roger asked. “So, how is it?”
“So it’s true what I’ve said, right?” Roger confirmed.
“Yes. It’s true!” Blanca answered.
“Later, I’ll leave my bag with you, Mr. Roger! Is that okay? Mr. Lorenzo said that I can leave it with you and entrust it to you,” said Blanca.
“That’s okay. Just take it easy! I’ll take care of it,” said Roger.
“Thank you!”
“You’re welcome.”
Not long after, they arrived at the lobby of the Hotel Sans Siguiente. Roger immediately said. “Madam, we have arrived.”
Blanca saw from inside the lobby that there was a long red carpet. Not only that, Blanca saw that the terrace had been transformed into a luxurious terrace that was even more luxurious than before.
There were twinkling lights strung along the railings. There were also many bouquets of flowers saying “Happy engagement!” from various parties.
The tables were decorated with gold tablecloths. In addition, there were many champagne glasses on the table.
When they arrived, the guard at the door immediately walked down the stairs near the lobby and opened the car door for Blanca. Blanca immediately got out of the car and thanked him. “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome.”
“Let me escort you, Madam!” said the guard politely.
Then, they started walking with the guard on her left side. However, his position remained slightly behind Blanca’s. He was the one who is assigned by Lorenzo and was responsible for Blanca’s safety until Blanca arrived in the makeup room.
They felt the wind that blew that night against their bodies. The wind was so cold and bone-chilling that Blanca immediately commented in her heart. “It’s so cold tonight!”
Blanca walked across the red carpet with a smile on her face. Her eyes were sparkling with happiness.
There was a confident look in her eyes. Not like before, when there was not a confident look in her eyes.
After a while, she arrived in front of the hotel lobby. The two doormen at the lobby door immediately opened the lobby door while they let them come in. “Please, come in, Madam!”
Blanca walked immediately through the elegant lobby of the luxury hotel. She was in awe of the opulence.
The decor looked perfect and luxurious to Blanca’s eyes. There was a crystal chandelier and gold furniture adorning the room.
A whiff of fresh flowers made Blanca’s eyes glance towards the source of the scent. Then, she found real flowers, the scent of perfume, and the fragrance of air freshener.
There were also soft strains of classical music floating in the air. The sound came from the orchestra playing music, which was not far from them.
All these things showed how much Lorenzo loved Blanca and how much Lorenzo has done so far to make that night a very beautiful night, unforgettable for them forever, and one of those moments that they can’t forget forever.
Not long after, they arrived at the front of the room. The guard who had accompanied Blanca knocked on the door.
Not long after, there was a voice inside. “Please, wait!”
They waited for a while until the door was opened by a woman who looked like Blanca. Her eyes and her nose look like Blanca’s.
Two things that differentiate them are their lips and their hair. Blanca has thin lips and long brown hair, while the woman has thick lips and wavy, waist-length blonde hair.
She is Laura Rivera, Blanca’s cousin, who is usually called Laura. Laura greeted her warmly. “Hi!”
“Hi!” greeted Blanca. Then they hugged for a while.
“So, are you the woman who will get married with Mr. Lorenzo?” asked Laura as she released that hug.
