Chapter 53 Take Cameron To The Hotel
Elijah had no choice but to grab a slice of pizza, though he purposely picked one with less cheese. As he brought the slice to his mouth, the mix of spices hit him first. He scrunched his face, unsure of how it would taste.
Taking a bite, he was surprised to find it actually tasted pretty good. But the toppings and cheese were all over it, and he thought for the sake of health, people should really avoid eating this kind of food too often.
Meanwhile, Cameron was enjoying her fries.
Elijah frowned as he watched her and then said, “I heard places like this use old ingredients. You should eat less of this stuff.”
Cameron glanced at him and replied, “Elijah, didn’t anyone tell you you’re sometimes a terrible killjoy?”
Elijah gave her a look but didn’t say anything.
Cameron took another bite of fried chicken. The chicken was greasy, but it went well with beer. She took a bite, sipped her beer, and before long, she finished off the entire beer she ordered.
Her face flushed slightly, and she wobbled a bit. Eventually, she rested her head on her arms, lying across the table. She closed her eyes, looking like she was a little drunk. But despite being tipsy, she was quiet, not causing a scene.
“Cameron?” Elijah nudged her gently.
Cameron furrowed her brows slightly but didn’t wake up.
Elijah checked his phone and noticed it was already past midnight, and the food truck area was almost empty.
He figured Cameron had drunk too much, so he stood up to pay for their food. Afterward, he came back to her and nudged her again. “Cameron, where do you live? Let me take you home.”
Cameron mumbled with her eyes still shut, “Home? I don’t have a home.”
Elijah stared at her, not sure how to respond.
“Hey, Cameron, wake up.” He gave her another push, trying to wake her up.
Cameron frowned and muttered, “Leave me alone.”
Elijah stood beside her, feeling torn about what he should do.
A few guests around them looked over, and Elijah’s frown deepened. He finally decided to help her out of the place. He draped her arm over his shoulder and tried to carry her.
As he lifted her, he paused for a second, thinking, ‘He smells really nice. It’s fresh and kind of sweet.’
Shaking himself out of the thought, Elijah quickly helped Cameron into a taxi waiting outside. Cameron tilted her head against the window, half–dozing.
The driver asked, “Where are you going?”
Elijah froze for a moment, wondering, ‘Where? I don’t even know where Cameron lives. He drank so much, and I don’t know what’s going on. Is it okay to take him back home? But if I don’t take him back home, where else can I go?‘
“Excuse me, where are we going now?” the driver asked again.
Elijah glanced at Cameron, who was still out cold, and replied, “Golden Horizon Hotel.”
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Golden Horizon Hotel.
In the lavish lobby, Elijah struggled to support the nearly limp Cameron as they made their way to the front desk.
A clerk moved to help, but Elijah waved them off and said, “Thanks, but I can manage.”
“Sir, what kind of room would you like?” the receptionist asked politely.
“A king–sized room, please,” Elijah said while reaching into Cameron’s pocket for her ID.
After paying, he soon got the keycard. He managed to get Cameron to the room, but by the time he had helped her onto the bed, he was sweating.
Elijah sat down in the couch and rested for a moment. He watched Cameron lying on the bed in her clothes, shoes still on, and felt conflicted for a long time. Eventually, he walked over and took off her shoes.
Helping someone take off their shoes wasn’t something he dever done before.
Successfully unlocked!
He covered her with a blanket and adjusted the rooms AC thi
be should just leave.
But as he reached the door, he heard a thud behind him. Turning around, he saw Cameron had rolled off the bed and landed on the carpet with the blanket still wrapped around her.
cho frowned. Cameron probably hurt herself, but she still didn’t wake up.
