"Please freshen up in the suite down the hallway!" An attendant led Ilya and Adele through an open garden and showed a hallway. "You'll be called in half an hour. Water and other necessities have already been prepared. Should you require anything else, simply contact room service."
Ilya gave a brisk nod before walking forward. Adele's heart was beating crazy wild as she was pulled after him. Even now, they were holding hands, and she was trying so hard not to pay any attention to his large and warm hand that was holding hers, but it was just impossible not to.
They had won the event! Every other pair was disqualified except them. But somehow she could feel bitterness in the air surrounding Ilya.
When they were in the hallway, hidden from the crowd or anyone by the large trees and shrubs, they stopped by the massive pillar at the corridor.
Pinning her against the pillar, he grabbed her chin and made her look up at him. Not that she was not already with their height difference.
