“Another upgrade?” Izzy repeated, frowning. This has been the third upgrade that she received on this trip. First was during the first flight where she was upgraded to first class, then she was once again upgraded to business class on the second flight and now, she was upgraded to a suite room. Isn’t this too lucky?

“Yes, Miss Rossi,” the receptionist confirmed, handing over a key card. “Your room has been upgraded to a suite. Here is your elevator card and room key.”

Izzy glanced at Anna, who stood silently beside her. “For only one room?” Izzy asked, arching a brow slightly. This trip was sponsored by the company and they were supposed to stay in an adjoining room. So, she was surprised that she was suddenly upgraded to a suite room.

The receptionist nodded politely. “Yes, Miss Rossi. It’s been arranged under your reservation.”

Anna gave her a reassuring smile. “It’s fine, Miss Rossi. You should enjoy the suite. I’ll be fine in my room.”

Izzy hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. “Alright, if you’re sure.” She accepted the key card and headed to the elevator.

The suite was impressive, with large windows offering a stunning view of the city skyline and enough space to feel more like an apartment than a hotel room. She set her luggage near the closet and took a moment to settle into the plush sofa.

The fatigue from the flight finally hit her. She kicked off her shoes and stretched out on the bed, letting her mind wander as she closed her eyes. Tomorrow’s opening ceremony would be important, and she needed to be well–rested.

The next morning, Izzy woke up later than usual. The jet lag had taken its toll, and the blackout curtains in the suite didn’t help her internal clock. She sat up, rubbing her temples, and grabbed her phone to check the time

“Great. Behind schedule already,” she muttered to herself.

She quickly ordered breakfast from room service, choosing something light to save time. While waiting for the food, she jumped into the shower, letting the warm water wake her up. By the time she stepped out, her meal had arrived.

Izzy ate quickly, glancing over her notes for the ceremony while sipping her coffee. She made sure everything was in order, then dressed in a sleek business outfit, carefully applying makeup and styling her hair to look polished and professional.
