**Chapter 270**
“This is going to be so much fun,” Nan said, her eyes shining with excitement.
I nodded in agreement. We walked down the wide hallway, gazing up at the crystal chandeliers that brightened the space above us.
We finally reached our suite and used the keycard to enter the room.
The room was huge, and the beds were raised on a large pedestal with stairs leading up to them. There was also a small kitchen that had almost everything we needed.
The room only had a stove. It had a living area and a door that I guessed led to the bathroom. There were dressers and wardrobes that looked like they came straight out of a storybook.
The windows were large, letting in plenty of natural light.
The sun was shining brightly as they stood facing the ocean. If we looked down from the window, we could see one of the many swimming pools at the resort. I heard they even had a swimming pool on the roof!
“Oh, I’m definitely going to…
“I’m really enjoying it here,” Nan said with a big smile.
I nodded in agreement. “Yeah, me too,” I replied.
A few minutes later, a man showed up with our luggage. I thanked him, and we began to explore our surroundings.
It was a quiet afternoon as we unpacked our things. Since we would be staying here for a few weeks, we decided it was time to make ourselves comfortable.
“Do you want to go exploring with me?” Nan asked as she stepped out of the bathroom a little later.
I shook my head.
“I’m going to rest up for tonight,” I told her. “But you go and have fun.”
“Okay, I’ll see you later,” she replied.
I took a moment to relax, knowing I would have some time to myself. I could already feel the weight of the day lifting off my shoulders.
I had slept for a long time and woke up about 30 minutes before I needed to leave for dinner. Nan wasn’t back yet, but I was sure she would return before we had to go. I quickly grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
The shower was the biggest one I had ever seen. Water sprayed out in every direction, creating a wonderful, relaxing experience. As I stepped out of the shower, I felt calmer than ever.
I quickly got dressed and, by the time I was ready, I felt refreshed and rejuvenated.
When I left the bathroom, Nan was back.
“Ready to go?” I asked her.
“Actually, I was hoping you could go by yourself,” she replied. “I met some people earlier, and they wanted to go out to dinner and hang out.”
The Gamma competitors were busy doing their thing. They were all here to support me, just like I supported them.
I frowned.
“You don’t want to come with me?” I asked, feeling disappointed. I wasn’t sure I could manage this without her.
“I’m sorry. Please don’t hate me. We’ll do other things together, and I’ll be there to support you during the competition. But right now, I could really use a drink, and I doubt anyone will be drinking at this dinner tonight. Please don’t be mad.”
I sighed. “I’m not mad,” I told her. “Go have fun. I’ll be fine.”
She squealed with excitement and hugged me tightly. After we said our goodbyes, I took a moment to look at myself in the mirror. I studied my reflection for a long time before moving on.
I sighed. It was now or never.
