Slowly approach you

In the Mediterranean Sea at the end of June, the sun is as golden as it is flowing.But looking back against the light, the sea is as quiet as a piece of blue cotton cloth, boundless, absorbing all the direct sunlight in summer without reflecting any luster.

Massa dragged the suitcase, took the ferry from Naples, disembarked at the pier in Capri, and looked around.It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still many tourists on the island, and the hustle and bustle of people's voices inevitably added a bit of heat and irritability.Massa frowned, found a taxi and went straight to the Gulf Hotel.The Gulf Hotel is a boutique hotel that mainly receives western tourists. It has good privacy, a private beach, a large garden, and an infinity pool on the terrace. You can enjoy the invincible sea view and sunset starry sky.

Massa came to the front desk, breathed a sigh of relief, and was always on guard against pickpockets at the Naples pier, and his nerves were tense, which almost ruined his pleasure.The girl at the front desk who received him at the hotel looked only in her twenties, with a youthful face and no intentions. She took the passport and credit card handed over by Massa, checked the check-in system, raised her head after a while, smiled, and said In English with a strong Italian accent: "Mr. Massa, welcome to check in. As required, the room you booked has been upgraded to a deluxe sea view suite. Here are your room key, wifi password and breakfast information."

"Wait a minute, what request? I didn't ask for a room upgrade, did I make a mistake?"

"It can't be wrong. We received the email three days ago, provided your name, birthday, and reservation number, and confirmed the upgrade. I checked your certificate just now, and all the information is in line."

"What? What email? I don't understand." Massa looked puzzled, "Is it a prank? I have no idea what's going on. Please help me change back to the room I originally booked. The suite is not in my plan It's also beyond my budget."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about the room fee, your friend has already paid for it, a total of seven nights, and the prepaid deposit can fully offset your meals, spa or other expenses during your stay."

"There must be some misunderstanding here." Apart from being puzzled, Massa became alert, and quickly passed through his mind. He came to Capri Island for vacation. Only his parents and colleagues who need to confess to work know, and the hotel reservation number and birthday How did the private information leak out?He didn't believe that the administrative assistant who booked the room for him would make such a mistake, or give him such a "surprise" without approval.

"May I ask who sent you the email? Whose name is the credit card?"

The smile on the face of the lady at the front desk did not diminish at all, "The mailbox is a string of numbers, and the signature is your best friend. Regarding the name of the credit card, I am sorry that I cannot disclose it, sir. But I can assure you that you will not use it when you leave. Pay any additional fees."

"No, no, I still can't accept such a baffling arrangement. Anyway, I just want to stay in the room I originally booked."

"Sir, I'm afraid that the room type you booked before is not available. In fact, there are only a few days in the next seven days where there are only a few unbooked rooms available."

At this time, it has entered the peak travel season. Families with children on vacation, newly married couples, friends together, and tour groups from various countries flock to this resort. If you don’t make an appointment in advance, where can you find a suitable and free hotel.

Massa became a little angry, "How can you change my room without my consent?"

"I'm very sorry sir, we did email and text you to seek your confirmation, but received no reply. The email said you would be delighted to receive kindness and hospitality from an old friend. I'm very grateful I'm sorry you were not happy with that."

Massa sighed. A few days ago, the company's project had a turning point. He should have stepped up to follow up, but he has been tense for several months, and his heart is heavy with another matter, as if he was suffocating. , I had to go out for vacation slowly, the journey was tiring, and I didn't check the emails or text messages on my personal mobile phone at all.

In fact, what's so scary about a big man who is alone? He was so tired that he didn't want to change his place to live. After thinking about it, he felt that maybe God took pity on the setbacks he suffered a few days ago, so he smashed a pie. on his head.

"This is very strange. But since it is like this now, I don't seem to have any reason to insist." Massa said as he took the certificate key and other things on the counter, and decided to follow the development of the matter.

"Okay sir, the sea view suite is on the third floor, and the elevator turns left at the end of the rear corridor. If you need, my colleague can send your luggage to the room for you. You can call the front desk at any time. Except for popular restaurants, we Private speedboat bookings to the Blue Cave are also available.”

"Not now, maybe another day. Thank you very much."

"No problem. I hope you enjoy your stay at our hotel."

Massa dragged the suitcase to the room.

The living room is very spacious, white and beige are the main colors, there are landscape paintings of Capri Island on the wall, a crystal lamp hanging on the top, and there is even a treadmill in the corner.Next to the sofa and coffee table is an armchair with an ash and light blue pattern, facing several large French windows with curtains of the same color and sheer white sheer curtains.Going out of the window is a wooden terrace with a private pool on one side and white lounge chairs and several pots of subtropical green plants on the other.Looking around, there is a line between the sea and the sky.

The bedroom is small and simple in style. The bathroom is covered with light blue tiles and has a touch of incense.Massa whistled with satisfaction.

After tidying up his luggage and taking a shower, Massa took a nap, woke up and answered a work call, feeling bright and relaxed, so he got up and changed into a set of comfortable short-sleeved sportswear, put a white linen coat on his shoulders, and went out Take a walk for dinner.

He has a wide forehead and narrow jaw, single eyelids and long eye tails, three-dimensional but soft facial features, a head of thick black curly hair, handsome and charming.When passing by the front desk, he smiled and raised his hand to the girl, but the young girl couldn't keep her eyes from his back.

The town is mostly beige and white buildings, scattered high and low, with blue-gray stone roads, and the warm sea breeze blows away a little heat.Massa strolled to the beach, found a sea-view restaurant with few people, picked a corner of the offshore platform, took off his coat, leaned back on the chair, and ordered an aperitif.

It was almost dusk at this time, and the sun withdrew its scorching light, surrounded by orange fiery clouds, casting a warm halo, covering the sea in the distance, and the outline of Mount Vesuvius could be vaguely seen at the end of the sea and sky.Bougainvillea and orange scorpion flowers hang from the white eaves, and the flower pots in the aisle are full of big lemons and oranges, not to mention the flower beds along the corridor are full of colorful hydrangea, like a knocked over. canvas with watercolor paints.

Massa remembered that the last time he came to Capri, he was on a cruise ship with his parents when he was a teenager. The half-day fleeting time was not as leisurely as it is now.

In today's fashionable words, he is a little expert in reincarnation.Her father is a leader in the financial and securities industry, and her mother is the only daughter of an antique jeweler.Massa finished his master's degree in business in the UK where his parents met and fell in love, and worked in a multinational company for a few years before starting his own business. He took jewelry appraisal, met several designers, and established a SG jewelry design company.Because of the influence of his ears and eyes since childhood, coupled with the foundation of connections on the face of his parents, he has been in business for a few years, but it has flourished.

However, since last year, several of the company's businesses have encountered problems one after another. Either they encountered malicious competition, or the investors changed their minds temporarily, especially the new self-owned brand project that is about to be launched this summer - the Shaohua Shengji jewelry series. The team prepared For a long time, I tried my best and was ready to go, but there were side effects.The company's capital chain suddenly encountered a gap.He didn't want his parents to help, so he ran around looking for a turning point, suffering from endless headaches.

Originally, an internationally renowned jewelry brand proposed to acquire his company. Although Massa was reluctant, he was also moved.Unexpectedly, a few days ago, AM Investment Company suddenly offered to inject capital.Just now, the assistant called him, saying that the project valuation, equity distribution and other negotiations are progressing smoothly, and the letter of intent for cooperation with AM has been negotiated and drawn up.

AM is a dark horse in the venture capital market in recent years, with precise vision and rapid momentum, achieving remarkable performance in a short period of time. AM's boss is quite mysterious and never participates in industry entertainment meetings.Massa had tried to reach out in private before, but was always declined.It is a good thing to suddenly become a partner now, although it is a bit unexpected.

Things finally went smoothly, Massa finished his drink, took the menu, and saw the squid ink noodles at a glance.He liked to eat this when he traveled to Italy when he was a student. After work, he would go to high-end restaurants for social entertainment. This dish is rare, and the ink on his lips and teeth will also affect his image.Now I can finally have no worries.To celebrate the victory, he also added a grilled sea fish and a glass of champagne.

The seafood in southern Italy is very refreshing, seasoned simply, wrapped in lemon leaves and steamed, so tender that the soup oozes out.The surface of the cuttlefish is black and shiny, and the fishy smell has been completely removed. Only the ordinary tomato and sesame leaves are dotted on the top, which is just right for saltiness and freshness.

He ate these ordinary dinners leisurely by himself, but felt that they were really delicious, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly curl up.After the small half of the fish was eaten, he lowered his head and wiped the corners of his mouth, took a big sip of his wine, and caught a glimpse of the girl at the opposite table smiling at him with a wine glass.The girl is very beautiful, with the iconic wheat-colored skin in southern Europe, long and big waves, a camisole and hot pants lined with a curvy and exquisite figure, although the heavy makeup is a bit uneven due to the sun, her temperament is still seductive, a glass of red wine alone , with a pot of grilled mushrooms.

He raised his wine glass politely, and returned a handsome smile. He didn't intend to strike up a conversation, but only called for a treat, and ordered another bowl of fried sliced ​​mushrooms with garlic.Who would have thought that the ingredients used were canned mushrooms, and the taste was lackluster.He frowned and pushed it aside, continuing to finish the grilled fish and pasta.

After dinner, he took his coat and walked back to the hotel slowly. The sunset was about to end and the sea breeze was pleasant.After returning to the room to take a shower, he didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or the jet lag, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.In a trance, he dreamed of a woman, covered in blood and with big wavy curly hair, chasing him closely. He ran until he was exhausted, and was about to be forced to the edge of the roof, and suddenly woke up.

It's this dream again!What is there to make life difficult?He was a little angry with himself, rubbed his eyes, and looked out the window, it seemed that it was still early morning, and the sky had already dawned.
