Lunch Date at the Hotel @ Mab and Jax
The lobby of the great Nakshatra hotel was unlike anywhere Jaxon Reed had ever been to. He had heard the rumors about the Zaman family, of course, which had been reason enough to keep his eyes on his rearview mirror while driving into Hedon, but standing inside that luxurious building was an experience in itself.
It had almost taken the wolf a whole ten minutes to get used to the overlap of conversations, and the constant buzz of activity that must've kept a place like that running, but he did eventually make it to the large reception desk. He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to make himself look a tad more put together (if his choice for attire wasn't doing that already), and cleared his throat, trying to get the staff's attention. "Jaxon Reed," he said, offering the receptionst lady a nod. "I'm here to see Mabile Zaman?"
The receptionist's fingers paused over her keyboard, a flicker of hesitation crossing her face at the casual mention of the hotel owner's name, and cleared her screen in a swift motion before looking up at Jax. 'Miss Zaman is expecting you, Mr. Reed. She is currently finishing up a meeting, but she asked that you wait for her in the lounge area. May I offer you a drink while you wait?' Reed shook his head, politely declining the offer for now, and was taken to lounge.
He chose one of the low leather armchairs positioned with a clear view of the grand staircase and the private elevators. Settling back into the deep cushion, he crossed one ankle over his knee and let his gaze drift back up to the gold-leaf ceiling, waiting for his date. Wow, was he nervous
