Walking To Their Rooms

"We'll be staying on the same floor." Big Jim told her as they exited the elevator on the top floor.

"Did you arrange that? Or is it just coincidence?" Kylie eyed Big Jim with a bit of suspicion. Since she knows the hotel and the convention is partnered with Crawford now, who knows what her company's biggest rival might be up to.

"Well, you're a smart gal, ain't ya? Of course I arranged it. I really had a deep respect for your father, so if you need something, you come on down to my room, Ms. Allison, which is just down the hall." Big Jim pointed to the end of the hall way, his room was perpendicular a window at the end.

"Wait, that's it?" She raised an eyebrow.

"You're probably thinkin' 'he's up to something'." Big Jim sighed, "Ms. Allison, let me make it clear to you, I'm retiring. There's not a darned reason for me to sabotage your trip here."

"Right..." She wasn't sure about that.

"Now, I'll let you settle in, but we're meeting up for dinner later tonight in the hotel dining room, we have it reserved. I insist, my daughter Lana seemed to be fond of you and she'll be eating with us, and you get meet my successor too, your future rival, my son-in-law."

"Pulling at my heartstrings, huh? Okay, I'll see you both then..." She said and walked towards her room, still a bit skeptical, but didn't have much choice in the matter. This was enemy territory, after all.
