âLennie, I⦠this eveningâ¦â
âHave you finally realized it? Why did you come to my room out of the blue? I couldnât even sleep on my
bed!â Lance questioned Sasha coldly.
Nonetheless, one could tell that Lance wasnât angry at that moment. Instead, he was merely
complaining without gazing at Sasha.
Instantly, Sasha blushed.
She remembered that she was here to check up on Lance. Since Lance said he was unwell, she touched
his forehead but was pinned onto the bed by Lance.
He pressed against me on the bed, all right? However, I fell asleep very soon.
Sasha was awkward upon remembering everything. She stole a glance at Lance and realized that he
was emotionless, as though he didnât remember what she did.
Her heart couldnât help but sink at that thought.
âI⦠I didnât. Since you said you were sick, I stayed beside your bed for a while but unknowingly fell
asleep. I didnât mean to do it.â
Since Lance probably didnât remember what happened, Sasha lied to him.
Just as Sasha thought, Lance merely raised his eyebrows and glanced at her for a few seconds in
response.
Sasha took a deep breath.
Well, we should have dinner now.
Sasha hopped back to her room. After freshening herself up, Sasha asked the hotel staff to deliver some
food.
Since they couldnât leave that night, Sasha decided to get some rest and depart the next day.
After the food was delivered, Sasha sat at the table and began eating the soup.
She initially thought that Lance would be here to have dinner soon. However, she didnât hear any noise
outside her room even though she had finished the bowl of soup.
Whatâs going on with him? Is he not going to eat?
Sasha had no choice but to stand up and hop to Lanceâs room. âLance? Why donât you come over to
have dinner? Are you not hungry?â
The room fell into a dead silence just like what happened in the evening.
Humph! Whatever!
Sasha didnât act recklessly again to save herself from embarrassment. Since the room was silent, she
returned to her room and continued eating.
Well, Iâll just leave a portion of the food to Lance.
However, Sasha wasnât aware that Lance wasnât in the room.
In fact, Lance had already left.
âMr. Hayes, Iâve everything planned out. Howard will be back in your room by midnight. So, Ms. Wand
wonât suspect anything when she opens the door and sees him.â
After a series of terrorist attacks that happened in the day, flashes of fire would appear high in the air
occasionally at midnight. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and one could hear people
moaning bitterly from time to time.
Lance was still wearing blue hoodies, a pair of slacks, and sports shoes. He didnât utter a word and
looked like a mature man.
At that moment, he was no different from a university student.
âKeep an eye on her!â
After giving the short instruction, Lance got into the car and left.
Ten minutes later, a black car pulled up by the hotelâs entrance.
âExcuse me, may I ask if a lady named Nancy stays here? Iâm her friend. Would you mind telling me
which room she stays in?â
âIâm sorry. We canât provide you with the information, for itâs related to our customerâs privacy.â
The principled hotelâs staff declined the womanâs request right away.
Unexpectedly, the woman wasnât upset but took out her name card smilingly. âItâs fine. Just tell her that
Iâm Willow. She will know who I am.â
The staff hesitated for a while.
Well, it doesnât matter if I make a phone call to confirm her identity.
Finally, one of them grabbed the phone to call Sasha.
âHello?â
âIs this Ms. Nancy? May I ask if you have a friend called Willow Fischer?â
Willow?
Sasha was having dinner when she received the call. She was a little shocked upon hearing the name.
âYes, whatâs the matter?â
The hotelâs staff continued, âSheâs here to see you and is waiting in our lobby. Would you want to come
down to meet her? Or should we allow her to go upstairs?â
Sasha was shocked and rendered speechless.
Why did Willow come here? Whatâs going on?
Is she here for business?
At that moment, Sasha was confused but also happy to meet her best friend here.
âAlright, please let her come up. Since my leg is injured, itâs not that convenient for me to go down.â
Sasha excitedly asked the staff to bring Willow to her room.
It had been quite a long time since Sasha met Willow.
A few minutes later, Sasha felt a little weird because Willow wasnât here yet. Nonetheless, the man, who
stayed next to her room and didnât answer the door previously, showed up.
âLance? Youâre finally here. Are you hungry?â
