With a sheepish grin, Camila replied, "Sorry, I was just so scared."

Connor waved it off, "It's okay. Let's hurry up and get out of here before those locusts decide to come back." He made a conscious effort to keep his tone calm and natural.

Camila nodded.

Connor turned and started walking back to the hotel, with Camila following him. She glanced around nervously, dreading the return of the locusts.

"No need, you go and rest," Connor said.

"Goodnight, Mr.Connor," Camila said as she handed him back his suit jacket.

Taking the jacket, Connor looked into Camila's eyes and gently responded, "Goodnight."

The elevator doors slowly closed, separating them.

Back in her room, Camila took out the treasures she had collected that day and admired them once again.

Suddenly, she got a call from Claire.

"Marc came to the shop today," Claire said over the phone.

"I heard he closed down many of his shops, his wife divorced him, took the money, and fled abroad, and Scott got detained for drunk driving." A smirk of disdain crossed Claire’s face, "Broke and desperate, he comes crying and begging to recognize you again."
