Leah gave her an ambiguous look which went without saying.
Aurora wanted to laugh it off, but still, she explained, "Nope. He is just a senior in the university."
Leah wasn't convinced, she laughed and didn't say more.
Alex's attitude towards Aurora was like a boyfriend rather than a senior.
It also made sense that the couple in the company would somehow keep their relationship a secret for any inconvenience caused.
Though she treated Aurora as her close friend, she wouldn't force her to admit her relationship with Alex against Aurora's will.
They took a bath, changed clothes and went downstairs for a meal.
Alex filled their cups with lemonade, "I've ordered some specialities. This is the menu and we can add more if you want."
Leah shook her head, "Nope, I don't need more."
"Neither do I." Aurora put the menu aside, "I'm okay with that."
"Take it easy. You should relax before the competition. Being nervous would otherwise hinder your performance."
Alex was speaking to them with a smile, while eyes were concentrated on Aurora
Aurora and Leah didn't notice it, and they nodded their heads.
Alex had strong professional skills, otherwise, he could barely succeed in getting his footing in the t-shine company in a short period.
"Are there any places you want to visit? We can hang around tomorrow for relaxation and inspiration."
Hearing his words, Aurora looked up and asked, "Alex, do you know how far is the earthquake site from it?"
Alex took out his phone and had it checked.
"It's not far from here. Do you want to go there?" There was a warm smile on his face. "Let's head there tomorrow if you want."
Aurora nodded, and looked back at Leah, "Leah, how about going with us?"
Leah immediately waved her hands and shook her head, "Nah, I'll stay in the hotel."
Leah behaved as if she would become a third wheel tomorrow.
Aurora realized Leah failed to get her point and that she didn't trust what she just said in the room.
When Aurora was about to explain this, Alex responded, "Then have a nice rest tomorrow."
And then he asked Aurora, "how about setting off at 9:00 a. m.?"
Aurora was surprised, and sooner she replied, "OK."
...
Sion arrived at midnight so he called a taxi to the hotel.
The waiter at the reception said with some regret when seeing them arriving who dressed and looked dignified, "I'm so sorry we only have two rooms left."
They were a bit embarrassed when hearing this, and Charlie proposed, "How about looking for another hotel?"
The waiter responded immediately, "It must be the same. Usually, the hotels in River Green are full after 8:00 p. m. in recent years. You may have a look but I'm not sure the rooms are still available when you come back..."
It was a hard choice.
A room could only accommodate two people at most, and it was no doubt that the two male doctors would stay in one room.
And only another male doctor would live with Nevaeh then...
Nevaeh appeared to be embarrassed and hesitating while her heart was actually full of happiness.
Charlies and Tommy stared at Sion at the same time, waiting for him to speak.
Upon seeing this, the waiter responded immediately, "One of them is a suite which is separated into the inner room and outer room, with a partition door and a small living room in the middle. And in most cases, it is also appropriate for two close friends of different sex..."
"Then I live with Charlie," Tommy smiled, "Dr Carroll, you are more familiar with Dr Burns, so it should be OK for you to live in one room, I suppose?"
