Upon hearing the word 'foreigners'. Hobart straightened his body restlessly.
Consequently, the female therapist who was now performing foot acupuncture on him glanced at him with a flirtatious smile before she spoke, "Sir, please stay still."
Hearing the fluent English spoken by the Korean woman, Amelia could not help glancing at Hobart pitifully. It was wise not to make any reckless comments in public.
"Wow! I feel so comfortable..."
After coming out from the foot massage room, Amelia stretched her arms lazily. Every inch of her body could not help feeling relaxed.
Although at the beginning, the female therapist did make her feel painful, soon she had gotten used to it. In fact, she might best regard this experience as painful yet enjoyable.
Hobart hurriedly flew off from the awkward scene as soon as the foot massage was over. Then he started bugging Amelia again, "Hey you promised to treat me supper. Don't you go back at your words
now!"
A promise was easy to make but hard to keep. Nonetheless, Amelia knew that she could not escape from it. She glanced at Patrick and Hobart before she acknowledged to Hobart's reminder, "I don't go back at my words. It's just that I'm not familiar with this area. Do you know any places suitable for supper?"
It was impossible for a playboy like Hobart to not know anywhere interesting for entertainment as well as nice food.
He patted his chest and said, "Of course I know. Why not you just get onto my car and I bring you there?"
Amelia somehow felt that it was inappropriate, hence she said, "I'm here with my husband."
Hobart did not seem to regard it as an issue, "Oh, then he can follow our car from the back. Problem solved!"
Patrick pursed his lips and said, "Amelia, you can use Google to search for recommendation of nearby eatery."
Amelia's eyes lit up instantly as she exclaimed, "Oh yeah! Why didn't I think of this?"
"So..." Although Patrick was staring at Amelia, his words were meant for Hobart, "It's better for you to go with my car."
"Alright!" Amelia agreed without hesitation.
"In that case, Mr. Smith, I would like to trouble you by asking you to follow our car from the back." Patrick politely said to Hobart before he turned around and spoke to Amelia softly, "Let's go to the second floor and change our clothes."
"Okay." There was nothing for Amelia to object.
"Hey! Hey you guys!" Hobart who was being left at the original spot and could not help feeling dejected. He was frustrated at the thought that Patrick had once again won the victory.
In the women's changing room.
Finley was indeed a thoughtful person. While Amelia and Patrick were having their foot massaged upstairs, she had taken their clothes left at the 201 room for washing and drying. After that, she had instructed people to standby outside the changing room so that the two of them could come over and pick up themselves later.
Amelia lowered her head to button up her sleeves. She then took the comb in front of the mirror and combed her hair. Upon making sure that there was nothing left untidied, she changed into her heels before coming out from the room.
Patrick was already waiting for her at the door.
Seeing her coming out, he straightened himself from leaning against the wall and walked over to her.
Patrick gently held her hair to the back of her ear and whispered to her ear, "Promise me that you are not going to fall into Hobart's seduction trap, can you?"
His attractively charming voice had rendered Amelia going numb on her feet. Although she was not sure if she would fall into Hobart's trap, one thing to be certain was that she had indeed fallen for Patrick's charm.
"What's wrong?" With a chuckle, Patrick reached out to her waist and pulled her closer into his arms, "If your legs are numb, why not we go back first?"
