She whirled around and opened the door to her hotel suite, the living room immediately greeting her as she stepped out.
The suite’s living area was modest, and the couch appeared rather cramped with Ian, Dylan, and Walter all hunkered down on it.
Ian had been tracing routes on a map but paused, catching sight of Maja in her pajamas. Maja herself had only just realized she was still in her nightwear and that her luggage had been taken away, leaving her with nothing but the pajamas she'd set aside the night before.
Ian, not seeing her suitcase, assumed she came in a rush and hadn't brought anything.
“Go back to sleep. I’ll go buy you some clothes,” he said.
“Oh,” was all she managed, a flush creeping onto her cheeks as she shut the door.
Ian spread the map in front of the other two men, pointing to a couple of sites he’d mentioned earlier. “These are our entry points. Take a look. I’ll be right back with some clothes.” With that, he stood and left.
Dylan and Walter, both bachelors, were surprised to see the big boss himself heading out to shop for women's apparel.
Clothing sizes in the West were different than back home; one had to measure to know for sure, and the styles varied greatly unless one opted for stores specifically catering to the Chinese diaspora.
Ian returned after forty minutes, arms laden with shopping bags, and headed straight to the bedroom.
Fresh from her shower, Maja was waiting. Ian presented the clothes, “I had them sanitized at a high temperature.”
She found they fit well and, grateful, pecked him on the cheek, “Thanks.”
Breakfast was already served, and the three men were deep in discussion about breaking into the research facility. With no way to join in, Maja quietly ate.
Suddenly, more food appeared in her bowl. She turned to Ian.
“You need to eat more meat, you’re eating for two now.”
With the presence of Dylan and Walter, she felt a twinge of embarrassment but nodded.
Dylan, following Ian's lead, also used his utensils to serve her more meat.
Maja stiffened slightly but said nothing.
Soon, Walter joined in, offering her vegetables with his fork, drawing scrutinizing glances from Ian and Dylan.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
