Chapter 68
As the elevator arrived, Isabella and Gordon wasted no time leaving it. Inside
the elevator, Dariel patted his companion’s waist and said, “Check which
room they’re in.”
The girl didn’t dare to disobey and quickly ran after the duo.
Just as Isabella found her room for the night, the girl from earlier walked over
and smiled. “My makeup is smudged. I need to use a restroom.”
Isabella didn’t pay her any mind. Instead, she swiped the key card and turned
to Gordon. “This is me.”
“Can Luse your bathroom? I just want to rinse my mouth. The grease is
bothering me.” Gordon passed by her and went straight into the room.

open before going in herself.

Gordon went to the bathroom and rinsed his mouth. Soon, he came out and
said, “I’m leaving. Call me if you need anything.”
Isabella was surprised since she hadn’t expected him to be so cooperative.
-So, she wasted no time escorting him to the door.
As they stood in the corridor, Gordon suddenly turned around and hugged
her. She staggered and felt her ankle hurting. Nonetheless, she endured it
and didn’t push him away. “Mr. Dunkstein?”
“Are we friends now?” Gordon asked all of a sudden.

“If that’s the case, call my name instead,” he demanded as he released her.
Isabella sighed in relief and looked at him. Then, she called his name three
times. In the meantime, she couldn’t help but wonder why he was making
such a big fuss over such a small request.
Gordon smiled. It was obvious that he was in a fantastic mood. Then, he tilted
his head toward the door and said, “Go in. I’ll leave once your door is closed.”
One second ago, Isabella felt that “friends” sounded pleasant. The next
second, she started to feel uncomfortable. The words that came tumbling
out of his mouth made it seem as though they were more than friends. In
fact, it was as if they were a couple trying to probe whether the other party

that, she felt her smile becoming increasingly fake. Nonetheless, she swiftly
entered the room and smiled as she closed the door. After she closed the
door, she didn’t hear the sound of footsteps. Thus, she looked through the
peephole and saw that Gordon hadn’t left. Instead, he was playing with his
phone.
This is troublesome. She took a deep breath and decided to feign ignorance
as she limped toward the big, fluffy bed in the hotel room.
The stress of dealing with Louis and Jonas was already taking a huge toll on
her. Frankly, she didn’t have the energy to deal with Gordon.

Isabella tensed up immediately and became alert. She got up from the bed.
and thought something was amiss. She hurriedly limped to the door and was
going to open it when she soon remembered to check the peephole first.
Fortunately, the person outside the door wasn’t Gordon; it was just a staff.
Isabella frowned and opened the door tentatively. “Is something the matter?”
The waiter bowed and pushed a food cart forward. “Your meal is here. Please
enjoy it.”
Isabella was puzzled. “My meal?”
