After leaving the restrooms, Olivier immediately asked for someone to arrange for a private room.
Seeing this, Gwenda asked with great confusion, "What's wrong? Why are we changing our seats?"
"It's quiet in the private room."
Olivier did not say anything beyond that, and Gwenda did not think further about it.
...
Thus, they finished their dinner in the private room.
After that, Wendy kept saying that she wanted to have a soak in the hot springs.
But Melanie was old and did not like such hassles, so she went back first.
Olivier was worried about her, so he decided to see her safely back to the villa.
Therefore, Gwenda was the only person who could accompany Wendy to the hot springs.
After they got changed, the housekeeper led them to where the hot springs were.
Gwenda had just entered the water when she looked up and saw Gretchen having a soak not far away.
Coincidentally, Gretchen looked over too.
Their eyes met and Gwenda frowned with displeasure.
...
What a small world it was! Why on earth did she run into Gretchen wherever she went?
Similarly, Gretchen did not look happy at the sight of her stepsister.
They stared at each other for a while before Gwenda eventually looked away, electing to ignore her.
This move made Gretchen, who had been suppressing her fury, angrier than ever. She glared at Gwenda with such hatred that her face became twisted with the force of her rage.
Nearby, Wendy seemed to sense her gaze, and she moved closer to Gwenda, whispering, "Gwenda, that woman seems to be glaring at you."
Gwenda knew who she was talking about, so she cocked an eyebrow and said, "Just ignore her."
"You know her?"
"Yeah."
"She must be crazy. Are we sure that her eyes aren't going to pop out of their sockets with the way she's glaring at you?"
Wendy said seriously with a straight face.
Gwenda was amused by her words. "This is the first time I've heard that glaring can cause your eyes to pop out of their sockets."
"I think her eyes are really close to falling out."
Gwenda's smile became bigger than ever.
Not far away, Gretchen watched as they whispered to one another, occasionally looking over to her before giggling behind their hands. The flames of her fury grew.
However, since this was a public setting, she could not lose her temper. In the end, she could only bear it just like she did at the restaurant.
...
After an hour of soaking in the hot spring, Gwenda left with Wendy.
As they headed to the showers, Gwenda had walked ahead of Wendy and was not paying attention to her.
