“Karl, where are you taking Mr. Hayes?”
“Don’t worry, Wendy. I’m bringing him to see Mr. Hayes Sr. Please stay here and take care of the two children. Don’t let them roam around, okay?” reminded Karl.
The situation was bad, considering how things had developed up till this point. A bullet had triggered Sebastian unexpectedly.
Karl took Roxanne too as they left Frontier Bay and locked up the entire place.
A storm seems to be coming its way…
Meanwhile, Sasha slept very well that night.
She had no memory of how she got back safely when she woke up in the morning. Staring at the crystal chandelier above her head and the white sheets underneath her, she slowly recalled what happened last night.
So, I’m in a hotel? Did Sebastian send me here?
A warm, fuzzy feeling rose within her at the thought of it. When she was about to go wash up, she noticed two paper bags on the other side of the bed. She took a peep inside and found two brand new sets of women’s clothing.
These are…”
Ring! Ring! Ring!
“Hello?”
“Hi, good morning! May I know if you’re up and if you’d like some breakfast in bed?”
It was the receptionist checking in on her preference.
Stupefied, Sasha asked directly, “Who made this arrangement?”
The receptionist replied, “It was the gentleman who sent you back last night. He has ordered breakfast for you and also paid for the room.”
Sasha staggered.
Conflicted, she did not know how to respond. “What about the clothes?” she asked naively while staring at the two bags in her hand.
“The gentleman has instructed us to get them ready for you. Miss, shall we send your breakfast up now?” asked the receptionist again, politely.
Sasha agreed, then hung up the phone.
Why is he so nice all of a sudden?
This is very uncharacteristic of him to bring me to a hotel and thoughtfully prepare everything for me.
Hmm, has he… not lost his memory?”
Unwittingly, that thought flashed through her mind while showering, but she dismissed it soon enough as she recalled his clarification.
He said he’s doing all these for the sake of the two kids.
