“Lennie, I… this evening…”
“Have you finally realized it? Why did you come to my room out of the blue? I couldn’t even sleep on my bed!” Lance questioned Sasha coldly.
Nonetheless, one could tell that Lance wasn’t angry at that moment. Instead, he was merely complaining without gazing at Sasha.
Instantly, Sasha blushed.
She remembered that she was here to check up on Lance. Since Lance said he was unwell, she touched his forehead but was pinned onto the bed by Lance.
He pressed against me on the bed, all right? However, I fell asleep very soon.
Sasha was awkward upon remembering everything. She stole a glance at Lance and realized that he was emotionless, as though he didn’t remember what she did.
Her heart couldn’t help but sink at that thought.
“I… I didn’t. Since you said you were sick, I stayed beside your bed for a while but unknowingly fell asleep. I didn’t mean to do it.”
Since Lance probably didn’t remember what happened, Sasha lied to him.
Just as Sasha thought, Lance merely raised his eyebrows and glanced at her for a few seconds in response.
Sasha took a deep breath.
Well, we should have dinner now.
Sasha hopped back to her room. After freshening herself up, Sasha asked the hotel staff to deliver some food.
Since they couldn’t leave that night, Sasha decided to get some rest and depart the next day.
After the food was delivered, Sasha sat at the table and began eating the soup.
She initially thought that Lance would be here to have dinner soon. However, she didn’t hear any noise outside her room even though she had finished the bowl of soup.
What’s going on with him? Is he not going to eat?
Sasha had no choice but to stand up and hop to Lance’s room. “Lance? Why don’t you come over to have dinner? Are you not hungry?”
The room fell into a dead silence just like what happened in the evening.
Humph! Whatever!
Sasha didn’t act recklessly again to save herself from embarrassment. Since the room was silent, she returned to her room and continued eating.
Well, I’ll just leave a portion of the food to Lance.
However, Sasha wasn’t aware that Lance wasn’t in the room.
In fact, Lance had already left.
“Mr. Hayes, I’ve everything planned out. Howard will be back in your room by midnight. So, Ms. Wand won’t suspect anything when she opens the door and sees him.”
