    “Mr. Ziegler’s photography skills are on par with a professional’s. We’ve already nned tomorrow’s itinerary.


    “He mentioned a grove of coconut trees that’s supposed to be stunning for photos. I’m so excited for it,” Skr said as she noticed Joe browsing through the camera.


    Joe raised an eyebrow. So, they’d nned everything without him? The itinerary sounded delightful, <b>and </b>the photos were excellent, but he’d clearly been excluded.


    “You…is something bothering you?” Skr asked, puzzled by Joe’s stern expression.


    Joe’s voice was cold and distant. “Nothing.”

    her in a daze.


    Seeing Joe by her side, she felt a pang of guilt. “I’ll be fine on my own. It’s already 11:00 pm. You should go <b>back </b>to the hotel and rest Skr murmured.


    Joe looked at her intently, as if assessing something.

    “Thank you,” Skr whispered.


    Skr didn’t have the energy to say anything more. She thought to herself that she would repay his kindness by caring for him if he ever got sick in the future.
