    Lanfroze for a moment, then shot her a look of difort before turning and walking back into his room. This time, he left the door open.


    The woman hurried after him. "tan, please listen to me! I didn''t mean for things to happen like that. Can''t you give me another chance? We can finally meet up, and this is how you want to treat me?"


    tan mmed the door shut with a force that made the walls tremble. However, even through the thick wood, Be could hear the low growl that he tried to suppress. "That''s enough!"


    Benew she shouldn''t eavesdrop. She had never seenn this angry before. She closed her door quietly and pretended nothing had happened.


    At around 6:00 am, the woman seemed to have left. Be could hearn''s door opening and closing, followed by footsteps fading down the hall. It was the footsteps of one person, not two. Soon, her phone buzzed with a text fromn, "Care for a talk?"


    Be remembered the look on his face when he saw her earlier. For a split second, she wondered if he would silence her for good. However, she shook off the ridiculous thought and forced herself to go.


    When she stepped into tan''s room, the mess on the floor looked like a fight had broken out not long ago. She carefully picked her way through the debris and foun a spot to sit. "Who was that? What happened?"

He nced at Be and said, "I bet Dominic won''t stay abroad for more than two weeks. One week tops, and he''ll be back in Joville."


    Be was puzzled,n didn''t seem interested in continuing, and she knew better than to poke at someone who had juste down from an emotional storm. Later that morning, Lia was as enthusiastic as the day before. Knowing it was Lia''s first trip with Oscar, Be decided to give the couple some space. She felgned feeling unwell and stayed behind at the hotel.


    When  and Oscar returned that evening with arms full of shopping bags, the three of them boarded their flight home. As soon as the ne took off, Be felt the exhaustion hit and closed her eyes. La nudged her yfully. "Why do you look so tired? Is it because Dominic hasn''t texted you today?"


    Be shot her an irritated nce. "As if I care."


    Lia stifled augh, then leaned in to show off the ne Oscar gave. "Look at this. Nice, huh? Oscar got it for me."


    Be rolled her eyes and shoved her earbuds in, hoping to block out the shameless gloating. Thest thing she needed was to get blinded by their shy romantic inoments. Luckily, Oscar wasn''t even sitting with them.


    When they finallynded back in Joville, Be said her goodbyes to Lia and Oscar before catching a cab home.


    As she walked into the house, something at the entrance made her pause. It was Dominic''s shoes that were tossed carelessly by the door and hadn''t been put away yet.
