    Even so, Zachary was not blind-he could obviously see that Rainie was gritting her teeth.


    Still, he could not help chuckling. "What are you doing here, if you''re that reluctant?”


    "Unfortunately, you''re rich and powerful, while I have to keep my job. That''s why I''m here-or did you


    think I''d willingly serve a self-important narcissist like you?”


    Zachary frowned. "I''m self-important?”


    "You pressured my manager with your status. What is that if not self- important?"


    He certainly did not leave a good impression with Rainie, and there was nothing he could say because


    she was right.


    "I''ll apologize again-I didn''t mean to do it," he said earnestly.


    "Yes, and I forgive you. Can I go now?’ Rainie pursed her lips.


    Zachary was left speechless.


    It was only natural that she was distant-and since they had just met twice, Zacahry did not dare to push


    her too far and nodded.


    "Fine, you can go."


    Rainie hurried off, though she paused at the doorway.


    Zachary believed that she was regretting it, and he could not help smiling." We can be friends-”


    "No, I just wanted to ask: am I going to be fired?”


    Zachary was left speechless again, his smile freezing on his face.


    It was a humorous sight.


    Seeing that he was not reacting, Rainie prodded him, “You''re not going toin to the manager, are


    you?"


    Zachary came to his senses and shook his head. "No."


    With that, Rainie opened the door and left in relief.


    She really was not pretending not to know him, and yet her face was Lulu’s...


    Zachary felt a sense of deja vu, back when he first met Lulu-though they were slightly different in


    personalities.


    Still, he was not giving up.


    Picking up his knife and fork, he took his time to eat, though he lingered for over two hours at his table


    before stepping outside.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    The view of the ocean was certainly good and he killed time like that until nighttime-when Rainie was


    done with work.


    Zachary quietly followed her, and it turned out that she was staying in a pretty vige near the beach.


    Most of the houses there were detached housing, and those positioned well would have a perfect view


    of the crystalline ocean.


    Some of the houses were used as lodgings as well, and it seems that the vige was lively every day


    and crowded.


    Rainie happened to be staying in one such lodging and Zachary stood outside as he studied the store


    front above.


    Whipping out his phone, he googled it-there were empty rooms since it was offseason, and he booked


    one.


    Then, he loitered outside a little before heading inside, and a well-dressed middle-aged woman named


    Barbara came immediately to assist him.


    As Zachary showed his booking, Barbara smiled. "Wee, Mr. te.”


    Zachary nodded, and she registered him at the front desk and led him upstairs, "Pleasee with me.


    I''ll take you to your room.”


    The room was clean and the furnishing unique, having a goodyout and atmosphere despite being


    quite small.


    Zachary nodded in satisfaction.


    "Please enjoy your stay!” Barbara said, and left.


    Zachary did not ask her about Rainie right away, and simply stayed in his room.


    However, soon after Barbara left, there was a knock on his door, and Zachary answered it to find


    Rainie standing outside,


    carrying a couple of white bath towels.


    "You?!" She frowned. "You didn''t follow me here, did you?"


    "I didn''t." Zachary shook his head.


    Rainie found that too much of a coincidence, but since she had no proof and he was a guest, she


    restrained herself and entered, putting the towels in the washroom.


    "My mom forgot to bring these here, so I''m putting them here now. Call the front desk if you need


    anything."


    She quickly left after that, when Zachary called out to her, "Wait."
