As the elevator arrived, Isabella and Gordon wasted no time leaving it. Inside
the elevator, Dariel patted his companion’s waist and said, “Check which
room they’re in.”
The girl didn’t dare to disobey and quickly ran after the duo.
Just as Isabella found her room for the night, the girl from earlier walked over
and smiled. “My makeup is smudged. I need to use a restroom.”
Isabella didn’t pay her any mind. Instead, she swiped the key card and turned
to Gordon. “This is me.”
“Can Luse your bathroom? I just want to rinse my mouth. The grease is
bothering me.” Gordon passed by her and went straight into the room.

Isabella felt exasperated, especially when he didn’t even ask for her
permission before entering. As a result, she could only leave the door wide
open before going in herself.

Gordon went to the bathroom and rinsed his mouth. Soon, he came out and
said, “I’m leaving. Call me if you need anything.”
Isabella was surprised since she hadn’t expected him to be so cooperative.
-So, she wasted no time escorting him to the door.
As they stood in the corridor, Gordon suddenly turned around and hugged
her. She staggered and felt her ankle hurting. Nonetheless, she endured it
and didn’t push him away. “Mr. Dunkstein?”
“Are we friends now?” Gordon asked all of a sudden.

“If that’s the case, call my name instead,” he demanded as he released her.
Isabella sighed in relief and looked at him. Then, she called his name three
times. In the meantime, she couldn’t help but wonder why he was making
such a big fuss over such a small request.
Gordon smiled. It was obvious that he was in a fantastic mood. Then, he tilted
his head toward the door and said, “Go in. I’ll leave once your door is closed.”
One second ago, Isabella felt that “friends” sounded pleasant. The next
second, she started to feel uncomfortable. The words that came tumbling
out of his mouth made it seem as though they were more than friends. In
fact, it was as if they were a couple trying to probe whether the other party
was interested in taking their relationship a step further. As she thought of

that, she felt her smile becoming increasingly fake. Nonetheless, she swiftly
entered the room and smiled as she closed the door. After she closed the
door, she didn’t hear the sound of footsteps. Thus, she looked through the
peephole and saw that Gordon hadn’t left. Instead, he was playing with his
phone.
This is troublesome. She took a deep breath and decided to feign ignorance
as she limped toward the big, fluffy bed in the hotel room.
The stress of dealing with Louis and Jonas was already taking a huge toll on
her. Frankly, she didn’t have the energy to deal with Gordon.
As she lay down, drowsiness quickly overcame her.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the
door.

and thought something was amiss. She hurriedly limped to the door and was
going to open it when she soon remembered to check the peephole first.
Fortunately, the person outside the door wasn’t Gordon; it was just a staff.
Isabella frowned and opened the door tentatively. “Is something the matter?”
The waiter bowed and pushed a food cart forward. “Your meal is here. Please
enjoy it.”
Isabella was puzzled. “My meal?”
“Yes.” The waiter was sure and showed her the order slip.
Isabella checked the room number and confirmed it was hers. Yet, the payer.

“Could it be Gordon?”

Her mind was a mess as she looked at the waiter bringing the food into the
room.
“Please enjoy the steamed egg.”

Isabella licked her lips and guessed that Gordon had to have noticed her
preferences during their dinner earlier. Then, he secretly ordered another.
meal for her. Her mind was buzzing at the implications. As soon as the waiter
left, she collapsed into a chair, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
When she glanced at the clock on the wall, she saw it was almost 1.00AM. Is
Gordon out of his mind? she thought.

She felt sleep taking over her brain as she leaned into the chair. Even the

tempting aroma of the steamed egg couldn’t keep her awake. Although she
was half-asleep, her nerves were still tense.
After some time, another series of knocks echoed yet again, startling Isabella
and causing her to almost fall off the chair. She clenched her fists before
taking several deep breaths to calm down and opening the door.
Outside the room was the same waiter as before. He had the same smile as
he said, “Hello. Here’s your meal.”
Isabella’s mind went blank, and she exploded, shouting, “I didn’t order any
food!”
The waiter was startled. He looked aggrieved as he handed over the order.
“Are you sure you didn’t order this?”

Isabella snatched the order and scanned it. In that split second, her eyes
widened in astonishment. The originally anonymous payer in the earlier

receipt was replaced with her account. She couldn’t even deny it as that was
definitely her phone number.
“Miss?” The waiter called out.
Isabella was dumbfounded. Then, she opened the door wider and said with
an expressionless face, “Just bring it in.”
The waiter was confused as he brought the food inside, casting strange
glances at Isabella from time to time.
After the waiter left, Isabella quickly checked the dishes.
Pork ribs. It was the same dish I had at The Red House tonight.

She grabbed her hair in frustration and immediately called Gordon.
It took a while for Gordon to answer. He sounded displeased as he grumbled,
“Hello?”
Isabella could tell he was sleeping. She hesitated momentarily before asking,
“Gordon, did you order food for me?”
“What?” Gordon was confused. Then, he looked at the screen before inquiring,
“Isabella?”
Isabella rolled her eyes and was certain it wasn’t Gordon. The man was
clearly out of it. She sighed in relief and said, “Sorry. I made a mistake. Go
back to sleep.” Then, she hung up without giving Gordon a chance to speak.
Her surroundings fell silent as she placed her phone aside. Plus, the two

dishes emitted an irresistible fragrance, making the atmosphere even more
eerie. It was like background music in a horror movie, making something
innocuous seem even more terrifying than it was supposed to be. Isabella
wiped her face and felt her legs weaken as she went to the bathroom to look
in the mirror. As she laid her eyes on the woman in the mirror, she saw that
her face was deathly pale under the lighting. She looked like a right fright.
Finally, she closed her eyes as she leaned against the sink. After a while, she
decided to take a nice, warm shower before confronting the idiot who kept
sending her meals when all she wanted to do was sleep.
