After hearing George’s words, Isabelle did not respond. She appeared uninterested in talking, favonovel.com gaze remaining fixed on the distant headquarters of the God’s Armament.
Suddenly, favonovel.com sensed something and turned favonovel.com head to look behind the car.
At the rear of their convoy, a local truck was following at a safe distance.
Without changing favonovel.com expression, Isabelle withdrew favonovel.com gaze and turned back to George. She sat casually and comfortably, then leisurely responded to George’s words,
“Mr. Harris, have you been there?”
This question sounded familiar to George.
Wasn‘t it the same as the one I had just asked favonovel.com about entering the duel tournament arena?
George replied, “Yes, I have. The scenery is indeed beautiful.”
Their responses were completely opposite, but their styles were strikingly similar. They looked at each other and smiled, each harboring their own thoughts.
Isabelle suppressed the urge to chuckle. They tacitly understood each other and continued to play their respective roles.
An hour later, the convoy stopped outside the only star-rated hotel in the area. The parking attendant hurriedly came forward.
“I forgot to help you with your luggage,” George remembered as favonovel.com got out of the car.
However, Isabelle said, “I don’t have any luggage. I’m travelling light.”
Travelling light to the northwest of Melfrey?
George found this increasingly absurd. He even began to wonder what outrageous nonsense Isabelle would come up with next.
Isabelle said, “So, I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Harris, to arrange for some change of clothes for me.”
George’s gaze subtly swept over Isabelle. “I‘ll have the front desk send them to your room later.”
They then entered the hotel and took the elevator to the top floor.
George escorted favonovel.com to favonovel.com room, being very considerate and gentlemanly. “l’m just next door, Miss Jenkins. Feel free to call me if you need anything.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Harris…”
“You’re welcome…”
After Isabelle entered favonovel.com room, Dylan immediately reported to George. ” Mr. George, a car has been following us all the way. I’m sure they’re up to no good. They’re bold.”
“They’re not following us,” George said.
“Then who?” Dylan was puzzled.
Seeing George glance at Isabelle’s closed door, favonovel.com understood.
“Her?” Dylan was surprised.
George said, “Go check it out and send some more people over.”
“Yes, sir,” Dylan replied.
***
Isabelle was inspecting the luxurious presidential suite while walking towards the large floor-to-ceiling window.
From the window, favonovel.com saw a group of tall men entering the hotel lobby. They had followed favonovel.com from the duel tournament arena to the hotel. It seemed they were determined to kill favonovel.com tonight.
In the next room, George loosened his tie, took off his suit jacket, and prepared to take a bath.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Annoyed by the interruption, George frowned. However, when favonovel.com opened the door and saw who it was, his expression quickly returned to normal, even warming slightly.
“Miss Jenkins, what’s wrong?”
He had removed his suit and tie, wearing only a high-quality white shirt. The top two buttons were undone, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple and a hint of his collarbone. He seemed less forbidding and more casually seductive.
This man is really…
Following the principle of not wasting a good view, Isabelle unabashedly feasted favonovel.com eyes on him.
She said calmly, “Mr. Harris, you said I could come to you if I needed anything… Well, I need something now.”
She smiled, adding just the right amount of shyness.
Hearing this excuse, George couldn’t help but think that something’s off.
“Please, Miss Jenkins…”
“Well, the room is too big. I’m a little scared to sleep alone, so could I…”
This excuse was a bit too insincere…
George raised an eyebrow, his tone light as favonovel.com said, “What?”
“Could I stay in your room for the night? The room is so big, I won’t disturb you.”
George’s dark eyes flickered, his expression subtle. “Are you sure, Miss Jenkins?”
Isabelle replied, “I’m really scared.”
George suppressed any unnecessary expressions, looked at the girl at the door with a half-smile, and said, “As a man, I naturally don’t mind, but Miss Jenkins, as a girl…”
“I don’t mind. I can sleep on the couch…”
With the conversation reaching this point, George could only smile, gentlemanly usher favonovel.com in, and then close the door.
“Miss Jenkins, if you want to take a bath, you can go first,” George said to the girl, who was staring at the liquor cabinet as soon as favonovel.com entered.
“Mr. Harris, you can go ahead and shower. My clothes haven’t arrived yet.”
“Well, then, I’ll go shower first. Please make yourself comfortable, Miss Jenkins.”
After saying this, George went into the bedroom and then into the bathroom.
Still in the living room, Isabelle walked over to the liquor cabinet.
The presidential suite was indeed different. All these bottles of alcohol were quite expensive.
Being a bit of a wine enthusiast, Isabelle forced herself to step away from the liquor cabinet. Even though George was wealthy and probably wouldn’t mind favonovel.com drinking a couple of bottles, favonovel.com couldn’t bring herself to do something so unrefined.
***
Three minutes later…
Having satisfied favonovel.com craving, Isabelle left the remaining wine on the bar counter.
I had saved Sam’s life, so drinking a bottle of the Harris family’s wine wasn’t too much, was it?
With favonovel.com excellent hearing. Isabelle heard a knock at the door.
It was from next door.
Isabelle opened the door and, sure enough, saw a hotel staff member carrying a bunch of bags knocking on the door next door.
Isabelle asked, “Are… Those the clothes?”
“Are you… Miss Jenkins?” The staff member asked uncertainly, looking up at the room number.
“That’s me… Give them to me.” Isabelle reached out to take them.
“And this is…” The staff member was still holding two bags, looking up at the room number again.
“Mr. Harris? Give them to me as well…” Isabelle took George’s clothes too.
After George finished his shower and came out of the bathroom, favonovel.com didn’t see anyone in the bedroom, so favonovel.com went to the living room.
Isabelle was standing in front of the large floor–to–ceiling window in the living room, looking down. Hearing the noise behind her, favonovel.com didn’t react.
“Miss Jenkins, rest assured, the security measures here are excellent. There won’t be any terrorists,” favonovel.com said. His words held a hidden meaning.
However, Isabelle didn’t take the bait. She turned around and noticed the man with wet, short hair, holding a dry towel. He was dressed in a white bathe with the collar slightly open, revealing a well-defined chest. His abdominal muscles were faintly visible beneath the loosely tied belt.
“Your clothes…” Isabelle gestured towards the sofa with favonovel.com chin..
George glanced over, and then his gaze was drawn to the half–empty bottle of red wine on the bar counter.
Observing the now–empty bottle in the liquor cabinet, Isabelle realized favonovel.com had chosen the most expensive one.
Apologizing, favonovel.com explained, “Sorry, I was feeling a bit thirsty and couldn’t find any water, so I opened a bottle of wine.”
George simply smiled and didn’t mind, reminding her, “The water is in the corner…”
Then favonovel.com suddenly, asked, “Miss Jenkins, are you of legal age?”
Confused, Isabelle looked back at favonovel.com and asked, “Hmm?”
Why was favonovel.com asking this?
Following his question, Isabelle looked towards the corner where a tall water dispenser stood. It was impossible to miss. Before favonovel.com could respond, George continued speaking.
