After entering the elevator, seeing that Jacob only pressed the

floor where he stayed, Trevor suddenly spoke up. "There''s no

need toe up with me."

Jacob froze for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, sir.”

Only then did he press the button for his own floor. 1

The next morning, wearing a bathrobe and with the clothes he

had womst night draped over his arm, Trevor walked out of a

room and shut the door behind him before heading off in the

other direction.

Wynn had just stepped out of the elevator. 5

Her face lit up with a smile the moment she saw Trevor, and she

was about to greet him until her eyes fell on the shirt hanging

from his arm

Both the cor and shoulder bore vivid lipstick marks. ?

Her smile instantly vanished. The words on her lips died in her

Before she could recover, Trevor''s figure had already

disappeared around the corner, followed shortly by the sound of

a door opening and closing.

Still stunned, Wynn''s gaze dropped to the room number in front

But she remembered clearly that Jacob had told her Trevor was

staying in 2503. 2

She looked down at the spare keycard Jacob had just given her.

It was indeed 2503. She hadn''t remembered wrong

So, why had Trevor just walked out of 2508? 2

Pressing her lips together, she pulled out her phone and dialed

Jacob. "Who''s staying in 2508?"

Jacob was taken aback. He didn''t know how she knew, but still

answered honestly, "Ms. Rodriguez.” 1

It was as she''d expected. 7

Wynn''s fingers tightened hard around her phone. Then, she took

a deep breath before asking, "What exactly happened these past

two days?" =

If nothing had happened, how could Trevor being out of

Celeste''s room at the crack of dawn—wearing a bathrobe, with

his clothes from the night before draped over his arm? 2

Jacob hadn''t told her about the events ofst night, but since

she was asking now, he briefly filled her in. &

After finishing, he added, "After we came back to the hotel

yesterday, the boss told me I didn''t need to follow anymore. I

really don''t know what happened between themst night." 10

Wynn pressed her lips into a thin line, saying nothing. =

After hanging up, she stood frozen for a long time before finally

moving and walking toward Trevor''s room. 2

Meanwhile, Celeste woke up with a splitting headache.

For a moment, her mind was nk.

Then the scene from the bar restroomst night shed through

her memory. 2

Her face changed instantly—fully awake now. Her expression

went pale as she sat bolt upright in bed.

As she tried to recall what had happened after the restroom

incident, her eyes swept over the room, and her movement froze.

This... was her own hotel room. 2

She blinked in shock.

For a moment, she thought she was dreaming. But once she

realized she was indeed in her room, and her body felt no

particr difort, her panic slowly ebbed. ?

She picked up her phone and was about to call Matthias when

his call came in first.

"You''re awake?"

Celeste''s head still throbbed, her body heavy with fatigue. 2

“Last night in the restroom, someone covered my mouth and

nose. I think I fainted... But now I''m back in my room. What on

earth happened?”

Matthias hesitated, unwilling, but after a moment said quietly, "It

was Trevor who saved you.”

He then gave her a rough ount of what had happened.

At his words, Celeste''s hand, which had been rubbing her

temples, stilled slightly. °style
