The receptionist glanced from her to Marco and said enthusiastically,
“It’s the presidential suite on the top floor, though. It’s more than enough for two people, especially a couple.”
Loraine reddened and said, “We are not a couple.”
Shocked, the receptionist quickly apologized again. “I'm sorry. My mistake. You looked Like a couple who had a
fight and were asking for two rooms.”
Kim, who had been with them all this while, quickly chimed in, “They are a divorced couple, actually.”

It was as though a weight hung over the atmosphere immediately.
Loraine shrugged.
“Don’t worry about it. I'LL just go to another hotel.”
Marco grabbed her hand and said firmly, “The news of the plane’s hijack has probably been spread by now. The
police haven't cleared up what happened to the public yet. If you leave now, the media will get pictures of you
and likely create fake news.”
Loraine hesitated. “But...”
“We're already here as a token of Mr. Gray's gratitude. We shouldn't just leave,” Marco said, staring at her.
“Besides, what are you afraid of anyway? There's enough space in the presidential suite. You sleep in the bed,
and I'll take the sofa.”
Marco felt a surge of joy the instant he noticed the change in
Loraine’s attitude.

The instant he spotted them, Jones greeted them warmly.

“Oh my, look at that! We booked this hotel as well.”
Loraine’s eyes brightened as she turned to them. She didn’t notice that
Marco's eyes did the opposite.
Marco was taken aback to see Davy and his family here unexpectedly.
Anxiety crept over Marco when Sameen caught sight of Loraine. She approached Loraine and inquired, “Loraine,
which room is yours? I'll cto visit you when | have sfree time.”
Loraine signed as she expressed her disappointment.
“The hotel has only one room left. Marco and | don’t know what we should do.”
