She bit her lip hard to maintain her composure.
“Fine, go do your task.
I won’t get in your way.
Good luck,” she retorted, then strode away, hips swaying.
Passing by Hannah, she shot her a look of pure disdain.
“I’ll check you in,” Winston offered, his brow furrowing.
“No, thanks.
I can handle it,” Hannah replied firmly.
Winston paused, then relented.
“If you need anything, just call me.

“WiLL do.

As Hannah entered the hall, she came across a handsome young man surrounded by bodyguards.
He was chatting with his entourage but stopped as soon as he spotted Hannah, his eyes brightening.
He approached swiftly.
“Hey there, beautiful.
Need any help?” he asked with a playful grin.
Hannah, though internally repulsed, masked her feelings with a faint smile.
“No, I’m good, thanks.

He took the rejection in stride, still smiling, and left with his entourage.
As Hannah walked past, she overheard a snippet of his conversation.
“Get more people on it, we need to find him…”

After slipping into a new dress and applying some basic makeup, she heard a knock at her door.
Opening it, she found Winston standing there, a food cart in tow.
“Breakfast,” he announced.
Raising an eyebrow, she stepped aside.
“Since when did you start doing a hotel waiter gig?”
Winston, pushing the cart into the room, responded, “The boss insisted I stick with you at all times, except when you’re sleeping.

“I’m not a captive, you know.
Plus, you promised to help me find him.
