"Rossie."
"Yes?" Rossie looked at Logan. He had his hand wrapped around her shoulders as he led her away.
When Rossie raised her head, Logan asked, "What are you doing?"
"Can you see that I'm entertaining the customers?" Rossie smiled brightly. The customers were drooling at the sight of her.
Otherwise, she would not have attracted Logan's attention.
Logan looked at Rossie in a daze and he then said, "Why do you need to entertain them? Let someone else do it. Didn't I tell you that I have the final say here. You don't have to do anything. Go and quickly change out of this uniform."
Then, Logan led her away in his arms. Rossie turned around to look at Zorion. Logan turned her face towards him and said, "Look this way."
Rossie lifted her head and did as she was told. The two then headed into the hotel.
Zorion took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He sat at the table as those in the room began talking about what they had just witnessed.
"I've never seen Logan treat a woman in such a manner before."
"I heard that when he first saw her, he threw away all the glasses and allowed her to use his."
"What's more, we're not short on staff. We barely have any work to do. I heard that their rooms are next to each other. Do you think they're...?"
"Isn't it obvious..."
Zorion gritted his teeth as he felt a flicker of irritation, fixing his deadly glare on the food in front of him. He took out some money and placed it on the table before heading out through the door.
He then texted Rossie, asking her to come out and meet him.
However, Rossie did not read his text, and hence, she did not show up.
Zorion stood outside, not leaving. It wasn't until night time that he saw Rossie and Logan emerging from the hotel. They seemed to be heading towards the barbecue stall. It was just the two of them, with Logan holding onto Rossie the whole time.
Rossie was quiet, but she did not reject him.
Then, Zorion gave her a call. Rossie had no choice but to answer the phone.
"Why are you calling me? I thought we had a deal? You agreed to head back home while I stay behind in Waverly Village to work."
Logan ate the kebab as he kept his eyes on her.
Zorion's voice was cold as he said, "If I see you guys together again, then I'll kill him."
Then, Zorion hung up the phone. He did not know how to describe how he was feeling, but all he knew was that he was inexplicably furious because of Rossie.
Zorion started the car and drove away. Rossie lowered her head to look at the screen of her phone, bewildered.
She really wanted to take a look around, but she did not dare to do so.
"What's going on?" Logan came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. Rossie had no choice but to say, "I used to be close with this guy in school before I was expelled. I had some savings, but he gambled it all away. I ran away in the heat of the moment, and he called to ask me to go home."
Rossie did not have a good childhood and always resorted to lying. She became so used to lying that lies came out naturally without her even blushing.
"Alright. It's no big deal. Come on, let's go. I doubt that he would dare to come here. If he does, then I'll beat him to a pulp." Rossie was dragged back.
As soon as Zorion entered the house, he kicked down a vase, shattering it into pieces.
The servants did not dare to move. At that moment, Santiago was sitting in the living room when he heard the commotion. He then came out to see what was going on only to notice the broken vase, scattered all over the floor.
"You must have lost your mind." Zorion's appearance was dishevelled. He even threw the jacket he was wearing onto the ground once he entered the house. He was overcome by anger that he could even burn the house down once he was out of control.
