Olivia opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was suddenly jolted awake.
She instinctively scanned her surroundings.
There weren't any noises, and even the sea was calm. She didn't know what caused her to wake.
It was late. Olivia opened the door and saw Logan, who was smoking at a distance. She had never seen Logan smoke before. But he was leaning on the railing and smoking at that very moment.
The lighting in the corridor was dim.
She could barely make out his face. His body was also shrouded in darkness. Only his fingers holding the lit cigarette were visible.
His demeanor was completely different from his usual self. He was like the new moon shrouded in the dark, exuding a sense of mystery.
As soon as he saw Olivia, he flicked the cigarette into the ocean.
He approached her and asked, "What's wrong, Ms. Fordham? Can't sleep?"
When he stepped into the light, he still had the harmless expression that he always wore. Olivia thought she was seeing things.
"Why aren't you back in your room?" Olivia was shocked. Why was he still out here at this hour?
Had he been doing this all along? Guarding her silently without her knowing?
"Yeah. I was afraid something would happen. I don't need that much sleep. I couldn't sleep even if I went back to my room. Why did you come out, Ms. Fordham?"
"I came out for some air." Olivia couldn't put her finger on what was wrong. She just felt uneasy for some reason.
"Don't worry, I've contacted the captain. They'll be back soon."
Logan observed her expression carefully. He felt like there was something she wanted to say but was holding back.
He wondered if she was frightened by the gunshots earlier.
"Ms. Fordham, if you're afraid. I can stay with you in the room. You may feel more at ease if I'm with you.
