The next morning, Larry woke up to a faint headache. With Roxanne in mind, he tidied himself up and headed to the room next door.
Right when he opened the door, he saw the door to the left of Roxanne's room being pulled open at almost the same time. The next moment, a familiar figure walked out.
Lucian was also worried about Roxanne, so he had come out to check on her. To his surprise, he ran into Larry.
When he met the latter's eyes, he knitted his brows lightly. Nonetheless, he greeted Larry politely. “It's been a while, Mr. Morrison.”
Larry recognized Lucian. However, he was hesitant to speak first.
After all, the conference organizer was the one who booked the hotel for them. It was just an average hotel in Bellridge, and considering Lucian's status, he thought there was no reason for him to stay at a place like this.
It was only when Lucian spoke to Larry that the latter was sure of the former's identity. After a short pause, Larry smiled and nodded. “Hello.” Lucian gave a nod in response and walked up to Roxanne's door nonchalantly before knocking on it.
Larry stiffened, and a thought immediately ran through his head.
Did Lucian check in to this hotel because of Roxanne? What's going on between them?
With that in mind, Larry hesitated for a bit before approaching Lucian. “Mr. Farwell, do you need anything from Roxanne?” he asked casually.
Raising his brow, Lucian replied, “She wasn't feeling well last night, so I brought her back. Naturally, I have to check on her.”
His answer confirmed the doubts Larry had.
The latter smiled gently. “It's nice of you to be concerned, Mr. Farwell. But I don't think Roxanne wants to see you.”
