“Marie, do you want to stay upstairs or downstairs?”
Being in the same room with such a handsome guy, Mariela felt a bit nervous and uneasy. “I… I can do with either of them.”

Marie’s face turned a bit red.“Okay.”
Lennon could tell that Marie seemed a bit nervous here. He said, “Take a look and let me know if you need anything. I’ll go upstairs and take a shower.”
“Wait a moment.”
Lennon stopped and turned his head to look at Mariela.“What’s up?”
Mariela opened her backpack and took out a bottle of milk from inside. She handed it to him.“Lenny, could you please help me contact one testing agency? The milk may be drugged.”
Lennon’s eyes narrowed.“Does someone want to harm you?”
Mariela nodded solemnly. “I think so, but I’m not sure either. It’s better to be cautious.”
“Okay, leave this matte
to me.”
Lennon took out his phone and made a phone call.
“Come over now. I have something for you to do,” Lennon said over the phone and walked away. His figure disappeared at the corner of the building.
Mariela let out a breath and relaxed.
When she handed the milk to Lennon, she unexpectedly looked into his black and deep eyes. Mariela felt like her heartbeat stopped.

After Lennon left, Mariela looked around the suite.
It was evident that someone lived here. She noticed personal belongings placed in many places in the living room as if someone had been living there for a long time.

Mariela did not think too much. It had nothing to do with her.

her luggage in the bedroom and then realized that the suitcase only contained some spare clothes and skincare products. She had no slippers for showering.
She was thinking about asking Lennon for help when the doorbell rang.
Mariela walked over and opened the door.
The waiter, dressed in a hotel uniform, held a tray in one hand and carried a bag in the other.“Hello, I am here to deliver something to Mr. Stark.”
Mariela took the milk from the tray and the bag from the waiter.“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
After Mariela closed the door, she looked at the warm milk in her hand with confusion.
