"Anyway, we still have a guest. Of course, I invited him so that we can thank him." Alice said and asked Arkus to enter the apartment.

    As they heard about the owner already there in the Resorts, all the employees stopped cleaning for the moment. Out of respect for the employees they line up as they bow their head slightly for the owner to walk among them. When Gideon passed by, the employees greeted him politely, knowing that they could be asked or talked to by the owner at any time."Good morning, Sir Gideon—" Gideon interrupted Lazaro's speech because of his annoyance with him."Let's talk later, Lazaro." and he turned his attention to the employees.

You confessed to him?”“No–he made me confess. And…And when I said that it was me—” Isabel looked around them before completing her sentence."What?

You make me nervous," Isabel sighed as she stroked her brother's hair."Sister.. how long will I suffer from asthma? I'm jealous of my classmates who can do what they want. How can I have a girlfriend if I can't defend myself against those who fight with me?" Isaac explained, disappointed in himself."Isaac, you are strong and smart; I'm sure someone will like you just as much, but this time prioritize your studies and your health first, so I’m not getting worried anymore."Isaac gave a slight nod and smile.

But at Resorts I rarely see them together.” Alice answered.Isabel let out a sigh. "Maybe Gideon is really busy at work, maybe he needs help from Ms. Freya, that's why she's there too." she replied, trying to calm herself down."Hmm, it's better to trust your boyfriend, Isabel. Besides, they've only been in the City for two days, maybe Freya will just get really close, taking advantage of the fact that you're not by Sir Gideon's side."Isabel nodded in agreement with what Alice said. "I trust Gideon, but Ms. Freya no—Haist, I don't want to think bad of Gideon, he promised me!" She stood up and went to the kitchen to drink
