When the elevator reached her floor, Harriet used her room card
to open the door, and the staff had already delivered her
luggage.
It was a VIP room with an ocean view.
Harriet opened the curtains and looked out at the sea and
beach outside the hotel. Suddenly, she recalled the scene
downstairs just now-Ellsworth had agreed to host a wedding
banquet for himself and Kelsey soon.
With her arms gently crossed over her chest, Harriet couldn’t
help but smile.
She had tried her best; she had no regrets.
After standing by the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, Harriet
grabbed her phone and room card and went downstairs.
It was a rare moment of relaxation, with such beautiful scenery-
she couldn’t let it go to waste.

So, after leaving the hotel, she went to see the sea, walked on
the beach, and ate a lot of delicious food outside.
Here, no one knew her. She was just an ordinary traveler.
Meanwhile, Ellsworth was having a lively time with the others.
In the evening, Johnathan and Darrick arrived as well.
Johnathan asked him, “Where’s Hara?”
Ellsworth replied calmly, “She should be here by now.”
Johnathan laughed, “What do you mean, ‘should be here’?
Haven’t you contacted Hara at all? Even if you’re getting divorced, since you’re both on a business trip in the same place, you should at least let her know.”
At the mention of divorce, Ellsworth shot him a cold look.
Seeing this, Johnathan made a zipping-his-lips gesture, not bothering to say more.
Kelsey was here this time too, so how could he possibly remember Hara.
Ellsworth had his own lively world, and Harriet had her own ways of passing the time.

After dining out, she went to the night market and bought a
beautiful large conch shell at a stall, planning to bring it back as a gift for Kathie.
A little after ten, with her feet and calves tired from walking,
Harriet headed back to the hotel.
At this hour, the hotel was quite lively, with some people
heading out for fun and others returning-everyone was here for
the business exchange event.
Harriet saw a few familiar faces, but since everyone seemed
busy, she didn’t go over to greet them and went straight
upstairs.
It wasn’t until she entered the elevator that her ears finally
found some peace.
When the elevator reached her floor, the long corridor was even
quieter; her high heels made no sound at all on the carpet.
She arrived at her room, pressed her key card to the sensor, and
the door clicked open.
Harriet pushed the door open and entered. The lights in the
room were on-she had left them that way before going out.

She took off her high heels and changed into the disposable slippers provided by the hotel. After putting down the conch shell and just as she was about to rest, a tall figure suddenly
walked out of the bathroom.
Ellsworth?
Why was he in her room? How did he get in?
Staring at Ellsworth in surprise, Harriet asked, “How did you get
in?”
By the floor-to-ceiling window, hearing Harriet call him, Ellsworth
looked up calmly, his expression unruffled, as if nothing was
out of the ordinary.
He glanced at Harriet, continued to towel his hair, and ignored
her, not saying a word.
Ellsworth’s indifference left Harriet puzzled. She asked, “Is this
your room?”
Ellsworth, with his back to her, didn’t respond, making Harriet
feel awkward.
Her toes curled inside her slippers. Seeing that he was ignoring
her just like before, Harriet explained, “My key card opened the
door, so I thought this was my room.”
Ellsworth still ignored her, so Harriet added, “When I came over this afternoon, the staff also put my luggage here.”
At that moment, Ellsworth tossed aside the towel, ran his
fingers through his hair, turned to look at her, and asked, “You
came over this afternoon?”
Standing not far from the door, Harriet replied gently, “Yes, I
arrived a little after four.”
Then she said to Ellsworth, “Maybe the organizers made a
mistake. I’ll go get another room.”
Although he had been coming home every day recently, this
was a business trip.
He probably wanted to be alone with Kelsey, not accidentally
end up sharing a room with her. What if Kelsey came looking for
him later?
That would only make things even more awkward for her.
She might as well vacate the room for them as soon as
possible.

As she spoke, Harriet walked over to the coffee table, set her suitcase on the floor and opened it, packed away the clothes
she had taken out earlier, and turned to put the pretty conch
shell into the suitcase as well.
