Chapter 71 Because I Regret What I Said

• Eliza and Benjamin’s suite was located one floor above the administration office, so there were not many guests on their floor to begin with. Furthermore, Cody’s tall figure coupled with his broad shoulders only made him stand out even more as he leaned his body against the side of the wall a distance away from the door.
• I can’t even pretend that I didn’t see him, she thought. The moment she opened her front door, his sharp gaze immediately shifted to her. Her first instinct was to escape her surroundings, but her body stiffened as she maintained her stoic expression while returning his stare. Her voice was pleasant and gentle when she spoke. “What a coincidence, Mr. Brooks. Are you staying in this hotel too?” She then wore an exaggerated look as she pressed a palm against her chest, as if she was extremely impressed to have ran into him once again.
• He only gave her a cold glare as he completely ignored all the dramatic acts that she did. After he shoved his phone into his trouser pocket, he then moved his long legs and walked toward her. She was shocked and before she had a chance to react to the situation, he had already grabbed her hand before leading her toward the elevator.
