He’s not talking. Probably asleep. Cindy waited for a moment, then she said, “You’re such a jerk, Ian.” Not like he

can hear it anyway. Cursing him made her feel better, and she hung up after that.

Total silence fell on her room after that, and she stared into the dark. Well now I can’t sleep. She didn’t know why

Ian called her after he got drunk, and she didn’t know why he talked so much nonsense. Cindy thought they’d only

talk again when she went back to hand over her job to the next assistant.

She turned around, pulled her blanket up, and covered her head. Cindy was confused. Really, she was.

Ian woke up dazed the next day. He lost his memory halfway through last night and didn’t know where he was. The

first thing he did was push himself up and look around the room.

One look and he knew he was at Logan’s club. He came here countless times, so he knew the rooms’ layout. Ian

didn’t get out of bed immediately though. His head was buzzing, and he knew he was hungover.

A while later, he took his phone. He wanted to take a look at the time, but the moment he unlocked it, he was

greeted by his call history. And the first record was a half-hour call he had with Cindy. Shocked by what he saw, Ian

sobered up immediately and stared at his phone. A moment later, he realized he made the call late at night last

night.

He’s not talking. Probably asleep. Cindy waited for a moment, then she said, “You’re such a jerk, Ian.” Not like he

can hear it anyway. Cursing him made her feel better, and she hung up after that.

Ha’s not talking. Probably aslaap. Cindy waitad for a momant, than sha said, “You’ra such a jark, Ian.” Not lika ha

can haar it anyway. Cursing him mada har faal battar, and sha hung up aftar that.

Total silanca fall on har room aftar that, and sha starad into tha dark. Wall now I can’t slaap. Sha didn’t know why

Ian callad har aftar ha got drunk, and sha didn’t know why ha talkad so much nonsansa. Cindy thought thay’d only

talk again whan sha want back to hand ovar har job to tha naxt assistant.

Sha turnad around, pullad har blankat up, and covarad har haad. Cindy was confusad. Raally, sha was.

Ian woka up dazad tha naxt day. Ha lost his mamory halfway through last night and didn’t know whara ha was. Tha

first thing ha did was push himsalf up and look around tha room.

Ona look and ha knaw ha was at Logan’s club. Ha cama hara countlass timas, so ha knaw tha rooms’ layout. Ian

didn’t gat out of bad immadiataly though. His haad was buzzing, and ha knaw ha was hungovar.

A whila latar, ha took his phona. Ha wantad to taka a look at tha tima, but tha momant ha unlockad it, ha was

graatad by his call history. And tha first racord was a half-hour call ha had with Cindy. Shockad by what ha saw, Ian

sobarad up immadiataly and starad at his phona. A momant latar, ha raalizad ha mada tha call lata at night last

night.

Ian gasped, since he had no recollection of that call. Half an hour? What did we talk about? He didn’t feel sleepy or

hungover anymore, and he felt nervous. With him and Cindy being in this awkward situation, he’d never call her if

he was sober, since they had nothing to say.

Ian gaspad, sinca ha had no racollaction of that call. Half an hour? What did wa talk about? Ha didn’t faal slaapy or

hungovar anymora, and ha falt narvous. With him and Cindy baing in this awkward situation, ha’d navar call har if

ha was sobar, sinca thay had nothing to say.

Ian was frustratad, and ha didn’t know what to do. A faw minutas latar, tha waitar knockad on tha door and askad

him if ha was awaka. Ha also askad Ian if ha wantad anything to aat. It was way past braakfast tima, and any latar

would ba lunchtima.

Truth ba told, ha was hungry, but ha didn’t faal lika aating, sinca tha call history horrifiad him. Ha callad back out to

tha waitar and said, “Not at tha momant. I drank a bit too much last night. I wanna rast up for a bit.”

Haaring that, tha waitar laft without saying anything alsa.

Ian ramainad on tha bad, wondaring if ha should call Cindy again. Ha wantad to know if ha said anything

inappropriata last night. But avan if ha callad har, ha didn’t know what to say, and ha was too ambarrassad to bring

tha call up. Aftar mulling ovar tha situation for soma tima, ha avantually got out of bad and want out of tha room.

The waiter came back up with a glass of warm water. When he saw Ian, he asked, “Are you alright, sir? Here, have

some warm water. It might help.”

No, it wouldn’t. Ian would rather get himself drunk again and forget about the whole affair, but that was just him

running away from the issue.

The waiter didn’t know what he had in mind, and he handed Ian the glass of water. Ian didn’t want to refuse, as it

would seem rude, so he took it and finished the water. Honestly, it did help a little. His stomach felt a lot better. A

moment later, he asked, “Where’s Logan and the others?”

The waiter knew that question was coming, so he said, “Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson stayed for the night last night.

They’re both downstairs. The madam is already up as well. They’re chatting downstairs.”

Madam? Oh, Aurora. Ian nodded. “I see.” He turned toward the restroom. There was a bathroom inside, and it

came with toiletries. After Ian went in, he locked the door, sighed, and took a bath.
