After sleeping for a while in the hotel, Rufus Swallow packed up Aria Lulu's belongings, placed them into the suitcase she had brought, and then went downstairs to check out.
He had a dedicated assistant managing his residence in London. Even during the year he was away, the entire villa continued operating as usual without its owner. Rufus handed Aria's suitcase to the butler, thinking he'd find a time to return it to her later, then went upstairs to catch up on sleep.
Because of the situation with Aria Lulu earlier tonight, he hadn't slept long, and now he felt a bit fatigued.
Rufus went upstairs, lay down on the large bed he'd once used, and fiddled aimlessly with the TV remote. When he flipped to "The Big Bang Theory," he subconsciously paused. Only after realizing it did he remember this was Aria Lulu's favorite show.
