After showering, Irvin Sharman got dressed, instantly transforming into an aloof and imperious CEO, devoid of any trace of his previous demeanor.
Sophie Kenith watched him, marveling inwardly at the sheer hypocrisy, a true cad in gentleman's clothing!
Muttering insults, she followed Irvin out the door.
The two went to the hotel's buffet dinner and had a meal.
After eating, Irvin inquired, "Shall we head back now? Or just wander around a bit?"
Behind the Hot Spring Hotel was a park with flowers and trees, quite nice.
Sophie was far from ready to go back with him, so she said, "Let's go for a walk."
Irvin nodded.
They took a stroll around the hotel, walking through the woods, and Sophie was able to calm her mind, which was a rare moment.
For years, occupied with making money and caring for a sick woman, she hadn't enjoyed such a leisurely stroll in a long time.
In fact, she had this man by her side to thank for all of it.
With this thought, Sophie started smiling.
