Little Rainie was unbelievably happy now that she had sneakily eaten some fried chicken behind her father's back. On the way back to the room, Rainie kept sticking to Bianca, hugging her leg like a koala to a tree.

It was quite hard for Bianca to walk with a baby hanging off her leg.

She had to limp all the way back upstairs.

"It's really late now. I'll send you back to your room so you can get to sleep." The adult and two children watched cartoons in the room for a while before Bianca turned to the pair of siblings.

The older brother looked up at her and said, "We don't have the room card."

Rainie was hugging Bianca with her plump white hand, her eyes tightly closed. She was almost completely asleep now.

Still, how could they get back without the room card?

Bianca was feeling conflicted.

She had no idea when the president would be able to finish his work for the day and return to the hotel.

"Lemme call Mr. Doyle." Bianca looked at Rainie, who was already falling asleep. She could not move, so she had to ask Lanie to grab her phone.

Lanie picked up her phone and passed it to Bianca.

Bianca called her colleague and asked for Jason Doyle's work number.

Jason picked up soon enough, but he said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss Rayne, but Mr. Crawford is having a meal with a few provincial leaders. I don't think he'll be able to get away for a while yet. How about this? Can you let the two kids sleep with you for the night?"

Bianca,

It was past ten in the night by the time Bianca managed to lull the children to sleep.

Lanie slept on the left side of the large bed, while Rainie took the right side. They were fast asleep.

Bianca cleaned up the bathroom as quietly as she could, then she folded the children's clothes and placed them on the couch neatly. Finally, she tucked Rainie in before carefully stepping into bed herself. 1

Thank goodness the bed was big enough.

There was plenty of space for one adult and two kids to sleep comfortably.

Within five minutes of lying down, Bianca could barely keep her eyes open anymore.

... 1

Sometime in the earliest hours of the morning.

Bianca's phone vibrated under her pillow.

She was so sleepy that her eyes hurt, and she had to force them open blearily.

She propped herself up slightly and reached for her phone. 1

There was an unknown number on her screen.
