Ping.

Theresa received a message.

She was almost asleep, too groggy to bother checking.

But the name on the screen jolted her awake. [Thomas.]

She woke up in an instant.

Theresa quickly opened the message.

A faint smile played on her lips.

So, Thomas did have a bit of a conscience after all.

But she was on a diet and hadn’t decided whether to indulge him or not!

Theresa was made up, descending gracefully down the stairs.

She had rehearsed her lines in her head.

She’d make it clear to Thomas that it wasn’t the food she was after. She was merely giving him face because of his

earnest effort.

With a haughty air, Theresa reached the lobby.

And then her expression subtly changed.

The lobby was not the intimate setting she’d imagined.

Instead, it was buzzing with nearly the entire crew present.

With a casual glance, Theresa even spotted Mr. Witt, in pajamas, shoveling food into his mouth.

Theresa’s face shifted slightly.
