Lewis arrived home in record time, parked the car, and took the elevator upstairs. As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by Biscuit wagging his tail.
“Where’s your mom?” Lewis placed his car keys on the counter. Biscuit barked twice and led the way toward Doris‘ room.
Lewis quickly followed, unlocking the door to Doris‘ room and finding her sound asleep in bed.
He had been frantically searching for her, yet there she was, sound asleep at home. But the moment Lewis laid eyes on her, the weight in his chest finally lifted.
Nothing else seemed to be important anymore. What truly mattered was that she was safe and unharmed.
He gently closed the door behind him to avoid waking her, then turned and headed to the living room.
He dialed Daniel’s number. “No need to keep looking. She’s at home. Daniel, thank you. Be sure to reward the team.”
“Glad to hear Mrs. Hartman is okay,” Daniel said with relief. Lewis would have been a wreck if he hadn’t found Doris.
“Look into the situation with Doris getting fired. If the hotel is at fault, we’re ending our partnership with Hampstone Hotel,” Lewis instructed.
“Understood,” Daniel replied.
Just as Lewis ended the call, Doris‘ voice came from behind him. “You’re home already?”
‘How long did I sleep? What time is it?‘ she wondered to herself.
Lewis turned to face her, his eyes intense and focused. “What happened with your phone? Why couldn’t I reach you?”
“I… I turned it off,” Doris admitted, her eyes dropping nervously.
“I wasn’t trying to ignore you. My parents kept calling, and I got frustrated, so I just turned it off to sleep. I forgot to let you know… it’s my fault. You can yell at me, or whatever.”
Lewis sat down on the couch, the golden glow of the setting sun streaming through the floor–to–ceiling windows, casting a warm light on him, making his features even more striking.
His strong brows and sharp eyes outshone the sunset, making him impossible to ignore.
“What’s the point of yelling at you or scolding you?” Lewis said with a half–laugh. “Everyone has their off days. As long as you let it out, it’s fine.”
