"Your semester is going to start soon. You have to cure your jet lag as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to focus when you're in class." Luke knew what was bothering her, but he did not expose her. He reminded her and sounded like her big brother.

Vivian nodded. Her worries eventually took over her hesitation. She could not help but ask, “Mr. Crawford, did you see anyone at the entrance when you came back here?”

She did not mention Gordan's name, but she knew Luke would know who she was asking about even if she did not say his name.

"No one is at the entrance at this hour. It's late. Rest early." Luke knew Vivian wanted to ask about Gordan.

After all, he had been standing at the entrance all day like a security guard.

"Okay." Vivian let out a sigh of relief when she heard no one was at the entrance.

She had walked out to the balcony a moment ago. A gust of cold wind swept across her face. It was much colder than it was in the morning.

Gordan was only concerned about his demeanor. He would not care about the temperature. Vivian was sure that he did not put on enough layers to keep himself warm.

Vivian was relieved to know that he was not at the entrance. However, a sour and bitter feeling aroused within her. What was she anticipating?

Was she hoping that Gordan would constantly wait at the entrance just to see her?

However, he was not in love with her. Why would he do such a thing?

Vivian was sure she had been overthinking.

Vivian pulled herself together and put the disappointing feelings at the back of her mind. She stood up and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'm going back to my bedroom. Rest early, and goodnight."

"Goodnight." Luke waited for Vivian to return to her bedroom, and only then did he go back to his room.

Luke did not head to Luca's bedroom right away. He did not want to wake her up. After he took a shower, he pushed Luca's bedroom door open and walked into it.

The lights were turned off. There was not even a streak of light in the room.

Although it was dark, Luke walked toward the bed skillfully without knocking on anything.
