Two hourster, Rosalie sat at a table in a café, waiting anxiously.


    A man walked in, donning a casual white outfit. It made him look a lot more approachable than


    usual in his business suit.


    He went to Rosalie and saw her looking out the window, as if searching for something. He said


    softly, “Rosalie.”


    The mention of her name made Rosalie turn to look at Sebastian.


    She immediately asked, “Well, Mr. Carter, how are things going?


    Sebastian sat opposite Rosalie. “Didn’t I tell you to just call me Sebastian? You sound like a


    stranger when you call me Mr. Carter.”


    He was already calling her by name, after all.


    Rosalie forced a smile, not wanting to dwell too much on the issue of addressing each other. She


    asked again, “Sebastian, how are things going?”


    “I asked my friend for help to check things out, and I got an address. Theodore is still in Ashwick


    City, but in a very remote resort. He booked the entire ce.”


    “Resort?”


    “Yes,” Sebastian said as he pulled out a name card from his pocket that belonged to the resort.


    “This is the one. The address and contact


    number are indicated on it.”


    “Sebastian, are you sure Theodore is in this resort?”


    Sebastian nodded.


    “Yes,” he said, “I’m sure about that.”


    Rosalie pulled her phone out and dialed Theodore’s number. Once again, she found his phone still


    switched off.


    She flung her phone on the table out of anger.


    “To think that he’s still in Ashwick City! I thought he went abroad or left for another city. No, I must


    find him and tell him about our resident register, otherwi we won’t have time left.”


    Rosalie grabbed the name card, and made a move to leave.

    Sebastian grabbed her arm, and stopped her. “Wait.”


    “Is there something else?” Rosalie pulled her arm back. The touch of another man made her feel


    uneasy.


    “Apologies.” Sebastian retracted his hand, and said with an awkward smile, “I just want to tell you


    that ording to information I’ve


    received, Theodore booked the entire resort. His men are everywhere. Outsiders aren’t allowed in,


    and his men might stop you outside the entrance if you were to try entering.”


    “But I’m no outsider. I’m his wife.”


    Sebastian smiled faintly. “He switched his phone off, and clearly doesn’t want you contacting him.


    He probably doesn’t want to see you, either. If you head there, all the more he won’t want to see


    you.”


    Rosalie thought about how the line went through the first time she tried calling Theodore, but he


    deliberately refused to pick up her call and even cut off the call. She subsequently found his phone


    switched off when she called a second time.


    What Sebastian said made sense. He knew a man’s mind more clearly than she did.


    Rosalie sighed in frustration. “What should I do, then? Time’s running out. I promised Grandma to


    return the resident register by five in the


    evening.”


    Sebastian stood up. “I have an idea that can help sneak you in to find. him, but it’ll be tough on


    you.”


    “No way.” Rosalie probed further, “Tell me what idea it is. I’ll do it.”


    She was willing to do anything that allowed her to see Theodore.


    Sebastian arranged for a helicopter to send Rosalie to the resort.


    Getting there by car took too much time and carried the risk of them being stuck in traffic. He


    decided that getting there by helicopter was a better idea, which allowed them to arrive at their


    destination, saving half the time.


    When they arrived at the resort, Sebastian arranged for the two of them to dress up as staff


    members to sneak into the premises.
