She bit her lip hard to maintain her composure.
“Fine, go do your task. I won’t get in your way. Good luck,” she retorted, then strode away, hips swaying. Passing by Hannah, she shot her a look of pure disdain.

“Breakfast,” he announced.
Raising an eyebrow, she stepped aside. “Since when did you start doing a hotel waiter gig?”
Winston, pushing the cart into the room, responded, “The boss insisted I stick with you at all times, except when you’re sleeping.”
“I’m not a captive, you know. Plus, you promised to help me find him.
