She dialed some numbers and said, “Hello? You promised you’d assist me. Now, I’m in Valmere and Bryson has taken off to Hoijery. He’s even blocked me on WhatsApp. What’s our next move?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve located them in Hoijery. We’ll fly out there together tomorrow. Trust me, I know how men think. How could he resist his first love? You said he adored you more than anyone, didn’t you?”
Clutching her phone, Ruby replied, “You better not be wrong, otherwise all my hard work will have been for nothing!”
“Don’t stress. If we need to use the same trick twice, so be it.”
The following morning, Bryson was behind the wheel, while Hannah, Grace, and Lydia chatted and laughed in the backseat.
They reached the Red Sea Resort, an under-the-radar development by the White Group.
Surrounded by trees, the serene environment boasted a unique seaside spot tinted pink by seaweed, attracting quite a few visitors despite its unofficial opening.
“You didn’t bring us here just for fun, did you? You’re here on business to inspect the resort, aren’t you, Hannah?” Lydia inquired, sidling up to her friend.
“You’re out for a good time. Why not make the most of it?”

Casting her a knowing look, Hannah answered, “You read me like a book. Even if the resort is yet to formally open and has seen its share of ups and downs, I want to evaluate it firsthand.”
As they hurried into the hotel, the manager greeted them “Miss Moore, your rooms are all set. Let me assist you with check-in.”
The moment they entered the hotel lobby, a surprised voice echoed from a nearby sitting area.
“Bryson? What brings you here?”
Adorned in a white dress, Ruby stood and approached them, a polite grin on her face.
“Vacationing as well, are you?”

Lydia stepped forward, confronting her.
“Are you stalking us? Did you snoop around our itinerary?”
Feigning innocence, Ruby said, “I’m here with a friend, I swear. I’m not following you.”
Just then, Eliana, arm in arm with Declan, walked over to Hannah, beaming.
“Well, look who it is! I never thought I’d run into you here, Hannah. Are you on vacation?”
Lydia was surprised to encounter Eliana at this location.
Swiftly positioning herself in front of Hannah, Lydia exclaimed, “Do you have eyes? Of course we’re here for a vacation!”
After a lengthy period apart, Declan was astonished upon seeing Hannah again. He believed she had grown even more attractive, Leaving him with mixed feelings.
Catching Declan’s surprised look, Eliana patted his shoulder and suggested, “We do know each other, after all. What are the odds we’d meet here? How about sharing a meal later?”
