When Ethan Laurent walked into the restaurant after booking the room, Summer Ford was facing away from him arranging flowers.
Ethan took a few steps forward, chose a spot by the window, sat down, ordered a meal for himself, and while casually eating, discreetly glanced in her direction.
Summer was bending over while arranging flowers, wearing the clothes provided by the hotel, which were quite loose, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her chest, white and dazzling.
Ethan felt a little parched, shifted his gaze, and took a sip from the cocktail he had at his side.
Summer appeared not to notice his direction, continuing with her task as if oblivious.
Ethan didn't interrupt her, only calling her over to settle the bill after finishing his meal.
Summer evidently still harbored resentment towards him; he called her three times before she came over.
And upon coming over, she didn't deal with his bill first but collected the payment from the adjacent table.
