When he returned to the room, Summer Ford had already gone to the bathroom.
She seemed to be taking a bath inside and hadn't come out for a long time.
Ethan Laurent initially didn't pay attention to her, sitting alone on the sofa with his notebook, handling company matters.
Half an hour passed, and Summer Ford hadn't come out.
Ethan Laurent still didn't pay attention and continued browsing his agenda.
Forty minutes went by, and the bathroom door was still tightly closed.
Ethan Laurent glanced discreetly towards the bathroom.
The bathroom was very quiet. Ever since Summer Ford went inside, the door hadn't opened, not even a sound of water or any other noise.
The excessive silence made Ethan Laurent's gaze deepen.
Lowering his eyes, he contemplated for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up and walked briskly towards the bedroom door.
"Open the door!" The cold voice carried no extra warmth.
The bathroom remained silent, strangely so.
