Looking at the bed, Katrina finds that Aaron is indeed on his side. Her face turns red in mortification. Did I really go to him in the middle of the night?
""Y-you…"" He's lying! She tells herself, but the possibility horrifies her so much that she is rendered speechless.
Aaron brightens, even more, when Katrina sputters helplessly. He folds his arms and shakes his head, smirking. ""You said you don't want me to come near you, but your body seeks me in the middle of the night. ""
Katrina flushes an angrier shade of red. She gets up from the ground and marches to the bathroom in a huff, taking a set of clothes with her. My colleagues are downstairs waiting for me. I don't have time to listen to this bastard's nonsense!
After a few minutes, Katrina comes out of the bathroom, fully dressed. While Aaron freshens up inside, she dials the front desk using the landline on the table. ""Hello, do you have a room available?""
Aaron had insisted on staying with her last night, claiming he couldn't book a room for himself. I can't give him another chance to harass me, she thinks. If my colleagues see him in my room, it would be a disaster!
Katrina breathes a sigh of relief when the receptionist tells her that there are several rooms available. She feels better after she makes a reservation for Aaron. Now he doesn't have an excuse to stay here!
She walks to the bathroom and knocks on the door twice.
After a moment, Aaron opens the door, holding a razor to his face. Does she need to pee? ""I'm almost done, but I don't mind if you come in,"" he says, flashing her a smile.
Aaron had been shaving when Katrina knocked, and there's some shaving cream on one side of his chin. ""I have to admit, and he's really handsome. He makes shaving look attractive.""
Katrina realizes the implication in Aaron's words and glares at him. Would it kill him to stop flirting for one second? Well, I already reserved a room for him. I'll be safe from this nonsense tonight! The thought comforts her a little.
""Aaron, I just called the front desk. Someone checked out today, and I reserved a room for you. Don't forget to check-in when you go downstairs. I'm going down for breakfast."" With that, she turns around and leaves the room.
Aaron almost scratches himself with the razor in surprise. She booked a room behind my back! When did this woman learn to be so clever? She can be really resourceful when it comes to avoiding me!
In the hotel restaurant, Katrina's mind is adrift while she eats breakfast with her colleagues. Did he check-in already? What if he goes down to have breakfast? Should I greet him or pretend I don't know him?
Katrina lets out a heavy sigh. Aaron's sudden appearance is really troublesome, not to mention his presence always makes her feel uneasy.
Colin senses Katrina's anxiety and pats her on the shoulder in comfort. He lowers his voice and says, ""Are you worried about the mission? Don't worry, Black Wolf is under surveill
