"Excuse me, I arrived a few hours ago with my wife, but she went out for a walk, and I haven't been able to find her. Did she happen to ask for a taxi or anything like that?" "Oh, yes, I remember! The lady hasn't left the hotel. She asked about the restaurant and went there, but just a few minutes ago, she passed by again and went to the elevators. I assshe went back to her room." 11 "Thank you very much!" Maximus headed back to the room, a smile forming on his lips as he thought about how the girl had made him search all over when she hadn't even left the hotel.
Opening the door, he was stunned to see her lying on the bed. For a moment, he thought she was awake, but as he got closer, he realized she was asleep.
This wasn't the sgirl from years ago. Physically, she had changed, and he couldn't ignore it. His face. turned crimson as he felt an odd warmth take over him.
