Maurice stared at the room number. Room 3601. He reached for the doorknob, turned it and walked into the room.

He was taken aback by the ludicrous scene before him.

Kelvin was on the floor. He had obviously drunk a lot of wine as he was reeking of alcohol. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were in disarray. But what was utterly absurd was he was being beaten by two women!

He felt a presence and looked up. His face was wet with tears. The expression on his face changed, like he had seen his savior in Maurice.

He struggled to speak. “Mr…Moran! Thank God… You’re here… Please… Help me! They’re…”

Kelvin could no longer utter another word. And then, he fainted.

What was this man doing here?

Eliana stiffened when she heard Maurice’s name. She was so frightened that she crouched on the floor and dared not move.

He shouldn’t see her! He shouldn’t see her!

Meanwhile, Jennifer looked at Maurice in shock, mouth agape. It was her first time doing something bad like this. “Mr. Moran,” she blurted out. “It’s… It’s him… He attacked us first!”

Maurice looked like he didn’t hear the scared voice of Jennifer. The unconscious Kelvin didn’t even seem to move him. It was the crouched figure on the floor that held his attention.

His face darkened as he tried to suppress his emotions. He took purposeful steps towards the figure.

Seeing that there was no way to escape Maurice, Eliana forced herself out of her shock. She took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her mask. She stood up, smiling awkwardly at Maurice. “Mr. Moran, it’s nice to meet you. I’m a friend of Jennifer,” she said, trying to control the quiver in her voice. “It was just a misunderstanding… Really, a misunderstanding!”
