She swallowed her bite of food and frowned at him, clearly unimpressed.
"How should I know if you can handle it? I'm not your girlfriend! Got a problem? Don't ask me, go see a doctor!" || || "Of course, if you're too shy, I could tag along with you! I'll only charge you a hundred bucks for my company, sas last time." Calvin's response got strangled in his throat before it could escape.

Felicity didn't spare him another glance, diving into her meal with gusto, completely tossing aside any pretense of etiquette. This place Abigail recommended? Absolutely amazing! "Hey, did you book a hotel yet?" Felicity suddenly remembered to ask, in between mouthfuls.
"Not yet. I wasn't sure where you lived, and I thought I'd pick a place close to your house. That way, it'd be easier for you to showaround!" "There's actually one pretty close to my place. It's co-owned by Mr. Lopez and my dad. Letgive the front desk a call, get you a room." Calvin slapped his hand on the table, "That's perfect, thanks, Felicity! I'll just follow your lead while I'm here in town!" "No biggie, just doing my part as a host." Felicity took another sip of her soda, then pulled out her phone to make a call.

"Mr. Lopez, you're too kind." "Indeed! A trip to Eldorria City with all these perks, we might as well be on vacation!" You don't have to respect everyone, but when it comes to a Lopez, respect is due. Who would dare to complain? Miles gracefully shook hands with each of them, maintaining his polite demeanor.
Just as the last person was heading inside, something caught his eye.
Was that... Mr. Turner's car? It's not like Eldorria City had a surplus of bright red Ferraris.

Turner. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesSW However, when the car parked, the first to step out was a man he didn't recognize.
And then- Felicity emerged from the driver's seat.
Miles wasn't naive; he quickly pieced together that the unfamiliar man must be Calvin.
From a distance, the two seemed oblivious to his presence, engaged in a lively conversation.
Whenever their chat hit a high note, Calvin would playfully tap playfully tap Felicity on the forehead, and she'd recity on with a mock glare. Content Belongs to en.kikistoriesSW Their interaction mirrored what Felicity had described one late night-they seemed really close.
But none of that was the main concern.
The real issue was them heading into the hotel together! A man and a woman checking into a hotel room-what else could that imply?
