Upon reaching, Forrest glanced at the signboard hanging on the second story of the building. He pulled out his phone and found the guesthouse's website.

Given the off-peak season, there were vacancies He promptly booked one room.

After loitering a bit, he decided to go in.

Upon entering, he was met with a warm welcome.

An elderly lady dressed impeccably greeted him.

Forrest showed her his booking confirmation.

The woman was all smiles.

“Mr. Walters, correct?"

Forrest gave a nod in affirmation.

She took down his details at the front desk and told him, “Follow me.

I'll show you to your room." She led the way.

The room was on the second floor. Cleanliness and decor were top-notch!

It wasn't the biggest of rooms, but the arrangement and decoration were splendid.

Forrest nodded in approval.

“Enjoy your rest!" With that, the elderly lady exited.

Forrest refrained from inquiring about Annot.

He would get settled in first.

As he closed the door, another sound echoed.

Upon opening the door, he was met with the sight of Annot.

She stood at the door with a white bath towel in her grasp.
