The group arrived at the hotel and checked into their rooms.

Alana and Carla were sharing a room.

Grace and Danielle, Cole had a room to himself.

Alana was very pleased with this arrangement. After receiving her room key, she and Carla carried their luggage and swiped the card to enter their room.

“Wow, the room is so big!”

As soon as they walked in, Carla set down her suitcase and flopped onto her single bed.

Alana set down her suitcase, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.

The view revealed the hotel’s rear mountain, a golden maple forest, the scenery was absolutely stunning.

She’d heard that this area was actually a resort district in Vinox.

Carla came over too, her eyes wide with wonder.

“Wow, this place is so beautiful!”

“The scenery in the mountains must be beautiful. Should we go up for a walk?”

Alana chuckled. “First you were talking about soaking in hot springs, then you want to go hiking. Why do you keep changing your mind so often?”

Carla blinked, “I just want to do it all!”

Alana smiled and couldn’t help but pull out her phone, snapping a photo of the scenery outside.

Then she sent it to Stephan.

[I’ve arrived at the hotel. This is the view from my room window, it’s beautiful, isn’t it]

Since she’d been with Stephan, she’d found herself increasingly drawn to sharing these little moments of beauty with him.

Perhaps she’d been influenced by him.

When he was away on business trips, he also loved taking photos to share with her. Because of him, her once-closed heart was gradually opening up.

At that moment, Stephan was on his way to Alana’s hot spring resort. Seeing the photo she sent, he couldn’t help but smile.

He replied, “Hmm, it’s beautiful. Which room are you in at the hotel?”

Alana blinked. Did he really need to ask which room she was in?

He was asking way too many details, someone who didn’t know better might think he was coming over to catch her in the act.

But he was on a business trip, and so was she, they were probably a million miles apart. [Room 2011.]

[Are you staying alone?]

[No way. The company’s budget is tight; there’s no way they’d give employees their

own rooms.]

Stephan raised an eyebrow, looking a bit disappointed.

Looks like he couldn’t just move into her room after all; he’d have to book a separate room.

I’ll just stay in the room next to hers.

At night, he could have her sneak over to sleep with him.

Ugh, it sounds like they were having an affair.

Stephan looked up and glanced at Vance.

“Vance, book me a room at the Lisha hot Spring Hotel, one right next to Room 2011.”

Vance, exhausted from being put through the wringer all day, replied, “Mr. Hudson, I’m driving.”

“Fine, take your time driving. I’ll book it myself.”

Stephan looked up the hotel front desk’s landline number and dialed it directly to book the room.

He got straight to the point. “Hello, please book Room 2012 for me.”

“I’m sorry, sir, but Room 2012 has already been reserved.”

“What about Room 2010?”

“That’s already been booked as well.”

He was at a loss for words; he couldn’t even be close to his wife.

The front desk clerk politely asked, “Room 2009 is currently available. Sir, would you like me to book it for you?”

Stephan furrowed his brow and asked, “Who booked Room 2010?”

Stephan was a powerful figure so people could hardly ever say no to him.

“A Mr. Cole.”

Stephan frowned. A Cole?

Could it be that good-for-nothing Cole?

Could it be that Alana came on this business trip with Cole?

A man and a woman traveling together on a business trip?!

Probably not. Alana said she was staying in a double room, which means there were other female colleagues traveling with her.

Stephan paused for a moment. “Alright, book Room 2009.”

“Sure, sir. We’ll check you in right away...”

Alana didn’t know Stephan was coming to this hot spring resort. She replied to him, [My colleagues and I are going to soak in the hot springs. I’ll chat with you later.]

However, she had left in a hurry and hadn’t brought her swimsuit. Going to the hot springs without a swimsuit wouldn’t be very convenient.

Carla said, “Good thing I was smart enough to bring a few extra, I’ll give you one!”

With that, she immediately opened her suitcase and pulled out several swimsuits in different colors.

There were pink, orange, blue, and purple ones.

Alana was stunned. “You... brought this many swimsuits on a business trip?”

Carla blinked, “I heard we were staying at a hot spring resort, and we’re here for five days, of course I had to pack a few extra sets.”

Alana was at a loss for words.

Carla asked cheerfully, “Come on, which one do you like? Pick one!”

Alana hesitated, “Will a swimsuit that fits you actually fit me?”

“They’re standard sizes, so they should fit.”

“Alright, then I’ll take one.”

Alana picked out a purple one.

Carla clicked her tongue. “Not bad! You picked the purple one right away. I hear that in men’s eyes, purple is the most alluring color!”

Alana shot Carla a playful glare. “Nonsense. I just thought this purple one looked a bit more modest.”

Carla grinned, “Hehe, never mind. Grab the swimsuit and head downstairs to meet up with Grace.”

The two of them tidied up a bit, then left the room carrying their bags.

The hotel had a dedicated hot spring area, which was said to be quite large.

After Alana and Carla met up with Grace and Danielle, they entered the hot spring area and were amazed by its sheer size.

The hot spring area was divided into pools of various sizes.

For example, there were mugwort baths, red wine baths, milk baths, petal baths, and so on.

There were both public and private pools.

The four of them first went to the changing room to put on their swimsuits.

After changing, they emerged one by one.

Just as Danielle emerged in her swimsuit, she happened to run into Carla. She gave Carla’s figure a blunt once-over. “Tsk, Carla, your figure isn’t anything to write home about. Those breasts...flat as a runway.”

Carla was livid. Pointing at Danielle, she sneered, “Haha, your breasts are huge...so big they’re sagging like slippers. They’re absolutely hideous, yuck!”

Danielle glared at her, “How dare you?!”
