Erica was roused from her sleep by someone knocking on the door. She didn't know how long she'd been asleep. She was still in a daze, and wanted to tell the person knocking to go away.

She got up from bed, holding onto a nightstand to steady herself, and put on her slippers. She woke up more and walked towards the door, completely forgetting where she was. She opened the door hard and shouted, "What the hell? Ahhh! Why are you here?" When she saw the person standing there, she immediately woke up.

Gifford rolled his eyes at her.

"Get out of the way!"

“What? How did you know I was here?" Realizing she had asked a stupid question, she changed her tone and followed Gifford into the room.

“Hey, did Matthew send you? Are you supposed to take me back with you?"

Standing in the middle of the room with arms akimbo, Gifford pointed at

Chantel, who was also confused, and told Erica, "I'm not here for you.

I'm looking for her. I'm sure Matthew will be here soon."

Because she was completely blown away, Erica didn't hear all of what

Gifford said. She asked, "You two know each other?"

Chantel thought for a while and asked Erica in surprise, “Isn't your surname Lewis?" ‘Could she be the Erica I've heard so much about?' she wondered.

Erica was confused by her question.

"No. Remember? It's Leonard!"

“What? So you're Rika!" Chantel said with certainty. So at last, she had met the infamous Erica.

"Yeah. So how do you know my brother?" Erica shifted her gaze between

Gifford and Chantel in suspicion.

‘Why is my brother here looking for Chantel? Did she break the law?"

Ignoring the confusion and astonishment of the two girls, Gifford looked at Chantel and asked, "Why did you turn your phone off?"

"I lost it. It was stolen on the bus. I wanted to send a message to

Uncle Wesley with Rika's phone, but her battery was dead," she replied honestly to Gifford.

The man was speechless. He patted his forehead helplessly.

“So why are you two staying at this hotel?”

Chantel shot Erica a meaningful glance, and Erica replied instead, “We met outside the gate of the villa, went to dinner, and started talking.

We became fast friends, and it was late, so we got a room so we could get some sleep.”
