Ethan and Melissa stepped out of the entertainment room, the subtle hum of conversation and soft applause fading as they walked further away.
The resort was alive with its usual luxury, a well-oiled machine running smoothly, just as Ethan had intended.
Melissa had quickly informed one of her vice managers to keep an eye on the ongoing performance before they made their way through the resort grounds, passing lavish halls, open gardens, and high-end restaurants.
They had been walking for a while when Melissa spoke.
"Your family went home a few days ago," she said casually, glancing at him.
Ethan turned his head slightly, raising a brow. "Oh?"
"Yeah. Your mom was a bit worried about you," Melissa added, adjusting her hair as the morning breeze swept through.
Ethan smirked slightly. "She always is."
"Well, you did disappear without much of an explanation," Melissa pointed out.
Ethan chuckled.
