“We booked in advance several days ago, you said it’s sold out, where are all of us supposed to stay?”
The front desk staff couldn’t help but sweat profusely on their foreheads, bowing and apologizing, “I’m really sorry, this is indeed our fault. If you’re willing, we can offer some compensation.”
Andrea felt annoyed.
She found it hard to accept such an outcome.
Everyone was tired and dusty, all waiting to enter the room and rest.
Well, now things have taken a turn for the worse.
“This is not about apologizing or compensating. We had already booked the room, how could you let someone else stay in it! Even if they had to stay, shouldn’t you have called us in advance to discuss it?”
Andrea didn’t expect that she would be the one to run into such bad luck.
In the past, she would have just given up and booked a room at another hotel.
But…
During this time, Andrea has been feeling down because she found out about Roderick’s insincerity by accident.
Because of some unknown reason, my stubbornness just came out at this moment.

She argued, “Where’s your boss? Get him out here, I want to talk to him and sort things out…”
A group of footsteps approached from behind.
“Andie.”
Roderick was wearing a silver–gray suit, with his long legs tucked into trousers, shiny leather shoes, striding through the crowd with a sharp and unstoppable demeanor.
“How come you’re here?” Andrea stared at him blankly.
Roderick looked at her, his eyes deep, his lowered eyelashes adorned with a faint smile, “Just passing by, what’s going on?”
Andrea didn’t really feel like talking to him.
The receptionist politely bowed and spoke.
“I’m really sorry, but here’s the thing – our boss’s friend showed up out of the blue and took over the room that Ms. Rehbein had booked.”
“Our boss said sorry and he’s willing to make the compensation to make up for the inconvenience caused to you all. Hope you can understand.”
Roderick gently put his hand on Andrea’s shoulder and comforted her softly, “Andie, it’s okay, bro got you guys a hotel next door, call your friends and come over.”
Andrea’s body was a bit stiff.
He grabbed Andrea’s shoulder and walked out without saying a word.
Then, whispered in Andrea’s ear.

“Since you’re participating in the art exhibition, why didn’t you ask me for help?”
Andrea’s eyes scanned the bustling street, “Because, bro, you’re too busy, this kind of small thing isn’t worth bothering you.”
“Andie.”
Roderick gently stroked Andrea’s hair.
When his fingertips brushed past, a slight itch was left on her ear by the callus.
“Come with me to the church.”
The man’s voice was deep and hoarse, with a mysterious undertone.
Andrea hunched her back to avoid it, and froze instantly.
She suddenly remembered with a start.
Today.
It was the anniversary of his mother’s death…
“Lord, wipe away every tear, for death is not the end, but the eternal gateway…”
In the ancient solemn church.
The priest’s low and soothing prayer, mixed with the hum of the organ, floated in the air.
The whole crowd bowed their heads and closed their eyes.
Only Andrea, unable to control the trembling of her eyelashes, managed to open a ray of light.

Beside her, Roderick’s shoulders trembled with every word.
His face was full of sorrow and sadness.
On his long eyelashes, there was even a tear that hadn’t fallen yet.
Andrea couldn’t bear it.
He was suffering and grieving because of his mother’s death.
Wanting to get back at her is understandable.
