The corridor of the hotel was long and narrow. Riya walked gracefully to the door and knocked casually.
The door opened, and Julian came out. Standing at the door, he looked gentle and relaxed in the white bathrobe.
Riya glanced at him and looked into the room. "Where's Margaret?"
"What are you doing here?"
Julian did not let her in. Instead, he blocked the door and stared at her with a straight face who suddenly came out of the blue.

She was extremely embarrassed when she bought it.

Julian took the shopping bag and said evenly, "You can go now."
With that, he slammed the door without hesitation.
Riya almost hit her head on the door.
