As Jin Shiya entered the estate, she was greeted by a familiar face—the blonde beauty she had met before at the theme park, the one who had helped her change clothes.

Noland handed Jin Shiya over to her. “Go with her, drop your things in the room, take a hot bath, change, and then come down to eat something.”

Following Noland’s instructions, Jin Shiya, exhausted, felt like a puppet being led by the blonde woman. She trudged up the stairs to the second floor, each step feeling heavier. The woman led her to a door and entered, continuing her introduction as she walked.

“Hello, Miss Jin. I’m Mr. Harris’s personal assistant. You can call me Olivia,” she said, effortlessly carrying Jin Shiya’s heavy suitcase while Jin Shiya herself struggled under the weight.

"I’ve put your suitcase under the wardrobe. If you forget where it is, feel free to ask me."

The room Noland had arranged for Jin Shiya was a suite. The living room was outside, with the bedroom to the right and a study to the left. The room faced the ocean, and the sea breeze drifted in, gently lifting the white curtains. The view was calming, and despite her exhaustion, Jin Shiya found herself feeling a little more at ease.

As she entered the bedroom, she noticed the decor was to her liking. Noland clearly knew her preferences well. Even the small details, such as the hidden bathroom and walk-in closet, were arranged to suit her. The closet already contained various types of clothing—bathrobes, sleepwear, and casual outfits.

Olivia approached with a soft tone, speaking gently to Jin Shiya. “Miss Jin, I’ve prepared the bathwater for you. There’s a bathrobe ready, and I’ve also placed some essential oils to help relieve fatigue.”

“Thank you,” Jin Shiya murmured, and entered the hidden bathroom after opening the door. The location of the door was familiar to her—similar to the one at her home, with only a few minor differences. She could tell at a glance that it led to the bathroom.

Inside, she was met with a gentle, soothing warmth. The bathroom had an open-air feel, with large glass panels replacing what would normally be a wall beside the bathtub. Jin Shiya knew the glass was one-way; it allowed those inside to see outside but not the other way around.

Sinking into the perfectly fitted bathtub, Jin Shiya looked up at the clear glass and the vast sky. To the side, the endless ocean stretched before her. The soft scent of essential oils filled the air, and the water was warm, comforting, almost as if the fatigue had been washed away.

She stayed in the bath for over half an hour before reluctantly getting out. If it weren’t for the fear of wrinkling her skin, Jin Shiya felt she could have stayed longer.

After drying herself, she wrapped a towel around her body instead of putting on the bathrobe. She walked out of the bathroom and, following Olivia’s instructions, found her suitcase. To her surprise, most of the clothes inside were business attire, as she had come on a work trip.

However, remembering the casual clothes in the bedroom closet—clothes that looked far more comfortable—Jin Shiya ultimately decided against using what she had brought and chose something from the closet instead.
