"Alright." Irene's voice was hoarse and faint. "You take your money back. Later, I'll ask the waiter who escorted you earlier to give you a brief training on how to be a waiter." She placed the bill from Jack back on the table, then pushed it closer to him.

Jack pushed the money back again. He shook his head. "No, Miss, I’ve already taken your valuable time. This money might not be enough to make up for it. I’ll add more."

Jack took out his wallet again, intending to take $5,000 for the additional costs. However, Irene stopped him.

"No, no, um, forgive me for speaking out of turn earlier. I didn’t know that this was about… your heart." She smiled, wiping her wet cheek.

"It’s okay, you're working professionally here. I would do the same if I were in your position. So, please accept it."

"How about you treat me to a cup of coffee?" Irene offered with a hopeful expression.

Jack sat in silence, thinking. He had already planned to repay Lily, who had given lesso

    Jack ran to the reception desk while continuing to call Emma.When he reached the reception desk, Jack inquired about Emma's arrival by describing her characteristics. The receptionist seemed to be thinking, recalling and comparing the characteristics of the woman Jack mentioned with the female visitors at The Groove Spot."I think I saw her come in a few minutes ago."Jack's eyes rounded.

The story from Jack was only about their escape from the perverted men, who were being held in room 3F by the guards.

    Emma took the photo from Jack's hand. She studied it intently, almost without blinking, while recalling the people she had met. The longer she looked, the more wrinkles appeared on her forehead."Um, wait a minute, I think I've seen someone with a face like this before. If I count it right, he’s probably around 30 years old now. Hmm, wait, who was it, which man of that age did I meet?" Emma closed her eyes, trying to focus more on remembering while tapping her head.After a moment, Emma opened her eyes wide. She stared at the portrait of the boy again.

You two look alike! Oh my God, this is like a photo of you when you were little, Jack! How is that possible? This coincidence is really surprising me! Haha." Emma
