Hayley''s POV:

The hotel manager appeared a bit flustered. "Miss, the fire happened so suddenly. We had to quickly find rooms at the nearby hotels, and the avability is quite limited. It''s really difficult to arrange.
"Please don''t worry. I''ll find another solution," he said, but his voice was full of hesitation.
nodded and stood there, waiting.
Benjamin''s gaze darkened, though he remained silent.
After a few calls, the manager came back with an apologetic expression. "I''m terribly sorry, but we couldn''t find any rooms at the moment."
At this, Benjamin finally spoke up. "Give her the room. I''ll figure something else out."
The manager quickly handed me thest room key. "Miss, you can take this room for now."
I took the key. If I hadn''t known Benjamin, I would have simply grabbed the key and walked away without a second thought.
But I had known him for quite some time, and he had helped me before, so I couldn''t just leave.
After thinking for a moment, I asked, "Mr. Southwell, since there are no rooms left, would you mind sharing the room for the night?"
Benjamin immediately rejected the idea. "No, I''ll find another ce to stay."
His words left me feeling oddly disappointed, and even Hera seemed restless.
I couldn''t help but feel a strange sense of anticipation about staying with Benjamin. The thought caught me off guard, causing me to suddenly p my forehead.
Hayley, what are you thinking?
My odd gesture caught Benjamin''s attention. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Ms. Carson, what are you doing?"
I quickly exined, "Nothing. I just thought it waste, and most hotels are
probably fully booked. Are you sure you want to leave?"
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ms. Carson, are you inviting me?"
I immediately wished I could bite my tongue. I quickly denied, "Mr. Southwell, you misunderstood Linst thought it would be unfortunate for you to have no ce to stau Ir''e

The manager saw that we knew each other; he spoke up. "Sir, all the nearby hotels are fully booked, and Ms. Carson''s room is the only one avable. I believe you can make do."
I was taken aback. It was surprising that the manager would suggest this. Though
a bit embarrassed, I had no choice but to look at Benjamin.
Benjamin met my gaze. For a long moment, we just looked at each other.
hally, he gave a soft grunt, which I took as an agreement.
So, Benjamin and I each took a room key and walked to the hotel next door.
We walked in silence, one behind the other. Along the way, Hera kept urging me
to seize the opportunity to be close to Benjamin.
I rejected her.
Additionally, I reminded her that I was no longer Hayley but Hazel.
When we reached the door, Benjamin hesitated.
I opened the door and said, "You go in first."
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and then stepped inside.
Once the door closed, I looked at the two beds in the room and said, "You can
take the bed closest to the door. I''ll take the one by the window."
After saying that, I climbed into my bed.
I pulled the nket tightly around myself, leaving only my head exposed, and then
added, "You should get some rest.”
At the same time, I was battling with my own desires.
We were so close, and his scent was so intoxicating to Hera.
I struggled to control her, suppressing the overwhelming urge to mate.
Benjamin was amused by my reaction. His expression, which had been tense
when he entered, softened considerably.

After the ordeal, I realized my sleepiness had vanishedpletely.
I stared at the ceiling, silently counting sheep in my mind. Even after counting

"Mr. Southwell,"
I couldn''t hold it in anymore and tried calling out to him.
