Prince Hotel
Numb

I've come so number, I can't feel you there

Become so tired, so much more aware

I'm becoming this, all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you

Arriving at the hotel, Lidya gets off and immediately lifts Darren's suitcase from the trunk of his car, but Darren pulls the suitcase back.

"you can call one of your bell boys, Lidya.." said Darren.

"it's okay, Darren. I don't mind"

"but, I object!"

Lidya sighed and laughed "You weren't like this three years ago, Darren. Even you used to not hesitate to give me such scathing criticism.." said Lidya who remembered her who had been criticized Darren when three years ago.

Darren laughed "i didn't even know who I was three years ago." he said, "but I do know you are my friend now and I have great respect and respect for my friend Lidya.."

Lidya laughed and called one of the hotel staff to help Darren.

At the same time, a group of tour guests from Korea accidentally nudge Lidya, making Lidya lose her balance and fall in the arms of Darren who also reflexively catches Lidya.

"are you okay?" ask Darren.

Lidya rushed up and released herself "yes.I'm fine".

The guest apologizes to Lidya "joesonghabnida.. I'm sorry.."

Lidya smiled "it's okay.."

"da-eum-e josimhae" (be careful next time) Darren said.

Darren saw Lidya's slightly messy hair, unknowingly his hands were tidying up Lidya's hair. It was spontaneous to make Lidya surprised and step back.

"Miss Lidya.." a voice called out to him from behind, which turned out to be Steward's voice... Steward calls him and tells him that Dora is watching and seeing Lidya's behavior.

Lidya looked at Dora, who hated her and hated her. Lidya's whole body shook, but she kept trying to be firm and calm. He didn't want Dora to feel victorious over him, again! Lidya walked over to Dora.

"Good afternoon, madam.happy to see you back" said Lidya while trying to calm his voice that almost quivered.

Dora smiled cynically "i thought the important thing is what you are doing to make me wait for you all day" Dora said sarcastically while looking at the confused Darren "and it turns out.. you're just busy with being alone with a guy".

Lidya tries to calm down "sorry.what do you mean?"

Dora sees Lidya with a condescending look, the same view as three years ago.nothing has changed "Lidya..what is working at the hotel, making you get '*side job*' too?!!!"

Lidya who tries to be friendly to Dora but who does she get humiliation, again?!

"i hope you keep your word, madam Dora Ryans!!" lidya hatch.

"was I wrong? I saw for myself.it seems that you are so desperate that you have to do '*two jobs*' at once.." cynical Dora.

"With all due respect, madam Dora Ryans. If the '*side job*' you mean sell yourself, I hope you pull your word back or I don't hesitate to take legal action because you've ruined my good name!" lidya said back, he really felt insulted by Dora's words.

Dora laughs "I'm not saying you're selling yourself, Miss Lidya. But you feel that way yourself.."

Darren approaches them, he pulls Lidya and stands in front of Lidya. Darren had since heard their conversation, and he realized that there was a misunderstanding between them because of it, although he did not know what the relationship was between the two of them but Darren felt he had to come forward to explain all this.

"good afternoon, Madam.sorry if I cut off your conversation. Looks like you misunderstood us, madam.. Lidya and I have no relationship whatsoever and are only purely business relations. And there is no such thing as '*side job*' as you say, no matter what!" sahut Darren, even though the word Darren is very polite but also contains emphasis and assertiveness. He didn't like to hear Lidya being insulted like this, even in the low to the low.

Dora cleared her throat after listening to Darren saying "this is none of your business, young man!! Don't interfere in our affairs!!"

Darren was annoyed, he had never met anyone so rude and stubborn as Dora.

"this is my business!! Because Lidya and I still have business that we have to finish.so you can think of a side job or whatever it is, madam" said Darren rudely "because it seems like whatever we say..you still insist on your own thoughts.so it seems like this talk is just a waste!!"

This time it was Dora who was seen holding back anger because of Darren's words.

"So, with all due respect whoever your name is, madam.. Lidya had to come with me because I had had an appointment with Lidya long before. And if you want to talk to Lidya.please make an appointment first and please come back another day.." said Darren while pulling Lidya into the hotel, leaving Dora who held back her anger.
