CHAPTER 25: Lost Resistance

  Scarlett's POV

  It's been a long day. Museum visits have been my least favorite of all activities. They drain me out of energy, and I feel so disconnected from the world after. I'm sure I wasn't the only human to feel that way.

  But this time, I was drained running all the gears in my head about Dylan and Ryder.

  It was around evening when I parted from the tourist group after our late lunch. I ate as though I was having a tea break. Light snacks sufficed me. I had no appetite, which was a rare occurrence.

  It was my time to disconnect from the world for real, intentionally. Locking myself up in my room, I plopped onto the bed and let out a devil-summoning sigh. I was beyond tired.

  And mostly, I wanted to think as little as possible about my warning to the brothers and about my mistakes. It was draining me and I was afraid my performance with my tourist team would decline because of it. And as an obvious result, I'd ruin my chances at the promotion.
