New orders from Bang Chan were sent.

Jia's heart pounded heavily. She was still fresh out of the shower, wrapped in a big hotel towel, gripping it on her chest as her hand shook while she waited for Chan's reply.

But it never came - he left her on "read", reading her messages only a minute after they arrived.

There was a knock on the door just when Chan finished packing his suitcase, closing the zipper. He opened to a very familiar freckled face and let his friend into his hotel room.

"On what?" Chan asked, already knowing what the matter was.
