"... Do you still like me?"
"Like... But it's not love."
"Can I hug you?"
Vermes Marley suddenly took a step closer to her, close enough to hear her breath, "Taking advantage of you was my fault. I respect your choice to leave. I just want to hug you."
Yet Yolanda Bardot took a step backward.
This man is truly like a demon.

Both of them stayed in a suite with two bedrooms.

Therefore, she accepted this arrangement gladly.
In the suite.
