*phone ringsHe answers the phone after three rings, afraid that his muse will wake up from the noise. The caller speaks promptly after the receiver answers his call. "Hey, dude! Where are you thou?"
"Can I skip it?" He asks after being questioned of this whereabouts. He is hesitating to skip his best friend"s party to go with Zoey instead.
"Of course not! You have to be here; we haven"t seen you since you arrive! Tell me where you are now, and I"ll come and pick you up."
"Oh right!" He answered and then hung up his phone.
Tonight his friend organized his last bachelor night. Since his arrival, he and his best friend haven"t seen each other"s faces. They were just talking thru the phone or emailing one another.
Due to his busy life too that he can only free his schedule for 3 days for his best friend"s wedding. His best friend"s wedding will be held in a resort in the middle of an isolated island. They"ve reserved the entire resort for 3 days. And can only be reached by a one and a half hour boat travel.
He thought that if Zoey is an ice sculpture, she probably melted under his gaze. He looks at her again, contemplating what he should do now.
He then realizes to call the manager to reserve the room for the entire night until she wakes up. He asks the manager to ask someone to guard the door so no one will be able to intrude the room.
After his entire ask that is the time he went out of the room and of the bar"s premises.

While Lisa is still trying to figure out why Zoey would enter another room, she saw her friend stepped out again and went left; probably she will go to the comfort room. Following Zoey"s movements, the staff a.s.signed with the CCTV controls followed her direction. They then saw that there is a man following Zoey behind. Fear instantly filled Lisa"s heart is he trying to harm her friend? Why is he following Zoey? These kinds of questions rolled up her mind. Later on, they saw that Zoey is now carried by the man on his arms. Is she in danger or is she sleeping?
The man in the footage enters his room again.
"May I know who reserved and who is the guy on that room?" She politely asks the controller. The controller looked at her and said, "I"m sorry Miss but we cannot show the other VIP customer"s ident.i.ty."
The waiter beside her suddenly speaks up. "Oh, I remember him and the woman. He ordered a watermelon smoothie for her and requests to have a clean blanket." He pauses for a moment then continue while rubbing his chin. "So she the one sleeping on the couch."

Sweet cannot control her agitation anymore, so decided to step out of their room. While walking along the corridor, she heard two waiters talking.
"Manager Lim said to guard this door and don"t let anyone steps in. The Male Customer reserved the room for the entire night up until she wakes up." The waiter is explaining to his co-worker why is he standing there like a soldier. "Wow, this room is the most expensive room we have and he reserved it for a sleeping woman?" Exclaimed the other waiter.
"I know right! By the way, can I ask you a favor? Can you ask Receptionist Joy that if someone looks for a woman named Zoey Alcantara, tell them to go here? I pity the customer who reserved this room."
Sweet who is eavesdropping to the two waiters" conversation stands her body still and move forward to their direction.
"Hi! Did you say Zoey Alcantara was there?"
The waiter guarding the door looked at her and nods his head.
"OMG! Thank you!" Confirming the whereabouts of her friends, Sweet just then fell to relaxing.
"We"ve been looking for her this entire night" When the waiters heard that she knows Zoey and actually with her when they entered the premises. The waiter just then turned her over to Sweet.
The news that Zoey is found reached the ears of everyone in their group. With two of them knocked out from sleep, they"ve decided to go back to their hotel room.

While driving this black Mercedes, the man received another call. Unknown number flash to his screen. He receives the call thru this Bluetooth device.
"Sir, Miss Zoey was already turned over to her friends. They also left the premises a few minutes after." He cut the managers words, "Okay then, use my card"s detail and settle the payment for the room. Thank you." And then he hung up.
