## Hazel's POV
The door clicked shut behind me as I entered my hotel suite. The luxurious room Sebastian had arranged felt cavernous and empty without him. I dropped my bags by the door and sank onto the edge of the king-sized bed, Fiona's words still ringing in my ears.
"You're putting his life at risk for your own comfort and ego."
I kicked off my heels and rubbed my tired feet. A soft knock at the connecting door interrupted my thoughts.
"Come in," I called.
Xiao Yang entered, his face professionally neutral. "Ms. Shaw, I've arranged for your schedule tomorrow. Would you like me to go through it now?"
I shook my head. "In the morning is fine. Thank you."
He hesitated, clearly noticing my distraction. "Is everything alright?"
"Did you see what happened downstairs?" I asked.
"With Ms. Xu? Yes." His expression remained carefully blank.
"Please don't report it to Sebastian," I said quietly. "I don't want him worrying while I'm away."
