feared rushing into things would backfire and cause my memories to return. Hence, I abandoned my plan to get closer to the Hottie the next day.
Instead , I focused on spending time with Grandma. At the same time, I also found an issue at the company that required Irvin to go back and handle it.
Right now, I was so afraid of going back to being a lovesick fool again that I didn’t even want to breathe the same air as him.
Seeing that I was behaving and Noah wasn’t around, Irvin decided to return to Claudeville. The issue I had found at the company was quite serious and really needed his attention anyway. So, after taking one last look at me from afar, he left.
I instantly felt lighter once he did.
Cordelia had a one–month break from work, so we planned on staying in Daiti for more than half of it. We would head back to Claudeville when it was almost time for her to resume work.
I thought of proceeding with my plan before we went back provided I didn’t have any dreams like the one from yesterday night and showed no signs of recovering my memory. I had to destroy all chances of us getting back together before I could consider anything else.
Hence, I continued chatting casually with the Hottie. We had even grabbed a few drinks together.
The beach was littered with blond–haired and blue–eyed men. Additionally, they were all handsome and toned
Grandma might be old but she was still a sucker for good looks. Thus, she wanted to spend time on the beach so she could ogle all the hot guys. Cordelia and I also spent the day on the beach, accompanying her.
At first, the sight of so many men with eight–pack abs excited us. However, after staring at them the whole day, we quickly grew tired of it. Plus, I had also stayed up late the night before, analyzing data the lab had sent.
So, not only had I lost interest in ogling the eye candy available, but I was even feeling sleepy as I lay on this beach
chair.
I was about to drift off to sleep when a loud rumbling sound suddenly filled the air. Everyone instinctively looked toward the sky.
A dozen helicopters were heading toward the hotel. Our hotel was located on an island, so we had to come and go using helicopters. Hence, they were a common sight. However, it certainly wasn’t normal for a dozen of them to land at once.
Cordelia had always loved learning about anything exciting that was happening, so she immediately went to find out what was going on.
Since she couldn’t chat much at work, she loved talking to people whenever she was on a break. Hence, she had already made many acquaintances here even though we hadn’t been here long.
She came back with news a short while later

“It seems one of the hotel’s housekeepers saved a VVIP. Now, the big shot has recovered and wants to leave, and he wants to bring her with him. The hotel staff are all saying she’s struck gold! Who would have though come across a scene from a novel while on vacation!” Cordelia yelled in excitement.
Her work was usually boring and mind–numbing, so she loved reading romance novels in her free time. She felt

this situation was like a fictional situation coming to life.
Then , she suddenly remembered how I had saved someone from drowning two days ago.

“ You know, it’s funny. You saved someone too , so why arent you in the housekeeper’s shoes? ” Cordelia asked.
I laughed and replied , “There are plenty of cases of people saving lives, but not all of them rescued big shots. We’ve even witnessed some in the short time we’ve been here . How could someone rich and powerful be involved in every single one?”
It was common for people to fall overboard or drown in the sea. In the two days we had been here, we saw many cases of people falling overboard into the water. Hence, we didn’t link the big shot with the man I had saved on the first night we were here.
