ACE



A few hours later, they arrived at Gina's boarding house. He himself opened Gina's door with a key. As soon as they entered the house, he first observed if the alarm system he was setting would sound. However, there was no high-pitched warning to meet them.



"Do you remember when you set the alarm?" He immediately asked Gina.



"Of course, I set the alarm before I left."



"Are you sure, Gina?"



"I'm sure, because I always--"



"Who else did you give access to?"



"I didn't give anyone, Ace. Not even Janice."



"Stay here." He shut the door as she was still speaking and drew his weapon. As he had observed, nothing seemed out of place in the living room. He opened Gina's bedroom, moved into the connecting bathroom and went through to the other room he was going to occupy. All his equipment is complete after he moved into Gina's house a week ago. He also checked the cabinet

GINA



She stared at her reflection in the mirror for a moment. She also doesn't want Ace to think that she's attracted to him, but how come? Maryam has thrown away all her pajamas and flannel nightgowns, and she has replaced them with lingerie. So what can she wear before bed hour?



She entered the room occupied by Ace and there she looked for clothes that she could wear before going to sleep. Anyway, she told Ace that she would go into his room and fix his bedding. As soon as she entered his room, she immediately saw Ace clothes on the hangers. She took a white sweatshirt with blue stripes from there and immediately put it on, because she thought that was the only decent thing she could wear because it was oversized and it was just above her knee.



When she started to fix Ace's bedding, the water stopped flowing from the bathroom. She hurried out of the room and moved to the livin

GINA



"Good morning sleepyhead, don't you have any plans to get up there?"



She tried to open her eyes even though she was still sleepy. She saw Ace sitting next to her, holding a mug as he inhaled the aroma of coffee. Her gaze settled on the steaming mug he tipped to his mouth. She got up and Ace handed her a mug with hot coffee.



"If you're always like this Ace, I might be spoiled." She said and gave him a sweet smile. "Hmmm..."



She glanced at Ace and saw him that he was fresh from the bath. She thought it wasn't fair because he was now wearing a sweater and jeans, while she was still wearing her husband's loose shirt with her messy hair. She also noticed that he looked irritated and just insisted on not showing it to her.



"You look like you have a period, is there a problem?"



ACE



He averted his eyes from Gina and sipped the coffee in his mug again. "Nothing."
