Chapter 123: Chapter 123: A Morning Drive

As they walked out of the bathroom, Roman's phone rang, breaking the silence. He didn't rush to answer it, his eyes still locked on Bianca's. When he finally picked up, a male voice spoke on the other end.

"Hello, is this Roman Vitali?"

Roman's brow furrowed slightly. "Yes, this is him. Who am I speaking to?"

He wondered who it could be and how they got his number. Usually, his privacy was well-protected, and unknown calls were rare.

"Mr. Vitali, I'm John Doe from Retreat Rental Co. Last night, a reservation was booked under your name, and we called to confirm if it was really you who made the request."

Roman's confusion deepened. The company never called to confirm; they simply required identity information, which he had already left with Sarah.

"Yes, that's me," he replied, his eyes still on Bianca, who was watching him with interest.
