While Greatgranny Dawn was throwing a fit at the W Hotel, back at the luxurious estate in the capital of the Philippines.
William Cole had not left the estate since his arrival there.
He was free to move around the property.
However, Esme Garcia did not allow him to take a single step outside the estate, claiming that there were many enemies still in the Philippines and that keeping William inside the estate was for his protection.
Clearly, this felt more like house arrest than protection.
For many consecutive days, William had spent his time in tedium.
That day at noon, just after eating, William was taking a stroll around the estate.
A woman nicknamed "Spider" approached him, now out of her combat gear and sporting casual attire.
Without her pirate image, she could very well pass for a city woman: "William Cole!"
"Huh?"
William's eyes lit up, "You look really nice in this outfit."
