Chương 214: Alone on an island (2)

Hours ticked by with no sign of Jordan's return. Nor was there any boat waiting to carry Tessa off the island, should she need to depart quickly. Growing anxious, she decided she couldn't simply wait around any longer.

Hefting her luggage, Tessa set off on her own in search of the resort's main office or lobby. She trekked across the abandoned grounds, passing placid koi ponds, neatly raked zen gardens, and several exquisite yet vacant villas.

'The owner does have good taste. So far all the villas I have passed by on the beach are breathtaking. Though I wonder where this rich woman the boat guy described is. She's not in any of the villas I have checked. In fact no one is here,' Tessa thought anxiously.
