Chapter 469
Megan linked arms with Charlotte as she led her down the hallway to the room they would be staying in that night.
“Here you go, this one’s yours,” Megan said softly, almost sounding a little guilty.
Charlotte nodded. “Thanks.”
Then Megan glanced at Sean and pointed to a room diagonally across the hall. “Sean, yours is over there.”
Charlotte paused for a moment.
Megan had deliberately arranged for them to stay in separate rooms.
Her eyes dropped slightly, but she said nothing.
Sean’s gaze turned cold. He gave Megan a sidelong glance and said “No need to go through the trouble. I’ll stay in the same room with Lottie.”
Megan’s lashes fluttered. She rushed to explain, “But Lottie’s room is a single. It’ll be too cramped for two.”
This cruise ship had over a hundred guest rooms, each fully equipped and luxuriously furnished. There was even a helipad on the deck. Inside, the ship had everything–private cinemas, bars, dance halls, card rooms, billiards, and a massive pool at the stern.
There was no way they were short on space. Megan’s little scheme couldn’t have been more obvious.
Charlotte didn’t comment, but Sean wasn’t about to play along.
He walked straight into the room, looked around, and said, “It’s not cramped at all. A smaller space feels cozier, right, Lottie?
“Put the luggage there,” he added, motioning to the crew.
Along with Charlotte’s suitcase, Sean had his own bags placed inside too–clearly planning to stay for the night.
Truthfully, the room was far from small. It was a luxurious king–size suite, more than comfortable for two. But Sean intentionally called it “cozy,” just to make it clear he had no intention of being separated from her.
Charlotte glanced up at him, amused. She smiled and said, “It’s fine, Megan. He can stay with me.”
A flicker of disappointment crossed Megan’s face, but she pressed her lips together and nodded. “Alright, then.”
“Miss Stone, thanks for walking us to our room,” Sean said with a smile.
And with that, he shut the door right in Megan’s face.
“Was that polite?” Charlotte let out a soft laugh.
“I mean, who does that to the host?” she thought.
Sean’s lips curved into a smirk. “I said thank you. Isn’t that polite enough?”
“Oh, incredibly polite,” she teased.
“Forget her,” Sean said as he pulled Charlotte into kiss you.”

His voice dropped to a low, magnetic tone. “I’ve been wanting to

The kiss was slow and deep, their tongues entwined in a lingering breathless tangle.
Outside the door, Megan stood frozen in place.

Petra remained expressionless. In a flat voice, she asked, “Miss Signe, where’s my room?”
Megan finally snapped out of it and answered politely, “It’s over there. I’ll take you.”
“Alright.”
Megan wasn’t one to torget kindness.
The last time she had been drugged, it was Charlotte and Petra who had saved her. According to Charlotte, Petra had single- handedly taken down all the men involved. Megan had been shocked and grateful.
That was why she had invited Petra to her birthday cruise and even arranged a luxurious private suite just for her.
When the kiss finally ended, Charlotte was breathless.
She glanced at the mirror and frowned. “You smudged my lipstick
Sean chuckled. “Just touch it up.”
