Harvey knocked on room 401 with Meiza pressed tightly against his side.
She didn't make any attempt to move because she didn't want to hurt Harvey's feelings or anything.

"You sure he's home?" Harvey asked her and she nodded.

A few seconds later, the door swung open and Connor stood there. He looked horrible. His hair was sticking out in weird places and his shirt was gone. He looked exhausted.

"Meiza? Harvey?" He blinked hard, confused to see them there. Harvey entered the room with Meiza still in his grip and shook his head.

"What the hell happened here?" Harvey questioned, gesturing to all the bottles on the floor.

"Does it matter? Why the hell are you here?" Connor replied rudely.

"I found your girlfriend wandering the streets alone and decided to bring her here," Harvey shot back.

Connor blinked again, realising Meiza standing uncomfortably next to Harvey.

"Did you sleep with him, huh Meiza?" Connor sneered and Meiza's eyes welled up. She felt even more guilty now. The room reeked of alcohol and Connor looked like he hadn't slept a wink.

"Of course not! Connor, I'm sorry for leaving you last night and not answering your calls. Please can we talk?" Meiza explained.

"Did you kiss him huh? I bet you did!" Connor accused and Harvey carefully observed Meiza's reaction.

"I don't want to lie to you, Connor so yes. I did," Meiza said strongly. Connor closed his eyes in frustration. "Connor I'm sorry!"

"Meiza I love you so much. I haven't done one bad thing to you and yet what are you doing?" He yelled in frustration.

"Connor I won't do anything like that again, I promise," Meiza pleaded. She hated to see him like this.

"I don't want to talk to you right now. Harv, you can make the decision for me. Do whatever you want," Connor sighed, grabbed his shirt and left.

Meiza turned to Harvey who had an evil glint in his eye. __________________________________

F4 and the rest had resided at Ah Si's house, desperate to find out more about the American, Connor Johnston.

"It says here that Connor's father is a highly successful photographer and has photographed tons of celebrities, events and so on," Ximen read off his laptop.

"He went into Harvard two years ago and is majoring in photography and art," He continued.

"Check his social media!" Ju suggested and Ximen nodded.

All eyes were glued to the screen as Ximen scrolled through Connor's Instagram page. There were a lot of pictures of Meiza.

"These... these are beautiful," Jing said in awe. Lei's eyes scanned each portrait of Meiza carefully. The pictures were spectacular and despite how much Lei disliked Connor, he had to admit that these were wonderful.

Meiza looked so peaceful and relaxed in most of them except for the pictures that were taken at parties.

"Is it just me or does Meiza look..." Shancai tried to search for the correct word.
