Roland gazed helplessly at the woman before him. Her calmness made him wonder if she realized the gravity of what she had done, or if even the tiniest sense of guilt was weighing on her conscience.

Roland's body grew weak and he seemed to have lost control of his limbs when he saw what Tracy had done. He flailed in the sea and nearly choked on the seawater, but someone from the crew eventually came to his aid. However, Tracy did not seem to struggle in such a manner.

Roland shuddered when he noticed that, and Tracy happened to catch his unease through the mirror. She asked impatiently, "What's the matter with you? Did you catch a cold because you were drenched? Or are you scared by that woman from earlier?"

'She cares about me,' Roland thought to himself. He approached Tracy and embraced her affectionately despite her seeming impatience.

"I'll never betray you," he said.

Tracy smiled in satisfaction after hearing what he said. "Good. Now tidy things up. I don't want you to catch a cold. I'd be worried if you do."

An unsettling feeling lingered when Penny left. She sensed someone observing her closely, but she did not dare to look back. Thoughts of the large wet footprints in Tracy's room haunted her thoughts because she knew that those footprints could not possibly belong to Tracy. Tracy was not that short, but the tracks resembled boat tracks, suggesting it could be a man.

'What is she hiding?' Penny wondered. Tracy mentioned having taken a shower to try and imply that the footprints were hers, but Penny doubted it. She was not stupid enough to accept such an explanation. Her first thought was that Tracy might not be worried at all if Penny found out the truth, and was merely saying that for the sake of it.

A chill ran down Penny's spine, and she found it frightening when she sensed that ice-cold emptiness behind Tracy's smile. "I shouldn't dwell on it. I'm just a nobody..."

Penny approached Shaun to relay what she knew, but Shaun dismissed her worries with a wave of the hand. "Okay."

Despite Penny's attempts to divert her thoughts, she could not help herself from thinking about it whenever she was alone. At some point, Monica patted her shoulder. "Ah!" Penny yelled.

Monica was a little startled by Penny's yell and asked, "What's gotten into you? I greeted you from across the room earlier. Didn't you see me?"

Penny shook her head in fear. "Sigh... I haven't told you this yet, but I'm considering finding a new job now. I can't bear working in this industry anymore."

Monica chuckled. "Why would you think that way all of a sudden? You used to be so ambitious! Didn't you say you wanted to become one of those gold-rated agents?"

Before Penny entered the industry, she had dreamed of becoming a gold-rated agent, one that was capable of transforming any artist into a sensation. However, the high entry barriers to that position forced her to start as a general crew member.
