Chapter 1042: Chapter 537: Extra: Stay With Me 1
The man’s footsteps were originally headed westward, but upon hearing the sound, he halted, his brow furrowing even more than before.
The general manager hurriedly said, "General Laurence, you see, over there is the hotel..."
The man’s expression was indifferent and emotionless, and in that moment, two hotel employees emerged from a room to the east. The man standing at the corner happened to catch sight of this scene.
The man was about to leave, after all, occasional friction between hotel staff and guests did not merit his attention, but the slender figure following those two hotel staff captured his gaze.
A pale purple dress, an exquisite mixed-race face leaning towards Eastern beauty, fair skin, long legs...
The woman’s beauty was evident at a glance, stirring one’s heart.
"As long as you can show me your original purchasing receipt, I am willing to compensate, but if your hotel is just quoting exorbitant prices, I’m afraid I cannot pay."
The woman’s voice was calm and composed, as if possessing an inherent nobility, exuding elegance in every gesture.
"Miss, this is really making it difficult for us. We need to get the purchasing receipt from our general manager, but our manager won’t bother retrieving it for such a small matter."
The dispute continued, but the man’s gaze fell on the woman’s thin lips as she spoke.
Her lip shape was beautiful, and when she spoke, they appeared charming and tender.
"General Laurence, it’s just a minor issue... The guest accidentally broke a crystal swan ornament in the room, the most expensive decoration in the room, valued at eight thousand, but the guest is unwilling to compensate, hence the dispute arose..."
The general manager explained hurriedly, afraid of any problems occurring in the hotel, seeing that the boss had not moved yet.
"Waive her compensation!"
"Ah?"
The general manager was momentarily unresponsive, "Oh, okay, I’ll issue the order right away."
The man finally stepped forward and left.
Alice Robinson did not expect the hotel’s general manager to personally come and apologize to her.
"I’m sorry, is it Miss Robinson? It’s my mismanagement that led to the staff’s unreasonable claims against you. Since we’ve disrupted your night’s rest, we’ve decided not to require your compensation and hope you have a good night at the hotel."
Alice was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, "No... compensation needed?"
The hotel’s general manager nodded with a smile, "Yes, I’ll have the staff tidy up your room quickly so you can rest soon."
Alice still wanted to say something, but the general manager accompanied by the manager had already left the corridor.
Alice was puzzled but vaguely overheard the manager asking the general manager, "Why is there no need for compensation?"
"It’s the big boss’s direct order, are you going to defy it?"
"Big boss?" The manager was taken aback, suddenly wide-eyed, "You mean General Laurence?"
Perplexed, Alice turned back to her room, recalling the conversation between the hotel manager and general manager, a vague scene flashed in her mind.
While she reasoned with the hotel manager just now, she accidentally noticed a tall figure at the hotel’s corner...
A black suit, tall stature, exuding an air of nobility from head to toe, even without seeing the face, she already knew this man must be extraordinary.
Could this be the "General Laurence" mentioned by the general manager?
But why would this man help her?
The night’s incident was not worth dwelling on for Alice, whose mind was filled with concerns, leaving no room for such insignificant thoughts.
She rocked Rachel gently, until ten o’clock, when the little girl finally fell asleep.
Not knowing whether she was not kind enough in a past life, to give birth to such a demanding wimpy kid in this one...
Holding her couldn’t do, she had to move around the room, causing her arms to ache from carrying her.
Placing the wimpy kid on the bed, she looked at her daughter’s peaceful sleeping face and smiled contentedly.
But after smiling, a hint of bitterness lodged in her throat.
She sat on the bed’s edge, quietly watching Rachel, her nose becoming increasingly sore.
The child understands nothing now, but when she grows up a little, will she care about living in a single-parent family?
How should she be a mother to ensure the child can have a wonderful childhood even without growing up in a complete family?
Lowering her head, she kissed her daughter’s rosy cheek as she slept, and inwardly told her, "Rachel, for you, Mommy will be very strong, very strong. Mommy will never let anyone look down on us again."
