Director Wright was an extremely difficult mistress.
It was as if she thought that getting rid of anyone who could not satisfy her would turn her into a goddess admired by millions.
She stood in Anna's path and made a racket about firing her.
Jennifer watched with an amused attitude and a joyous smile on her face.
Anna tried to reason with Director Wright but she was unwilling to let it go.
"I don't have cash on me right now. How about you give me your bank account number? I'll instantly transfer the money to you once I get off work and get my phone back."
"I don't want your money! This is a seven-star hotel! The customer always comes first. I can't believe they have an employee like you. You must be fired immediately! Otherwise, I’ll lodge a complaint to every level of management!
"Doesn't this hotel have a policy to deal with their employees strictly as long as a guest lodges a complaint? I want to know if this is true!
"I want to see your supervisor. Bring him out right now!" Director Wright started shouting. She attracted the attention of many around them.
Some were worried that the incident would turn into a huge commotion and disturb other guests. Hence, they hurriedly went to look for the supervisor.
Anna was sweating bullets. It seemed like it was over for her!
Just then, the elevator door opened. A man's voice sounded.
"Who's asking for the supervisor?"
That voice had never sounded better to Anna. It was like the voice of an angel.
She glanced back happily to be met with Liam slowly sauntering toward her under the gaze of so many around them.
The crowd fell into pin-drop silence the moment they saw Liam.
Director Wright, too, had shut her mouth out of shock the moment she laid eyes on Liam Ackman. She gazed at him with fear and admiration.
The young man was exceedingly handsome. He was truly a flawless Prince Charming. Unfortunately, the aura he exuded was simply too frigid and too overbearing. He gave off the menacing air of a man born into greatness.
Liam glanced at Anna’s pale face. There was not much of an expression on Liam's chilling face.
He was in a meeting when he happened to notice the sudden movement of the GPS tracker he placed on Anna. He thought that the little lady was trying to escape, so he hurriedly chased after her.
Unexpectedly, he came down to see that the little lady had got herself into trouble again.
Anna slowly lowered her head, acting like a child who had been wronged, waiting for her parents to shelter her.
Seeing that made Liam's heart soften. He took another two steps forward and stood in front of Anna. He gazed at the middle-aged woman with cold eyes.
"What happened?”
Director Wright cleared her throat. "This bellhop dirtied my clothes! I want to make a complaint about her."
Liam looked down at the lipstick stain on Director Wright’s clothes. It was beautiful and vivid.
"I'll speak to her supervisor!" Director Wright thought that Liam was just another guest at the hotel, so she did not say much to him.
Even so, the intense aura given off by the man before her somehow made her want to back down.
Jennifer whispered into Director Wright’s ear, "You are a guest. In this hotel, guests always come first, so don't be afraid!"
Director Wright puffed up her chest and revealed, "She doesn’t want to compensate me for it. On top of that, she tried to escape! I must find a person I can reason with and have a proper talk with them."
Anna was exasperated. She did not try to escape at all!
"Oh? Is that true?" Liam turned to Anna with reproachful eyes.
How could that little lady always let others take advantage of her? Was her status as the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family just for show? Even without that prestige status, could she not just use her brain a little?
How utterly stupid!
Anna turned her head away angrily. She did not want t o see Liam's critical gaze.
