You've messed up some in the past, but your wife always forgave you, didn't she? The main goal this time is to protect your niece. There's no need for you to hide. Otherwise, I think Makenna might give you a piece of her mind when she gets home."
Hearing Rhoda say all this in one breath, the ill-mannered man suddenly calmed down. "Yeah, you're right. At most, I'll get a few whacks from the old lady, but she might be in danger..."
Rhoda sighed. Men in this world were such a letdown. He'd never even mentioned to his wife about staying in a seven-star hotel or giving her a romantic experience, let alone cherishing her! It seemed that men were always after the new and shiny, always thinking the grass was greener on the other side!
Despite her disdain for him, Rhoda still said, "Here's the deal, Mr. Austin. I have a suggestion, are you open to it?"
"Spit it out!"
The coarse man waved his hand impatiently.
Rhoda quickly said, "So you can..."

Chloe went straight to room 1606. As soon as she rang the doorbell, the door was opened instantly, which surprised Chloe a bit.
"Ah, it's you. Give me the water! Thanks a bunch!"
Rhoda's face was full of smiles from the moment she opened the door. It was as if she had planned to wear this smile to face her.
Chloe slightly furrowed her eyebrows. How did she have the guts to show such a fake smile? She was throwing her weight around before, and now suddenly she'd changed her tune, which was suspicious.
With a slight raise of her eyebrow, Chloe's eyes flashed with irony. This woman who couldn’t even control her expressions and behavior was not even in the same league as Keira.
The only problem was that she was not as familiar with this woman as she was with Keira.
Handing the two bottles of water to Rhoda, she asked coldly, "Is the hotel's water really that good?"
With a clearly questioning tone, Rhoda shrugged, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "Yeah, have I been drinking too much? Sorry about that, I really love it, so I might have to trouble you more often."
Chloe looked at her smile and kept her own, "No trouble at all." As she said this, her foot made a slight move, accompanied by a dull sound.
Rhoda jumped, taking a step back, watching her warily. "What... what are you doing?!"
Chloe's left leg moved slightly forward.
Rhoda looked down to see a cardboard box under Chloe's foot. She looked carefully at the printing on it and found that it was a box of water, the same brand as the one in her hand.
"Here you are!"
Chloe's gaze moved up slightly, smiling at her, "You're the first customer I've seen who likes our hotel's special water so much. Yes, it's glacial water, vacuum-packed. I understand why you like it. Thank you for your support to our hotel. I'm giving you this box of water on behalf of the hotel."
