"Mr. Austin, you have been here a bunch of times, you really can't work the TV?"
She looked super cautious, which made the guy a little antsy.
"But I really can't turn it on!"
Chloe nodded, "Alright, I'll get someone from maintenance to help out. Dorthy, could you get someone over here?"
"Sure thing!" Dorthy immediately nodded and pulled out her walkie-talkie, dialing maintenance.
"But won't you come in and take a look first? You might be able to fix it?"
Chloe had a teasing smile, "Mr. Austin, you're giving me way too much credit, I'm not some kind of wizard."
"But..."
"Hey, maintenance? This is the front desk, the TV in room 1613 won't turn on, could you send someone over?"
Mr. Austin wanted to say something, but Dorthy had already spoken.
He looked a bit miffed. Thinking about someone coming over, he reached out to grab Chloe's hand again, but she dodged aside, leaving him grabbing at thin air.
"Why are you avoiding..."
Before he could finish, a plump woman suddenly charged over. She grabbed Dorthy's arm, looked at her for a bit, then turned to look at Chloe. After one glance at her, she let go of Dorthy and rushed at Chloe.
It all happened too fast, and no one could react. The woman was already lunging at Chloe before anyone could stop her.
Chloe got slammed into the wall. The woman was hefty; Chloe felt a dull pain in her chest after being slammed against the wall.
"You hussy, can't you get enough men? You have so many to choose from, why do you have to seduce someone else's husband?"
The woman grabbed Chloe's collar while she was still off balance and gave her a shake.
Chloe's eyes turned icy, and she stared down at the shorter, plump woman. "Let go of me. Now."
The woman was taken aback by the chill emanating from Chloe, and let go of Chloe's collar a bit.
Chloe suddenly grabbed the woman's wrist and pushed her away. The woman stumbled a few steps, her face jiggling as she steadied herself.
