Chapter 512
Christina paid and got out of the car. The driver enthusiastically helped her take down the suitcase from the boot of the car. “Thank you,” Christina said.
The driver waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem. Before driving off, he wished Christina good luck.
This made Christina, who had come to Sapphire City for the first time, have a good impression of this city. She stood at the entrance of the tall hotel with her black suitcase and fell into deep thought.
Christina had always been willing to stay in hotels when she traveled overseas. She had also followed Charlie’s instructions and always taken safety first. Hence, there was no way she would treat herself badly.
However, why would such a big hotel still have rooms left? Why were the rooms of the surrounding low-rise buildings full? Was the consumption level of the people in this city relatively low?
Christina had her doubts about this city. This time, she had not booked a hotel before she went out, and had only booked it before she boarded the plane. In the end, all the better hotels were full, and there was not even a standard room.
Only the largest hotel in Sapphire City had spare rooms. The receptionist told Christina that she could have any room she wanted. This was really strange and puzzling.
Christina stood at the door and thought for a while. She looked around and saw that there were people coming and going, but she still could not find an answer to why the hotel still had rooms. Perhaps she would know when she went into the hotel and asked the receptionist.
With this thought in mind, she wheeled her suitcase down the hall and took out her ID. “Give me a room with a big bed, please.”
The receptionist quickly booked a room for Christina and handed over the room card, signaling the security guard to help carry the luggage. Just as the security guard was about to step forward to help, Christina politely refused. “No need, thank you. I can do it myself.”
Christina did not take the room card and leave immediately. Instead, she continued to ask the receptionist politely, “Hello, this is
my first time in your city. Can I ask you a few questions?”
The receptionist said, “Miss, how can we help you?”
Christina thought to herself, “The receptionist’s attitude is quite good. Why are the other hotels full, but this hotel is empty? Isn’t it well-run?”
She smiled at the receptionist and asked, “Is business usually not very good in this hotel? I’m sorry for asking so abruptly. You can choose not to answer.”
The receptionist lightly, maintaining her professionalism. “Miss, our hotel business has always been very good,”
In that case, Christina did not continue asking. Otherwise, it would seem like she was asking about the enemy’s situation. Logically speaking, the business of this kind of hotel should be good during the Christmas season. For example, Frank had earned a lot of money from Grand Manor.
Christina took the room card and

She took off her sunglasses and looked at the time. It was already dinner time. It seemed like there was no way to inspect today. However, the discussion with the driver just now could be considered an inspection.
Since she was already here, she should experience a foreign dinner. Christina did not unpack her luggage and followed the hotel map manual given by the front desk to a restaurant.
In Sapphire Hotel’s presidential suite, a man in a sweater suit stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the endless stream of cars coming and going below. This was the form of life.
With his hands behind his back, he did not say a word. After a long while, the man said, “Remember to wear a mask when you go out.”
Ethan stood respectfully at the side with his hands folded in front of his chest, and nodded in agreement despite not knowing why. “Yes, Mr. Turner.”
Then, he continued saying, “Mr. Turner, before we came, Miss instructed you to eat on time. It’s time to eat now.”
Ethan did not ask if Joseph wanted to go down and eat, or if he wanted Ethan to buy takeaway and bring it back for him to eat. This was up to Joseph to think about himself.
Joseph turned around, and the corners of his lips twitched. “You sure know how to listen to Ava. Wear a mask and go buy takeaway. We won’t be returning to the manor tonight. We’ll stay here.”
“Alright, Mr. Turner. I’ll go now.”
After Ethan left, Joseph was left alone in the presidential suite. He continued to look at the scenery outside the windows and
looked down.
Half an hour ago, he had already informed Ava and the others that he had safely landed.
After dinner, Christina returned to her room and prepared to work overtime to search for information about the boss of this company. She began to do a background check seriously. It would be great if she could find the boss’s preferences and hobbies. If she was satisfied with the equipment, she could find an entry point.
However, Christina was more curious. Why did her mother not scold her to death after she escaped this time? This was strange.
Entering the website provided in the computer’s web browser, the brand was Xaynum from the past. However, the website mainly contained introductions to the company’s history, information about investments, the number of employees, and the land area. It lacked other details, including the fact that even the legal representative had an Arillion name: family.
