She quits
650 Words
After leaving the hotel, Su Xixi didn't return to the hotel but went straight to her rented single apartment. The first thing she did upon entering was to fill a large tub with hot water and immerse herself in it, trying to alleviate the soreness all over her body with the warmth of the water.
Closing her eyes, her mind was filled with images of Gu Qibai. Their first time, second time, third time... all the way to tonight's encounter. Like a movie playing, everything was vivid.
Though she couldn't understand why he acted like this tonight, it was obvious that he had lost his senses. Was it because he was drunk? But that didn't seem right. Having worked in the hotel for a year, she knew that guests who were heavily intoxicated wouldn't be capable of such actions. Although she didn't want to admit it, she could feel that tonight he was completely different from his past self.
Two years ago, even though he faced her as a benefactor, he would still consider her feelings and try to be as gentle as possible. But tonight, he was like a starving lion, wanting to devour her alive.
Terrifying, it was too terrifying...
Deep down, she didn't want to have any ties with him anymore. She didn't want to recall the unbearable past from two years ago. Keeping away from him became her only choice!

The next day, early morning, at Lixing Hotel.
As soon as Tan Yan stepped into his office, Su Xixi followed closely behind.
"General Manager, I need to talk to you." Su Xixi, with a face looking somewhat haggard after a sleepless night, sat down on the sofa. Tan Yan was a bit surprised to see her but immediately invited her to sit down and poured her a cup of coffee. "What's wrong? You came over so early. Is there something wrong with Mr. Gu?"
Accepting the coffee, Su Xixi placed it directly on the coffee table in front of her and said, "I want to return to the guest room department. Please arrange for someone from the housekeeping department to take over my work."
Tan Yan's face changed upon hearing this, and he immediately became nervous. "What's going on? Did you offend Mr. Gu? This is bad. How many times did I remind you before? I told you to take good care of him. Why did you still..."
"No, I didn't offend him," Su Xixi quickly interjected, seeing Tan Yan's concern.
Relieved by this reassurance, Tan Yan's complexion finally softened, and he put on a smile again. "I knew you were capable. How could you not handle Mr. Gu? But since you didn't offend him, why do you want to change positions?"
"I..." Su Xixi lowered her head, feeling a bit at a loss for how to answer the question.
Seeing her hesitating, Tan Yan adjusted his expression and said seriously, "Xixi, now is the time when the hotel needs you the most. Since Mr. Gu is still relatively satisfied with you, you can't let me down at this critical moment. I know serving Mr. Gu is not easy, so how about this? After this matter is over, I'll give you some extra bonus this month."
"It's not like that, Manager Tan. I'm not asking for more bonus," Su Xixi said quickly, seeing his misunderstanding.
Tan Yan was really confused now.
There were no mistakes at work, and she didn't want more bonus, so what was it for?
"I'm not from the housekeeping department after all, and I'm not familiar with the business. I don't have the confidence to handle this job. Although I haven't done anything wrong now, there's no guarantee that I won't make a mistake one day and offend this important person. By then, it might drag down the hotel..." Su Xixi's voice was filled with lack of confidence as she spoke.
