Chapter 4 So Embarrassed

543 Words
The main hall of the presidential suite was covered with a thick cashmere carpet imported from New Zealand. Handmade with care, it felt soft and plush underfoot as if one was stepping on clouds. However, given the circumstances, even if Elizabeth really stepped on the clouds, she wouldn't have enjoyed it. Ronald walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. Elizabeth followed beside him and wanted to speak, but she did not know what to say. She wasn't even sure if Ronald had recognized her or not. If he hadn't remembered her from the start, then her current awkward silence would only seem absurd. "Um...Mr. Marquez, what would you like for dinner?' she asked, forcing a smile. 'We've prepared a menu for you, and I'll show it to you now." Although she did not wanna be his housekeeper, she had to carry out her duties now that the situation had already forced her into the position. She turned around and walked over to the bookshelf. Then she took down a menu they had prepared beforehand and held it in front of him. Maybe it was because she was too anxious and desperate to show how professional she could be, she hit right against the tea table when she was headed to the sofa. It hurt so much that she instinctively bent down to reach her injured leg. At that time, she suddenly realized that she was still on duty, so she held back her tears. Stiffening her back, she walked over to Ronald with unsteady steps and handed over a menu with both hands, "Mr. Marquez, please have a look." Ronald took the menu and started flipping through it. Taking the chance while he was reading the menu, Elizabeth hurriedly bent over and rubbed her calf. "Do you need to see a doctor?" He asked, his eyes still on the menu. Upon hearing that, Elizabeth immediately adjusted her facial expression and stood up. "Mr. Marquez, thank you so much for asking. I don't need a doctor. It's just an accident. I'm fine now." "Mr. Marquez wasn't talking about your leg,' Oliver Gardner, the assistant explained as he walked over. 'He was suggesting that you check your ears to see if you might have BPPV, which could make your brain fail to receive signals of movements, leading to dizziness." Hearing that, Elizabeth felt embarrassed. It turned out that he wasn't concerned. He was just mocking her. "Sir, the Ostlea Corporation has arranged a welcoming dinner for you. It was personally invited by Sir Flores. Please do attend it." Ignoring Elizabeth, Oliver reported to Ronald. "We do need to respect him," Ronald said as he stood up. "Reply to him that I'll be there on time." "Yes, Mr. Marquez," Oliver answered. Hearing that they were going out to eat dinner at night, Elizabeth heaved a sigh of relief in her heart since they would spend less time together. When Ronald was changing his clothes, Elizabeth took the opportunity to ask Oliver for his schedule for the next few days. It turned out that Ronald would be fully scheduled, which meant he would only spend the nights at the hotel. That was such a relief for Elizabeth since she would have her daytime free.
