Chapter 5 Hurry Up and Come Here

584 Words
In the evening, Ronald and Oliver left the hotel for the banquet. When Elizabeth returned back to her office, she heard people whispering among themselves. "Do you know? Mr. Marquez's background is incredible. He's the boss behind the biggest consortium in our country and the leader of the Imperial Group." "Really? No wonder Mr. Booth is so nervous. Many big shots had come here, but I had never seen him so cautious like this." "How can he not be cautious? No one before has such an identity. I really envy Ms. Hubbard. She can Mr. Marquez! Since Ms. Hubbard is so beautiful, could it be that she is lucky and Mr. Marquez gets his eye on her, and directly takes her back to be his wife?" "Don't talk nonsense. If that housekeeping girl heard it, she would blame you. Her position as the housekeeper was taken away. You can't imagine how jealous she is now." They were whispering to each other, and neither of them noticed that there was a figure approaching them from the other side. "You have nothing to do? Have you done your work? You actually have the time to gossip here. I think that neither of you wants to work here anymore." Giana Henson, Manager of the housekeeping department, stared at the two waitresses in front of her and scolded them harshly. After being scolded, the two bowed their heads, apologized, and then quickly left. Giana's anger had not yet subsided when she saw Elizabeth standing awkwardly at the doorway. She walked up a few steps to Elizabeth's side and said in a mocking tone, "I always heard that Ms. Hubbard tends to employ filthy tricks, and finally I've seen it by myself. However, I'd like to remind you, Ms. Hubbard, that Cinderella only exists in fairy tales. You'd better keep your mind clear." Elizabeth understood her sarcasm but was not offended. She only smiled faintly. "You are so kind, Ms. Henson. I'll bear that in mind." Giana was even more annoyed since she failed to provoke Elizabeth. She glared at her, stepped on her high heels, and left with her head held high. Elizabeth looked at her back and sighed in her heart. 'You think I wanna do the job?' Elizabeth thought to herself. 'Come on! No one knows how much pain I'm suffering right now! It's not as glorious as it looks!' The Presidential Suite was equipped with a servant's room, where the housekeepers could stay and offered 24-hour personal service for the client. After dinner, Elizabeth returned to her room and waited for Ronald to come back. At around 10 p.m., she felt drowsy. Just as she was about to lie down on her bed and take a nap, the phone on the bedside table rang. Reaching out to grab the phone, she looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Oliver. Before leaving, they exchanged cell phone numbers with each other for communication. 'OK, let's see what happened,' thought Elizabeth. She took the phone and placed it beside her ear. "Hello, Mr. Gardner..." "Ms. Hubbard, please come to Room 999 of the Wildecastle Club right now," Neil replied in an undeniable tone. It seemed like he had met an emergency. 'Like boss, like assistant,' Elizabeth silently ridiculed in her heart. She could not help but ask, "Excuse me, can I know what this is about?" "It is about Mr. Marquez. You have 15 minutes. Come now!" After Oliver hung up before Elizabeth could reply.
