The CEO is Obsessed with Me

Chapter 3: He Didn't Recognize Her

Adrian's long, narrow eyes squinted slightly as he scrutinized the woman frozen in the elevator, a faint, almost imperceptible smile curling at his lips.

Her work uniform was clean and neat, its style extremely simple, yet it accentuated her perfect figure.

Collarbones, a slim waist, and long legs, all were fully displayed. Her black hair was specially tied up today, making her look sweet with a hint of allure.

Two years had passed, and she had matured quite a bit, looking even more charming.

This little woman, who had left without a word, he had secretly sent people to look for her for two years, but it was as if she had vanished into thin air. They had found no trace of her.

Thinking of the passionate moments they had shared two years ago, a ripple of emotion involuntarily stirred within him.

"The butler you mentioned, is it her?" Adrian asked in a deep voice, his gaze already shifting away from Natalie, his face calm and unreadable.

Was he so calm because he didn't recognize her?

Hopefully, he didn't recognize her, Natalie prayed inwardly.

Mr. Rivers, hearing his words, quickly turned to look inside the elevator. Seeing Natalie standing there dumbfounded, he hurriedly introduced her, "Mr. Collins, this is our hotel's housekeeping manager, Natalie."

"Manager Blake, this is the VIP guest in our presidential suite, Mr. Collins." Mr. Rivers introduced.

"Then let her be my butler," Adrian's tone was light and indifferent, but it carried a sense of non-negotiation.

"Mr. Collins, I am from the housekeeping department and not familiar with butler duties, I'm afraid..." Natalie tried to decline politely.

Over the past two years, she had completely cut ties with him and now wanted no contact with him whatsoever.

Before she could finish, Adrian asked with a hint of amusement, "What, Manager Blake is unwilling?"

Though it sounded like a question, it clearly left no room for refusal.

"Of course she's willing! Mr. Collins, it's an honor for Hilton Grand Hotel and Manager Blake to have the opportunity to serve you." Mr. Rivers interrupted, not giving Natalie a chance to refuse, signaling her to be smart.

Indeed, with his overwhelming power, how could Natalie dare to refuse and risk confrontation?

Adrian ignored Mr. Rivers, staring at Natalie without blinking, waiting for her answer.

Natalie averted her gaze, lightly licked her lips, and pretended to be calm, saying, "Willing."

The elevator doors closed, leaving only General Manager Mr. Rivers and the temporarily appointed butler Natalie with Adrian.

The elevator ascended directly to the top floor presidential suite.

Mr. Rivers stepped out of the elevator, intending to lead them to the room, but was blocked by a large hand from the assistant beside him.

"Mr. Rivers, please stay here. From now on, Manager Blake will handle everything. Mr. Collins dislikes being disturbed. During this time, manage the hotel's entrance and ensure no irrelevant personnel come in."

Mr. Rivers, astute as he was, immediately understood the assistant's implication.

Though it was a bit awkward to be blocked, he quickly nodded, "Please rest assured, Mr. Collins, our security system is always impeccable."

"Good," the assistant said. After his boss and Natalie exited the elevator, he closed the elevator doors and watched it descend.

Inside the presidential suite, the living room was covered with thick handmade New Zealand wool carpets, stepping on it felt like walking on clouds.

The room was eerily quiet, Adrian's faint breathing audible to Natalie's ears.

Nervously, she rubbed the sweat from her palms, trying to appear calm as she asked, "Mr. Collins, the hotel has prepared a custom dinner menu for you. I'll bring it for your review."

Their gazes collided in the air.

"Miss Blake, you seem very nervous," he said, still looking at the menu, his tone casual. "Don't you know how to serve clients?"
