Chapter 122: Eve’s Role (I)
I shook my head and unconsciously rubbed my eyes hard before turning to look at Tanya, who was staring at the mountains, but her eyes were clear and she had a slight smile on her face.
While Tanya was staring at the mountains, I turned around to scan the hotel. While the entrance was covered with a glass panel, I could see a beautiful receptionist sitting at her desk while attending to a visitor.
Unconsciously, I looked up and noticed that this was a twenty-five-story structure. Someone grabbed my hand while I was looking up at the hotel’s top floor. I turned around, startled, to see Tanya, who had grabbed my hand, staring at me.
“What are you staring at?” Tanya said as she stared at me.
“Nothing,” I said, shaking my head, “I was just observing the hotel.”
“Hmm, This is one of the properties of the forces, exclusively for their employees,” She said while her eyes also scanned the Hotel.
Then she looked at me and said, “Come, let’s go inside,” as she walked away.
My gaze was drawn to her as I entered the lobby and made my way to the reception area, where Tanya was chatting with the receptionist.
My eyes scanned the lobby, which was subtly decorated with large couches in the center and a variety of paintings hung on the walls. To be honest, it appeared to be quite classic.
As I approached the reception area, the woman who was talking to Tanya shifted her gaze but was stunned, but she quickly returned her gaze to Tanya.
I was surprised because there aren’t many women who can keep their cool after seeing me. I was pleasantly surprised. I tried to listen in on their conversation but discovered they were discussing something about forces. I sighed as I walked towards a couch that caught my eye.
As I sat on the couch, my eyes were fixed on Tanya, while I called out to Eve, who appeared to be very quiet.
“Eve?”
“Yes, Alan?” She replied, but she didn’t seem to be very enthusiastic.
“You seem to be very dull?” I asked
“What would I say, all this time you were ogling that woman?” she scornfully replied.
Huh? What a drastic shift in her attitude. She didn’t appear to be a system.
“Are you getting jealous or what?” I asked amusingly, my gaze fixed on Tanya, who was chatting with that receptionist with a smile on her face.
“Jealousy and me? Don’t overthink it; I just didn’t want to bother you when you were having a good time,” She replied, but her tone was very different; she sounded like a jealous wife.
“Jokes aside, did you feel it as well?” I asked her.
“Yes,” she replied, her tone was serious.
“What do you think about it?” I asked her.
But before she could reply, I noticed Tanya looking at me and gesturing for me to come.
“We’ll talk later,” I told Eve as I stood up and approached Tanya.
As I walked towards Tanya, a big question arose in my mind. What Eve’s role might be, now that she appears to have gained consciousness. For a long time, I didn’t see her assigning me any tasks. Maybe I have to talk to her later.
As I approached Tanya, I noticed that she was staring at me and that she was holding a card in her hand.
“Give her your ID card,” Tanya said to me.
I nodded while my ID card appeared in my hand, as my gaze shifted to the receptionist, who was looking at me with a smile on her face.
She carefully examined my card before swiping it over a scanner and returning it to me.
She then handed me a room key. When I looked at the card, I noticed the number 251 written on it. Tanya caught my eye, and I noticed she wasn’t holding any cards.
“Your Room?” I asked her but observed that a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
Instead of answering the question, she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the elevator. I was perplexed by what she was doing. As soon as we were in front of the elevator, she pressed the button and turned to face me.
“Did you ask anything?” She said while that smile was still visible on her face.
“What about your room?” I asked her.
“Oh! Didn’t you know that we are going to stay together?” She said while her gaze was fixed on me.
My eyes widened when I heard her. I couldn’t believe any word she was saying to me.
“Don’t look at me like that. What, don’t you want to live with me?” she said.
I shook my head and said, “Why should I mind. Anyway, I would be staying with a great beauty like you.”
Unconsciously, my gaze scanned her splendid figure before returning to the elevator.
“Good, we are going to have a great time together,” her voice reached me while my eyes were fixed on the floor indicator.
I nodded and looked and her and said with a smile, “It would definitely be great,”
While my gaze was fixed on her, a very different emotion arose in me. I’m not sure why, but I’m completely infatuated with her. Her insane mischievousness has had a huge impact on me. And because of it, most of my mind was occupied with her.
But then the sound of the elevator interrupted my thoughts, and my gaze was drawn to it to see if it had arrived.
I noticed that some people came out of the elevator just as the door was opened, and they were taken aback when they saw Tanya in front of them. But my attention was drawn to one man, who became ecstatic when he saw Tanya.
“Tanya, what a surprise?”
Tanya, too, was surprised to see that man, and a smile formed on her face as she asked, “Bret, what are you doing here?”
I’m not sure why but seeing them speaking made me feel uneasy. It was clear from that man’s eyes that he was interested in Tanya.
I took a deep breath to calm myself and said to Tanya, “I’m going upstairs.”
Tanya was astonished, but with a meaningful expression on her face, she nodded her head, “Fine.”
But the man frowned as he looked at me, surprise visible on his face for a moment before his gaze shifted to Tanya and back to me, and he said, “Don’t you have any manners that you should not interrupt while the superiors are talking?”
When I saw the way he was looking at me, I felt a surge of rage in my heart “Who the fuck are you?” I yelled as I took a step toward him.
But before he could respond, Tanya stepped in and yelled “Stop it!” as she looked at me and said, “You go upstairs.”
My brow furrowed as I locked my gaze on that man who was looking at Tanya, and then my attention shifted to Tanya, who was looking at me seriously. I nodded at her, took one last look at that man, and stepped into the elevator.
As soon as I stepped into the elevator, I pressed the button, my gaze drawn to the mirror in front of me.
In the mirror, I could see myself. Even though I was the same person I used to be, I felt different. The look in those eyes had changed dramatically. I used to be indifferent about anything, but now I’m irritated by every single shit.
I’m not sure what happened to me. I suddenly felt jealous and insecure when I saw Man and Tanya talking to each other. But suddenly the sound of the elevator interrupted my thoughts, and I turned around to see that it had reached the twenty-fifth floor.
I took a deep breath as I stepped out of the elevator. My gaze drew towards the corridor, But I was surprised to find that not many rooms were there on this floor. A doubt arose in my heart while my eyes searched for room no 251. And after a while, I saw a door with the number 251 written on it.
I walked towards the door, scanning the entire corridor with my eyes. On this entire floor, there were only four rooms. I scanned the card as I approached the door, and the unlocking sound reached my ears.
And just as I opened the door, I was surprised for a moment before a mocking laugh escaped from my lips. It was a fucking presidential suite.
“Hah, what were you thinking all this time?” I mumbled as my eyes scanned the hall before spotting a door.
A large luxurious couch was placed in the center, a big television hung on the wall, a large dining table was placed on the side, and the windows were draped with bright curtains.
I sighed as I strolled towards the couch, and sat on it while my gaze fixed on the opened door, waiting for Tanya to arrive.
“Eve, I want to speak about something?”
