"We met on the way," explained Jean.
She just hoped Arthur could chill out. She just told him the deputy manager was her dad's confidant and didn't want him to stir the trouble up again.
The deputy manager didn't seem to be sold on her explanation, which made her uneasy.
Luckily Arthur acted as if nothing had happened. "Since there's someone waiting to pick you up, I'll get out of your hair."
It seemed that they weren't familiar with each other. The deputy manager looked up at Arthur.
"OK, see you," said Jean, smiling.
They both acted quite naturally as if they only met on the way.
Arthur then hailed a taxi and left. Jean, with the deputy manager and her assistant, got in the car. The deputy manager was perplexed and couldn't figure out their relationship.
Was the young man chasing after Jean? Why did he act as if he didn't have feelings for her?
Was Jean annoyed by this guy? Why didn't she shrink from him?
He didn't give up on probing into the detail. "You two really met on the way?"
"He came to participate in a business program. You can look it up to see if it's true."
He looked it up. It was true.
But he still couldn't understand. "I remembered seeing him at the company last time. He wanted to see you but you asked the security guard to throw him out. Is he still badgering you?"
Jean remained poised. "Yes, we talked about it. Now we are friends again."
The deputy manager took a deep breath. "Good, you know, your father wants you to marry a local."
"Oh," answered Jean. Then she started to discuss work with her assistant and turned back on the deputy manager.
When they arrived at the hotel, the deputy manager froze when he looked up. The man who was checking in at the receptionist was none other than Arthur.
Was it too… coincidental?
Jean didn't expect that Arthur booked the same hotel. She was also stunned.
"Why did he also stay here?" The deputy manager threw her a suspicious look.
He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't get a fix on it.
"Why should I know? I don't know him well," groaned Jean. Then she went up to check in.
She was frayed at the moment. She would blow a gasket no matter who picked on her.
"What a coincidence? You also stay in this hotel?" When Arthur saw Jean coming over angrily, he greeted her with a smile. He was sure that she was pissed off because he also stayed here.
After all, she was still very averse to him when she listened to his confessions.
"It's really a coincidence." Jean gritted his teeth and said without looking at him.
Arthur just checked in. He walked slowly to the elevator. It was really coincidental that the elevator didn't come until Jean finished checking in.
Arthur pushed his suitcase inside. Jean, the deputy manager, and her assistant also came in, followed by several more people. Jean was shoved against Arthur.
It was exactly what Arthur wanted. He took the opportunity to gently hold Jean's waist in the corner. Anyway, people couldn't see them. He became unscrupulous.
Jean didn't turn a hair, but she stomped on his feet with high heels. Arthur hissed with pain. She was so cruel. No men could stand the attack of women's high-heeled shoes. Arthur had to take back his hands and stand straight against the wall.
"The top floor, please." Arthur found that no one pressed the top floor, so he spoke it in fluent English.
His perfect English made the deputy manager look at him again.
Most importantly, He was going to the top floor.
The hotel they booked was not cheap, and those who could afford the top floor were either rich or significant.
The deputy manager thought that this young man wasn't anybody. He needed to ask Jean about it. The young man also looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had met him.
Jean's room was on the tenth floor. When the elevator stopped, she immediately walked out without saying goodbye. How dare he put his hands around her wrist?
She wanted to chop his hands off. How could she still say goodbye to him?
As soon as they walked out of the elevator, the deputy manager said, "Your friend wasn't anybody, was he?"
Jean knew what he meant. He was probing into his background. Since now Arthur was already in their hospital, the deputy manager would report this to her dad anyway. She didn't try to hold out on him anymore.
"His name is Arthur, a surgeon and the successor of Riverside City Hospital," said Jean. Then she and her assistant went back to her room.
Her assistant was a girl so she could get into her room. She also got some work to coordinate with her.
The manager was left, stunned.
The successor of Riverside City Hospital?
No wonder he found him familiar. Arthur was interviewed by a financial magazine recently. He was not only the successor but also an outstanding surgeon.
No way.
Though the manager was Jean's father's henchman, he somehow supported them to be together, especially after he knew who Arthur was.
Wasn't his family way better than Mario's?
What if he was not a local?
The riverside city wasn't far. It would only take 2 to 3 hours to drive there.
The deputy manager planned to report it to Jean's father. He wanted to say that there was no need to insist on finding Jean a local. But he decided to wait a bit, given they looked quite unfamiliar just now.
What if they really broke up? He would cause trouble for everyone.
But he really respected Jean for kicking out of such a golden single.
She got a strong personality.
