Witnessing this, Cole jumped to her defense, arrogantly questioning the waiter, “If the presidential suite has always been vacant, why can’t we use the unused elevator?”
The waiter appeared uneasy. “It was indeed unoccupied before, but a guest checked in last night.”
Selene felt increasingly ashamed. She was already embarrassed when she realized she had taken the wrong path. Now, Cole’s sudden outburst at the waiter only added to her discomfort, making her feel uninformed.
She spun around, preparing to leave, while Cole called her name from behind. Watching her walk away, Cole pursed his lips, muttering to himself, “What a moody girl!”
He brushed aside his forehead bangs, popped a lollipop in his mouth, and noticed the elevator in front of him flashing with a number.
What a surprise! The elevator, which was supposed to be empty, had arrived.
Rather than leaving hastily, he lingered to glimpse the affluent individual who'd opted for a presidential suite costing over a hundred thousand dollars per night.
The elevator arrived, and its doors slowly opened.
As Cole locked eyes with the person inside, he exclaimed in shock, as though witnessing something horrifying, “Ariana? Why are you here?” ©
Once the elevator doors opened a crack, Ariana recognized a group of familiar faces in the restaurant. She was so frightened that the back of her head turned cold.

Facing the elevator alone, Theodore could do nothing but smile helplessly. He finally understood how much he didn’t want to publicize his relationship with Ariana back then, and how regretful he felt about that decision now.
Outside the elevator, Ariana felt relief once the doors were fully closed.
“Wasn't there another guy in there? It looked like a man in a wheelchair.” Before Cole could see the man’s face clearly, Ariana managed to block his view.
“That was one of the hotel staff,” she answered, slightly apprehensive.
With those words, she strutted toward an empty table where she took a seat and started to order.
“Why were you stepping out of the elevator exclusively for the presidential suite?”
Cole followed Ariana to her table and asked. His question attracted the attention of others in the restaurant. Most of them witnessed what had just happened and were wondering how Ariana was able to move into the presidential suite as well.
Ariana put down the menu on her table and said with a stiff smile, “I paid for the room with my own money, of course,
