Chapter 2717
Leah picked her luggage up and into the trunk of her car, then turned around and looked at the manager.
Thank you, but I don't think I'll need it."
"Ms. Younge..."
"Did something happen?"
Upon hearing someone else's voice, Leah turned her head and saw Dennis getting out of a car and walking toward the two of them.
The manager nodded slightly. "Mr. Clarke."
Leah narrowed her eyes. "Do you know each other?"
Dennis explained with a smile, "I own this hotel, but I didn't expect you to be here."
Leah was astonished. "Is that so?"
"What happened?" Dennis asked the manager for an explanation, and the manager answered truthfully.
Dennis frowned. "If something like that did happen, that employee is worth firing.
"B-But the hotel is currently in a shortage of manpower, and I'm afraid that it'll be difficult for us to recruit newcomers after firing him." The manager could not help but feel that Dennis had gone overboard with his decision.
Dennis looked at him with a deep cold gaze. "If he's caused such panic to our guest and we're not going to fire him, what can we say to explain our mistake to the other guests? Besides, would an experienced employee make such a mistake?"
The manager was at a loss for words for a while and nodded. "Okay, I'll get it done now."
He then turned around and left.
Leah looked at his back as he left, wondering what was going on in his mind.
Dennis smiled at this time. "I'm sorry to have let you go through such an experience. How about this? We'll refund you all the money that you've paid for these few days of accommodation. Just take it as compensation from our party."
Leah looked at him and smiled. "Nah, it's not an easy task to run a hotel. Since you've already fired the person who made the mistake, it's only natural for me not to press the issue."
After saying that, she closed her trunk. "I'll take my leave first. I still have to attend a meeting at noon."
Dennis smiled and gave off a polite smile. "Alright."
As Leah drove away, Dennis' expression dimmed instantly, and the corners of his lips twitched and curled upward, giving off a trace of coldness.
Back at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...
Leah sat at her desk, thinking about what had happened in the hotel, and could not help but feel that something just did not make sense.
'It stands to reason that the hotel's surveillance footage can be accessed from the front desk, so why did the staff claim that they had no right to go through the footage?
"And Mr. Clarke is actually the hotel's owner. However, when something like that happens, how is his first reaction not to get to the bottom of the incident but to fire the employee who committed the mistake? Isn't that a little too hasty?'
She glanced at the female interpreter sitting next to her and asked out of the blue, "Do you know Mr. Clarke well?"
The female interpreter was startled for a moment, then turned to look at her. "Dennis? That young tycoon? Everyone in our department knows him quite well."
"Young tycoon?"
"Yeah, I heard that his family is quite rich, as they own a hotel business. I heard that he's able to work here in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of his family too." The female interpreter supported her chin. with one hand and chuckled. "But Dennis is quite a humorous person, so I think he's on the top of the Prince Charming list of quite many female employees in our department. Are you asking me about him because you've also fallen for him?"
The corners of Leah's lips twitched, and she shook her head. "That's not it."
"But since you've brought this topic up, I do find it strange sometimes. He's such an excellent man, and he's already 32 years old, and yet he's still not married. He doesn't even have a girlfriend." The female. interpreter shook her head. "I sometimes wonder if he's gay."
Leah did not say anything.
'An excellent but unmarried man must have his own plans in life. However, thinking of what Morrison said and what happened in the hotel last night..."
She could not help but feel that she must have missed some crucial piece of information.
In the afternoon, Leah called Morrison, but he did not answer.
She wondered.
'Is he really mad at me?"
Just as Leah put her cell phone away and walked past the lounge, she saw a woman with messy hair coming out of the lounge.
The woman was in such a hurry that she bumped into Leah, but she immediately straightened her attire and left the scene.
