Chapter 11

"What?" shrieked Aleta. The girl was a little surprised by Dave's answer.

The girl's mind began to wander. How could anyone have a fetish that involved pouring a full bottle of perfume all over her body. This is crazy!

"Oh my, does that mean you're a perverted asshole who has a fetish for a bottle of perfume?" Aleta guessed in a very excited voice.

"Hey, keep your voice down!" protested Dave while smothering Aleta's mouth.

Damn it, what kind of excuse did Dave just say. He glanced at his men who were currently driving. The man currently driving the car must have heard everything. And it was embarrassing.

Aleta removed Dave's hand from her mouth.

"You have nothing to be ashamed of, I was just wondering. But you're lucky, I didn't just save you from death. I also saved you from the police. Imagine if I reported you to the police for your perverted behavior in a narrow alley to me," Aleta explained.

"Yes... thank you very much!" said Dave irritably.

Dave's good name was ruined in front of this girl.

Aleta's focus was slightly distracted by this conversation. She forgot her real destination when she got into the car.

But a while later, they finally arrived at the Blue Moon hotel. And in the end, Aleta began to feel the cold, as well as the trembling in her body. That... was the last place, the place where Aleta's parents had died in the massacre.

"Come down quickly," Dave ordered.

"I'll be right down. But it looks like I have to check my luggage a bit. Can you wait outside for a moment? Sorry that I dared to give you orders, Mr. Dave," Aleta said. She smiled so sweetly.

But unfortunately, that smile didn't fool Dave. Although the face seemed to be smiling, Dave could see Aleta's trembling hands. Dave didn't want to ask her anything. All he did was get out of the car and finally left Aleta alone for a while.

Aleta sighed alone in the car. She let everyone wait for her outside. A large multi-storey building with a modern classic style was now on display in front of Aleta.

The girl didn't know if she could face this. But she was determined. There must be no more trauma. Aleta just had to find out the exact cause of her parents' death.

"Alright, I'm ready!" Aleta opened the car door and approached Dave who was waiting for her.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting," Aleta told him.

"Never mind... let's go!" Dave said casually.

Dave took Aleta into the hotel followed by several bodyguards. The arrival of the man gave off a different aura. Everyone bowed to Dave. Not because they were scared, but because they were reluctant to see the man. They barely dared to even say hello.

However, something was a little different this time. Aleta's presence beside Dave really made people wonder. Who was this ordinary girl who dared to walk beside Dave instead of behind him.

The stares from people who felt like killing her made Aleta uncomfortable.

"Just relax," Dave whispered to Aleta, as if he knew what was going through her mind.

Aleta didn't know where to start, but as she started to go further into the hotel, she remembered something.

"Dave... can I go to the restroom for a minute?" she asked.

"Toilet?"

"Yes, the toilet. Come on, I can't take it anymore," Aleta said with a pleading face.

"Yes, okay, two bodyguards will follow you and bring you back when you're done," Davian said.

"What? I just went to the toilet. Not running away. You should have..." Aleta realized that she couldn't make any changes despite her long talk. Dave just looked at her sharply and was definitely not listening to Aleta. So... futile.

"Alright, I give up," Aleta said in a very weary tone of voice.

"Okay, hurry up and leave," Dave ordered.

Aleta left in a huff with the two big men behind her. This was the first time she was treated like a king's daughter who had to be escorted just to go to the toilet. Frankly, it was annoying.

"You guys wait here!" Aleta said to the two men escorting her.

"We can't, we have to ensure your safety!"

"Are you out of your mind? This is the women's restroom. Seriously, you'll be mistaken for perverts. Wait here until I'm done!" Aleta ordered again with great annoyance.

Aleta entered the restroom and just stayed there. It was a little annoying, Aleta had to think hard. How could she escape the escort of those people, and explore the Blue moon Hotel alone.

It wasn't without reason that Aleta did all this. The problem was, Aleta still didn't know what would happen at this hotel. The massacre that took place a few years ago in this place is something sensitive, so Aleta might have to keep her identity as the child of one of the victims a secret.

But... how could she start if she couldn't even go to the toilet alone.

Just as the girl was deep in thought, Aleta heard the sound of a door opening as well as some footsteps entering the place. And apparently... there were gossips that she was forced to hear at the moment.

"Did you see that? Mr. Dave came in with a girl. And that girl was walking beside Mr. Dave shamelessly."

"Aaarkh, I was wondering too. But who is that girl? She can't be Mr. Dave's girlfriend. The girl looks very ordinary. Maybe she is Mr. Dave's relative."

"That makes even less sense. You know that Mr. Dave is of noble blood. How could his relatives look like that."

"Yes, you're right, I don't know, I'm really jealous. Mr. Dave seems to be protecting that girl."

"I bet, that girl must have magic that makes Mr. Dave blind."

Aleta listened intently, a conversation that involved her. It felt really great. Being gossiped about by the employees for having a scandal with their boss.

The girl had no idea that Dave had so much influence in this hotel. Aleta was upset because she was considered a mediocre girl and not worthy to be with Dave. Although in reality, Aleta was self-aware. She was not a special girl and not Dave's girlfriend. But hearing herself so belittled, Aleta felt unacceptable.

"Hiishh, these girls. What role should I take? Should I be a helpless weak woman who can only accept fate?" Aleta asked herself.

"Whoa, how is that possible? Aleta is not that kind of person. I guess it won't hurt if I take advantage of Dave's power over his gossipy employees," Aleta thought.
