Chapter 12

Aleta kicked the door in front of her and startled the two women in the restroom. The two Blue Moon Hotel employees had just been gossiping about Aleta and Dave's relationship. They were so shocked that they forgot to turn off the sink faucet that was running water.

Aleta walked over and stopped right in front of them. You can imagine how shocked the people were when they saw the presence of the person who was the main character in their conversation.

"Why did you stop? Let's continue, I want to hear about me from both of your perspectives," Aleta said.

The women glanced at each other and remained silent. It was obvious they were both hiding a sense of dread at the moment.

Aleta then shook her head slowly as she said, "Arrkhh you guys, so pathetic. I'm giving you the opportunity to speak in front of me directly, so that when you lie I can add another lie."

It seemed like the women realized that their position was being threatened. Therefore, they hurriedly grabbed Aleta's hand and tried to apologize.

"Sorry, Miss. Please forgive us. We didn't know you were in there. We accidentally talked about your and Mr. Dave's relationship."

"Yes, please forgive us."

Aleta brushed off their hands, releasing their grip gently.

"Hey, come on, why do you have to apologize. Relax, it's your last day working here, right?" Aleta said casually. Very casual like someone who was chatting about the weather forecast.

"What? No... don't be like that, Miss. We beg you!"

"Please forgive us, we really didn't mean to talk about you and Mr. Dave."

Aleta wanted to laugh inwardly. How could she behave like this to someone else. Having power turned out to be quite exciting.

"Gosh, you don't even know my name. But you dare to talk about my relationship with Dave. I don't know your names either, but I know both of your faces by heart. So, I'm going to ask Dave aka my boyfriend to fire you guys. It's a shame that an ordinary person like me would beat you who are clearly prettier," Aleta explained at length.

I don't know when Aleta became so good at acting. But Aleta found it amusing and pleased to see the expressions on the women's faces.

"What? No, Miss. Please forgive us. We will do anything for you. Please don't let us get fired."

"Please, Miss. We really need this job."

Looking at the faces of these women, Aleta felt sorry for them. But a mistake would still be a mistake if it wasn't punished properly. Besides, because of this drama scene, Aleta had an idea to get out of the restroom without the bodyguards knowing.

"Heeem, alright. If that's what you want. Are you sure you will do whatever I ask?" Aleta asked.

The women nodded quickly. A sign that they were sure of what they were saying.

Aleta smiled slyly as she looked at the two female employees. Yes... the first day of finding the truth about her parents' death would begin now.

***

Aleta confidently stepped out of the restroom and passed her bodyguards. The girl was holding back laughter right now. It was funny, the men couldn't recognize Aleta. Aleta had switched the clothes she was wearing with the women in the restroom. She used the women's sunglasses and accessories. And for some reason since the incident with Dave that night, Aleta felt the need to disguise her body odor with the women's perfume.

"This is good, they don't recognize me at all. I can walk around at will in this hotel," Aleta said.

Aleta hurriedly walked away from the toilet. She entered the elevator and carelessly pressed the floor number button. Aleta didn't know where she was going, but she just wanted to wander around for now.

After exiting the elevator, the girl came to a corridor with many doors on the left and right sides. There was nothing unusual. There were only a few janitors who seemed to be passing by and carrying some equipment.

Finding nothing interesting, Aleta went back into the elevator and headed to another floor. And the result was the same. Nothing caught her eye. Aleta did the same thing 5 times, until she got nothing. Everything was the same. A corridor with many doors, a few hotel guests, and a busy but relaxed hotel maid.

So, Aleta thought... maybe she should start with the top floor. The girl would try her luck and try to visit the top floor.

While on the other hand, Dave was furious with the bodyguards who were ordered to guard Aleta.

"I told you to keep a close eye on that girl. You two men with monster-sized bodies can be fooled by a girl who can't even smell the stench of blood. I can't believe you guys are so useless!" Dave snapped at his men.

And in the room, there were not only Dave's men. The two female employees who had been gossiping in the toilet earlier, were also dragged into this case.

"And you two! What really happened. Tell me exactly why each of you used Aleta's clothes!" Dave said.

The women were scared again. Even more scared than when they faced Aleta.

"Forgive us, Mr. Dave. This is all because your girlfriend asked for it. He asked us to change our clothes and distract the bodyguards."

"That's right, Mr. Dave. Your girlfriend threatened to get you to fire us if we didn't comply."

Dave frowned. He was surprised by the statements made by his employees.

"Girlfriend? So Aleta said she was my girlfriend?" Dave asked again.

"Yes, she did. Isn't that lady your girlfriend? Aaah, or is she making it up? If so, we are willing to reprimand her for your sake. And also..."

"Aleta's not lying!" interrupted Dave.

Dave had no idea what this meant. A brief introduction, a purpose, and a plan he had never thought of. Aleta was a stranger who would now be under his supervision. He didn't know why, even though he had no connection to Aleta. Dave did not resent the fact that Aleta claimed to be his girlfriend.

"She is my girlfriend and you are innocent. Because whatever my girlfriend wants, she should get," Dave said firmly with a sly smile.
