Chapter 18

작가: Silly Milly
Iris had planned to visit Hillary and bid her farewell, but the maids had told her that Hillary had gone uphill to pray at the church.

The air felt cool and damp when Iris stepped through the gate. Rain began to fall soon after. She had not brought an umbrella, and she had even less desire to return to the Sinclairs to borrow one. She chose to run toward the nearest road instead.

She slipped and fell.

Her palms still throbbed from the earlier punishment. As she hit the ground, the rough, cold

    Once she recognized the voice, Iris honestly did not want to turn around. A guest was still a guest, though, and she was on duty.In the end, she turned back with a faint, professional smile.Josh and his group climbed out of their sports cars, tossed their keys to the door attendant, and walked straight toward her. Their gazes swept over her from head to toe, again and again.Someone laughed and teased, "Iris, we really underestimated you before. No wonder Alfred kept you hidden all these years. Who would have thought your figure was this good? How is anyone supposed to handle that uniform?""Isn't Freddy into uniforms?" another chimed in. "Have you ever seen a formal uniform like this?"As they talked, they nudged Josh forward.Josh raised a brow. "No."Iris pressed her lips together and forced herself to stay calm."If you gentlemen don't have anything else, I'll be on my way," she said evenly. "The door attendant will escort you inside."She turned to leave, which only irr

    "The overseas clients have all checked in. Miss McGuire handled everything very well. They are all very satisfied. However, Mr. Alfred also came today, and what happened in the lobby earlier…"Kieran's pen paused mid-signature. He lifted his eyes and looked at Sylvain.Sylvain straightened at once. "Understood."At that moment, Iris knocked and entered.Sylvain took the cue and withdrew from the study.Iris set the cup down with care, her movements a little stiff. It was her first time handling this kind of client on her own."Mr. Sinclair, your coffee."In the workplace, one did not casually claim family ties. At least that much, she knew.Kieran closed the file and leaned back in his chair. Sunlight filtered through the trees outside the window and fell across him, outlining his striking features."Not stuttering anymore?" he asked lightly.He lifted his gaze. In those cool, unreadable eyes lay a deep, ink-dark calm that made Iris feel as though there were no place to hide.

    Iris and Florence exchanged a look, then both turned toward the walkie-talkie on the table.'Dead… No wonder the security team never confirmed the client escort,' Iris thought bitterly.Iris pretended she had not heard the cough behind her. She steadied herself and rushed to smooth over what she had just said. "Maybe… Maybe he just wants to focus on work and not be disturbed."Florence looked as if she were about to cry, but she nodded eagerly and jumped in. "Yes, yes. Clients like that really have it hard."Only then did Iris turn around with a professional smile.The moment she saw who it was, her head spun. The smile froze and nearly cracked. "Mr. Kieran… welcome."It was Kieran. Dressed in a black suit, tall and refined, he stood amid the antique-style landscaping, calm and composed, like a figure stepped out of a painting.Tree shadows swayed behind him. The cold air thinned the faint white mist at his lips and revealed a pair of deep, icy black eyes.By the time his gaze

    'Sales Department, Heather McNamara. Interesting,' Regina thought.That woman had not spoken up for Iris at all. Instead, she subtly implied that Iris was unprofessional and prone to bringing personal emotions into her work.If said in private, it would amount to little more than idle complaining. Said in front of Alfred, though, it could be taken seriously enough to justify a demotion.It seemed Regina was not the only one who wanted Iris gone.When neither of them stopped her, Heather continued, "On the way here, the moment we mentioned Iris' ex-boyfriend, her eyes filled with tears. It affected her more than being called the daughter of a murderer. She used to brag about that mysterious boyfriend in front of all of us. No wonder she's so miserable now. I just hope she doesn't let it affect her work."On the surface, Heather sounded regretful. In truth, she painted Iris as a hopeless romantic ruled by emotion. She was certain Alfred would begin to doubt Iris' professionalism.W

    The moment Iris heard that the client was about to arrive, she no longer had the luxury of feeling upset. She rubbed her numb arm and hurried downstairs to change clothes.With Regina now her superior, Iris could not afford a single careless move.While she was changing, her phone rang. Florence was calling.Florence worked in housekeeping, so she had not been in the lobby earlier.The call connected, and Florence sounded breathless with panic. "Riri! I just heard over the headset that someone brought a dagger into the lobby and tried to kill you. I'm coming to find you right now!""I'm fine. Everyone's fine."Including that man. Alfred would never allow this matter to spiral out of control.Even though he was only the resort's vice president, the resort operated under his and Hillary's names. No matter how much he doted on Regina, he would never gamble with himself or with the family's reputation. That was exactly why Iris had deliberately magnified the severity of the incident

    His voice echoed through the lobby like a curse. The sound alone was enough to make people uneasy.Iris lowered her eyes slightly. Her voice turned cold. "If you are truly one of the victims back then, state your name. Tell me which McGuire family project you were involved in, the one filed with the police. How much did you invest?"The man froze, clearly caught off guard.Iris stepped closer. "You do know that the police spent months investigating the McGuire family case, don't you? Every detail is on record. From a few thousand to millions, every victim signed personally. So who are you?""I… I…" The man stammered and could not finish a sentence.At that point, Iris no longer had any doubts. He was not a victim in the McGuire family case at all. As for who he really was, a little more pressure would force the truth out.She continued in an even tone, "You are now suspected of attempted murder. You do not seriously think a couple of threats will scare me into dropping this, do y
