Chapter 2 It's Him!

Upon hearing that, grim-faced Blaze instantly stood up and ordered, "Oh, dear! Hurry up and come with me to welcome our distinguished guest! Now!"

Within moments, all the management staff in the meeting room stood up and followed the general manager out of the office, heading towards the elevator to go downstairs.

Elizabeth was at the back, and as soon as she entered the elevator, the overloaded alarm went off.

In his rush, Blaze waved at her. "Ms. Hubbard, take the next one."

Elizabeth nodded and stepped out of the elevator.

She waited for another three or four minutes before entering the next elevator. As she stepped into it, her cell phone rang from her pocket.

It was Dalia Bender, a waiter from the housekeeping department, sending a picture that was clearly taken secretly.

Dalia: "Our Mr. Mysterious is super gorgeous. Ms. Hubbard, hurry up and come down!"

Elizabeth chuckled. She then casually zoomed in on the picture. With a single glance, she felt all the blood in her body congeal, and her face instantly turned pale.

How could that be?

It was him!

It had been two years, and the memory that she had desperately tried to forget surged back like a flood, completely drowning her thoughts.

Two years ago, in order to save her younger brother, Elizabeth-who was still a college student at that time-worked at a nightclub, where she met the man who offered her money in exchange for sleeping with him.

Although she knew that her actions were very despicable, her brother needed a kidney transplant, so she didn't have a second choice.

He was very generous, and it didn't take long for her to collect the money she needed. With the money, her brother underwent a transplant. Later, she finished her university studies and found a job in this hotel.

She had believed that two years were enough for her to move on since there wouldn't be any further interactions between them. She had hoped to forget about the dark time, acting as if nothing had happened and pretending that she was still who she used to be.

However, she could never have imagined that, two years later, he would reappear in her world in such a way.

Elizabeth was still immersed in shock and unease when with a ding-dong, the elevator reached the first floor of the hotel lobby. The elevator door slid open and Elizabeth saw her manager with a flattering look ready to escort the legendary guest to enter the elevator.

Behind them, a group of management staff followed, those who had just accompanied the general manager downstairs to welcome him.

At that moment, Elizabeth felt as if she had stopped breathing. Her face went pale with helplessness as she stood frozen, too shocked to move forward, yet with no way to retreat.

"Mr. Marquez, please come in. Your room is ready and the housekeeper I arranged for you is also the best steward in our hotel. Rest assured, we will do our best to provide you with the best services during your stay in Swynwick," Blaze said, focusing entirely on the figure beside him. He didn't even notice that Elizabeth was still standing inside the elevator as he tried to lead the way.

The man didn't react. He lifted his gaze lazily, his calm and deep eyes suddenly locking into Elizabeth.
