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.

    The moment Elizabeth met his gaze, a cold sweat broke out across her skin as if her heart had stopped beating.It was him. It was really him, the man who saved her brother's life two years ago, and also the man to who she lost her virginity."So she's the housekeeper you referred to?" He said in a low yet extremely magnetic voice.His gaze had already moved away from Elizabeth, and the expression on his face seemed to not have changed in the slightest.'Maybe he didn't recognize me at all?' Elizabeth hoped so.Blaze immediately turned to look at the elevator and saw Elizabeth standing there in a daze. He immediately made the introduction."Mr. Marquez, this is the manager of the housekeeping department, Elizabeth.""Ms. Hubbard, this is our distinguished guest, Mr. Marquez, who comes from the distant Lochapple. It's our great honor to have Mr. Marquez here." Even when Blaze was introducing him to Elizabeth, he did not forget to flatter Ronald.Speaking of Lochapple, he seemed to have

    The main hall of the presidential suite was covered with a thick cashmere carpet imported from New Zealand. Handmade with care, it felt soft and plush underfoot as if one was stepping on clouds.However, given the circumstances, even if Elizabeth really stepped on the clouds, she wouldn't have enjoyed it.Ronald walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. Elizabeth followed beside him and wanted to speak, but she did not know what to say.She wasn't even sure if Ronald had recognized her or not.If he hadn't remembered her from the start, then her current awkward silence would only seem absurd."Um...Mr. Marquez, what would you like for dinner?' she asked, forcing a smile. 'We've prepared a menu for you, and I'll show it to you now."Although she did not wanna be his housekeeper, she had to carry out her duties now that the situation had already forced her into the position.She turned around and walked over to the bookshelf. Then she took down a menu they had prepared beforehand and

    In the evening, Ronald and Oliver left the hotel for the banquet. When Elizabeth returned back to her office, she heard people whispering among themselves."Do you know? Mr. Marquez's background is incredible. He's the boss behind the biggest consortium in our country and the leader of the Imperial Group.""Really? No wonder Mr. Booth is so nervous. Many big shots had come here, but I had never seen him so cautious like this.""How can he not be cautious? No one before has such an identity. I really envy Ms. Hubbard. She can Mr. Marquez! Since Ms. Hubbard is so beautiful, could it be that she is lucky and Mr. Marquez gets his eye on her, and directly takes her back to be his wife?""Don't talk nonsense. If that housekeeping girl heard it, she would blame you. Her position as the housekeeper was taken away. You can't imagine how jealous she is now."They were whispering to each other, and neither of them noticed that there was a figure approaching them from the other side."You have no

    Elizabeth looked at her phone, she was stunned for half a second before she quickly stood up and went downstairs.The Wildecastle Club was the highest-class private club in Swynwick. Although Elizabeth had never been here before, as a hotel employee, she knew its reputation.Money alone couldn't buy admission to such a high-end club. Those members were highly privileged.It was not strange for such a big shot like Ronald to appear in this place.'But why did he ask me to come here?' thought Elizabeth.Filled with doubts, she got out of the car and headed for the lobby.When she was at the door, she was stopped by security guards."Sorry, ma'am. This is a private club, so only VIP members can enter."After Elizabeth heard this, she realized that she was still wearing the uniform of the hotel. It would be difficult to enter if she just dressed like this.Just as she was thinking about how to deal with the two security guards, she saw Oliver walking out from inside.'I invited her over.

    "Stop..." She cried out in fear. While she was struggling, more than half of the collar of her shirt had been torn off by his other hand. Her clothes were instantly torn to shreds, causing her to feel both embarrassed and scared.Yet it seemed that he couldn't hear her voice.He only stopped when he was finally exhausted.Elizabeth didn't know how long the entire process had lasted. When he finally let her go and turned around to sleep soundly, she only felt as if she had been crushed by a heavy machine, and the pain was unbearable to endure.Tears had dried on her face, forming tear stains. After the panic, she turned her head to glance at the sleeping man beside her. Under the dim light, Ronald scarcely looked as indifferent as usual, and his facial features had become much gentler.Yet even so, she was afraid of him.After getting up and putting on the clothes that he had ripped off, she resisted the discomfort and stumbled out of the room.When Oliver brought the doctor back to th

    After Elizabeth left, she did not return to the hotel but went straight back to the single apartment she rented.The first thing she did after entering the door was put in a large tub of warm water and soak herself in it. She tried to use the tub of water to ease the pain in her body.Closing her eyes, she could think of nothing but Ronald.She clearly remembered their first time, second time, third time ... until this time tonight, as though she were watching a movie.Although she didn't understand why he would be so crazy tonight, it was obvious that he had lost all sense of reason.'Was it because he was drunk?' Elizabeth wondered.'No, it couldn't be,' Elizabeth soon rejected her own theory. 'If he had been really wasted, he wouldn't have been able to do such a horrible thing. Even though I was at his service back then, he was still concerned about how I felt and tried his best to be gentle. Yet tonight... he was a total beast, wishing for nothing more than to eat me alive. That w

    Hearing this, Blaze paused to think before he said, "It's tricky. The thing is, if I change you now, I'm afraid it would be hard to give Mr. Marquez an explanation."Elizabeth could tell that Blaze wavered, so she hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquez, that's not a problem. After all, Giana is more professional than me. Since Mr. Marquez is willing to accept me, he'll definitely be OK with Giana."Blaze hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, then go through the transfer formalities with Giana, and give her the relevant information about Mr. Marquez, so that she can replace you. You may go back to your office after that.""Thank you, Mr. Booth." Receiving the permission to change shifts, Elizabeth heaved a sigh of relief, and even her tone became lighter.Standing up, she thanked Blaze and went out."Remember to explain the situation to Mr. Marquez. Don't let him think that we are the ones who decide it on our own." Blaze reminded her from behind.'Well, I surely won't tell him that I'm

    "Ms. Hubbard, he insulted me!" When Dalia saw Elizabeth, she immediately walked over and complained."Damn it. I like you, so I asked you to drink with me. What took you so long?" The drunk male customer shouted while lying down on the sofa with a bottle of whisky in his hand.Seeing that, Elizabeth reached out her hand and pulled Dalia behind her. She patted her shoulder, comforted her, and then turned to look at the drunk customer."Sir, you're drunk. Lie down and rest, please. Please don't drink anymore.""What? I'm not drunk. Come over here and lie down with me." As the man spoke, he suddenly sat up straight and reached out to grab Elizabeth's wrist.When he grabbed her wrist, a disgusting feeling suddenly arose in Elizabeth's heart. She forcefully tried to escape, and warned him, "Sir, please let me go.""If I refuse, what can you do to me?" Squinting, the male guest said in an extremely arrogant tone.Dalia realized that it didn't look good, so she immediately said, "Elizabeth,

How did Elizabeth become his girlfriend?Jayden turned his eyes. Although he still had a calm expression, his eyes were sharp, "Your way of treating guests has truly broadened my horizons. It seems like I have come to a wrong place."With that, he pulled Elizabeth's hand and was about to leave.At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from the door. With an obsequious smile on his face, he apologized, "Well, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. Mr. Marquez, please don't be angry.

    In the afternoon, Alondra invited Elizabeth out for a coffee. Elizabeth told her about Ainsley inviting her to participate in the engagement ceremony.When Alondra heard the news, she immediately said. "Don't go. Don't go! She must be planning something." "But I want to see my mother." Elizabeth said.Hearing this, Alondra let out a heavy sigh, "This Ainsley is a bitch. She knew that you would definitely not go if she invites you directly, so she just took your mother as a gimmick. If she was my mom who abandoned me, I wouldn't even want to go see her.""She has cancer. I don't know how long she'll live." This was also the reason why she was so eager to see her."Nah, how could Ainsley's words be trusted? She must be lying to you." Alondra said without even thinking."What if it's true?""Alright." Alondra did not say anything. She only used a straw to stir the drink in front of her, and looked towards the two tallest buildings constructed side by side in the center of the city outsid

Elizabeth had already recovered from the shock. She picked up her phone and dialed Ronald's number.The phone rang for a long time before someone answered, but the one who spoke was not Ronald."Elizabeth, how is it? Did you get the gifts? Isn't it a surprise? "Oliver's excited voice came out from the phone."Um, where is Ronald?" Elizabeth asked."CEO is seeing an important guest right now, so he doesn't have time to answer the phone right now." Oliver said."Then do you know why he suddenly gave me so many precious gifts?""Didn't you want to go to your friend's engagement ceremony? So, CEO specifically told me to prepare these things for you.""..." How did he know she was going to the engagement ceremony?"Elizabeth, I'm a bit busy ri

    At two in the afternoon, Elizabeth punctually appeared at the Gardner Garden Cafe that Ainsley mentioned.Looking around, there was no sign of her."Miss, how many of you?" The waiter came up to greet her."I'm not sure yet. It might be two people." She was not sure if Ainsley only asks her out, or if Brogan would come along with her."Alright, I'll first bring you to find a seat to sit at." The waiter said as he led her to a seat for four near the window.Elizabeth ordered a cup of coffee and then looked at the time. From the time they had agreed upon two o'clock, five minutes had already passed.When the coffee was served, she took two sips and saw Ainsley walking in elegantly from outside. She was dressed in a high-end dress, wore a pair of sunglasses, stepped on high heels, and swayed through the door.Behind her followed a woman in her thirties. The two of them, one in front and one behind, were like celebrities and assistants.The moment Ainsley entered, she saw Elizabeth, who w

    Lifting her head, she saw Brogan's angry, handsome face."Excuse me." She lowered her head, not looking at his face, trying to walk past him."Why did you come back?" Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist. His voice was filled with anger as he asked.Elizabeth struggled a little, only to realize that she was unable to fight back with her own strength. So she said, "Please let go.""I'm asking you why you came back!" He pulled her toward him. His big, bright eyes glared at her with obvious fury, as if he might swallow her in the next second."What do you mean? Can't I come back? "She mustered her courage and looked up into his eyes.She didn't owe him anything, so why should she be afraid of him?"It seems that I still underestimated the degree of your shamelessness. However, a woman like you, who can even treat love as a business, would definitely not care about the gazes of others. "Brogan laughed coldly.His words were like a thorn, fiercely piercing into Elizabeth's heart.Strangely, she

    Elizabeth raised her head and looked towards the origin of the voice. She noticed that the woman who said these words looked familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen her before."You don't recognize her, do you? She's Avery Graves. "Alondra whispered into her ear.Elizabeth heard and frowned, "Avery? I remember she didn't look like that.""Sure, she did a cosmetic surgery. Can't you tell?" Alondra said in a low voice."..." So it was like this. No wonder she could not recognize her.When Avery saw they whispering to each other, she could not help but become even angrier, "What are you two talking about? If you have something to say, say it out.""Nothing. It's just that you've changed so much that Elizabeth couldn't recognize you, so she just asked me." Alondra said snappily."Alondra, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I've changed so much? What do you want to say?

    "I'm afraid he doesn't have the time." Elizabeth was a little hesitant. After all, a busy person like Ronald must have a lot of things to do in the company. How could he possibly have time to go home and eat?Dulce advised from the side, "Even if Mr. Marquez does not have time to come back to eat, he should be very happy to be able to receive Miss's call.""Is that so?" Elizabeth thought for a while, then picked up her phone and called Ronald.The phone was picked up after ringing for a long time. Ronald's low voice came from the other side of the phone, "What is it?""Um... I wanted to ask if you are coming back for lunch. Dulce and I made your favorite fish..." Elizabeth carefully probed.The other side of the phone went silent. Elizabeth thought that her sudden phone call had disturbed him, so she hurriedly continued, "If you don't have time, then it's fine. We can eat by ourselves...""Half an hour." Ronald said."Huh?"
