Sherly clicked her tongue, "I just came in last night, right after you got home."
"Why all of a sudden, ma'am?" Claire said in surprise.
"Yeah, I don't know, he basically brought a big group and booked all the parts in the Cleveland area."
Claire gaped.
She immediately sat down in her chair and opened the information screen. The area in question was the area with the most complete facilities in the resort and of course the prices were the highest.
"Crazy. He must be really rich to have booked the whole area. How could he have paid for it all again?" Claire stared at the screen in disbelief.
Sherly nodded with a smile on her face, "Are you in charge of the welcome event?"
"Why me, ma'am? Wouldn't you do it if you had such a big client?" Claire asked in surprise.
"Just you this time, I have business outside the resort for a few days," Sherly said.
Claire sighed.
"Don't stress too much about looking like that! There's an extra bonus," Sherly said.
Claire, who was originally weak, immediately became enthusiastic.
"How much is the bonus, ma'am?"
"A salary, how about that?"
Claire's eyes widened, "Are you serious, ma'am?"
"Yes, Claire. When have I ever joked about anything like this?" the forty-two year old woman replied.
Claire smiled, "Ready then."
Shirley nodded, "Okay. Do it right, okay?"
"Okay, ma'am."
"According to the information, he will arrive in about four hours," Shirley said.
Claire got up immediately and hurriedly prepared the welcome ceremony.
Meanwhile, at the international airport, Felix looked reluctant to go to the car that was waiting for him.
"Can't you put on a face that's pleasing to the eye?" Helen said, Felix's older sister, holding her daughter in her arms.
Hearing this, Felix just put on a stiff smile.
"God, you're so scary, Felix!" Helen said, already exasperated.
Felix ignored her sister and got into his own car, while Helen got into another car.
"Sir, is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?" Andrew asked, who was still driving.
"This country," Felix replied.
Andrew grimaced and understood immediately. "That ... was several years ago, sir."
Felix looked forward, "You know, I don't like to lose, An. Not being able to find this woman is a defeat and I can't accept it."
Andrew didn't know what else to say. He understood his master's anger very well. But he had no way to help him.
"But maybe you can find another woman who is more ...."
"What's sexier? Great in bed? That's a lot. There are many in England, but this woman is different. Only with her do I feel ...." Felix didn't continue because he felt that it was useless to discuss it.
No results. So he decided to look out of the window on the way to the resort where his extended family would be vacationing.
He was actually very upset that his extended family had chosen Canada as their vacation spot.
However, he couldn't resist his sister's wishes and so continued to provide facilities for them.
On the other hand, Claire was very busy preparing for the welcoming ceremony at the resort.
“Uh, change those flowers, Lea! Put some fresher flowers!” Claire said.
He checked again, “Josh, put that table over there.”
“Oh, yes. Ask kitchen 2 to get ready, they'll be here in about two hours,” Claire said after glancing at her watch.
All the staff listened to Claire's orders and did as they were asked because Claire was known as an assistant manager who was quite reliable and had never disappointed a client.
“That's already okay. Now, the rest, please check again, what is still missing,” Claire said again.
“Yes, ma'am,” all the staff replied in the section of the room that would be used as the first place the British guests would gather before they would be escorted to Cleveland.
Claire started to get nervous, “Thirty more minutes, guys.”
“Already, ma'am.”
“Okay, now get ready, tidy yourselves up!” Claire commanded again.
In a hurry they split up. Claire herself also went to the bathroom and applied a little more make-up before going to the lobby. Some of her staff had dressed up neatly and were standing resolutely.
“Huh, finally,” Claire said.
“Ten more minutes,” Claire said again.
And exactly ten minutes later, the group of six cars arrived.
Claire held her breath and tried to relax her jaw muscles, putting on the friendliest smile possible for the guests her manager had told her were special.
Some of the guests began to get out of the cars and walk towards her. Claire still did not raise her face as she was still trying to shake off her nerves.
After a few steps, Claire lifted her face and smiled and said as she handed over the bouquet of flowers, “Welcome to The Himalaya Resort.”
However, as she looked at the guest's face, she froze.
This man?
Gosh, no way.
How could he be here?
Claire still vividly remembered that face even though she had only seen it with her eyes closed.
What's more, the color of the man's eyes was exactly the same as that of Sean, her son.
Claire's legs went limp. Her eyes remained glued to the strange man until they didn't blink at all.
Her brain was suddenly filled with questions that made her feel suffocated.What exactly was he doing here?
What was his purpose in coming?
Did he know anything?
Did he know about Sean?
However, how could that be? Where would he know?
He didn't.
She wouldn't let him know about her son.
Felix himself was also very surprised to see the woman who had been haunting his dreams in that place.
He couldn't forget that face. He couldn't be wrong.
The woman standing in front of him was the same woman who had been keeping him up at night for the past few years.
Her face was always in his mind along with what they had done on that night.
“Miss, are you not going to give me that flower?” Felix asked with a piercing look.
Stuttering, Claire let the strange man take the bouquet of flowers but she herself was still stunned. No, Claire. He can't possibly remember you. That was many years ago. This man in front of you is Don Juan. How could he possibly remember one of his prey? You're just thinking too much, Claire. The woman shook her head, trying to convince herself that the strange man had really forgotten about her. Felix cleared his throat quite loudly until Claire finally woke up from her reverie and immediately said, "Sir, come with us!" Felix didn't reply and just stared at Claire flatly, but strangely, Claire knew that the man was waiting for her to show him the way. With mixed hearts, Claire walked in front of Felix, followed by a group of all members of the Homann family. They were directed to a room that had been prepared beforehand. "Please enjoy your time, Sir, Maam." Claire said politely, trying to calm herself down but failing. However, seeing Felix's flat attitude, it seemed that C
Seeing the little boy's ocean blue eyes, Felix felt something strange coming over him. An unfamiliar feeling. Feelings of pity and not having the heart. Suddenly, with just that look, Felix suddenly melted, "Okay, okay. I ... will save him for you." The little boy immediately smiled broadly, showing off his row of neat white teeth. Felix quickly climbed the tree very easily, then freed the kitten that was entangled in the rope and took him down. He handed it to the child. The little boy screamed happily when the furry animal was in his arms. His eyes looked sparkling. Felix smiled unconsciously. He watched the little boy pet the cat with such tenderness that Felix couldn't seem to take his eyes off the little boy. "Cute cat, you're safe. Play happily, okay?" The little boy then let go and the kitten ran away from them. Felix immediately frowned, looking surprised, "Why did you let him go?" “To let him play, Uncle!!" the boy said and he reached out his hand to Felix.Felix rai
“Oh, yes, fine. Please wait. I'll be right there, sir,” Claire said.As soon as Claire hung up the call, several staff were seen waiting for Claire's reaction.However, Jason, who clearly did not have the patience of a dictionary, asked, “How is it, ma'am?Who's calling from Cleveland, ma'am?”The call directed at Claire's line number was a call that clearly came only from the Cleveland building. Others would usually be directed to other lines.“Room number 2.”Jason widened his eyes, “That handsome British guy?”Claire snorted, “All the men in Cleveland's rooms are British, Jason.”Claire did not deny that fact.“Uh, Ms. Claire. I mean the blond guy you gave a bouquet of flowers to earlier. The rich one,” Jason explained.Claire cringed in surprise, “The rich one? What's that nickname again?”Another staff member commented, “Ms. Claire, seriously? Didn't you know that, ma'am? Mr. Felix Homann who rented the Cleveland is really rich, ma'am. Earlier, we did some googling. Do you know,
Claire looked at her friend with a confused look, "What should I do now?" Haruka hurriedly put the hot chocolate on the table and said, "Wait a minute, Claire. Are you ... sure it's him? That man?" Haruka looked even more nervous than Claire. "Yes. It's really him. It's him, Haruka."Claire took a deep breath. The man's shadow suddenly appeared in front of her and beside him was a little boy, her own son in comparison. Suddenly, Claire immediately swallowed nervously, "Blonde hair, blue eyes. He looks a lot like Sean. Oh, no. I mean Sean looks a lot like him." "Oh my God. They are very, very similar, Haruka." Claire looked so weak when she explained this. Now she couldn't think straight anymore.“Claire, remember again. Maybe you have the wrong person, Claire." Caire shook her head, of course she couldn't be mistaken. When it came to physical matters, Sean and elixl were indeed similar. At first she thought that she might have guessed wrong, but after she heard the man mentio
"Don't screw up! Who likes someone just because they met once? In fact, we didn't talk about anything, Haruka," Claire denied.Haruka smirked, "No chatting? Sure?""Yes, I was drunk. How can we talk?" Claire said, that made sense."How about in bed? Did you or did you not make a sound?" Haruka asked.Claire raised one eyebrow, "What do you mean?"Haruka said with a smile, "Oh, Baby. This is so amazing."The girl even made a sighing sound that made Claire's earlobe instantly turn pink."Yes, yes there. I like you, I-"Haruka didn't have time to continue because Claire had thrown her with a pillow. The girl was even a crybaby."Hey, you are. I've been watching a lot of blue movies so far, so good!" Claire was a little upset.Instead of correcting her words, Haruka said, "Seriously, Claire. I'm sure the two of you must have said things like that and it could be that the guy remembered you because of your sexy voice. You-""Uh, wait. I was right.""Claire."Claire was now chasing her frie
Sean, the five-year-old boy immediately looked up at Felix, “Uncle.”With a smile still on his lips, Felix walked over and saw the boy holding several sheets of paper. Sean was sitting cross-legged on the ground full of manicured and clean green grass. “What are you playing?” Felix asked in a tone full of curiosity. “I want to build an airplane, Uncle.”Felix was intrigued, “An airplane? Can you do it?”“Of course, I can.”“Oh yeah? Can you see it?” Felix was even more enthusiastic.Sean nodded slowly but the little boy frowned, as if in doubt.The man sat down on the ground, right in front of the boy. He stared at the boy who had started folding the paper. His attention never strayed from the tiny hands. The more he watched, the funnier he found Sean. And for the first time, he thought that a child was cute.However, after Felix waited for a few minutes, the little boy seemed to fail repeatedly while making it. His calm expression was disturbed to the point where Mikael felt a
Claire tried to control himself and said, “Welcome to the Himalayan Resort, Mrs. Michel.”Christine looked at her granddaughter in surprise as she heard Claire speak formally. But it was because of her own grandmother's words that had excluded her from the Michel family records that it was appropriate for her to address her grandmother as such.Moreover, Christine Michel was currently their guest, so it was only fitting that Claire should do so.Jasmine looked questioningly at her sister, while Ludwig was suddenly silent.“Claire,” Lindsay called.“You work here?” Henry asked.Claire nodded, “Yes. I heard there was a complaint about the Cleveland area. I'm sorry, that area is occupied and cannot be occupied for the next week, it will be available next week.”Christine smiled sarcastically, “Oh, you work here apparently.”“Yes, I do.”Jasmine, who didn't like the situation, said in a lazy tone, “Alright, Gran. Let's just move to another resort.”These words startled Claire.Jasmine? Wh
Felix laughed in exasperation, “You're joking too much, Helen.”Helen replied, “I'm not joking, Felix. You guys are really very similar. If you don't believe me, look at your childhood photos and compare them to Sean.”Helen looked so serious but Felix still didn't take his sister's words seriously.Felix even ignored her.Unfortunately, Helen was still persistent and didn't want to give up so easily.Helen said again, “I'm serious. You'll understand what I mean.”Felix scratched his earlobe, “Hey, I do change women a lot, but I always use safety.”Actually, Felix was a bit annoyed if he had to talk about his sexual activities, even if it was with his own biological sister. However, he didn't want his sister to misunderstand and keep questioning him so he had to explain.“The women I sleep with can't get pregnant because they're always taking medicine. Understand?” Felix continued.Helen laughed dismissively. The mother of one put her arm around her brother.“How can you be so sure? W
And throughout that day, Ludwig really felt like he couldn't concentrate on his own company because his brain was wandering all over the place.He also couldn't focus on some of the projects he was working on until he finally closed the file he had opened. Rather than getting messy, Ludwig chose to postpone working on it."Damn, Ludwig. Ludwig. What the hell did you lose control of yesterday?" he muttered with deep regret.Ludwig Beyer was not a man so chaste that he had never had sex. He wasn't like that.Before dating Claire, Ludwig had had several one-night stands with several women and they had always ended without any problems.However, his habit disappeared when he started liking Claire and thought he would always be faithful to her. Claire made him fall in love and he couldn't look away. He was also convinced to marry the beautiful woman.He never touched another woman until the moment when he had to part with Claire because of the news of the time. A news that made his family
Desta quickly got out of the car with Claire staring at her boss with an astonished look.“What's wrong, sir?” Claire asked.Felix did not answer Claire's question and instead looked at Desta with a displeased look.“Is there a problem?” Now it was Desta who was asking Felix.The 27-year-old man was also neatly dressed and no less cool than Felix. In addition to Desta's charming appearance, Desta's face was also very handsome. In addition, his work is also very good. Felix could also see it from one glance, so Felix was even more annoyed by it.Felix smiled wryly at the man and then spoke, “This is not the area where outsiders go up and down.”“Huh?” Claire was surprised.Desta was still waiting for the man he guessed was Claire's boss to speak further so he could know how to behave.“From now on vehicles that are not guests of this resort are prohibited from entering this area.” Felix said in a cold tone and looked sharply at Desta.Claire, who did not accept her boss's words, said
That same night Jasmine had the items she ordered delivered directly to the address of the apartment she shared with Ludwig.She and Ludwig had been living separately from their parents since they got married. Ludiwg chose this decision because he did not want to be disturbed by Michel's family about his pretend marriage.Jasmine was currently waiting for her husband to come home while drinking her hot chocolate that she had just made. She looked at the clock on the wall and counted down until she heard the door to their apartment open indicating that Jasmine was home.Jasmine remained in the kitchen sipping her drink and it surprised Ludwig to see his wife still awake there.“You're not asleep yet?” Ludwig asked.Jasmine shook her head and raised her glass, indirectly telling Ludwig about her activities.The aroma of hot chocolate soon reached Ludwig's nose and it was also expected by Jasmine. Ludwig loved hot chocolate as much as she did.“Can you make some for me too?” Ludwig aske
Seeing the way Claire looked at him uncomfortably made Felix even more annoyed. “It's not in the contract, but you can't just do whatever you want,” Felix said.Claire was of course even more confused but then Felix, who had already said something he shouldn't have said, said again, “Remember you still have dependents that you haven't resolved with the financial issue.”Claire was surprised when the matter was brought up but because she did not want to add to the problem she could only say, “Yes, sir. I will solve that problem immediately.”She then excused herself and hurried to Sherly's room.“What's wrong with you?” Shirley asked, her former boss who was actually quite friendly with her.“Ma’am, can't I just go back to my original job?” Sherly was wide-eyed, “What do you mean, you want to be an assistant manager again?”“Yes, ma'am.”Sherly clucked her tongue and gave Claire a strange look as she said, “Claire. Don't you know how many people would love to be in your position righ
“Good morning, sir,” the two staff stammered.Felix replied with a nod and soon he was walking faster towards his office.There he already saw Claire setting up his desk.“Good morning, Sir!” Claire greeted as usual but the man strangely did not reply.Claire frowned and started to get a little flustered but he tried to act casual as if Felix was ignoring her.“Would you like some coffee now, sir?” Claire asked.Felix replied, “No.”He walked over to his desk and then sat down for a few minutes but eventually stood back up.Claire watched in surprise.“Andrew, get the car ready!” Felix ordered.Claire was of course surprised by the order but she saw that Andrew said nothing and just did as he was told.What was going on?However, as soon as Andrew walked out of the room, Claire quickly asked, “Sir, are you leaving?”&ldquo
Andrew realized that his employer's calmness was now unmanageable. So, he did not want to remain silent.“What would you like to order me to do, sir?” Andrew asked cautiously.Felix Homann shook his head quickly, “Nothing. I want to try to tease her first without any information about her.”Andrew looked somewhat surprised by Felix's statement which he found quite convincing even though he had only heard the statement that day.“Are you sure, sir? Wouldn't it be better for us to know her family background? That would be of great benefit to you, sir,” Andrew explained.Felix shook his head, “That would complicate things. I told you, I just want to sleep with her.”Andrew couldn't believe it. If it was just about bed needs, he was pretty sure that there were more women who could satisfy Felix in bed.Of course, there was little else to it so Felix put himself aside and focused
Felix waited expectantly. He thought that maybe Andrew's suggestion would hit the mark so that he wouldn't have to struggle to think of a strategy to get Claire into his bed.“Sir, you could ask Ms. Claire to go to the nightclub again,” Andrew said.Felix had never thought of that method after hearing Claire say that she was not a single woman. Felix thought his loyal friend had a brilliant idea but it turned out to be an empty idea that was unlikely to work.“Did you forget that she already rejected me?” Felix asked at last. The man made an annoyed face, as if he had just been reminded of Claire's rejection before he became CEO of the Himalaya Resort.“That was just the first try, sir,” Andrew replied, still trying to encourage his master even though he wasn't too sure himself.“Who knows, the next try might even work. What's more, Ms. Claire already knows who you are and you're the CEO of her place of work. How could she refuse a superior's order?” Andrew said.No, she can't. She'
Sean looked at Felix with his innocent face.Suddenly Felix sensed something strange in the boy's expression.“Tell me, why do you intend to hide from me?” Felix asked.Sean was silent. “Why? Don't you want to tell me? You don't consider me your friend anymore, do you?” Felix really felt so very disappointed and this was again the first time he felt that way.Sean immediately shook his head, “No, Uncle. I consider you as my best friend. It's just that ....”“What's wrong? You can tell me anything,” Felix said, deliberately wanting to make the little boy more open.He didn't want to be seen as a pushover but he really wanted to know what was on Sean's mind.Sean seemed to be hesitating but when he observed the face of an uncle who had often accompanied him to play when he was waiting for his mother to work, he felt safe to tell him.“Won't you tell anyone if I tell you everything?” Sean asked.Without hesitation the man replied, “Of course, sweet boy. I always keep my word. You don't
"What do you have to fear? Even if someone recognizes you, they won't be able to do anything," Felix said.The man was now truly a CEO and not a man pursuing a woman he wanted.Felix Homann was known to be able to separate the world of work and his personal affairs.If he was in a situation where he had to bring out his ability to deal with various problems in his company then it was certain that the man would put his own personal problems aside."Yes, sir." After all, Claire had no choice but to obey the CEO's orders."Let's go in!" Felix called and she quickly followed behind him along with Andrew.Once the stranger had arrived at the lobby, he was immediately greeted by several staff members.This was of course because Felix's appearance was so convincing that he was treated much better than the usual guests."Sir, then please come with us!" a very pretty female staff member said.Claire suspected that the woman was in the same position as she had been because obviously one of the
