Chapter 159

“Listen up everyone, the president of SG Travel Agency is going to inspect our hotel this afternoon. Make sure nothing goes wrong, not even the smallest details, got it?”.

“Understood.”

Hayden just finished his meeting room meeting at the ST Hotel.

The head office had established a long-term partnership with the prestigious SG Travel Agency, everything else was done, what remained was the on-site inspection.

The agency chose Hayden’s hotel for the inspection.

As soon as the inspection was passed, the long-term partnership contract would be signed. Thereafter, all SG Agency clients traveling to N City would stay at the ST hotel.

In the afternoon, under a blazing sun, the hotel management team stood at the door waiting for the inspection team.

A black Bentley appeared. A manager-looking person got out of the passenger seat and opened the back seat door.

Out of the car stepped a pair of five-inch heels with diamonds installed on the side, followed by a pair of long legs. A woman stepped out of the car while holding the door for support.

Her black slacks with loose-fitting suspenders made her look tall. She wore her hair pulled back in a bun, leaving a strip of bangs that fell down the side of her cheek.

With her Bulgari earring and bright red lips, she oozed charisma.

How, such a young woman?

Everyone was surprised.

No one expected the inspector to be so young.

After all, SG was a world-renowned travel agency, and N City was a tourist resort. The woman in front of them was in her late twenties and extremely beautiful. It was hard not to be suspicious.

The general manager of the hotel approached her.

“Are you Addison, the SG President for N City?”.

“It’s me.” The woman removed her sunglasses and flashed a polite smile.

“Call me Duncan. We have everything ready for your arrival. Please come in and take a look around.”

“Very well.” Addison nodded.

“I’ve just been assigned to this place. Although ST Group is prestigious, this is my first contract working as president of the N City branch, I want to make sure of the quality of services my clients receive, so please, I hope you don’t mind if I get a little fussy later.”

“Not at all.” After chatting for a while, manager Duncan and the rest followed Addison to the hotel.

Unsure if she had made a mistake, Hayden felt Addison keep looking at her.

“This establishment is the oldest of all the ST Group hotels. However, the facilities are brand new. The furnishings in this room….”.

“One moment.”

Cutting Director Duncan off, he stopped in the lobby and stared at a vase of flowers on the table. He walked toward it with long strides and asked coldly, “Can someone tell me what’s wrong with this flower?”

Manager Duncan’s face turned somber and he didn’t know what he was referring to.

“This hotel caters to people from all walks of life, especially the blue collar and well-to-do. Didn’t you think of the customers who might have pollen allergies when you put the flower here?” Addison’s face filled with disgust. She looked very disappointed.

“We’ll take care of it right now.” Manager Duncan glared at the manager next to him, “Get rid of all the flowers in this establishment!”

“Wait.” Addison frowned and looked at the manager’s name tag, “You should be clear on your respective responsibilities. This should be taken care of by the room manager, is that him?”.

Manager Duncan was stunned and looked to his side nervously.

Hayden was the room manager that day. However, everyone knew about her relationship with Joseph. Even if it really was her fault, he didn’t want to put his boss’s fiancée on the spot in front of everyone.

“It’s me.” Hayden’s voice emerged from the crowd, “I’m in charge of the room today. It’s also my fault for putting the flower in there.”

Addison turned around and saw Hayden, who was wearing the uniform of a hall attendant.

He stepped out of the crowd with a leisurely pace.

“Hayden… Downey.” Addison read her name tag slowly, “Nice name.”

“Thanks.” Hayden frowned, “I’ll take care of the flowers and make sure it doesn’t happen again. I hope this doesn’t affect your assessment of our hotel.”

“Mistakes can be fixed. But people who always make mistakes are hard to fix.”

Addison took a long look at manager Duncan. “You employ all kinds of people.”

This comment was like a slap in Hayden’s face.

Maybe it was because she had been overprotected for the past few months, she felt wobbly and her face burned.

“You’re dismissed.” Addison said coldly and walked away with the crowd following her.

Lillian, who was at the front desk, came over to comfort her after the crowd entered the elevator.

She was upset, “Why didn’t you explain it properly, Director Downey? You didn’t fix the flowers.”

“How was I supposed to explain it?” Hayden forced a smile, “You want me to say that it was Manager Duncan who ordered the flowers put there as decoration this morning in front of everyone?”

It would be disastrous for the hotel.

It wouldn’t affect the company much if it was a regular employee who made a mistake. But it would be disastrous if it was someone in upper management like Manager Duncan who made a mistake.

Hayden could only take the blame for the good of the company.

“This is so unfair.” Lillian said with regret on her face.

Hayden pinched her hand and smiled, “Why do you feel worse than me? It’s okay, go back to your post. It’s good that you left me here, so I can go back to my office to take care of the documents.”

That said, he headed for the elevator as if nothing had happened.

As he entered the elevator, as he looked at himself in the mirror, the expression on his face changed. He exhaled deeply.

It was so embarrassing.

In the VIP suite on the top floor of the hotel.

“Addison, this will be your room for the duration of your stay here. This is the room with the best standard in our hotel, there are only two of them on each floor.”

“Hmm.”

After the crowd left, Addison closed the door, sat down on the couch and made a call.

When the call connected, she immediately put on a lady-like expression, “Kevin, I’m back. Guess where I am right now.”

“…”.

“At Joseph’s hotel.”

“…”

“I’m not here for fun, I’m here to work. My company made a contract with the ST Hotel. Well never mind that, let’s have dinner together tonight.”

“…”.

“Are you busy? I don’t care, you have to invite Joseph for me.”

“…”.
