Chapter 472


    Chapter 472


    Larissa had been sticking to a regr routine for some time now in order to take care of Aster. But this


    time, her sleep quality had dropped, and she unexpectedly got a headache. She wasn’t sure if it was a


    sign of getting older or simply leading an overlyfortable life before.


    Her temples throbbed persistently, apanied by nausea and chest tightness. As a result, she


    couldn’t focus during the meeting and couldn’t recall what others had said.


    After she instructed her secretary to make a photocopy of the meeting minutes for her, she headed


    downstairs alone. Her headache became unbearable, and she urgently needed to visit the pharmacy to


    purchase a box of painkillers.


    There were quests going through the check-in process at the front desk, which was amon sight in


    hotels. She merely nced at them and continued walking but stopped when she heard the words


    “presidential suite”.


    The Winston Hotel, being a five-star hotel rivaling Regal Dynasty Hotel naturally offered presidential


    suites. Regrettably, the suites had remained unupied since the hotel’s grand opening until now.


    She did not rush over. Instead, she stood her ground and listened attentively to the conversation at the


    front desk. Only after confirming that the guest had indeed reserved the suite did she put on a smile


    and quickly turned.


    There were two men at the front desk, one taller than the other. The taller one looked younger, perhaps


    in his twenties or thirties, while the shorter one had a touch of gray at his temples and looked like he


    was in his lities. It was clear that the taller man held a subordinate position because he appeared


    somewhat restrained and respectful toward the shorter man.


    Larissa reached out to the shorter man and said. “Hello, sir. I’m Larissa, the general manager of the


    Winston Hotel. Wee to our hotel.”


    The man nced at her casually and abruptly froze. The next moment, he broke into a delightful smile.


    “Hey. It’s your he eximed. gripping her hand tightly.


    She was taken aback by his behavior. Had she not known that he was an important quest of the hotel,


    she might have thought he was a weirdo. Her smile gradually stiffened, and she fought the urge to pull


    her hand away.


    “I’m sorry. Have we met before?” She scrutinized him carefully and thought that he indeed looked


    familiar, but she was unable to recall


    where she had seen him.


    The man seemed disappointed. “You’ve forgotten? You saved me on the ne to the States six years


    ago.”


    Larissa finally remembered the incident with his reminder. However, she had forgotten entirely what the


    person looked like or what his name was. The incident happened years ago, and she hadn’t paid much


    attention to it. But that didn’t stop her from trying to establish a connection. “Oh, it’s you! What a


    coincidence!”


    “Yeah! Did you know I’ve been waiting for your call all this time?” Gary’s face lit up with genuine


    happiness, but there was a hint of reproach in his gaze when he looked at her.


    She hung her head in embarrassment. “Actually, I didn’t think it was a big deal.”


    “It was a matter of life and death to me!” His expression suddenly became serious as he dered, “I


    owed you a meal for six years. I must treat you to a meal today since we met!” His tone was firm,


    leaving no room for rejection.


    Of course, Larissa wouldn’t decline his Invitation either. In this situation, she couldn’t afford to upset


    Gary. After all, he was a big client she


    needed for long-term growth.


    So, she dly epted his invitation. “My pleasure!


    Gary’s face instantly brightened. “Deal! See you at the hotel’s restaurant at 7 pm tonight!This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
