Chapter 309 Encounter at the Hotel
An hourter, Amelie arrived at an aesthetic coffee shop.
When Mr. Hampton saw her, he grinned widely as he greeted her, "Miss Foxy! I know that you are
famous and easily noticed by the public, so I deliberately chose this ce. Don''t worry about anyone
interrupting us."
"Thank you, Mr. Hampton. I''ll treat you today," Amelie thanked him as she smiled politely under her
mask. Since he had asked to meet up with her, she might as well discuss her leave on the show with
him.
"Oh, you''re too kind," Mr. Hampton said politely.
Soon, they both took a seat.
Amelie wasted no time as she took out a contract and a bank card from her purse. "Thank you for the
opportunity to let me appear on ''Show Your Love''. I''ve gotten many benefits from it. However, I''ve
decided to quit due to time constraints. Here is triple the amount of the penalty."
"Oh, Miss Foxy. This… This is so sudden." Mr. Hampton''s face was filled with shock and pity. "Our show
would take a huge toll if you were to leave."
"Please don''t tter me, Mr. Hampton. With your skills, I''m sure you can find someone better to rece
me." As Amelie spoke, she pushed the card closer to him. After all, there wasn''t anything money couldn''t
sort out. "If you are worried about the money, I can give you more." She wasn''t fond of making enemies,
so she was willing to pay more than she should have to avoid worsening their rtionship.
Hearing her words, Mr. Hampton shook his head vigorously. "No. This is enough." After all, he could find
a top recement with how much she had given him. As for the audience, Mr. Hampton knew that they
would be upset by Foxy''s departure, but their attention would soon be diverted once another famous
person appeared. After all, he had been in the industry long enough to see how things worked.
"I have a better idea, Miss Foxy. Why don''t you hear me out?" He pushed the card back to her. "Instead
of paying the penalty, why don''t you be the sponsor of this show?"
Mr. Hampton was smart; he knew their coboration might end there if he epted the money. However,
if Foxy were to be his sponsor, he would still have a chance to contact her, be it for money, connections,
or getting her on the show again.
After thinking for a moment, Amelie nodded and said, "Sure."
This is better. After all, I can use this as a chance to advertise my new tform.
Soon, they discussed the details and asked someone to draw up a contract.
Although Mr. Hampton had lost a celebrity in his show, he was happy since he convinced her to be
a sponsor instead. He raised his ss and said, "Let''s drink."
By the time they were done with the contract, the sun was already setting.
At that moment, Mr. Hampton sped his hands and said, "Are you going home, Miss Foxy? You can''t
drive since you''ve had some alcohol, though. Instead of calling a cab, which might be risky, why not have
a stay at the hotel I recently opened?"
At that moment, Mr. Hampton sped his hands and said, "Are you going home, Miss Foxy? You can''t
drive since you''ve had some alcohol, though. Instead of calling a cab, which might be risky, why not have
a stay at the hotel I recently opened?"
Hearing his words, Amelie was slightly surprised. "I never knew you had another job under your belt."
Mr. Hampton chuckled and replied, "Being a director is hard. By venturing into something else, I can still
maintain my lifestyle if I can''t be a director anymore. That is why I partnered with my friend to establish a
hotel. We just finished renovations and are about to promote the ce." As he spoke, he looked at her.
"If you like, I can offer you to stay the night. Don''t forget to promote it on your stream if you think it''s a
nice stay."
Amelie liked the fact that he had told her his intentions from the get-go.
Since she had drunk some alcohol and the ride home was long, she nodded. "Okay."
Delighted, Mr. Hampton pointed at a building across the street and said, "It''s just a short walk from here.
Since I still have a meeting back in the city, I won''t be apanying you after sending you over." He told
her his ns, for he feared she would misunderstand him as having ill intentions.
When Amelie heard his words, she smiled and said nothing.
Mr. Hampton was a man of his word. He escorted her to the hotel entrance and told the staff to take
good care of her.
After that, Amelie followed the staff into the guest room.
Theyout of the hotel was perfect. It was designated to be country-style and had an indoor garden,
which made the ce look refreshing andfortable. Amelie took pictures of the hotel for promotion
purposes and headed to her room.
Then, she called Steven, telling him that she wouldn''t be able to be home tonight. When Steven heard
her words, he told her to be careful and watch out for any trouble. After all, Amelie was his precious.
Even though she was all grown up and had a job, she would always be the little girl that needed
protection in his heart.
On the other hand, Amelie knew what Steven was thinking. Thus, no matter how much he nagged, she
would listen to him.
At this moment, Bria, who was beside Steven, came to the rescue. "That''s enough, Grandpa. Mama is
going to go deaf from all your nagging." After some time, her voice became clearer. "Just rx and have
a happy stay, Mama. Don''t miss us too much."
Seeing that they reacted differently to her staying out, Amelie couldn''t help butugh.
"By the way, Dada couldn''t take me to the amusement park today since he was very busy." As Bria
spoke, her voice was filled with disappointment.
Amelie knew Leo had won Bria''s heart, so she quickly said, "When I''m back tomorrow morning, I will
bring you to the amusement park."
Amelie knew Leo had won Bria''s heart, so she quickly said, "When I''m back tomorrow morning, I will
bring you to the amusement park."
"Really? That''s wonderful!" Bria was delighted.
After chatting for some time, Amelie hung up the phone. Then, she did a live stream until 10.00PM. After
that, she yawned as sleepiness crept upon her. However, she didn''t go to the bathroom. Instead, she
took out her phone and opened the scanner mode to detect if there were any surveince cameras in the
room. Then, she took off her mask and headed to the bathroom.
Since there was a washing machine that could wash and dry her clothes, she put her dirty clothes into
the machine and came out with only a towel wrapped around her. Her hair, which was dripping wet, fell
on her shoulders as she looked for a hairdryer. She found the hairdryer by the door and had to tiptoe
since it was pretty high up for her.
Just as she obtained the hairdryer, she heard a click. It sounded like the door had been opened.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.
At that moment, she was startled and immediately looked at the door.
In that split second, the door suddenly swung open, and a few men in suits entered the room while
talking with their heads low.
It all happened so fast, and Amelie couldn''t do anything but freeze on the spot.
The lead man raised his head and was stunned when their eyes met.
Looking at him, Amelie was shocked too.
Leo?
"Mr. Alston, I''ll contact the overseas management about today''s online meeting. We can start the
meeting in ten minutes." The man behind Leo spoke. He was holding aptop as he was about to enter
the room.
"Get out!" Leo stated.
At that moment, everyone was shocked and raised their heads to look at him.
Bang!
In that split second, Leo stepped forward and shut everyone out of the room.
The project director, who was at the front, nearly hit his nose against the door. "What…" He looked at the
others while rubbing his nose in confusion. Did I say something wrong to make Mr. Alston mad? What
did I say, though? he thought.
The others were confused too. Then, they looked at Eugene. "Mr. Cornelius…"
Although Eugene didn''t know what had happened, he reacted quickly. "Why don''t we all head to the
meeting room and sort our ns again?"
"That will be great."
Leo was famous for being stern and picky, so they were all afraid that Leo would be picky about their
work. It would be wonderful if they had more time to work on it.
On the other hand, Leo stared at Amelie intently in the room.
