Chapter 159


    “The boss of Ennd branch of SG Travel Group ising in the afternoon. She is going to personally


    examine the qualifications of our hotel. So, no one can make a single mistake, including the cleaning


    ladies and the chefs. Understand? Great! Let’s go for it!”


    Anna just finished a meeting in the conference room of the Carousel Hotel. Previously, the


    headquarters had negotiated long-term cooperation with SG, a well-known foreign tourism group. The


    preliminary work had beenpleted, and all that was left was the on-site examination. Coincidentally,


    the SG group had selected Anna’s hotel in the draw.


    Therefore, as long as the team thought the hotel was qualified, they could sign up for a long-term


    partnership. After that, all SG’s Ennd branch travelers would stay at the Carousel Hotel.


    It was a scorching afternoon, and the hotel managers were waiting for the group toe to the


    entrance.


    After a while, a ck Bentley pulled up at the front door. Then, an assistant got off from the passenger


    side and opened the back seat door.


    The first thing everyone saw was a pair of four-inch shiny high heels. Then, it was followed by a pair of


    long, slender legs.


    The woman held the door and stepped out of the car. The ck jumpsuit she was wearing made her


    look particrly tall. Her hair was delicately pinned up, with curly bangs on one side of her face. She


    was wearing diamond earrings from Bulgari and red lipstick, looking like a mighty and domineering


    woman.


    Everyone looked at each other suspiciously. SG was a well-known international travel group, and


    Birmingham was a famous tourist city. So, no one expected that the manager of their Ennd branch


    looked just in her mid-twenties. The woman was not only young, but also very pretty. So, of course,


    people were puzzled.


    The hotel’s general manager was the first toe forward and ask, “Hello. Are you Charlotte Wilson,


    the president of SG Ennd?”


    “Yes, it’s me.” The woman took off her sunsses and smiled gracefully


    “Hello, I’m Vincent Jones. We’re ready for the examination. So,e on in.”


    Charlotte nodded and said, “Ah, that would be great. I’ve just been transferred back to Ennd. I know


    that the Carousel Group is well known and ssy. But, this is my first contract since I took over this


    position. So, I want to make sure my clients can get the best service. Please don’t mind if I’m being


    picky.”


    “No, we won‘t. Pleasee in.” Vincent said.


    Everyone entered the hotel after Vincent and Charlotte exchanged pleasantries at the door.


    However, Anna always felt that Charlotte had looked at her several times, and she hoped it was just an


    illusion.


    “Our hotel is the oldest of the Carousel hotel chain. However, our facilities are all up-to-date. You see,


    the decor here…”


    “Wait a minute.” Charlotte suddenly interrupted Vincent.


    She stopped at the lounge area. Staring at the vase of flowers on the coffee table for a moment, she


    then walked over quickly. She said sternly, “Why are there flowers here?”


    Vincent tensed up but had no idea what she meant.


    Charlotte said with displeasure and frustration, “You know, everyone maye to the hotel. people


    from the upper ss often have some special personal habits.


    You have ced flowers in the lobby, and that’s nice and pretty. But, have you considered that there


    might be guests who are allergic to the pollen?”


    “Oh my God! Sorry, we didn’t notice it. We’ll get rid of the flowers right now.” Vincent said.


    Then, he red hard at his assistant and said, “Put away all the flowers in the hotel as soom as


    possible.”


    Charlotte frowned as she saw the assistant’s work tag and said, “Wait. What kind of ountability


    mechanism do your hotel have? The lobby manager is supposed to be in charge of this matter today.


    But clearly, they’re not.”


    Vincent froze for a moment, and then immediately looked nervously to his side.


    Anna was the duty manager of the lobby today. However, everyone knew about the fact that Anna and


    Wayne were dating. Even if she was ountable for this matter, Vincent knew he couldn’t embarrass


    Anna in front of so many people.


    Just at this tense moment, Anna, standing in the crowd, suddenly said, “Yes, it’s me. I’m the manager


    on duty in the lobby today. Sorry, I didn’t notice the flowers here.”


    Charlotte looked at Anna. In a beige lobby manager’s uniform, Anna stepped firmly out of the crowd


    Charlotte read aloud the name on her badge and said, “Anna Gabriel. You have a nice name.”


    Anna frowned for a moment and replied, “Thank you. I’ll take care of the flowers right away. And, I will


    assure you that nothing like this will ever happen again. I hope this mishap will not affect your


    company’s overall opinion of our hotel.”


    Charlotte nced at Vincent and said meaningfully, “Oh, you can fix the mistake, but it’s not easy to fix


    the person who made a mistake, isn’t it? Vincent, it looks like just about anyone in your hotel could be a


    manager.”


    Her remark was so harsh that it was like pping Anna in front of everyone. Anna felt very


    embarrassed. She thought that maybe because she might have been praised a lot recently, she


    suddenly felt humiliated by such a severe rebuke.


    Afterwards, her face was flushed.


    “Stay here, Miss Gabriel. You don’t have toe with us,” Charlotte said indifferently and then left with


    the crowd.


    After everyone got into the elevator, Wendy immediatelyforted Anna. She said indignantly, “Miss


    Gabriel, why don’t you exin to that woman? You didn’t put that flower here. You Don’t Have to


    Follo… You shouldn’t be med by her for no reason.”


    Anna gave a bitterugh and said, “I can’t, Wendy. I can’t say that Vincent put the flowers here. You


    know, a lot of people were here just now.”


    If I say that, I would be asking the entire hotel to take the me. If an employee like me made a


    mistake, we could be forgiven. Also, our errors won‘t affect thepany in any way. But a senior


    manager like Vincent would be in big trouble if he does something wrong. I‘m not a senior manager, so


    I can take the me, Anna thought to herself.


    “Oh, no! You must feel terrible! I’m so sorry.” Wendy said as if she looked was the one being


    misunderstood.


    Anna squeezed her hand and said with a fake smile, “Come on, Wendy. I don’t feel bad at all, so don’t


    be upset. You go to work now. I’m happy that she doesn’t need me to keep herpany because I can


    take a break now. Okay, I’m going back to my office to read the papers. Bye.”


    After that, she went to wait for the elevator, as if she was not affected by what had just happened.


    However, as soon as she entered the elevator, Anna’s smile quickly disappeared. She looked at herself


    in the mirror and then let out a long sigh.


    What a shame! She thought to herself. Charlotte stayed in a VIP suite on the top floor that afternoon.


    “Charlotte, this is the room we prepared for you. This is the most expensive room in our hotel, and


    there are only two suites like this on each floor.”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “Thank you,” Charlotte said.


    After they left, Charlotte closed the door and sat on the sofa to make a phone call. The moment the


    phone was dialed, Charlotte immediately became a different person. She said, “Hey. Karl, I’m back!


    Guess where I am now?”


    “I’m in Wayne’s hotel!”


    “Oh, no. I’m not here to have fun, but to work. Mypany is cooperating with Carousel Hotel. I’ll talk


    to youter, okay? Let’s have dinner together tonight.”


    “You’re not avable? Oh, that’s okay. But, you have to to get me a date with Wayne.”
