It was late at night.
In the MPV, Ada, who had just gotten off work, was talking with Jason.
After she heard Jason’s words, her face changed, “Only Leo’s body was found? Where is the detective?”
“He‘s missing. I haven‘t found him yet.”
“You must find him as soon as possible!” Ada’s face turned pale and she snapped. “If he is not dead and calls the police, we will be in trouble.”
“I‘ve been looking for him! I‘ve searched everywhere that he might go. I went to the hotel where he lived before. The hotel staff said that he hadn‘t been back there for two months.”
“Does anyone else know about it?” After calming down, Ada asked Jason and clenched her fists, her nails sinking into her palm“.
Jason frowned and said firmly, “No. The killers were sure that no one witnessed what they did. And they will keep it a secret. Except for them, only Pearson knows about this. The killers have promised me that they would find Pearson and kill him as soon as possible. But I‘m worried that something unexpected will happen before they find him.”
When Ada heard this, her face darkened and she said, “Pearson is unlikely to be still alive. If he was alive, he would have gone to the police station to report the case. But now we‘ve got no news about him. I guess that something might have happened to him. Ask the killers to go to the hospital or the shelter nearby to look for Pearson. He may hide in these places.”
The fire was so big and even many houses around Leo‘s were burnt Pearson was drugged and unconscious at that time. How is it possible that he escaped safe and sound? Ada tried to comfort herself with her analysis and gradually unclenched her fists.
The next morning. Anna set out to Laxis Town, a town two hundred kilometers away from Birmingham
The first hotel that she came to do market research on was a B&B called Maplesugar Hotel which ranked first on the hot hotel list.
“Miss, your room is the first room on the right on the second floor.” After Anna checked in, the receptionist returned Anna her ID card and said, “I‘ll take you to your room. This way, please.”
“Thank you,” Anna said with a smile.
The receptionist was a girl under twenty years old and was very enthusiastic. She was wearing a green T–shirt and shorts, and her words and behaviors were full of youthful vigor.
“Are you the only staff here? Can you manage everything alone?” Anna asked.
“I‘m not the only staff. We have a manager. But the manager has gone somewhere else and hasn‘t come back for two months,” the receptionist said.
Hearing this, Anna frowned and felt a little disappointed.
On the one hand, she came here to do market research. On the other hand, she wanted to invite the manager of Maplesugar Hotel to join Carousel Hotel.
The decoration of Maplesugar Hotel was much better than she had expected, which made her more determined to poach the manager. She believed that if the manager could participate in the youth hotel project of Carousel Group, the project would definitely be accomplished more efficiently
“Well, when will the manager come back?” Anna asked.
“I don‘t know. Our manager is always very mysterious. Most of the time it is Ms. Wilson who is in charge of our hotel. Miss, do you want to see our manager?“.
“Yes,” Anna said with a smile. “The decoration of this hotel is unique so I think the manager here must have good taste and hope I can have a chance to know him.”
“Our hotel is designed by Ms Wilson and our manager MS Wilson produced many ideas during the decoration. She‘s at the hotel now. You may have a talk with her later,” the receptionist said.
“Really?” Anna‘s eyes brightened at once. “You can this hotel was mainly designed by Ms. Wilson?”
“Yes, she‘s the owner of this hotel.” After a short conversation, the receptionist went downstairs and continued to work.
With an expectant look, Anna was overjoyed and thought, Generally speaking, it is easier to persuade a woman than a man. If only I can persuade the owner to join Carousel Group.
In the evening, the setting sun was shedding a golden light over everything in Laxis Town. – In a corner on the first floor of Maplesugar Hotel, a middle–aged woman was making coffee leisurely. In a customized dress and with her long hair coiled up, she looked chic and elegant. Besides, she looked much younger than she was and it was hard to tell her age.
“Good evening, Ms. Wilson,” Anna walked over and said, “Wow, the coffee smells good.”
Hearing her voice, Jennie, the proprietress of the hotel, raised her head and smiled gently at her, saying, “Would you like some coffee? It will be done soon.”
Anna nodded and sat down. “What do you think of our hotel?” Jennie asked as she focused on making coffee.
“It‘s quite good. I can see the whole town from the window of the second floor. The scenery is so beautiful,” Anna said. .
“Have some coffee, please,” Ms. Wilson said as she handed Anna a cup of coffee.
Anna thanked her and took it over. She took a sip of coffee and enjoyed its smooth, rich taste.
“You‘re not here for a trip, right?” Jennie asked. Anna was a little surprised and she asked, “How do you know that, Ms. Wilson?” “If you‘re here for a trip, you wouldn‘t have stayed in the hotel all day long,” Jennie said. Anna couldn‘t help smiling and said, “You are so meticulous.” Jennie smiled and didn‘t say anything else. “Ms. Wilson, don‘t you want to know why I‘m here?” Anna asked.
“I‘m not curious about it. Curiosity killed the cat. But if you want to tell me, I‘ll be a good listener.”
Anna was stunned.
After thinking for a while, she said, “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Anna, and I‘m a hotel manager of Carousel Group.” As she spoke, she handed her business card to Jennie.
When Jennie heard the words “Carousel Group“, she tensed up immediately and looked at Anna in surprise. “Carousel Group?”
“Yes,” Anna nodded and said.
She breathed a sigh of relief and thought, Although Laxis Town is far away from Birmingham, it seems that Mr. Wilson knows about our company. Maybe it will be much easier to persuade her to join us.
“Ms. Wilson, I heard that you have personally designed and decorated this hotel, so I‘m wondering if you want to join our company and participate in our new project on the youth hotel chain.”
Without responding, Jennie frowned and stared at the business card, lost in thought
After a while, she asked, “May I know who asked you to come here and invite me to join your company?”
“It was proposed by Strategic Planning Department and finally approved by the president of our group in a meeting,” Anna answered honestly.
*The president of your company is… Wayne?” Jennie asked.
“Yes. You know Mr. Wright?” Anna asked hesitantly and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Jennie.
