The next day, after Anna sent Tammy to the swimming club and signed up for the course, she received a call from John who said that the receptionists of the hotel had a conflict with a customer
Anna then rushed to the hotel in a hurry after hanging up the phone. As soon as she arrived at the hotel, John came up to her with an anxious look “What happened?” Anna asked.
“Since we will receive the important foreign guests, we need to transfer the other guests to the nearby branch of our hotel in advance. Do you remember the drama crew that checked in before? Something happened to the supporting actress. And she refused to leave and argued with our receptionist,” John said.
Hearing this, Anna frowned. “The supporting actress? The guest called Sherry who lives in Room 1213?”
“Yes, it’s her The drama crew and our hotel have agreed that we would arrange another hotel nearby for them, be responsible for the luggage transportation, and compensate for the loss of their time But just now, Sherry said that she lost a diamond necklace And the surveillance video showed that this morning Wendy was the only one that went to her room to inform her of the time of luggage transportation.”
“She suspected that Wendy stole her necklace?” Anna asked and frowned tightly
Anna didn’t believe that Wendy would do such a thing because Wendy, who was interviewed and recruited by her had been a person of integrity and behaved well at work.
“Yes Sherry wanted to call the police but we stopped her. If the police come and the other quests know about this, the reputation of our hotel will be ruined,” John said.
Anna nodded and said, “You are right. Well;where’s Wendy now? Ask her to come to me. I’ll ask her what happened first.”
“Okay.” John said with a nod and went to look for Wendy
Anna then went straight to the monitoring room. As soon as she arrived there, she saw a familiar figure.
“What are you doing here?” She asked Ryan in surprise.
Ryan blinked at her and said, “I knew what happened in the hotel and I’m here to check the surveillance video. Anyway, I don’t have anything to do so I want to do something to help you. I’ve asked them to pull up the video you want. You can view it directly.”
Anna looked at him with admiration and praised him, “You are awesome.” Then she looked at the screen.
On the monitor screen was the scene at the door of Room 1213. The security guard played the video in fast-forwarded mode.
When Anna saw a scene of the last night on the video, she suddenly said, “Pause it please.”
The security guard quickly pressed the pause button and asked, “Is there any problem, Miss Gabriel?”
Anna raised her hand to motion him not to talk and stared at the screen. A moment later, she said in a low voice, “Rewind the video to five minutes before.”
The security guard then rewound the video immediately.
“Stop here,” Anna said. Seeing Wendy’s panicked figure on the screen, she took a deep breath and her face was darkened.
“At nine o’clock last night, Wendy went into Room 1213. At this time, there should be no one in the room,” she said.
Ryan touched his chin, adjusted his glasses, and said thoughtfully, “It’s not as simple as that.”
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the door. Then John came in and said breathlessly, “Miss Gabriel, Wendy is at the rooftop terrace. She wants to jump off the building!”
“What?!” Anna‘s face turned pale when she heard this. The next moment, she rushed out of the monitoring room in her stilettos.
On the rooftop terrace of Carousel Hotel, a slender figure was standing outside the rusty railing and trembling
The strong sunlight was dazzling and the wind was warm, making people feel extremely hot
“Don’t come over. Stay away from me!” Wendy shouted emotionally “Wendy, calm down.”
By the time Anna got to the terrace, there had been many employees persuading Wendy, They all looked nervously at Wendy with their faces pale and their eyes full of fear
If Wendy had an accident, the reputation of the hotel and even the Carousel Group would be
“Let me past. Please get out of the way, everybody,” Anna panted and said as she forged through the crowds to the front.
When she saw Wendy standing outside the rail, she was almost scared out of her wits.
After calming herself down, she said, “Wendy, calm down. Come here and let’s have a talk.”
At the sight of Anna, Wendy cried and said, “Miss Gabriel, I didn’t steal the necklace. That guest slandered me.”
“I know. I know you didn’t do that. We’re still investigating this matter. Come back first, Wendy,” Anna said.
“You are lying to me,” Wendy shouted hysterically, holding the railing with one hand and wiping her tears with the other.
Seeing her like this, the others broke out in a cold sweat.
Wendy then continued, “You all lied to me. No one believes me at all. You all believe that actress. When she asked you to fire me, you agreed to her request. I heard that!”
Hearing this, Anna was a little surprised. She glared at John and asked, “Who said she would be fired?”
John frowned and said, “Mr. Brown thought that it’s more important to transfer the crew members as soon as possible, so he…”
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Brown suddenly cut in, “I did that for the sake of our hotel.”
“Even for the sake of the hotel, you can’t fire her for no reason,” Anna said as she glanced at Mr. Brown with coldness in her eyes.
Frightened by her cold gaze, Mr. Brown shivered and dare not say anything more.
Anna then turned to look at Wendy and raised her voice, “Wendy, I promise I will find out the truth. You won’t be fired if you are innocent.”
At this time, Wendy’s delicate and pretty face was bloodless, full of frustration and depression. She shook her head repeatedly as tears streamed down her face and she said, “I don’t believe you. You will definitely fire me.”
As soon as she finished her words, the rusty iron railing, which had been out of repair for a long time, suddenly came loose from the cement ground, making a harsh cracking sound.
Seeing this, the others gasped and screamed.
Anna clenched her fists and said, “It can’t go on like this. John, talk to her and attract her attention. You can talk to her about her grandmother. And I’ll try to pull her back.”
When John began to talk to Wendy about her grandmother, Anna quietly walked to the edge of the crowd, stooped, and approached Wendy as her heart beat fast.
“Wendy, think about your grandmother. She is in poor health and is waiting for you to send her money to support her. Don’t give up your life,” John said in a trembling voice.
Under the scorching sun, Anna was almost covered with sweat.
Through the gap between the railings, she saw that the fire brigade had arrived and were inflating the inflatable cushions. However, even the cushions could serve as buffers, one might have a concussion if falling off from such a high building.
Wendy seemed to be about to be persuaded by John. She couldn’t help crying and roared, “If lose my job, I can’t send money to my grandmother and can’t support her anymore. If so, I’d rather than die!”
