Ryan was the sort of person who stood out in a crowd. When he walked over from the other end of the corridor, the crowd made way for him. Although he was young, he looked mature and calm at this moment.
Anna was a little stunned when seeing him. Then she immediately pulled him and whispered, “What are you doing here?”
Ryan just patted the back of her hand gently and showed a reassuring smile. Then he said to Sherry, “Miss Hill, you distorted the truth and tried to frame the innocent receptionist for stealing. If this matter is exposed to the public, I’m afraid that you will have to quit the entertainment circle soon.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Sherry said with a hint of fluster on her face. “Who are you? You are not the staff of Carousel Hotel and have no right to interfere with this matter.”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is the truth. You said that Wendy stole your necklace. Do you have any evidence?” Ryan asked.
“The surveillance video shows that she entered my room at nine o’clock last night,” Sherry said.
“You were in the room when Wendy went there, right?” Hearing this, everyone looked at each other with a surprised look.
The staff in the hotel knew that the crew would have a meeting in the director’s room to discuss the script at about nine o’clock every night. And during this time, the actors and actresses would not be in their rooms. Therefore, Wendy, who happened to enter Sherry’s room and run out in panic at that time, became the only suspect.
“I was not in the room. I didn’t go back to my room until eleven o’clock at night.” Sherry’s face changed and she said snappishly, “If you want to cover up for that receptionist, you’d better think of a more brilliant way.”
Ryan sneered and said with his handsome face full of disdain. “That’s also what I want to tell you, Miss Hill, If you want to tryst with a man and do something shameful, you’d better find a brilliant way rather than taking advantage of the shared balconies of the rooms. Do you really think you can hide what you have done from others?”
When he finished his words, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Sherry trysted with a man? Hearing this, Anna was suddenly enlightened and finally figured out everything
She remembered that once she passed by Ada’s room, she happened to hear Ada scold Sherry for being unprofessional and always “disappearing for no reason” during the meeting.
On the floor where the crew members live, the balconies are connected and several rooms share one balcony.
It turns out that Sherry “disappeared” because she sneaked away via the balcony of the room when the others were discussing the script. As for what she would do after leaving the meeting early, the answer is obvious
Sherry’s face turned ghastly pale and she said anxiously, “Don’t talk nonsense. Watch your mouth, or I will sue you for slander!”
“Is it slander? Just now I asked a crew member about your whereabouts last night. Then | found that when Wendy entered your room last night, you were not in the director’s room. Coincidentally, the producer was not there, either, meaning that you two were in the same room.”
Hearing his last sentence, everyone present was totally stunned and many of them looked at Sherry with their eyes full of contempt and disgust.
The producer used to be a famous and excellent actor and had already been married. That was to say, Sherry was actually his mistress.
“You… Shut up.” Sherry stammered in embarrassment.
“I haven’t finished yet,” Ryan smiled and said. “According to the data shown on the water meter of your room, at nine o’clock last night, the tap at the bathtub of your room was on. And there is no way that you will leave the tap on when you’re away, right?”
As more evidence were presented, the full story came out.
Compared with Sherry who said that Wendy had stolen her necklace but had no evidence, Ryan was more convincing.
Some people present had secretly taken photos or shot videos with their mobile phones. Anna glanced at the hotel staff around and said, “Stop taking pictures and go back to work now”
Hearing this, the staff put away their phones in embarrassment and left.
Anna then looked at Sherry whose arrogance and aggressiveness had been extinguished, and asked, “Miss Hill, may I have a word with you?”
Gritting her teeth, Sherry had no choice but to nod although she was unwilling. “Since everything is clear, I won’t go with you, Anna,” Ryan said with an innocent look.
At this moment, he looked like an unsophisticated youth again, totally different from the eloquent and quick-thinking person that he was just now.
Seeing him like this, Anna was a little puzzled. But she didn’t think too much because she still had to talk to Sherry. Then she nodded and said, “OK. Thank you, Ryan.”
“You’re welcome. It’s just a piece of cake. Go ahead with your work. I’ll explain everything to Wendy later,” Ryan said,
“Okay*
After Anna left, there were only a few hotel staff left in the corridor except for Ryan. Many of them were waiters and receptionists who had a good relationship with Wendy. Seeing Anna leave, they all came to Ryan happily
“You‘re awesome! How did you find out the truth?”
“I saw Sherry flirting with the producer before. Just now, her face changed when you mentioned the producer. How did you find our their affair? You are so smart.”
The young girls around talked to Ryan with their eyes full of admiration. It seemed that they
They didn’t notice that at corner at the end of the corridor, a tall figure had been standing there for a long time. With a thoughtful look, he stared at Ryan with a hint of vigilance in his
With Ryan’s help, the matter was much easier to deal with for Anna. After talking with Sherry, she learned that the whole incident was staged by Sherry, and her heart sank.
The night before, Wendy happened to see Sherry having sex with the producer in the bathroom. Afraid that her affair with the producer would be exposed, Sherry planned to frame Wendy up for stealing her necklace so that the hotel would fire Wendy. In this case, even if Wendy exposed it in the future, she could deny it and say that Wendy slandered her for revenge.
“Miss Hill, do you know that Wendy almost died because of your frame-up?” Anna said and looked at Sherry with a frown.
Sherry stammered embarrassedly, “I didn’t expect that she would commit suicide. I… Anyway, this matter has come to this. Just tell me how much money you want. I’ll give it to you right now.”
Anna was furious. “Do you think money is everything?”
“Or what?” Sherry also lost her temper and said, “I’ve told you that I’ll give you as much money as you want. What else do you want? If what happened just now is exposed on the Internet and causes any loss to me, I will sue the hotel!” Sherry said.
Seeing Sherry still stubborn like that, Anna clenched her fists. After taking a deep breath, sh raised her head, looked straight into Sherry’s eyes, and said coldly, “Miss Hill, I’m afraid that ons this matter is exposed, you won’t have time to sue our hotel because you will be not only busy dealing with the reporters but also have to deal with the producer’s wife.”
Hearing this, Sherry was struck dumb and her face turned pale.
“What do you want? Do you want to make it awkward for everyone? If I become notorious, then the hotel will definitely go down with me!”
Sherry gritted her teeth and continued to ask, “Do you want to lose your job because of a receptionist?”
Anna snorted coldly and said, “I didn’t do anything wrong. What’s more, I didn’t intend to drag everyone down with this matter.”
