Paula scratched her head, trying to hide the nervousness behind an awkward smile. "I can pay for it," she said confidently, though her voice trembled slightly. "Only five million dollars. That's very small. We can rent several rooms simultaneously if it's only 5 million dollars. It's a minimal amount for us. There's nothing to think about."Paula tried to lie. She had no idea that one room cost 5 million dollars. Even then, it was only a standard room, not a luxurious room. The lowest class there. Paula couldn't imagine how much the most elegant room there would cost. Maybe it could be 12 million dollars? Just imagining it gave Paula goosebumps."We can rent your best room," she said.The glamorously dressed woman looked at Paula with a sarcastic smile. "Really? That's the price for a standard room, and it's just one of the rooms in this hotel. Imagine how much it would cost for the best room here-maybe up to 14 million dollars. Are you sure you can afford that?"Paula felt depressed
The staff looked at Carson and his family curiously. After assessing their appearance from top to bottom, he snorted and then burst out in a fit of laughter, which filled the room with a mocking tone."It's not them," he taunted with a sarcastic smile. "How could someone as poor as them rent a room for 20 million dollars? You can't even afford expensive clothes. Let alone rent a room that expensive."Carson stood up straight, feeling his anger rising. He was sure Darwis had reserved the room for him and his family. With a firm voice, he said, "I will not lie. Check again in whose name the room was booked. You must be wrong."The staff responded with a louder laugh and then said dismissively, "If it turns out that it was indeed you who rented the room, I'm ready to resign from this job. But if not, I want to see you kneel before me. You have to kiss my feet 10 times."Carson stared at the staff with a sharp gaze. His facial expression showed firmness and deep anger. His family members
The hotel staff looked amazed when the man appeared. His expression was not only shocked, but a mixture of confusion, anxiety, and fear covered his face. He wanted to run away, but his feet felt frozen. Sweat was pouring down her forehead, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.The glamorously dressed woman beside the staff frowned, trying to understand the situation. Although she didn't know the man, his clothes and shoes cost thousands of dollars, which made it clear that this man was from the upper class and very wealthy.The woman whispered, "Who is he?""He is the General Manager of this hotel, Blue Sky," the staff member replied shaky.Hearing that answer, the glamorous woman was stunned. The leader of a hotel as big as Blue Could kneel before someone? That meant this person was not only rich but also possessed far more power or a higher degree than the General Manager himself.Seeing the leader of the Blue Sky Hotel kneeling respectfully in front of Carson surprised everyon
The two staff continued to try to gain sympathy, although it seemed futile. They approached Carson fearfully, their hands shaking slightly."Is there really nothing we can do to fix this?" one of the staff members asked in a desperate tone. "We're willing to do anything to correct our mistakes. Please, give us a chance."Another staff tried to add, "We're very sorry. We promise to work harder and correct all our mistakes. Please, don't do this."However, Carson stood firm on his decision. With an unwavering voice, he replied, "My decision is final. I cannot forgive you. Leave now, and don't come back again."There was no room for negotiation. Carson's decision was clear and firm. What he had decided, he would not change. It would not waver even when the two staff prostrated themselves at his feet. Carson did not forgive them.As the two staff tried to plead with Carson for forgiveness, the glamorously dressed woman looked increasingly anxious. Her uneasiness was evident, and she felt
"We are not thieves," Alison said firmly, her voice trembling with conviction. Even her gaze was cold. She didn't like being called a thief, as the boutique owner accused her of being.The boutique owner laughed sarcastically. She looked at Alison and Paula with an irritated gaze, her eyes narrowing to emphasize his anger. "Have you forgotten what happened two years ago? You came here too. What happened then? There's no way you've forgotten," she said dismissively.Alison and Paula fell silent, their faces turning pale. Anger and shame flooded through them as the memory of what happened two years ago came back. They faced a very embarrassing situation, were accused of stealing clothes, and could not prove their innocence because the clothes in question were found in Alison's bag. They could not be evasive."It was just a misunderstanding. We didn't steal your clothes," Paula said firmly, her voice shaking with emotion.From the boutique owner's point of view, Alison and Paula were sti
"You poor thing," taunted the boutique owner in a tone full of contempt.Paula felt a burning anger. "I told you that it was all a misunderstanding. My niece has admitted that it was her doing. She was just joking, but she went too far. So, stop accusing us of being thieves again," she said in a frustrated tone.The boutique owner was undeterred. "I didn't hear it directly. You could be lying. Just admit it, and it's over."Paula replied with firmness, "Admit? We won't. We didn't do what we're accused of and won't bow to these baseless accusations."She and the boutique owner looked at each other with fierce glares, clearly disliking each other. The atmosphere of the place became increasingly tense, filled with an unease that was clearly felt in the air. The once bustling room was now gloomy, overwhelmed by the tension that affected every corner of it. Standing between them, Carson tried to neutralize the tension with a deep breath and a calm gaze.The boutique owner sneered, "If you
Paula and Alison, who had heard the customers' whispers, felt very upset. It felt like embers were burning in their chests. They were insulted-not just by one person but by almost everyone there. Why, just because their clothes were cheaper. Quickly, they were accused for no apparent reason.In fact, they didn't know the root of the problem between them and the owner of this boutique. Surprisingly, despite not knowing the whole story, the boutique's customers endured the insults. It made no sense to Alison and Paula. Their hearts felt cut and upset; no one believed them."Stop calling us thieves," Alison shouted in an angry tone, breaking the silence and drawing the attention of everyone in the boutique. Her tears were about to fall, but she held herself back. We don't deserve to be treated like this. You don't know what happened. You better shut your mouths."Her voice echoed, adding to the intensity of her anger and despair. They felt at the center of a storm of injustice and unfoun
Carson had been silent. He was tired of arguing with the boutique lady, so he was silent. He just listened to the argument, but the longer it went on, the worse it got. The insults to her family were getting bigger and bigger, which made Carson even angrier. His gaze pierced through the hearts and fears of the people there, including the woman who owned the boutique. At the same time, it was raining heavily, as if the sky was sharing Carson's anger. Even the lightning struck so hard that everyone cowered. It made everyone there even more frightened. They swallowed their saliva. Carson looked like the God of Thunder, who could kill them with a lightning strike from his hand.In the chaos, Carson stepped forward, just one step, but his step was full of power and decisiveness. His face, usually calm and controlled, was now full of anger. His voice echoed in the room, firm and full of emotion."Alison and Paula are not thieves," she said, her voice full of terrifying certainty.Every wo
