Robert stood there, his lips twitching into a wide grin as he watched her zoom off until he could no longer see the hood of her car. "She is such a delightful, simple, and kind lady!" he thought to himself.He crossed over to the park and stood there, expecting a cab to pass by so he could hop in, but for the next ten minutes, there was none in sight. Soon, he glanced up at the sky and saw that it had grown dark and rain was imminent. He quickly pulled out his phone to call Simon and ask for a ride, but the rain had already started to drizzle. Instead, he looked around and rushed into a hotel.He took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief wash over him.As he entered the hotel lobby, he was promptly greeted by the receptionist, a friendly-looking woman with a warm smile. "Good evening, sir. Welcome to the Santaro Hotel!" she said.Robert responded with a soft smile."Sir, how can we assist you? Do you need a room for the night?" she asked.Robert smiled. "Yes, I need a room for the
CHAPTER.41. Olivia's face went pale with shock as she gasped, "Owen, look!"Owen, still distracted by his phone, didn't bother to look up. "What's up, Liv?"She nudged him. "Look over there by the door - it's Robert!"The name struck a chord in him, and he quickly looked around. "Where? Where is he?"He scanned the room and when he finally spotted Robert, he couldn't help but chuckle. "What's he doing here?"Olivia whispered, "I have no idea, but this hotel is super expensive. What could he be doing here?"Owen shrugged. "Maybe he's trying to impress someone, as he usually does, or maybe someone brought him here."Olivia was skeptical about Robert impressing someone. She turned to look at Robert and asked, "Impress someone? With what money? He fakes everything; he's always broke!"Owen laughed. "Who knows? Maybe he's got a sugar mama footing his bills."Olivia burst out laughing. "Oh, Owen, you're so ridiculous! But seriously, what do you think he's doing?"He couldn't help but glare
CHAPTER. VVIP room.The security guard looked at both of them. They both appeared well-kept, with no signs of being worn out or having torn clothes that would suggest poverty. Owen was wearing a Louis Vuitton nightwear ensemble with casual Prada slippers. While it may have seemed simple, the outfit was clearly expensive. In contrast, Robert was wearing a casual Givenchy shorts and a top. The security guard scrutinized them for a moment and he knew at once both of them were above average before speaking up."Young man, did you say you are lodged in the VVIP room?" He glanced over to Robert with a stern look and his tone was domineering."If so, may I see your card?"There was always a private VVIP membership card always given to each customer.Robert quickly dipped his hand into his pocket to retrieve the membership card he had been given, but it was not in the clothes he was wearing at the moment. He had left the card in the clothes he had worn the previous night after making a simple pu
CHAPTER. Exclusive invite.The lady walked over to Owen and his girlfriend, her face plastered with a frown as she spoke."I'm sorry, sir, but you'll need to leave this lobby. It's for the VVIP rooms only. The one for the VIP is right under this one,If you take the stairs you will find it down.”Owen was shocked,it was evident in his face."What do you mean we should leave when we're not done with our dinner?" he asked, shock evident in his voice.The lady's expression darkened. "Sir, I've made myself clear! You have to leave for the next lobby downstairs, but this one is strictly for the gentleman over there." She pointed at Robert. The hotel rarely sees anyone who wants to stay in the VVIP area, and she wouldn't let anyone disrespect their customer.Meanwhile, Owen's mouth fell open in shock at what the receptionist was saying. Firstly, he was shocked that she was behaving as if she didn't even know him. Other times when he came, she was usually all smiles and very polite, but now she
CHAPTER.43.Prey.Robert asked skeptically, "You are still in your nightwear. Were you so worried about me that you couldn't take your bath before rushing here?"Lily glanced at her outfit and quickly covered her face with both hands. She was embarrassed. She didn't know she was still in her nightwear. Actually, she hadn't been able to stop thinking about Robert's safety. First, she had initiated the date, and then Robert had gotten into a fight with her ex, whom she knew was so dangerous and might come back looking for him. She couldn't bring herself to sleep comfortably, and once it was morning, she wanted to make sure that he was safe.But now, she had just given out the wrong impression.She quickly composed herself, remembering that Robert was still one of her students.She laughed. "Maybe a little. I couldn't sleep after you got caught up in the rain last night. I was just slightly worried my student might catch a cold or something."He chuckled. "Don't worry about me. Just a lit
CHAPTER 44.Superhero.When he got to the section for the chocolate cakes, he couldn't help but marvel at the varieties they had. When they said they were the best, no lie was told. It was a very hard decision for him to pick the one he wanted since all of them had their unique designs. There were cakes in different shapes, and each of them had a specific beauty.When he was done, he headed to the counter to make payments for his purchases. As he was waiting in line, he heard someone shouting behind him. He was about to ignore the commotion, but then a resounding slap and a scream followed.He turned and quickly stepped up to where the action was taking place, out of curiosity. A lot of other people were already gathered to watch the unfolding scene. When Robert arrived at the scene, he was quick to get the reason for the gathering. A young man of his age stood motionless, looking aggressively at a lady who seemed to be at least two years younger than him. The young man was well-dresse
CHAPTER.45The man let out a small laugh and stylishly wiped away a tear rolling down from the corners of his eyes. It wasn't out of the gravity of laughing, but he was sobbing silently in pain. He had posed to be a strong and strict bigger person so he wouldn't give up now and let Robert win. Robert's grip was too hard for him to snap out from. He scrutinized Robert for a moment and noticed that even if he might not be wearing expensive clothes like him, he had such nice strength that he couldn't intimidate."Do you know how much these shoes cost? Do you fucking know?" He hollered at him. "Well, I don't expect you to know shit when you wear such cheap tacky wears like those slippers you're wearing now!"Like a flash, everyone's eyes went to Robert's leg, and there it was - he was wearing just a casual Prada white living room wear, it was from the hotel, and he had forgotten to change back to his normal wear. Now there was no way he was going to defend himself. The onlookers were also
CHAPTER.46."Who's in for my deal? You both combined can't afford it. Let's go, girl." He gave her a predatory look, which made the girl shudder."I know this superhero dude can't afford it!" He thought to himself before turning back to the girl.But before he said anything, Robert quickly interrupted him. "750,000?" He asked, shock evident in his voice.He had been buying expensive shoes, but never in his life has he bought any shoes as expensive as this one. Meanwhile, the girl's face dissolved into a deeper frown once she noticed that her savior didn't have such an amount to save her from the man. Besides, she wasn't expecting him to pay up such a huge amount for her when he had just met her that day!The man nodded his head and smiled. "What now? You can't afford the shoes, mister superhero?"The whole place went hush, eager to hear Robert's response."Call your account number!"The man shuddered in fear. He was taken aback when Robert asked for his account number, and he couldn't
