All the maids in Max's house panicked. No one dared look Max in the face as he crossed their path. The man's sharp eyes seemed to demand responsibility for Jasmine's escape from her room."I've never seen Mr. Max be this angry.""How did she escape? While we've locked her room.""I'm sure it must be the intruder who took Miss Jasmine away."Amidst the restlessness of the maids, there was one maid who looked so calm. She didn't panic when she found out that Jasmine wasn't in her room. She was the maid who met Leon the day before Jasmine ran away."Thankfully, he must have managed to get Miss Jasmine away from here," the maid muttered. She saw the suffering in Jasmine's eyes, and knowing that she was free from Max made her very happy.Max went to the CCTV room to see the footage of Jasmine's escape. Max was shocked when he saw the CCTV in the corridor, where Jasmine was seen leaving her room without anyone's help. The girl was also seen locking her own bedroom door."Where did she get t
"I couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a mask, and I only saw it from the CCTV footage," explained Max. He sighed as he ruffled his hair."I think he is Jasmine's groom-to-be," Edward said without looking at Max. He was busy finishing his work."I have to find out about that man!" Max's determination."How did you find out about him? You only saw him from the CCTV footage, you have no idea how he looks like.""I will find him no matter what!" Edward's pessimistic words didn't break Max's determination to find out who the man who took Jasmine ran away from his house."If I were you, I would prefer to find another woman. I've said it many times, and maybe you're tired of hearing it too, but you're always desperate for her love. You always act like you're the ugliest guy in the world, and no one wants to be with you. Remember, Max, you are part of the Lackner family. Everyone in this city knows how honorable the Lackner family is!" This time Edward glared at Max, wishing his co
"Sir, you could enter the VIP room." The supervisor's voice averted Leon's gaze."Okay, I'll be right in there." Before entering the VIP room, he was curious about the two men who were with Claire. He tried to ask the supervisor about them."Do you know who the two men sitting over there are?" Leon asked."They are David Stern and Noah Hensen, sir.""Okay, thank you."Leon had heard of the two names, but he had never known how they looked before. He rushed to the VIP room he had reserved.Claire listened to the two men in front of her who were talking about business. She remembered that at the Jensen family's party, David and Noah looked interested in trying to establish a working relationship with her company.Claire knew the state of her company was now on the edge. But if she had the opportunity to work with a bigger company like the two men's, then her company could definitely be saved. There was nothing wrong with trying to offer cooperation directly with their company. "Why is
"Is she gone?" Leon asked the supervisor. He actually hasn't left the cafe yet, he's just in the VIP room. This luxury cafe was still under the auspices of the Jensen family company."He's gone, Young Master.""Okay. What made them fight?" Leon asked."Waiter said the two men were talking about her company going bankrupt. The woman was angry to hear it all," explained the supervisor.Leon took a deep breath. He knew his ex-wife was not well. But that was Claire's own choice. She was the one who chose to live without Leon.Claire tried to find a steady job. She couldn't survive by just working part-time at a florist and a donut shop. She was staring at her laptop, looking at job vacancy on a website."Being a receptionist?" Claire was interested in seeing a vacancy as a receptionist at a new hotel. The hotel would be opening soon, and they were looking for workers to fill each position.Without thinking much, Claire immediately sent a job application to the hotel. She kept praying that
Today was the opening day of the Jens Luxury Hotel. Leon was there to officiate the opening of the hotel. Before the event started, he got ready in his room in a presidential suite.Leon, who had finished taking a shower, wore a bathrobe and sat on the sofa facing the window. There was a beautiful view of the city from the window of the room.Claire and two waiters delivered food to Leon's room. She took a step with her heart beating fast. She was afraid that if she made a mistake in front of the young master, she would lose her job.Many women from the front office department scrambled to be in charge of delivering breakfast to the young master's room, but in the end, the manager chose Claire.Claire opened Leon's bedroom door with the cardlock she had brought. They saw the young master sitting on the sofa with his back to them. The only thing they saw were the broad and strong shoulders of the young master, covered by the bathrobe. His posture looked masculine and handsome, even fro
The grand opening event has started. Mickey's arrival made some people wonder where the son of the Jensen family, who was rumored to be attending the event, would be."Good afternoon, my name is Mickey. I'm the butler of the Jensen family, and I'm here on behalf of my master," said the butler."Huh? So he is not coming?""But the waiter said that he was already here.""Claire, didn't you deliver him some food and see him in the presidential room?" One of the receptionists looked at Claire and asked in a low voice."Yes, it's true. But I don't know why he didn't come here," whispered Claire.Meanwhile, Leon was present in the crowd of many people. Applause sounded lively as Mickey cut the ribbon as a sign that the hotel had officially opened.Claire, who was enjoying the event, accidentally saw Leon still there. "Why is he still here? What is he doing?" she muttered angrily. She walked closer to Leon and suddenly pulled his hand out of the crowd."Claire, what are you doing?" asked Leo
The butler walked towards Leon and stared at his master with unreadable eyes. Even Leon didn't know what the butler would do."I hope Mickey won't reveal my true identity," Leon muttered worriedly.Mickey looked at Leon and placed his hand on Leon's shoulder. Mickey patted his shoulder, and smiled."I don't understand why you accuse him like that? I've often ordered food, and he delivered it. So, I gifted him the glasses. He didn't steal, I gave it to him!" The butler's words took Claire by surprise. She really didn't expect it.Likewise, Leon felt so relieved that Mickey could act without the help of a scenario from him. The old man saved him this second.The people who had gathered to see the incident dispersed and left from there. Claire was taken aback by the butler's explanation. She felt ashamed that her accusations were not proven. She put Leon's glasses on the table and left without saying a word to her ex-husband."I think this is very embarrassing for her," Leon said with a
Claire threw her bag away and landed on the couch with a sigh. Reservations after the grand opening were booming, plus tempting discounts made many people want to stay at The Jens Luxury Hotel. Claire felt very tired from work today. She remembered her beautiful life in the successful era of her company. She used to shop for luxury goods at least once a week. Now, her salary as a receptionist would only be enough to support her daily life. "This is very tiring. I want to go back to how I used to be. I miss going to luxury stores and buying the bags, shoes, and jewelry that I want," Claire lamented. The sound of an incoming message notification on her cell phone caught Claire's attention. She checked her phone and saw that the message was from a number she didn't recognize. Claire read the message from the number, and instantly her eyes widened. She immediately straightened her back. "Is this real?" Claire rubbed her eyes to make sure she had not misread the message. "This person w
