Chapter 178: Overhearing the Inside Story!
After exiting the elevator, Athena’s heart was still pounding. What would she do if the logistics department’s surveillance personnel saw her! Her heart was truly racing!
She absentmindedly patrolled the VIP guest rooms. It was unusually quiet today, with hardly anyone coming and going in the corridor. Perhaps everyone had gone for a sauna or a swim!
Continuing her patrol, as soon as she turned a corner, she saw Situ Haonan leading a man who looked American out of a VIP guest room. They looked very secretive. Her intuition told her it must be related to what she had overheard in the stairwell!
She absolutely would not let this old fox harm Ji Xiangyu.
After they walked away, Athena used her position to take out a VIP room card. After looking around, she quietly swiped the card and entered!
This was a simple presidential suite. Apart from the hotel’s furnishings, there was nothing special in the living room! She then went to the bedroom and pushed open the door. A faint scent of mint, exclusive to the hotel, wafted towards her. However, what was puzzling was why there was no luggage here at all!?
Athena was unwilling to give up and continued searching. She didn’t believe she couldn’t find anything. She opened the wardrobe and searched carefully, but still found nothing!
Who was it? And why was he being so secretive with Situ Haonan?
Athena looked around but ultimately found nothing unusual. Just as she was about to leave, before she could even exit the bedroom, she heard the door being opened from the outside.
She cried out that it was bad, they were back! What should she do?
She had nowhere to escape, so she hid in the wardrobe. Fortunately, the wardrobe here was made of solid rosewood and had ventilation holes, otherwise she would have really suffocated!
She heard the bedroom door being pushed open. Through the ventilation hole, she saw a familiar figure!
Her heart skipped a beat. Why did Ji Xiangyu come in? Did he also know about this secret? Who told him?
Athena remained silent. She also had questions and wanted to see why Ji Xiangyu had come here!
Like Athena, Ji Xiangyu began looking around as soon as he entered, searching for something. After finding nothing, he started installing black listening devices in different places!
Athena inwardly cried out: If our Chairman is discovered doing this, he’ll be arrested! Please, don’t get caught!
He had only installed half of them when there was another sound from the outer door!
Oh no, this time it’s really the owner returning!
Ji Xiangyu also noticed. He scanned the entire room, and his target locked onto the wardrobe!
Athena watched Ji Xiangyu walk over, inwardly exclaiming: Oh my god!
Ji Xiangyu pulled open the wardrobe door and saw Athena. He looked at her in surprise, raised an eyebrow, and mouthed: What are you doing here!?
Athena awkwardly extended her hand to greet him, silently saying: Same as the Chairman!
Athena moved further inside, making room for Ji Xiangyu to squeeze in. The originally not-so-large wardrobe instantly became even more cramped, and she was completely enveloped by Ji Xiangyu’s breath!
Ji Xiangyu also felt the pressure, especially since they had just shared a passionate moment in the elevator not long ago. Uh, his eyes followed Athena’s head to her tender lips!
He suddenly had a strong urge to cup Athena’s chin and savor her taste!
However, this thought caused his body temperature to rise instantly, and his breathing became rapid!
Athena reached out and touched his chin. There was new stubble there, which felt very comfortable and not prickly!
Ji Xiangyu quickly grabbed Athena’s hand and whispered in her ear: Don’t test me!
Athena immediately stopped her actions because, at that moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, and two people walked in, talking!
“Mr. Edward, I’ll be counting on you for this matter!”
That tone was unmistakably Situ Haonan’s!
Edward? Isn’t that the notorious financial speculator? As expected, this old fox is plotting to resell the hotel!
Athena glanced at Ji Xiangyu through her eyelashes. He didn’t seem particularly surprised, as if he already knew about this. However, Athena was still very worried about Ji Xiangyu!
“Mr. Situ, are you sure about the hotel matter? Once it’s successfully transferred, you won’t be able to get it back!” Edward reminded him!
Situ Haonan already had a countermeasure and didn’t care!
“Mr. Edward, don’t worry, I’m prepared! I guarantee it’s foolproof!”
Edward asked curiously, “The Holy Courtyard Hotel is operating well, and its performance is among the best in the industry. Why would Mr. Situ want to transfer it? The profits here far exceed what you’d get from reselling it!!”
Ji Xiangyu and Athena, hidden in the wardrobe, also had some of these questions. Why would Situ Haonan do this? What was it all for?
