Leah was stunned.
‘Could it be Morrison?”
Leah walked to the door and was about to open it when she suddenly heard Morrison’s voice. “Who the hell are you?”
Immediately after that, a series of commotions came from the other side of the door in the corridor.
Leah opened the door instantly and went out, only to see Morrison seemingly trying to grab someone, but the person had fast legs.
“Morrison!” yelled Leah.
He looked back from the end of the corridor and shouted at her angrily, “You didn’t check the text that I sent you again, did you!?”
Leah, who got yelled at by him, froze in place and then asked with a somewhat dazed expression, “What text message are you talking about?”
Morrison took a deep breath and scoffed out of pure wrath. “You can throw away your cell phone if you don’t plan to use it. I sent you a text message, asking you not to open the door even when you hear a knock on the door. I think death is just not something that bothers you, huh?”
‘If I hadn’t been keeping an eye out for such an incident, I’m afraid that this woman still wouldn’t know that humans can be quite sinister.’
Leah remained silent for a while before looking back at him. “Thank you, I know now. You should go back first.”
“What?” Morrison frowned.
‘What does she mean by that? Is she really not afraid of dying, or does she really think that the security of this hotel is very reliable?’
“I said you should go back for now and have a good rest. Please don’t interfere in my affairs anymore. After saying that, Leah returned to her room.
Seeing the door close on him, Morrison stood with his arms akimbo and shouted, “Leah Younge, you really can’t tell chalk from cheese, huh? I… If I ever look out for you again, I’ll deem myself a loser!”
He patted his coat angrily and left.
Leah, who was leaning against the door, heard Morrison’s footsteps diminishing, thought of something, and buckled the latch of the door immediately.
She then took a newspaper from the newspaper rack, folded it, and inserted it into the door’s crack. Later that night, when Leah was asleep, she heard the door being unlocked using a card key, but the trespasser could not push the door in because of the deadbolt.
Thus, the person closed the door and left.
Leah sat up and turned on the bedside lamp. She went to the living room, turned on the light, and found out that the newspaper she had stuck in the crack of the door had already fallen to the floor.
The next day, Leah went to the front desk, asking to go through the surveillance of the corridor.
The receptionist working at the front desk gave off an embarrassed look and apologized. “I’m sorry, Ms.
Younge, but we don’t have the right to pull surveillance footage.”
“Then the person in charge of your department should have the right to do so already, right? Get me your manager.”
The receptionist summoned their manager, and the manager stepped out of his office and asked, “ Excuse me, miss, is there anything that we can do for you?”
“Someone tried to open the door to my room with a card key last night. I think you should let me take a look at the surveillance footage and give me an explanation. No matter what, I’m still a guest who’s currently staying in this hotel. Hence, I don’t think this hotel’s management would ignore its guests’ personal safety, right?”
The manager was stunned. “Did that really happen? If it’s true, then we’ll definitely look into the matter.”
Leah narrowed her eyes. “The front desk should also be the department that’s in charge of the spare card keys, right? If that’s the case, I want to know if the staff on duty last night have ever used the spare card key of my room. Who else had access to that room card last night?”
The manager immediately asked the front desk staff who was on duty last night, and the staff claimed that they had indeed used the card key and admitted that they had gone to the wrong room.
The manager reprimanded him angrily, “How can you unlock the door to the wrong room!? What if our guest were to suffer any loss? Do you think you can really afford to make such a mistake?” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
The receptionist on duty kept apologizing.
The manager then looked at Leah with a grin. “I’m really sorry. The incident was caused by one of our employees’ negligence. We can upgrade your room to a free business suite, and to express our
apology, we’ll also give you two coupons and a breakfast coupon for free. What do you think about this compensation?”
Leah took a glance at the receptionist on duty. He kept his head down and tightly grasped his hands in front of him as if extremely nervous.
She then retracted her gaze. “There’s no need for that. Just check me out for now.”
Leah walked out of the hotel with her luggage.
The manager followed her along the way to send her off and kept explaining, “Ms. Younge, I’m really sorry about what happened. It’s our negligence this time around, and I’m sorry that it’s provided you with an unpleasant stay. How about this? We’ll give you a 30% discount the next time you decide to book a stay with us!”
