This is the question Gerald asked as he looked to the manager.
The manager just smiled apologetically before saying, “I've met you once in the chamber of commerce, Mr. Crawford's. Also, your older sister, CEO Jessica Crawford, has given me a lot of attention in the past! It's impossible for me not to know who you are! ”
“Huh! Stop trying to make a show here, Gerald! Literally everyone at Mayberry involved in the business field should at least respect you! We know you're both on the same side! Why is the surveillance system broken now? Don't you think this is too coincidental?” melissa said somewhat angrily in a loud voice.
At that moment, several other people who were staying over had walked out of their rooms to see what commotion was going on. Not long after that the floor hallways became crowded. Soon after, the gossip started as well.
"What the hell is going on?"
“It seems some rich heiress saw a drunk girl and dragged her into a room. Thank goodness the girl's cousin managed to stop her before she could catch him! But really, how evil he is!”
“Yes God, and here I think I can only watch such things on television! I can't believe it happens in real life either! It's disgusting!"
As the discussion progressed, some nosy people even contacted the news hotline.
While all that was happening, Jonah was eating with Giya on the third floor of the hotel. Mayberry Grand Hotel is a hotel that prides itself on entertainment, recreation and dining experiences.
The two were currently sitting in a restaurant that looked extremely majestic. Despite that, Giya only ate a few mouthfuls of her food.
At that moment, a group of customers entered the restaurant. After sitting at the table beside the two, they began to discuss what was happening upstairs.
“Hey, have you heard? Something big is going on on the seventh floor!”
After listening to the pieces of what they said, Jonah took a sip of his red wine before saying, “Why are there so many bad and dirty people in the world.” He then proceeded to smile subtly.
Giya on the other hand, frowned slightly.
“So what happened after that? Are they still arguing about that? Actually wait, who is the rich man in question?”
“I heard he is someone who is very influential and powerful! I'm not too sure, but some people say that it's Mr. Crawford himself!” said one of the people sitting.
"What's? Mr Crawford? That's impossible, isn't it?”
“Yeah, of course! Why would he even do such a thing?” giya shouted suddenly as she looked at the people sitting next to them.
"…Huh? Why are you angry with us? We're just talking about what we heard. If you want to be sure, just go upstairs and check it out for yourself! ” answer another man.
“He's a bit handsome, but still, he's doing something very unwise! I heard some of them call him Gerald or something. I say he must be Mr Crawford!”
Upon hearing Gerald's name, Giya's body trembled slightly.
“What... What did you say? What's name?” giya asked while standing up.
“G-Gerald!” replied the person beside him, slightly intimidated.
"…That's impossible. That would be impossible!” giya said in great disbelief.
When he saw some people heading up, perhaps to catch a glimpse of the scene, Giya also ran to the seventh floor.
Jonah only smiled bitterly when he saw his departure. As he took another sip of red wine, he pulled out his phone and called. "You can go upstairs now!"
After that, he also started to climb the building.
“Soaring, please! We're reporters!”
At that moment, the seventh floor was getting noisy.
The ones who shouted were reporters from Mayberry News, and they were currently rushing towards the scene. With any luck, the incident would make headlines for the newspapers the next day.
Gerald himself was surrounded by several people. He had no means to defend himself or any logical way to explain his situation.
Giya on the other hand, had just arrived on the scene and she took a step back in disbelief as she looked at Gerald.
“It.... That's impossible! This doesn't make any sense! Gerald isn't that kind of person!” murmured Giya slowly to herself.
"Impossible? He's right there! Caught wet! He had tried to do something inappropriate to a drunk girl and even his victims said that he was the culprit!” reply one of the guests who heard Giya's comment.
“Lisa? Why are you here? What's going on?"
The voice came from Jonah who was looking at Melissa as she approached the scene. Behind him, there was a group of bodyguards.
“...Eh? Jonah? I'm so glad that you're here! This is Sister Owens! Something has happened to him!”
