After her employer left, Adeline was free now, she took a nap in her room in the morning, and around 10am, she went down to the employee cafeteria for lunch.
To arrange meal times and breaks with guests, the hotel usually starts lunch at 10 am in advance. Dinner is at 4pm, and there is an evening snack at 8pm.
When Adeline came to the dining room, she saw a lot of people. As usual, he rushed to the place to grab his food. He noticed that many people were giving strange looks to him and whispering to each other.
What the hell's going on? Is he wearing the wrong clothes? She looked down at her work clothes out of curiosity. He's pretty neat. Nothing special. After dinner, he turned to look for a seat, he saw that not far from it, Becky waved at him.
“Adeline, come here.” Seeing that, Adeline immediately walked towards him.
”Becky , are you on shift today? "Becky pulled him aside, and looked at the people around him.
" Er ..ayo go, Adeline. Let's get out of here and eat out. The air outside is better. "
Adeline could sense that she was suggesting something, so she nodded and followed her to the balcony. After sitting next to the flower bed on the terrace, Adeline asked.
"What happened today? Why do I feel like everyone is looking at me? What's going on ?"
"Didn't you know? Now, news has spread throughout the hotel that you tried to seduce Mr. Spencer, but were rejected. "Said Becky.
" What? "After Adeline heard this, she stood up angrily. The plate in his hand fell down and both of his hands clenched. He asked with clenched teeth.
"Who said this?"
"I don't know the details, but the first time I heard from Bob from the Stewardship Department. Adeline, could it be that Fannie is jealous that you could serve Mr Spencer, so she started the rumor? I know better than anyone else that Mr. Spencer is very kind to you. If you really wanted to lure him, how could he reject you? " Becky said angrily.
" Fannies? "Adeline remembers that they met in the elevator yesterday.
Fannie thought she cried yesterday, and mistakenly thought there was some sort of connection between her and Harrison. Fannie is very smart. He deliberately makes a rumor that he was the one who seduced Harrison, but Harrison rejects it. So, even if Harrison heard it, he wouldn't say anything.However, in this incident, he was the only one whose reputation had been tarnished, while Harrison was described as a victim of abuse. No one wants to talk about him.
"Becky, listen, between me and Mr. Spencer, we're just customers and butlers. He took care of me, and I just treated him as my guest. You can't make cheap gossip either, okay? " He warned Becky with a serious expression.
Looking at his serious looks, Becky naturally did not dare to take it for granted anymore. He just nodded his head heavily and said.
"Adeline, relax. I promise you that I won't talk carelessly."
"alright. Enjoy your meal. I have to go first." After Adeline said this, without waiting for Becky to react, she turned around and walked back.
Fannie really thought that this was a gentle touch, didn't she? He dared to spread rumors outside to humiliate her. Today, he would tell her that she, Adeline, was not someone who could be intimidated easily!
He took the elevator to the office on the fifth floor. Adeline went straight to the Steward Department. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fannie talking gossip to Abbey, who was the deputy manager of the financial department's doorman department.
They laugh happily. "Frankly, I always thought that Mr. Spencer liked her and decided to make her his butler. But when I saw him crying in the elevator yesterday, I realized that Mr. Spencer got him into trouble, which he deserved. He had a wish that he would be able to get rich by hooking Mr. Spencer ... "
"It's hard to believe. He usually looks innocent and indifferent. But he was just pretending. In fact, she's a simple girl." Abbey commented with a derogatory look, echoing Fannie's view.
As Adeline heard the conversation between them, she trembled in anger.
"Fannie!" He shouted out loudly and walked towards her.
“Better you explain when I tease Mr Spencer?” Adeline's sudden arrival scares the two people who are talking nonsense, but Fannie has been a housekeeper for years, and she has dealt with it. a lot of people are harder. So, when facing Adeline, she calmed down quickly, and asked.
"Miss Miller, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"Stop pretending. I heard what you said just now. I really didn't expect you to do it. Be such a despicable person with such filthy thoughts. Do you think all the servants who have served the rich want to be rich? " Adeline said emotionally.
Fannie wasn't afraid of him. She resents the fact that Adeline replaced her as housekeeper in the presidential room. Later, Adeline wants to let her be Harrison's butler, who, however, has rejected Fani. The repeated blows made him feel humiliated. He just wants revenge on Adeline.
Abbey, who was at the side, saw them fighting. She was afraid that Adeline would get out of control, so she hurriedly advised Fannie.
"Fannie, forget it. Don't argue anymore. If someone else sees you two fighting like this, you're the one who's gonna lose."
"Abbey, you're right. . I shouldn't have argued with him, after all he had connections. The wealthy businessman even invited him to go out to sea and play cards with him. I'm afraid that if I talk to him then his rich lover could make me lose my job."
Fannie's tone of voice was filled with ridicule.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I play cards at sea?" After Adeline heard this, she was stunned. How did Fannie know she went out to sea yesterday and played cards? Isn't that just kept between him, Harrison and Nell? Everyone who was present yesterday had nothing to do with the hotel.
" Do you still want to deny it? Your photo made newspaper headlines. " Fannie looked at him with a face full of ridicule, and continued to mock.
"However, there is a curse on you. Whoever meets you gets into trouble, so does your caravan."
Adeline was completely dumbfounded. What exactly is going on? Why did it become the headlines?
"What are you arguing about here?" As the two get into a heated argument, Damon exits the General Manager's Office and yells at them.
"Mr Pope, I don't want to fight with him, but he ran here to fight with me ... "Fannie was the first to complain, pointing towards Adeline. Adeline's mind was filled with headlines. He was in no longer interested in caring about the quarrel with Fannie, so he turned around and ran away.
"Miss Miller, where are you going?" Seeing that, Damon shouted behind him, Adeline did not listen to him, instead she rushed out of the office, got into the elevator and directly rushed into the Presidential Suite room. After entering the room, he locked the door, pulled out his phone.with trembling hands, and opened the news page. The most eye-catching page has a picture of him playing cards with two strange men in Harrison's name. How can this be? Who took this photo? He studied the photo closely, and suddenly realized that the angle of the shot corresponded to the angle at which Harrison had looked at it yesterday. When they were playing cards yesterday morning, he remembered that Harrison was sitting next to him playing with his cell phone.
So, Adeline doubts that she has taken the photo in secret. But did he really do it? Why would he do that?
New York City, Spencer Mansion in the Lake Villa District. The heavy electric gate opened slowly, and a black Porsche drove at an extremely fast speed, steadily stopped in front of the villa as grandly as the castle The old housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time. After the car stopped, he stepped forward quickly, opened the back door, and a tall, sturdy figure walked out of the car.
"Mr Harrison, you're finally here. A very long journey." The old housekeeper opened the door respectfully.
"How's grandpa doing?" Harrison took off his jacket, and the old butler immediately accepted it. As he walked, he answered.
"He was much better, and now he's out of danger. The doctor said that since Master Sawyer had advanced, his heart could not accept this kind of stimulation"
"I'll go upstairs and see him."
After Harrison entered the room, he headed straight for the 2nd floor. In a room to the east decorated with an antique design, an old man was lying on the bed quietly. He was given an infusion, and a nurse was watching him. Harrison pushed the door and entered, and the nurse immediately advanced.
"Mr Spencer, you're back."
"How long has Grandpa been sleeping?" Harrison looked at the old man on the bed and asked. The nurse raised her hand, looked at the watch and answered.
"It's only been about ten minutes. Do you want to talk to him?"
"No, let him rest well first and call me when he wakes up. " Harrison waved his hand, walked over to the bedside and pulled out a blanket to cover the old man's chest, then he turned around and left.
As she exited her room, Nell walked up with her phone.
"Boss, did you know that Mr. Sawyer's heart attack was caused by Second Master. "
" What's going on? " Harrison's expression turned cold. Nell looked around, whispering in Harrison's ear. Then Harrison got angry.
"How dare he have this idea.”
“It must have been planned a long time ago. He takes action after you leave. However, fortunately, she was captured by the Eldest Mistress, which was why she did not succeed. I can't believe what would happen if Second Master actually stole the seal from Mr. Sawyer. " Nell sighed.
