Chapter 3 A Girl In His Heart (2/2)
Leena clenched her fists, a smile threatening to burst into her lips. ”Who is he waiting for?”
He heaved a sigh. ”He's looking for his beloved. In fact, he has already gone through great lengths trying to find her.”
When they walked into the room together, Miguel had already fallen asleep on the sofa. No matter how rowdy it got, he still wouldn't wake up. He must've drunk a lot. Standing by his side, Leena's hands trembled. 'Are you really looking for me? Are you? Do you like me? On Valentine's Day, when you gave me that chocolate box, did you do it because you love me?'
However even then, her feelings could only be suppressed in her heart and mind no matter how much she wanted to ask him. They were in two different worlds now. They couldn't be together.
Before Carlson checked out of the hotel, he asked Leena to see him off. She hurried towards him, bowing her head. ”We hope to see you again, Mr. Carlson!”
Carlson was incredibly handsome, especially when he was tipsy. Although the way he looked would have made other women go crazy, it did nothing to Leena. ”Will you really not go out with me, Miss Yang?” he insisted.
She laughed in reply. ”You're flattering me too much, Mr. Carlson. I don't deserve you.”
”You'll be willing one day,” he said.
The smile on Leena's face froze as Carlson stepped closer. ”Don't play hard to get next time, all right?” he whispered before walking off.
From her gut feeling, the man wasn't joking around. Although he was smiling, Leena knew the threat lying underneath his gaze. However, she held herself. As she was working for the hotel, she needed to deal with these types of situations.
It was a very dangerous job, especially at the Heaven Hotel, where she met a variety of guests. If she was being targeted, terrible consequences would lie ahead. Leena thought she was very smooth with all the touchy guests. She kept a healthy balance between buttering them up and keeping their distance. However, Carlson just wouldn't quit it!
Even as she got off work, she couldn't help but think on what he was planning to do. As she walked out of the hotel, she returned back to her haggard state. She wore a pair of casual sneakers as she held her bag tightly in her arms. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and her beautiful face was hidden by black rimmed glasses. Anyone who glanced at her wouldn't recognize her as Director Yang, but even then, she felt as if someone was following her.
From the man's actions and footsteps, she could tell that he was an expert at hiding himself. Many people would've fallen for his tricks, but Leena wasn't anyone. She had been in the hotel business for too long, that she was always vigilant with her surroundings.
At the entrance of the restroom, Leena quickly dialed her best friend – her college classmate, Rena, who would be picking her up. Rena's family was rich, so she had her own car. Besides, she was also the only one who knew her secret. Every time Leena got herself into trouble, Rena was the first one she'd call.
As she headed inside the washroom, she bumped into someone. Leena was about to apologize, but she stopped herself when she saw who the man was. It was Miguel. He stopped as well, gazing at her as if he was looking at a long lost friend. And, maybe she was.
