Chapter 287 - Almost died (1/2)

The man raised his hand and was about to hit Aleksis but the girl quickly held his hand in the air.

”Eh... you? Don't be impudent... We are guests here!” the man exclaimed.

”It's common courtesy that all guests should respect the hosts!” Aleksis retorted. ”If you want to hit me, I will report you to my boss and...”

”Laura! Why are you creating such a fuss!”

Suddenly, an angry voice broke the crowd's attention. It was Terry, who came at the right time and was quick-minded by pretending to be a waiter supervisor. He immediately pulled Aleksis and pushed her behind his back. He then bowed many times.

”Forgive my subordinates, she is still new... I will give her a harsh warning. Please, continue your event... excuse us.”

He quickly pulled Aleksis' hand toward the bathroom, leaving the group of guests who quickly forgot about the incident.

”Jeez... why are you always looking for trouble...” Terry grumbled when they were in the bathroom. He hurriedly took off his upper uniform. Now he only wore a t-shirt and no longer looked like a waiter. ”We should go home. I already got a little information from the female visitors who surrounded me. I also need to prepare my video presentation...”

Ah, no wonder Terry couldn't be contacted. He was surrounded by female guests.

”Ouch... I was just about to get information,” complained Aleksis. ”If that jerk hadn't provoked me, I would not have been so upset...”

”Ugh... now what? You've drawn too much attention...” Terry said worriedly.

”That's right. You go home first, I'll go back to the penthouse over the wall,” said Aleksis finally, relenting.

”All right. Don't linger here for too long. We will meet tomorrow after I finish my presentation to exchange information, all right?”

”Okay.”

After Terry left, Aleksis tiptoed toward the dark spot where the wall was located. She did not want to go straight back to the penthouse. She wanted to find an excuse to sit and chat with the masked man who had helped her earlier.

I hope he's still there, she thought.

After arriving at the dark place where she last left the man, Aleksis became disappointed. The masked man was not there anymore. All there was was empty bottles of wine and the used glass on the table next to the chair. Ugh, it would probably be nice to talk to him since he was so friendly, thought Aleksis.
