Chapter 910 - Commotion On The Rooftop (1/2)
[I'm waiting at the building rooftop]
Nicolae sent an SMS to Larkin so that the man would meet him in a place that was big enough but still remained private.
From the 40th floor, people could directly go up to the roof. There was a helipad and a small garden there. Nicolae asked Marie to remain in the penthouse and not show herself even though she felt worried.
”Mischa, they are coming. I'm waiting for them at the rooftop,” Nicolae said as he stepped into the elevator.
”I'll be there soon,” Mischa replied. He then took two of his favorite pistols and inserted them behind his belt. He got out of his suit and immediately walked to the elevator.
When the elevator door opened, two beautiful girls stared at him with admiration. Both of them then whispered while glancing at him.
Subconsciously, they tidied their hair and clothes, hoping that the man in black would notice them.
Unfortunately, Mischa paid them no heed. He got into the elevator and pressed the 40th-floor button. While waiting for the elevator to go to the floor he wanted, the man rolled up his sleeves and stood upright like a statue.
There was a melancholy in his figure that fascinated the two girls even more. In their hearts, they hoped that the elevator would move very slowly or that time would stop so they could linger and enjoyed the beautiful sight in front of them longer.
Unfortunately, the elevator soon arrived on the 35th floor, their destination. The two girls reluctantly stepped out. When one looked back to see the handsome man again before the elevator door closed, she gasped and almost stumbled.
”What happened?” asked her friend, worriedly.
The other girl had just seen Mischa draw a gun from under his suit and looked up with a ruthless expression.
”That man... he--he had a gun,” the girl whispered in terror. Her face immediately went pale and cold sweat trickled down her temples. She had never been this close to someone carrying a weapon before, so today's experience shocked her to the core.
”That person wants to go to the 40th floor ...” said her friend anxiously. ”Shouldn't we report it to hotel security?”
”We should. So they can get ready when the shooting starts.”
Both of them returned to the elevator and waited for the elevator to open and immediately descended into the lobby. Hurriedly, they ran to the receptionist and reported that they saw an armed man ascending to the 40th floor.
Marion, who had just arrived from the outside, listened to the two girls because she had very sharp ears. Her forehead frowned and she immediately called Nicolae.
”Hey ... I heard that some armed men are heading to the 40th floor. Are you in danger?” she asked. Nicolae told her briefly about Larkin and asked Marion not to worry.
”Hmm ... Mischa is with you, so of course, I'm not worried. But I'm afraid this hotel's reputation will be affected.” She thought quickly and then walked towards the receptionist. ”Hey, let me take care of this.”
”Please send someone to check,” one of the girls told the receptionist with an anxious expression.
”Ahem ... excuse me, Ladies.” Marion approached them and smiled kindly. She signaled to the receptionist to let her handle this problem. They knew her as a relative of the hotel owner and smiled back, letting Marion take over.
”Who are you?” asked one of the girls in astonishment.
”Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Marion Van Sant, I'm the head of security at this hotel. The man you saw is my man. He is going to check the situation on the rooftop. You don't need to worry,” Marion said with a happy face and half laughing. Her attitude was so relaxed that the two girls looked at each other.
Ahh .. apparently they were mistaken. Actually, one of them felt suspicious because Marion claimed to be the head of hotel security, even though she was a woman and very beautiful. Could this woman really be the head of security?
