17 Oxford Hotel (2/2)
Oxford Hotel is a five stars hotel located in Beverly Hills area.
It is also the most expensive hotel ever built, costing billions of dollar. Only the wealthiest stays there during their leisure or business visit to Los Angeles. This is because the hotel offers everything a person might need, from escorts to entertainments.
Even assassination contract is not off the table, according to some inside sources. As long as one has the money, the hotel can provide.
The room at the hotel is not cheap. A single standard room on the lower level still costs an upward of $10,000 a single night. Sound a lot, but a chump change to many.
Many business men have spend millions at the hotel during their visit to Hollywood.
Henry Oxford has been very busy building his business empire while taking care of Chrono Holdings and its subsidiaries.
I didn't say that he couldn't, but I did warn him sternly that his companies should never ever go againstme and the cause. If he did, I will not hesitate to destroy his company.
The drive to the hotel is very relaxing.
No one talks through the whole time.
Halley keeps on fidgeting her fingers, preparing herself restlessly while the driver keeps looking at her in the rear-view mirror. This is because of her ragged clothes and messy hair.
She is a homeless person after all. She hasn't taken a bath in a while.
I pay the taxi and tip him handsomely when we reach the front of the hotel. The people there look at the both of us strangely.
This is because no one really go to the hotel by taxi. They all have their own limousine or one will be provided to them by the hotel.
”Sir. Tourists are not allowed to take pictures here.”
I look at the doorman before paying attention to Halle. The young woman just stare at the hotel, trying to see the top. It is one of the tallest building in Los Angeles, reaching over a hundred floors.
”Sir! Please leave or I will be force to remove you from the premises.”
The doorman continues.
”I am not a tourist. I am here on business. Please don't lag behind, Halle.”
I tell her and begin heading inside.
The doorman immediately tries to stop me by placing a firm hand on my shoulder. For his effort, he gets the best shock of his life – literally.
The receptionist is worst. She pays no attention to me since I do not look like any wealthy person she had ever seen.
She takes one look at Halle and the distain expression on her face couldn't be removed.
”I am sorry, but you are not allow here. Security!”
I place a stack of cash onto the counter, right in front of the woman.
It is all I have left on me. I could get more from the ATM in the lobby, but that machine wouldn't have the necessary funding to rent the penthouse.
I suppose I should call Henry, but I want to know what this woman is thinking.
”And why not, Miss Jasmine? We are paying customers, so why can't we be here?”
Jasmine looks at the stack before snickering. It isn't even enough for a single night in a standard room. At most, it could only be a few hours. Since that is the case, she believes that I am here for that.
While that is true, I am here for other stuffs as well.
”You may, but she can't. I am sorry, but I will have to ask her to leave.”
Jasmine tells me and call for security. Shield Security personnel immediate arrives.
”Is that so? Is it because the way she dresses or is it because she is black?”
I question. Everyone nearby peaks their head and take a look at me and Halle.
”I don't have to answer that. Please evict these two from the premise. They are causing troubles.”
Jasmine requests.
People from Shield Security approaches me as I turn to look at them. The moment they saw my face, they becomes incredibly pale. They obviously know who I am since all Shield members are part of my organizations.
”Right. Evict me. I won't resist. Come on, go ahead.”
