After Leah managed to move her bags into her room, she changed into an oversized T-shirt and a pair
of casual jeans.
Leah preferred wearing casual outfits and would only wear formal attire when attending events with
Han.
Once she was done changing, she tied her hair up into a bun and unpacked her belongings till it was
half past noon, in which Leah decided to find something to eat for lunch.
She was eager to taste the delicacies prepared by the five-star hotel that they were staying at.
Leah walked out of her room and decided to invite Han for lunch as well after hesitating.
She rang Han’s doorbell, and after a moment, the door opened. Han was wearing a bathrobe and
looked somewhat annoyed.
After seeing that it was Leah who rang the doorbell, he raised his brows and asked, “What brings you
here?”
Leah’s face was slightly flushed.
Han seemed to have gotten out of a shower not long ago. His hair was still damp and he stood half-
naked in front of Leah. The sight of his toned figure was so seductive that Leah was caught staring at it.
Han abruptly let out a chuckle. He placed his hand onto the doorframe and leaned closer to her,
“Enjoying the view?” He asked seductively as he furrowed his brows.
Leah gulped and took a few steps back before she would lose her mind. She hurriedly asked, “Mr
Howard, I came to ask you if you would like to join me for lunch.”
Han’s eyes then showed a slight hint of regret, “Sorry but I’ve ordered room service earlier as I have
work to do.” He shook his head and declined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No worries,” Leah nodded and replied, “Goodbye Mr Howard.”
His refusal did not bother Leah much as she knew she might feel uncomfortable eating with Han too.
Although the hotel had room service, Leah wanted to go out and walk around since they had traveled
all the way to this city.
Soon, she walked towards the lift and coincidentally bumped into the room service cart. The room
attendant pushed the cart out from the lift and slowly walked past Leah.
Leah paused when she smelled a familiar scent.
Isn’t this… Mac & Cheese?!
The thought of it made her laugh. Who eats Mac & Cheese in a five-star hotel for lunch?
It was out of the ordinary to her.
Leah shook her head and took the lift down to the restaurant.
She swiftly walked to the buffet area and picked up a tray.
The wide variety of food choices in the buffet area had stimulated Leah’s hunger as she took portions
of roasted pork slices, braised chicken and more.
She even ordered a bowl of tomato soup.
As she was struggling with holding onto her tray and the bowl of soup, a clear and high-pitched sound
was heard behind her, “Excuse me!”
Leah wanted to step aside, but it was too late as she was bumped into by a stranger behind her.
It caused the plates and bowl on her tray to fall onto the ground.
“Crash!”
The plates fell onto the floor, letting out a sharp noise.
Leah stared at the dishes on the floor and could only shake her head in regret. Before she could lift her
head up, she heard a bawl, “Are you deaf? I told you to get out of the way!”
Leah frowned and looked up, seeing a lady with heavy makeup on.
She was also wearing a dress from the newest Dico September collection, rumored to be 50 thousand
dollars.
However, at this moment, her expensive dress had been covered by soup and various kinds of sauces.
“Sorry, I didn’t notice you from behind.” Leah looked down and replied apologetically.
The lady pointed angrily at her nose, “You’re blaming me then? Did you know that this dress costs 50
grand? Now, it’s ruined and you’re blaming it on me!” She scolded.
Leah shook her head and said, “I’m not blaming you. I can pay for your dress.”
“How are you going to pay me back? You look like a beggar and it probably would take you your life to
pay me back!” The lady aggressively yelled back.
Their heated argument attracted the attention of bystanders and everyone was gloating at Leah,
causing her to frown in annoyance.
How dare this woman look down on me?
Neither did she know, her simple attire and how she hurriedly took portions of food left a poor
impression for the crowd.
“Why? You looked like it’s your first time staying at a five-star hotel! Look at you trying to devour all
these dishes to yourself like a beggar!” The woman harshly commented.
Leah frowned deeper and replied, “I’ve given you my apology and am willing to pay for the dress. You
don’t have to make things worse.”
“Me? Making things worse? I simply do not care about poor beggars like you! Why? Did my words hurt
you?” The woman snickered. Her eyeliner-drawn eyes were filled with contempt.
Leah was angry to the brink.
It was her first time meeting someone so unreasonable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s enough, Yves.” Suddenly, a deep voice was heard from the back of the lady.
Leah looked behind the woman and saw a man in his thirties, walking up to them, “Let her go now.”
Yves, who was looking arrogant in the beginning, now had a child-like attitude upon seeing the man.
“Roman, but this was the dress that you’ve bought me. It’s very important to me!” She pouted.
Roman shrugged helplessly and looked at Leah, “This is my cousin, Yves. She can be a little arrogant
at times. I apologize on her behalf for any inconveniences,” he apologized.
Seeing that Roman was planning to let Leah go, she immediately felt disappointed and called out,
“Roman!”
Roman frowned lightly and said strictly, “Don’t be stubborn.”
To Yves, his words were similar to a royal decree. She would obey him no matter what.
In response, Yves glared at Leah and reluctantly said, “Get out of here then.”
Even though Leah still felt unjust from the situation, she did not want to argue any further and thanked
Roman before leaving.
After the incident, Leah was not in the mood to eat in the restaurant anymore and felt utterly
uncomfortable from everyone’s attention on her.
It was better for her to go back to her room and order room service.
As Leah took the lift up and walked past Han’s room, she froze.
She sniffed around and realized the smell of macaroni and cheese was coming out from Han’s room!
Deciding to investigate, she knocked on Han’s door. After a while, the door opened and Han appeared
in his casual wear. Confused, he asked, “What now?”
Leah looked behind him as she sniffed.
Weird, it’s not there now. Was I hallucinating?
“Nothing. Just checking in to see if you’ve eaten, Mr Howard,” Leah laughed.
