A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377 Double-Booked

Inside the car, a man dressed in a black suit ducked out of the car before standing up straight to reveal his tall figure.

His fair skin was exposed in the brief moment he ducked his head down.

He glanced at the luxury watch on his wrist with a blank yet stern face. Then, he strode into the hotel.

…

By the time Amelie got back from her meeting with the detective agency, it was already 10.00PM.

The hazy lights of this foreign land might twinkle warmly down at her, but it was not home.

She was surrounded by plenty of exquisite and luxurious shops, yet she did not stop by any of them. Instead, she headed straight into the hotel.

She got into the hotel and did not stop walking until she got to her room.

After taking out her keycard, she tapped it against the lock.

Beep! The door swung open.

As she massaged her forehead, she decided to take a shower before messaging Bria and Steven.

Just as she thought about that, she heard a clack.

She snapped her head up in shock to see a man walking out of the bathroom.

He had clearly just taken a shower as he was dressed in only a towel wrapped around his waist while his muscular body was exposed.

Drops of water slid off his black hair and down his chest before sinking into his towel.

Framed by his wet hair was his brooding, handsome, and stern face.

They both stared at each other in shock.

“Leo?” she called out in disbelief. It took her a few seconds to recognize him.

Amelie rubbed her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating. Why else would she be seeing Leo when she was in a foreign nation?

He was even in her hotel room.

She soon noticed the gray luggage bag standing near his feet.

She recognized that bag; it was the bag Leo had taken with him on business trips for years.

“Why are you in my room?” she asked with a hostile look in her eyes.

It was only then that he looked away and jerked his head at the nearby table. “I booked this room.”

“You did?” She spotted the card on the table. Immediately, several impossible guesses flashed through her mind.

She swiftly walked over to the phone to call the front desk.

Soon, the hotel manager was at the door with another employee standing beside him.

“My sincerest apologies. The new staff was careless and forgot the room had been booked out. That’s why…” The manager repeatedly apologized and bowed, along with the other employee standing beside him.

It was evident either Amelie or Leo needed to move out of this room.

As Leo booked the room before she did, she naturally was the one to move out.

Not wanting to waste more time on this matter, she grabbed her bag from the closet. “Give me a new room then.”

The bitter look on the manager’s face deepened. “My apologies, but we are fully booked. We have no vacant rooms.”

“What about other hotels?”

When the manager saw how calm and forgiving she was, he quickly contacted the other hotels.

However, after a whole round of calls, he slunk back to her with a cowering look on their face. “I’m sorry, but the nearby hotels are all booked as well.”

There was a huge event happening the next day, so all the hotels had been booked.

The manager secretly shot a glare at the employee who had made the mistake. Oh, how he hated the employee now.

What an absolutely useless fool!

Every hotel was fully booked out. How were they going to resolve this?

Anyone who could afford to stay in these rooms was people of high ranking. The hotel could not afford to make an enemy of them.

The manager’s face was pale with worry.

When Amelie heard that the hotels were all booked out, she tightly pursed her lips as her eyes went dark.

Just as the trio was staring at each other in silence, Leo cleared his throat and interrupted, “There are two rooms in this suite. We can take one each.”

The manager’s eyes lit up when he said that.

Similarly, hope was shimmering in the eyes of the employee that had turned red in terror.

The two of them turned to Amelie, waiting on her decision.

Since she was so forgiving, surely she would agree to that suggestion.

“It’s fine,” she said, rejecting the offer. “Since there are no hotels with vacant rooms, I’ll go to a hostel.”
