In a hurry, Charles Mu and Paul went directly to the hotel.
When they arrived at the hotel, they were stopped?at the gate by the hotel manager.
"What can I do for you, Young Master Mu?" asked the manager, wearing a wide smile on his face.
Charles Mu seemed annoyed. Xinyi Hotel wasn't a place where decent women went. What was she doing here? 'She should have behaved herself even if she's not the real Linda Xia.
It would bring disgrace to the family if she's seen in such a place, ' thought Charles.
The manager backed off when he saw Charles's grim face. "Lady Linda is in the hotel, and we're here to fetch her. Did you see her?" explained Paul immediately.
"May I ask what she looks like? So we can help look for her..."
Asked the manager, still putting on a fake smile.
He had been ordered to stall them off. Even though he had seen her before, he had to ask these questions and delay them.
"You mean you don't know her?"
Paul's face fell. Everyone in the SH city should have known her.
Charles and Linda's engagement had been a significant event, several times more popular than any movie premiere.
Paul was getting impatient. He was about to blow up at the manager, but Charles stopped him. They had to restrain themselves at this crucial moment.
"Show him her picture, " said Charles.
A picture should be enough for the manager to recognize her!
He would like to see what the woman had been up to. Was she cheating on him?
If that was the case, he would be pleased to dispose of her as soon as possible.
Since the sisters had the same look now, Paul showed the manager Linda's picture. Paul would never keep Lisa Xia's picture in his phone;
The only picture of a woman in his phone was Linda.
The manager didn't expect that they would actually have her picture. He was beginning to feel alarmed. He had been ordered to stall them until further instructions came. While he was hesitating, a voice came from his intercom, "Take them to the cafeteria on the third floor. Lady Linda is dining there."
The manager was relieved and said, "Oh, she's Lady Linda! No wonder she looked familiar. She is in the cafeteria on the third floor. Today is the first day of our Upscale Seafood Buffet. Lady Linda must have received our invitation and came."
Charles strode into the hotel before the manager could finish his words. He didn't take the lift, but instead, he went straight for the stairs.
It was a five-star hotel, so the interior of the building was rather luxurious.
The cafeteria hall was exquisitely decorated with European accents.
