The phone rang several times before Clara answered the phone.
"Rae, what's wrong? Are you drunk?" Clara was very concerned about Raelynn's health. After all, she had drunk a lot last night.
She had been very worried since she didn't escort Raelynn to the hotel room.
Raelynn just smiled sardonically. She had been more than drunk. She almost ruined herself.
She could not blame Clara for that. With Mr. Hansen in trouble, Clara had been fraught with anxiety.
"Clara, I'm fine. Is Mr. Hansen feeling better?" Raelynn remembered that Clara left because she received a call from Mr. Hansen.
That was why she hurriedly called Clara.
"Rae, my father is fine. He just fell on his leg and pulled his ligament. At that time, a passerby called an ambulance which sent him to the hospital. My mother didn't understand the situation fully and was really worked up, so I was anxious then. I was worried about you all night. I can rest assured now since you've arrived at the hotel safely." Although it was a mere distance of 500 meters, it was also possible for a drunk person to go to the wrong place.
It wasn't like such a situation had never happened before.
Raelynn would occasionally act recklessly when she was drunk.
Raelynn smiled and said, "Yes, I'm back at the hotel safe and sound. You don't have to worry about me. Take good care of Mr. Hansen."
"Well, as long as you're safe, I'm relieved. Since you get off work soon, do you want to go out for dinner?"
Raelynn said, "I'm not going out for the time being. I feel a little unwell after getting drunk last night. I'll go back to the hotel to rest first. Tomorrow, I'll go to the new place to take a look. I need to buy some bits and bobs too."
Clara replied, "Okay. My father will be discharged from the hospital today. He can go back home and rest for a while before continuing to work. If you need any help, you must tell me."
Raelynn was very grateful that she had such a good friend. No matter the time or occasion, she always had her in her thoughts.
"Alright, Clara!"
They chatted for a while before ending the call.
Raelynn felt sore all over, although she got enough sleep. She had nothing to do and did not want to work, so she got up and went to the bathroom. After filling the bathtub, she lay inside and sighed comfortably. She looked up at the brilliant crystal chandelier above her head.
Raelynn had to sigh again. Being rich was a wonderful thing!
Raelynn's mind drifted from thought to thought. The feeling of water on her skin was too comfortable, washing the aches and pain away.
Gradually, she fell asleep again. It was not until the doorbell for dinner rang that she was awakened.
Raelynn suddenly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. She had just had a dream. She dreamed that Kenneth was standing beside the bathroom and gently calling her, "Rae, wake up, quick, wake up!"
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the doorbell ringing.
The water had already turned cold. She was completely awake by then. Raelynn had missed him all day and even met him in her dream. It was as though she was poisoned fatally with the toxin known as Kenneth.
Raelynn got up, quickly put on her bathrobe, and went to open the door. At the door, two waiters were pushing two small dining carts outside.
Raelynn looked at them apologetically. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Come in."
"It's alright."
The two waiters pushed the trolleys forward with a smile on their faces, and laid all the food out on the table.
They said, still smiling "Miss Edwards, this is a feast of lobster. Enjoy your meal!"
Raelynn glanced at the fare and realized that she would not be able to finish everything herself.
"Thank you! But can you give me some takeaway boxes? I can't eat so much food alone. I want to take some back and share it with my family. Can you pack some of the specialties here too? Enough for three people."
One waiter said, "Of course, Miss Edwards. Please wait for a moment. We'll prepare everything right away."
"Thank you!" Raelynn turned around and took her phone to make a call in the room.
"Raelynn, have you returned to the hotel after work?" Ryder asked happily.
"Yes. Ryder, have you eaten yet?"
Ryder replied, "Nope. Mom and I just moved some things over and tidied up. We're just heading out to eat. Have you eaten?"
