"I am so sorry, Miss! I can only follow the orders of my boss and Mr. Greg. As for others' order, I may or may not obey," responded the assistant righteously. She was not afraid at all because she knew that if she did not obey her boss's order then something wrong would happen. Since she knew her boss was supporting her, she had nothing to be afraid.
Cassie controlled her anger and supported Greg while she made him lie down on the sofa. When she saw that Greg had fallen asleep, Cassie rose up and walked towards the assistant.
Standing in front of her, in a fierce tone, Cassie said,"Though this room was reserved by your boss for Greg, now we have checked in and we do not need any more service at the moment. Please don't interrupt us and just leave, okay?"
She emphasized?the?last three words, all the while staring at the assistant.
The assistant gave her a soft smile and in a relaxed manner, said,"Miss, I think I have told you before that I will only follow my boss' order. And in this room, I will only follow Mr. Greg's order since he is our VIP guest. As for you, I am sorry I don't know you and I have never seen you before, so I cannot entertain your orders."
"How dare you?" Cassie tried to control?her?anger, but she knew she could not do anything to this assistant.
Both of them stared at each other, their tempers flaring.
Just at that moment, the doorbell rang and the assistant heaved a sigh of relief. She immediately turned back and rushed to open the door.
When she opened the door, she found that it was not Tim, but a waiter who was carrying a bowl of sober-up tea for Greg.
She soon realized that the lobby manager was here to help her handle the situation tactfully.
"Is this the sober-up tea for Mr. Greg?" The assistant pretended to raise her voice while asking the waiter.
"Yes," he replied promptly.
"Okay, come on in!" She asked the waiter to bring the sober-up tea inside.
Seeing the scene, Cassie was surprised and confused, not knowing what was actually happening in the room. All her plans seemed to have gone for a toss.
"What... what are you doing here?" It was difficult for Cassie to keep her anger in control now.
"Hello, Miss. We saw that Mr. Greg was drunk and had nearly passed out, so we brought him the sober-up tea," replied the waiter respectfully.
"There is no need! You all go out! He will be sober after taking a shower and he doesn't need the sober-up tea," Cassie immediately declined. She now was a little anxious because Greg would be sober if they were still delaying the time. Until then, he would certainly ask her to leave and she would have no chance to be so close with Greg. Thus, she wouldn't achieve her goal! Her original plan had already been disrupted by checking in the presidential suite without using her own ID card and if her plan was changed again, she had no idea what the consequences would be.
