"Oh, you can give that to me. Thank you." Cassie accepted the tray from him and expressed her thanks.
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure. By the way, the gentleman who booked the breakfast also said that if you still felt uncomfortable, you could stay here to rest. He would arrange a sick leave for you at the hospital."
What did he mean?
Cassie stared at him. The gentleman who booked the breakfast? Who was he? Who was the mysterious gentleman that did all of these for her?
"Well, is the gentleman still at the hotel?" Cassie asked anxiously.
"I'm sorry, no. As a matter of fact, he didn't leave any contact information. He called us by telephone. You don't know who he is?" the waiter asked in surprise.
Cassie shook her head. Who could he be?
"I'm sorry I can't help you with that. Ma'am, please enjoy your meal. If you have any questions, feel free to call us," the waiter smiled politely.
"All right. Thank you sir," Cassie nodded and then closed the door behind her.
She placed the tray on the table and looked at it. The contents surprised her. It was chicken noodles and corn juice. It was her favorite breakfast. It seemed that the person who booked her breakfast knew her well.
Someone popped up in Cassie's mind. Could it be Nick?
She remembered when she was dating with Nick, she would prepare chicken noodles for him every morning. Nick said that it was the most delicious breakfast he'd ever had.
Cassie felt sad as she thought of the past. In fact, she almost felt like crying.
She breathed a sigh and told herself that it was all in the past and she should move on.
But who was the person in the first place? Could it be Nick who booked the breakfast for her?
Cassie decided to find out for herself. She felt herself get all energized when she entertained the idea of Nick still thinking and caring about her.
After she fixed herself a bit, she sat down and ate her breakfast. She enjoyed it tremendously because she was in a good mood.
Once she finished her breakfast, she went downstairs to check out in the reception. "Morning. I want to check out," she said.
"Ma'am. May I have your room number?" the staff asked.
"1309," Cassie answered.
The staff checked her computer and then turned to Cassie to smile. "Ma'am, you can check leave any time. The bill's already been taken care of yesterday."
"The bill's been taken care of?" Cassie murmured in disbelief. Then someone occurred to her all of a sudden. It must be Jordan who had paid the bill, because he sent her to the hotel yesterday.
Cassie didn't know what to feel about him.
He sent her to the hotel yesterday, and he even paid the bill for her. Why was he treating her so well?
