The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again novel Chapter 11

11 An Old Mobile Phone 

Seeing Samantha and learning that she, too, was going to attend this year’s benefit left Amelie feeling restless and confused. Once again, she found herself unable to return to her own house, so she opted to stay at the Emerald Hotel tonight

As she stepped out of the elevator and walked toward her suite, she noticed an old mobile phone model lying right at the door. It was a perplexing sight

Wow, I haven’t seen one of these phones in ages. It still has buttons.” 

Amelie took a closer look at the phone; it resembled one of the earliest mobile phone models, the kind she remembered from middle school. It was smaller than an average smartphone, with peculiar round edges, a full set of buttons, and a relatively small screen. It was a popular yet inexpensive model that many of her 

classmates owned back then

Who would still own something this ancient? And why is it in front of my door?she wondered aloud

Amelie looked around the hallway. There were only 

17

two penthouse suites on this floor, which meant two possibilities: either the phone was left by the other guest or by someone from the staff, which seemed more plausible to her

I guess I’ll just take it to the reception desk and ask 

hem to find its owner,she thought

she bent down to pick up the phone, and the moment. her hand touched it, it vibrated with an incoming call 

from an unknown number

At first, Amelie was confused and unsure of what to do, but then it hit herwhat if the owner was calling to find the phone? She had to answer it

Hello?A male voice greeted her before she could even say anything. Amelie cleared her throat and responded, Hello?” 

Who is this?The male voice sounded rather urgent

Do you know the owner of this phone?Amelie asked hopefully

I do know the owner of this phone, it’s me! I’m holding my phone in my hands right now! Hahaha!” 

Amelie raised her eyebrows; this phone conversation

was already getting frustrating, especially since the man on the other end was clearly drunk

Excuse me, I found this phone in the hallway of the Emerald Hotel. Do you know its owner?” 

Emerald Hotel? But I’m at the Emerald Hotel right now! Whoa, this is spooky!” 

Oh my GodAmelie found the situation ridiculous

gh, she pinched the skin between her 

s to stop herself from frowning and replied in rious voice, Alright, I am taking this phone down to the reception desk. Please tell the owneror yourself, when you sober upthat you can find it there. Have a good night.” 

She hung up and walked back to the elevators, mumbling, What a weirdo.”

The next morning, as Amelie was getting ready for work, her routine was interrupted by a light knock on 

the door. She looked at her watch and tried to 

remember if she had ordered room service last night

No, I don’t think I’m expecting anythingWhat could be the matter?”

Slightly confused, she opened the door only to find not one there. Now, she was seriously questioning her own sanity. However, before she could brand herself as slightly insane, Amelie looked down and widened her 

eyes

What in the world?” 

In the same spot where she had found the old mobile phone last night, there was now a modest bouquet of pink tulips and a small glossy paper bag with a white. postit note in the middle of it. She looked around just as she had done last time, but once again, the hallway 

was empty

Shrugging her shoulders, Amelie looked inside the paper bag and saw the same phone she had taken to the reception desk last night. She peeled off the postit and began to read

To the beautiful lady in suite 2101

I am sorry for troubling you with my call last night. I was drunk and had no idea what I was doing. Thank you for taking care of the phone. The thing is, it is very important to me, and I’d hate to lose it again, sowould it trouble you to keep it with you for the time

being? I promise there is nothing suspicious about it, but if you feel uneasy, you can put it back into the bag and leave it outside your door. I will take it back later

Thank you. Your troublesome neighbor who rarely 

drinks. That is a fact.” 

Somehow, the note put a smile on Amelie’s face. She still found it odd and slightly suspicious that a total stranger would ask her to do something like that, but since it was a guest staying in the most expensive room, she knew whom to look for if anything went 

wrong

Alright, let’s write a response then,” Amelie thought to 

herself
