When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 136

When we got to the hotel, the receptionist wouldn't give us even a hint about which room Clyde was in.

Eliana tossed her hair back and banged on the counter.

"Where's Sam? Get Sam out here!"

The receptionist looked terrified and quickly went to find someone.

Soon enough, a person who looked like a manager came jogging out.

"Ms. Chandler, my dear, why didn't you tell me you were coming..."

"Cut the crap. I'm here to catch a cheater. Where's he?"

Eliana nodded in my direction, and I quickly pulled up a photo of Clyde's ID on my phone.

The manager glanced at the photo, then back at Eliana with a troubled expression.

"Ms. Chandler, we have to respect the privacy of our guests..."

"It's him. They've been playing dangerous games. If something happens to him under your watch, you can kiss your job goodbye!"

Eliana's tone was chilling; I was scared, and I could only imagine how the manager felt.

He quickly gestured to the receptionist.

Without even checking the system, the young lady blurted out, "Top floor, 1901, the lady requested a full suite..."

Eliana pulled me toward the elevator, then turned to the manager.

"Sam, pretend I was never here, got it?"

As the elevator doors closed, I could see the manager bowing repeatedly to her.

"You..."

Seeing Eliana's excited expression, I swallowed all the questions I had.

When we reached the door of 1901, Eliana rolled up her sleeves and knocked forcefully.

"Who is it?" Lisa's annoyed voice came through.

Eliana quickly put on a sweet smile and said, "Ma'am, the bottle of wine Mr. Patterson ordered is here, please open the door. And the hotel has sent over a complimentary luxury kit for you two."

Her voice was so sweet it scared me.
