Chapter 252

The security guards’ leader panicked.He bowed deeply, explaining, "1m terribly sorry, Mr.Reid.We
wanted to toss him out of the hotel, but the hotel’s previous lobby manager, Samantha Williams,
phoned us and gave strict orders not to harm this man.She also told us to set him free."

As the leader spoke, he cautiously eyed Darius before instantly looking down at the ground.

Darius had noticed the former’s actions but did not voice his complaints.

After all, he knew the security guards had no say in the matter, so they were innocent.He placed both
hands on his hips, sighing.

"So, as the head of security, you should be able to make your own judgments."

The leader could not help but tremble just then.

He could sense the aggression behind Darius’ words and felt he had made the wrong decision earlier,
endangering his current position.

There was nothing else he could do except appease Darius so he could keep his job in the long run.

"All right, Mr.Reid.I know what I have to do," he said while nodding.

Then, he quickly bent down and strangled Bilgi, lifting the latter by the neck.

The skin on the back of Bilgi’s neck felt like it was about to rip.He frantically thrashed his legs around,
wanting to get back on the ground.

However, the more he panicked, the more things went wrong; he eventually fell, landing on his butt and
wailing from the pain.



Darius massaged his ears at that moment.

Upon seeing that, the lead security immediately understood what the latter was feeling and rushed up
to cover Bilgi’s mouth.

Only after the security guards left Darius’ vision did his features soften.

Erin found it odd and whipped her head around to face Darius.

"Mr.Reid, I don’t think you actually blame them for not removing him."

Following that, she saw Darius’ gaze flash past her, and her heart dropped.

She thought, "Crud, I made another serious mistake—I shouldn’t have assumed or tried to guess what
Darius was thinking.But I couldn’t help myself..."

She lowered her head as the scene fell silent.

A second passed.

"You're right.I don’t blame those guards.Still, they should’ve known what they should and shouldn’t
do.As for you, there’s no need to be so scared every time you say something wrong," said Darius
before he walked forward.

Not expecting the former to respond with such care, Erin’s heart raced, and her breathing quickened.

She was so occupied with her excitement that she did not think about what Darius was doing now.

It ensued until Darius stopped at about 35 feet away.

He turned to ask, "Why aren’t you catching up to me?"



Only then did Erin snap out of it and chase after him.

Once the two left the hotel corridor, Kate came out from Darius’ room with a grim look.

Jealously caused her body to tremble as she thought, "There must be more to Darius and Erin’s so-
called boss and secretary relationship.I bet they’re dating! No way.That can’t be true!"

She froze there, anticipation building on her face as she hoped Darius would turn to look at her or
realize she had gotten left behind.

Sadly, it was apparent that both of those things would never happen.

She watched as Darius and Erin got in the elevator, the doors eventually closing.

At that point, Erin could not help tilting her head to examine Darius ’ expression.

She asked, "Mr.Reid? Why didn’t you ask Kate to come with us? I don't think leaving her alone in your
hotel room is a good idea."

"Indeed."

Darius nodded with a smile.

It only lasted a second before his face returned to its usual calmness.

"That’s not a good idea, but it'll save us from humiliation.After all, the hotel’s current lobby manager is
Alicia, yet Kate still managed to enter my room.I feel Alicia owes us an explanation."

Erin’s gaze became downcast as she refrained from speaking anymore.

The elevator door opened right after their conversation ended.



Darius then strolled to the front desk, where a new female staff stood.

She had no clue who Darius was, so she treated him like she did with other patrons.

Flashing him a sweet smile, she bowed and politely asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"

"I'd like to see your current lobby manager, Alicia Rodriguez."

Hearing that made the receptionist’s smile stiffen.

Nevertheless, she boldly attempted to ask, "I believe I can help with whatever it is you need."

Not a word came from Darius.

That was Erin’s cue to step up.

She stated, "I think you should respect your patrons’ choices.

And now, my chairman is asking to see your lobby manager."

The receptionist could tell the two were determined, so she reached out to grab the corded phone and
say, "Miss Alicia, there’s a man and a woman in the lobby who wish to see you."

She then hung up and bowed before Darius again, explaining, "Please have a seat.Our lobby manager
will be with you shortly."

Darius did not move.

Instead, he merely stood there and stared into the space ahead.

A few seconds passed when the sound of high heels clicked in the lobby.



The clicking grew louder, and Darius knew those were Alicia’s footsteps.

He rooted to the spot, placing both hands in his pockets while staring at the doorway where Alicia
would soon enter.

When the latter finally showed up, Darius arched a brow.

The last time he saw her was four hours ago, but it seemed like she had already become a different
woman.

Before, Alicia had an innocent beauty about her; nothing was imposing about her aura.
