Chapter 793
While Britney held the flowers, lost in thought, a receptionist rushed back into her office. “Ms. Watson, your ex–boyfriend is here.”
Soren and Britney had been together for two years. He used to pick her up and drop her off at work regularly, so all the front desk staff knew him.
Britney’s brow furrowed instantly. “Tell him to leave.”
The receptionist hesitated. “But he said he won’t go until he sees you.”
Britney set down the flowers, her frown deepening as she stood and left her office.
Soren stood at the front desk, chatting cheerfully with the staff. This was peak checkout time, and he was disrupting the front desk operations.
Britney’s face darkened. “Soren, please leave.”
Seeing her cold expression the moment she appeared, Soren’s face hardened too. “Britney, is this how you treat customers?”
“What kind of customer are you?” Britney shot back.
Soren immediately pulled out his ID. “Give me a room.”
“Are you sure about that?”
This was a five–star hotel. Even the cheapest rooms cost six hundred dollars a night. Soren worked at an e–commerce company, making only three thousand dollars a month. With his mortgage and car payments, he couldn’t afford to stay here.
Britney’s expression was so obvious it stung Soren’s pride. “What, you think I can’t afford to stay here?”
A monthly income of three thousand dollars made Soren successful for regular people. But they weren’t in the same league as Gavin with his Rolls-
Royce.
Soren thought, ‘Britney’s salary was barely over three thousand dollars, too. What right did she have to look down on me?‘
The more Soren thought about it, the angrier he got. He sneered, “Britney, you think that rich guy is serious about you? He’s just messing around with you. Don’t flatter yourself thinking you’re something special. Look at yourself–you’re nothing but a gold digger!”
“Hey, that’s way out of line!” The receptionist couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped to Britney’s defense. “You’re the one who cheated first. How can you talk about Ms. Watson like that? You have no shame!”
Soren’s eyes flared. “I’m filing a complaint! I want to see your general manager!”
It was peak checkout time and the lobby was packed with guests. Soren’s outburst disturbed everyone.
The hotel general manager, Chris West, happened to be doing his rounds in the hotel lobby. When he heard the commotion, going on here?” Chris asked.
Soren immediately turned the tables on him. “Chris, perfect timing. Is this how you train your staff? What kind of service is this?”
Chris recognized Soren right away. “Mr. Brown, let’s talk this through calmly.”
ied over. “What’s
“Talk it through? I come to your hotel as a paying customer, and this is the attitude I get from your staff?” Soren turned to the other guests watching the scene unfold. “The service here is terrible! Nobody should stay at this place!”
Chris frowned and looked at Britney. “Apologize to the guest. Now.”
He’d heard about the bad blood between Britney and Soren, but right now Soren was a customer. Britney had to apologize.
