Chapter 11
“So what happened today was an accident too, where you used me as a cover?”
Alexander helped her simply because he didn’t allow her—his employee and one of his people—to
be challenged and provoked by outsiders. He bent over to get close to her ear before speaking in
a voice as cold as an ice lake. “I hope that what happened today will not happen again. If you
throw yourself at me again, I don’t mind ending your three-month probation ahead of time.”
Alexander stared at Courtney until she felt a chill running down her spine. The latter was choked
with anger, but she couldn’t get rid of the anger inside her.
Just as Alexander finished his sentence, the elevator door opened with a crisp ding! No longer
desiring to continue fighting, he turned around and left. Only then did Courtney’s tensed body go
limp.
I can’t have a good opinion of this big boss for more than three seconds! she thought to herself.
When she arrived at the department, her assistant, Vivienne, stopped her with a panic-stricken
expression. “Miss Hunter.”
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
Vivienne looked troubled. “The little guest in the VIP suite on the 20th floor is kicking up a fuss. He
refuses to eat anything and has thrown many out of his room. His room is in a mess right now, and
our hotel will be held accountable if he falls and hurts himself.”
“A little guest in the VIP suite on the 20th floor?” Courtney had never seen such a guest being
recorded in her guest list. “Is he a new guest?”
Vivienne nodded quickly. “You may say so. He’s only five years old, but he’s got quite a temper
despite his young age, and no one can calm him down. He is smashing things in anger since his
family is absent at this moment.”
“What? His family is absent? Is this proper?” Courtney asked. Upon making a prompt decision, she
said, “Let’s go and take a look.”
Her words were exactly what Vivienne had been waiting for. Vivienne caught up to her, saying, “He
hasn’t eaten for a day. If he still refuses to eat, we’re afraid that something might happen, and we
won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”
“It’s normal for a kid to feel insecure when his parents aren’t around,” Courtney uttered while
pressing the elevator button. “Are there parents who left their child alone in the hotel? Is this even novelbin
proper?”
Vivienne bowed her head next to Courtney and nodded with an unnatural expression.
When they reached the door to the suite, they heard the clatter of porcelains shattering into pieces,
which was followed by exclamations from the hotel attendant. Many staff members were standing
outside the door.
“Miss Hunter is here!”
Amid the noise, everyone made way for Courtney, who then entered the room to find the living
room in a mess so chaotic that one could scarcely find a place to get a foothold. The sofa covers
and cushions were thrown all over the floor, whereas the glass containing fruit juice was turned
over and mixed together with the spaghetti and the shattered plates and mugs. Furthermore, the
floor lamp beside the sofa had fallen onto the floor.
Courtney gave a gasp of shock. Can a five-year-old boy really destroy the scene to such an
extent? “Where’s the kid?” she asked in a whisper.
Another manager behind her pointed at the bedroom. “He has just shut himself in. What do you
think we should do, Miss Hunter?”
The seemingly more than ten people outside the door—ranging from attendants to receptionists to
hotel managers—were at a loss for what to do.
Courtney frowned. “Have you guys contacted the boy’s parents?”
“We can’t get through to them yet.” Those behind her looked at each other, as if trying to
communicate something by exchanging glances.
“Never mind.” Courtney rolled up her sleeves. “Tell the kitchen to make an egg custard and
prepare a bowl of poached meatballs that are a bit less salty. Also, have someone tidy up this
place.” With that, she stepped over the mess on the floor and headed for the bedroom.
“Should we let her go there just like that?”
“Or else? Should you go instead?”
“I’m not going. I’d lose my job if I pissed off the little prince.”
Courtney didn’t hear the whispers behind her. The bedroom door was half-opened, enabling her to
see the situation inside the room. The covers and pillows were thrown all over the place, and the
little figure, dressed in a set of brown-checkered pajamas, was sitting on the icy floor like a statue
with his back toward the bedroom door.
“Hello there…” Courtney tried to greet the kid, but he didn’t show any intention of responding to
her. She then tried to get close to him, but after she made a few steps, the figure suddenly moved
and hurled something in his hand right in her face.
