The staffs pushed the door open and Ethan went inside .

"U-um, Mr . Li, you shouldn't go inside . "

Ethan stopped, giving the speaker a side-glance .

"CEO Bai had that room reserved . We already asked someone to arrange us another hall instead . "

Ethan hummed . "Is that so? Then we are in the right one . " Was his response and continue walking in .

The guests were flabbergasted by his appalling actions .

Ethan Li was simply asking for a fight with Lillie Bai .

They had no clue what to do .

Should they follow him?

What if they were kicked out because of him? Then Theodora's hard work will come to waste .

They were slowly seeing Ethan Li in a bad light .

Yang Hui thought that luck was finally on her side again . She really wanted to applaud Ethan's pride .

Even when he's in enemy's territory, he still act arrogant and as if he owns the place .

"Excuse me, dear guests?" A tall, bespectacled woman in an elegant gold and white uniform stopped them .

"I am the hotel's manager . I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but you cannot enter this hall . " She tipped her head down . "Our CEO had it reserved first . Unfortunately, there seemed to be some technical problems, thus your schedules were synced . "

"We are prepared to offer another hall, and of course, a discount for the inconvenience . "

It was a good offer . The Bai Château does lives up to its name .

Everyone sees no problem with it and were ready to leave when suddenly . . .

"Just because it's your CEO doesn't mean we're the ones doing the adjustments . " Came the haughty shrills of Yang Hui .

Yang Hui's heels clicked as she approached the hotel's manager with a glare . "Do you know who you are dealing with? Not only am I, Yang Hui here, but Ethan Li as well! All of us are your guests and we deserve top-notched service!" She pierced her index finger on the manager's chest .

The polite and calm expression on the manager's face dropped because of Yang Hui's rudeness . And when she heard Ethan's name, the temperature went down in her eyes .

How dare she try to cause a strain with Mr . Li and Miss Bai's relations.h.i.+p!

Do you think I don't see through your pathetic acting?

"Please bare with us, Miss Yang . I'm sure we can—"

"Enough! I no longer want to listen to your pathetic excuses . We are using the main hall whether you like it or not!" She turned around, flipping her long black hair on the manager's face, knocking her gla.s.ses off .

Though it was Yang Hui who incinerated the problem, it will be Ethan who'll carry it .

In Lillie Bai's eyes, it will only be Ethan Li who caused the trouble .

It didn't matter what the other would think .

What matters is what Lillie Bai would think .

The former students of SEU felt dread in their system as they all cursed furiously at Yang Hui in their minds .

It's all over . Goodbye, luxurious experience .

"What is going on here?"

The guests didn't realized the sound of relief in their sighs when they saw their former Student Council President .

Lillie walked towards the commotion and saw the hotel's manager standing stiffly . Her spectacles lying on the cold ground .

Lillie went on to pick the gla.s.ses, and placing it back on her eyes .

"Thank you, miss—" When the manager's vision cleared, stunned was an understatement .

"M-miss—"

"I'm truly sorry for being late . I'll handle everything from here . " Lillie quietly said before she could complete her sentence .

"B-but . . . " The manager stammered in confusion .

Lillie gave her a look before directing her eyes to the crowd . The manager immediately caught on what she was referring and nodded .

Lillie stepped out of the way to let the manager hear the good news .

"Miss Yang was correct, customers should go first . CEO Bai is generous and understanding, I'm sure she would allow this predicament to pa.s.s . " Everyone heard the news and rejoiced at their luck .

Well, not everyone .

Yang Hui gritted her teeth . "What?! So now you can bend the rules? Why haven't you done that sooner? Is it because I told you Ethan Li was here?"

The manager cleared her throat . "Not at all . Please don't spout nonsense about Mr . Li and CEO Bai's relations.h.i.+p . It's true that they are rivals, but don't be mistaken, they still treat each other well . "

"And how would you know that?" Yang Hui challenged .

"You will find out soon in the conference hall . If you would all please proceed inside . " She gestured her hand towards the hall's entrance .
