Chapter 151 She's so difficult

Claire stared at him in disbelief, embarrassed that he had heard her muttering. Alex didn't wait for her response and walked briskly to his car, jumping inside. Claire watched him go, feeling a mix of frustration and exhaustion.

When Claire finally arrived at her hotel room, she felt tired and drained. The eleven-hour plane ride had left her body aching. She considered treating herself to some time at the spa once her work was done, hoping it might help her relax. She lay down on the bed, trying to sleep, but her mind refused to rest. She tossed and turned for a while before giving up.

"Why can't I sleep?" she muttered tiredly.

With a sigh, she got up and decided to work instead. The hours flew by as she buried herself in emails and project plans, and before she knew it, it was 3 PM.

Realizing it was time to visit the hotel site, Claire headed down to the lobby to wait for Alex and the rest of the team. Since no one but Alex knew the exact location, they had to wait for him to guide them.

Alex arrived shortly after. He was about to ask Claire where the other employees were when he noticed the dark circles under her eyes. His frown deepened as he asked, "Did you get any sleep?" Claire shook her head slightly. "I couldn't sleep," she admitted.

Alex looked like he wanted to ask more, but just then, the other employees arrived. He quickly reverted to his professional demeanor, pretending not to care.

"Alright, let's head to the cars," he said, leading the way.

After a thirty minute's drive, they arrived at the hotel site. From the outside view, everything has come into place in a way it is complete. As the team stepped out of their cars, everyone shifted into work mode, ready to tackle the day's tasks. Alex gathered the group in the expansive lobby, explaining the project details once more, ensuring everyone was on the same page.

"Alright, everyone." Alex began, his voice steady and authoritative. "As we discussed in the meeting, this hotel is going to be the first technological theme hotel in Las Vegas. The technological and Matrix-like theme needs to be evident in every corner, from the lobby to the rooms."

She understood his vision clearly, but her mind was already racing with ideas and observations. She hadn't commented yet, choosing instead to take in the surroundings,
