Chapter 257

Chapter 257:

“Room 66B is out of bath towels. Could you bring two over?” Eileen requested, pausing in her tracks as she frowned.

The staff member pulled out a key from her pocket and unlocked the nearby storage room. “I’m sorry, I’m new here and still not sure where things are, and there’s a lot to handle. Could you help me find the towels?”

“Okay,” Eileen agreed and entered the storage room, her eyes scanning the shelves stocked with the hotel’s supplies.

She quickly found the towel section, walked over, and picked up two towels. She was about to leave when suddenly someone covered her nose and mouth from behind.

The wet, white handkerchief with a sharp smell quickly made her consciousness fade.

The staff member swiftly hid Eileen under the cleaning cart and draped a white cloth, concealing her completely.

She wheeled the cart out of the storage room, and just then, she ran into Bryan, who was just leaving his room.

“Could you bring up three dinners? Make them lightly flavored with no beef,” Bryan said, noticing the staff member gripping the cleaning cart nervously. Only her eyes were visible, and she avoided making eye contact with him.

Talking to Bryan, she said again with a frown, “Yes, got it.”

Then she pushed the cart toward the elevator.

Bryan watched her leave, a sudden emptiness filling his chest, his heartbeat seeming to change.

An inexplicable irritation kept him from going back to his room. Instead, he opened a window in the hallway to let in the fresh, rain-scented air to clear his head.

After a while, the sudden discomfort made Bryan go to knock on Eileen’s room door.

In the underground parking lot, Benjamin stood beside the car, checking his watch occasionally. “Mr. Warren, who are we waiting for?” he asked.

“You’ll see when they get here,” Kian answered from inside the car, the dim garage lights casting a glow that revealed half of his face.

Benjamin frowned at the vague reply, waiting a few more minutes until he heard footsteps and the sound of a car rolling on the concrete floor.

He then saw a female staff member rushing toward him. The staff member took off her hat and mask as she approached. “Quick, get her out of here before we’re spotted!” she urged.

“Megan?” Benjamin was surprised.

Megan pulled back the white cloth to reveal Eileen, who was tied up.

Benjamin’s expression immediately darkened.
