Chapter 178 Rita Feeling Guilty

Maia didn’t go to the restroom but quietly went downstairs. Upon reaching the lower floor, she headed directly to the front desk. Looking at several hotel staff working diligently, she instructed, “Bring two glasses of peach rose wine upstairs.”

“Yes.” The staff nodded, immediately beginning the preparation.

Observing the staff uncorking the bottles, she noticed that the peach rose wine was produced by the Burgess Winery. Seeing her family winery’s wine, she couldn’t help but smile.

She didn’t expect Errol to expand the winery business so much, with their wines making their way into various high–end restaurants.

Then she looked towards a few robust staff members standing on the side. She approached them and whispered, “Did Cedric ask you to protect me?”

As soon as she spoke, they simultaneously called her “Miss Maia.” She made a quick “shh” gesture, then attentively gazed upstairs, worried about catching Rita’s attention.

“Miss Maia, please rest assured. Everyone here is our own, and Cedric has arranged

everything. Mrs. Rita’s every move is being monitored. Once she comes downstairs, the bar will notify us.”

Hearing the lead bodyguard’s words, she realized Cedric’s meticulous planning, but she never expected him to be so considerate.
