Chapter 256 They Never Stopped Seeing Each Other
Owing Anthony a favor has already made things difficult enough for me, and now I’m owing three peopl
e favors at the same time. I’m going tohave a hard time repaying them. But now, there’s no better option. If I show up, things may get even worse, thought Abigail. Eventually, she stepped aside to make way for
the man.
Sean opened the door and walked out.
There was a lot of noise outside. Not only did Ronaldo’s security guards snatch the cameras from the r
eporters, they also warned Eric’s fans in strong language.
Just then, Sean’s chilly voice rang. “What are all of you doing here?”
In an instant, everyone’s heart sank; silence reigned over the hotel corridor as everyone turned their he
ads simultaneously to see Sean standing at the door to the hotel room.
It was impossible to ignore his commanding presence as his tall
and imposing figure stood at the door. Impatience flickered in his eyes as his gaze swept over the faces
of everyone present. Despite the casualness with which he glanced at everyone, these people, who w
ere all meeting him for the first time, noticed his gaze that was enough to strike fear into anyone’s heart
.
Immediately, Ronaldo came up and went along with him. “Mr. Graham, my sincere apologies for disturb
ing you and your friends‘ rest. These people sneaked into our hotel early in the morning to take unauth
orized photos. I’ve called the police, and they’ll be here soon to arrest them.”
Sean darted an impa*sive glance at him. Then, he gave a slight nod, saying, “This is a star–
rated hotel, after all. You need to do a better job of ensuring the safety and privacy of your guests.”
“Did you hear that?!” yelled Ronaldo, pretending to be furious, in a reproachful tone to the young man f
ollowing him.
The young man nodded repeatedly. “You’re right, sir. The police will be here in a minute, and none of th
ese people taking unauthorized photos are going to get away with
it! I’ll report to you all about the developments later. Whether it’s complimentary rooms or compensatio
n, our hotel will definitely take responsibility.”
At that moment, Kevin stepped out of Abigail’s room. Pretending to be frightened, he patted his chest. “I
was scared to death
early this morning. I was just about to go out for breakfast when a bunch of people suddenly barged int
o my room holding phones and cameras and pointed them to my face.”
Inside the hotel room, Abigail pressed her ear against the door, paying attention to the commotion outsi
de. She heard the noise quiet down in an instant, and then there was silence.
She stood waiting by the door for over ten minutes. Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, upon which she immediately knew it was Sean. When she opened the door and saw only
him, Ronaldo, and Kevin, she couldn’t help but crane her neck to look in the direction of her own hotel r
oom.
“Don’t worry. They’ve all been taken away by the police,” said Ronaldo, rea*suring her with at
cheerful smile.
Kevin let out a long sigh of relief. “Thank goodness you’ve already left with Sean. They had your room
key and barged into your room. These fans and reporters are so audacious!”
Sean quietly shot a dark look at him.
Noticing the guilt in Abigail’s eyes, Kevin instantly understood why Sean had shot him a look–
his words were making her feel guilty. “It’s okay! We’re friends, aren’t we?” he hurriedly added in an att
empt to ease the situation.
Abigail was nonetheless very grateful to them. “Thank you so much for your help today. If you need my
help in making designs in the future, feel free to let me know.”
“Oh, come on! We’re friends,” replied Ronaldo with a wave of his hand. “After all, it’s the hotel’s mistakenovelbin
. It’s already lucky for the hotel that you’re not making a fuss about it.”
Sean turned
to look at Abigail, his voice gentler without him noticing as he spoke. “The hotel’s security lapse has not
hing to do with you.”
“I’ll deal with the hotel about this. Mr. Fernandez could’ve stayed out of this; since he has helped me, I
need to thank him for this,” replied Abigail in a businesslike tone.
“You’re welcome, senorita. Would you prefer to have breakfast first or head straight to the airport?” Ron
aldo asked her with a smile.
Abigail had merely treated Ronaldo as a client
before, but his timely phone call had saved her today. Without the phone call, she wouldn’t have left wit
h Sean; instead, she would have been caught by those reporters as well as Eric’s fans. If they started a
stream, put her on the internet, and confirmed that she was staying at
this hotel, she would have a much harder time clarifying the situation. “Mr. Fernandez, can you recomm
end a place for breakfast?” she asked in a softer voice. Since Ronaldo had helped her this time, she fel
t the need to remind him of several things as a way to repay his favor.
“Then come with me.” Ronaldo waved his hand, his expression filled with delight.
Kevin muttered to Sean, “Even without him, we could handle it…” This has unexpectedly caused Abigai
l to have a much better impression of him. Well, this is going to put Sean in greater danger.
Abigail didn’t say much upon hearing his words, though.
Just then, Sean’s phone rang. He said to Abigail, “I have to answer this–
it’s probably about the surveillance footage. You guys wait for me here.”
“Okay.” Abigail nodded.
As she watched the man step aside
to answer the phone, an inexplicable sadness crept over her. They were already divorced, and yet it se
emed like they had never stopped seeing each other. And now, today’s incident forced her to be entang
led with him once again.
“Just send the complete surveillance footage to Miss Smith from L.Moon. She knows what to do.” Altho
ugh his voice wasn’t loud, everyone in the room heard him clearly.
Seizing the opportunity, Ronaldo cozied up to Abigail, saying, “I’ve prepared some
seafood for you. It was sent out for delivery last night, so Miss Smith will receive it by noon today. You’v
e got to try it; it’s very delicious.”
