Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 189

“What’s wrong, Mr. Simpson? Are you not feeling well?” Elena asked.

“I’m fine. It’s getting late. Have you eaten?” Casper quickly changed the subject.

“Not yet, Mr. Simpson,” Elena answered with a smile.

Casper’s attempt to avert the attention away from himself was successful. “Would you like to eat with me?”

Elena’s eyes lit up when she heard those words.

“Of course. It’s an honor to have dinner with you, Mr. Simpson,” Elena answered with a smile. Her mood improved rapidly, and she almost jumped for joy.

Despite being one of the employees, they opted to eat out instead of dining in the Tycoon Hotel.

Perhaps, they were afraid of seeing acquaintances. Or, they were tired of the food already.

Anyway, Casper wanted to gather more information on the other hotel. So they decided to pay a visit to Lingham Hotel in the hopes of extracting some useful information.

As soon as Casper and Elena entered Lingham Hotel, they couldn’t help but stop and stare in awe, taking in its majestic grandeur.

Applying gold as its primary theme, the grand hall was a majestic display without looking overly flamboyant. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

In terms of interior design, the design in Tycoon Hotel was a world away from Lingham Hotel.

But then again, Lingham Hotel had the backing of Lingham Group, and the owner was one of the richest men in Horington.

On the other hand, Tycoon Hotel made it this far with its own effort without any support.

Unfortunately, that was not enough.

Therefore, Casper had to find a way to save the hotel’s business. Otherwise, the hotel’s losses would be unthinkable.

If things were to go from bad to worse in the future, then the hotel that Casper bought with tens of millions would be reduced to nothing.

Of course, Casper would not let such a thing happen. He came to Lingham Hotel with a purpose.

He hoped that he would get something meaningful out of it by probing into enemy lines.

He took Elena’s hand and walked into the hotel together. As they walked into the lobby and headed to the front desk, a lobby attendant came over immediately and greeted them.

However, Casper noticed that the lobby attendant was showing them contempt.

Casper began to wonder how someone who worked in the service line not make an effort to hide their true emotions.

He was wearing a tattered shirt while Elena was dressed in a pencil skirt and an office blouse.

It gave others the impression that she was a successful career woman who had come here with her boy toy.

“Hello, how may I help you?” the lobby attendant inquired politely.

The lobby attendant was courteous as he attended to them.

But in fact, he despised men like Casper, who were nothing but a boy toy.

After all, a man like that would spend the night with a rich woman in exchange for the life of the riches in Horington.

This kind of man is into it for the easy money. To be a boy toy, you’ll need to be handsome and a sweet talker.

If the man is quick-witted, open-minded, and good at pleasuring women, then that’s his way of earning quick money.

That thought made him recoiled inwardly in disgust, but he maintained a respectful front.

Although it did not show on his face, the contempt and mockery were apparent in his eyes.

Casper noticed it. Not long after, Elena saw it too.

Elena frowned when she saw the look in the lobby attendant’s eyes and said to him, “We’re here for dinner. Please take us to a private room.”

The lobby attendant nodded.

At that moment, Elena decided to put up a facade.

“My dear, it’s your treat today,” Elena said in a soft tone, and it gave Casper the goosebumps when he heard that.

“Of course.”

When Elena saw that Casper was playing along, her smile broke into a wide grin.

Although Casper was taken aback, it was only in such a short moment that he quickly came to his senses.

He knew that Elena was acting that way on purpose in front of the lobby attendant.

And he knew that Elena did that to clear his name.

How can the owner of Tycoon Hotel be dressed in tattered clothing?

However, Casper didn’t see her approach as a substantial means for him.

He did not reckon that Elena’s remarks would make the lobby attendant change his view of the both of them.

But her approach did bring a smile to his face.

Elena was acting differently that day. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but something had changed about her.

Casper didn’t know what brought the change, but he welcomed the change in her.

When both of them followed the lobby attendant into the hotel’s restaurant, someone witnessed the whole thing and snuck a few photos of them.

After the photos were taken, the man behind the camera burst into a peal of maniacal laughter.

Anyone would have shuddered at the sound of the man’s evil laugh.
