Chapitre 17: Taking Over Saint Hotel 1
EDEN ESTATES.
SAINT VILLA.
HALL.
Aaron Saint walked out of his room down the stairs and saw Maijune having her breakfast. Maijune looked at his dressing and spoke.
''Where are you going, looking so spectacular? Is this why August is crazy over you? You look dazzling; is a pity you're not my cup of coffee''.
Aaron walked to the dining table and snatched the last piece of pancake from Maijune's hand just as she was about to eat it.
Maijune looked at him unbelievably and he took the rest of the milk in her glass and drank it as he chewed on the pancake.
Maijune hit her palm on the table and spoke.
''Aaron Saint do you believe I can kill you for stealing my food?''
Aaron Saint munched on the food completing ignoring her.
''Right! This is your house, everything belongs to you. Fine, I will be the bigger guy and let it go but just know one thing, I'm letting go not because you're the big boss, but because I am satisfied. Other than that, nobody steals my food and lives to tell it''.
''You seem to have a lot of fighting energy this morning?'' Aaron looked up at her after finishing the pancake and the milk.
Maijune culled her fist as she felt like strangling the man before her and said ''Aaron Saint, I will make sure I finish every single food that is available in this house. I will bore a hole in your black card. Call me a dog if I don't make it happen''.
Aaron Saint chuckled and replied ''then, I guess that will be your new name from now onwards. Dog! Because I have so much money than I can count. In short you will never be able to bore a hole in my black card even if you slept and ate in the shopping mall''.
''What? Aaron Saint, I dare you to call me a dog again!''
Aaron Saint smiled and stood up from the chair. He picked his phone and removed his black card and put on the table and spoke before going out.
''Buy anything and everything you want, my pretty dog''.
The word 'dog' resonated in Maijune's ears so hard that it drove her crazy and she screamed at Aaron Saint as he closed the door behind him.
''Dog? Hey!!! Aaron Saint, if I am a dog, then you're a male dog in fact, all your family and workers are male dogs''.
Maijune paused a bit confused and murmured ''a male dog, does that mean I am a female dog? What nonsense are you spouting Maijune? He just called you a dog. Fine, this dog will buy anything her eyes sees''.
Maijune picked the black card and went to her room.
.....
SAINT HOTEL.
Aaron Saint arrived in his convoy and the General Manager and staff lined up at the entrance to welcome him.
Aaron Saint got down with assistant Morris and the staff greeted him.
''Welcome First Young Master''.
Aaron Saint frowned and turned to the General Manager.
''Why did you make them leave their work to come here just to greet me?''
''First Young Master, is been a year since you came here. Everyone is happy to see you that's why they all came out when I told them about your visit''
''I see. Well, let them go back to their duties. We have a lot of work to do''
''Yes, First Young Master''.
The General Manager quickly dismissed the staff and went into the administrative block of the hotel with Aaron Saint and Morris.
CONFERENCE ROOM.
Aaron Saint took a look at the documents as he sat at the front desk of the conference room. Morris sorted out some few papers and passed unto Aaron Saint speaking.
''Boss, there are a lot of loopholes in almost every single document. The financial statements are not tallying and some rooms are not in use''.
''Really?'' Aaron looked up at the manager. ''Care to explain?''
The manager wiped his sweat and spoke.
''First Young Master, the Second Young Master makes me send about $1000 dollars to his account every week. He also reserved the suit room for himself. He personally makes the purchases of every worn-out equipment and gives us a receipt. Sometimes, the market price might be lesser than the amount on the receipt''.
''He's been stealing money from the hotel? I see. Looks like I really need to monitor this place myself. Morris, make copies of every single document and mail it to the old man. He should see for himself how well his grandson is managing the hotel''.
''Yes, boss''.
Aaron 's phone buzzed and he looked at the notification of deductions on his black card and smiled. The General Manager saw his smile and said.
''First Young Master, I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time. Message from your girlfriend?''
Aaron Saint smiled and replied ''no, a message from my dog. My cute dog is trying to bore a hole in my pockets''.
Aaron Saint stood up and walked away leaving the manager shocked. Morris smiled seemingly aware of who he was referring to.
''I should take a look at what she is busy doing''. Aaron muttered.
''Boss, then, I will take the lead first''.
Morris walked away with the documents in his hands.
AT A HIGH END ROAD.
D-CITY CHANEL.
Maijune walked into the shop with two different shopping bags she had filled with clothes from her previous trips to two shops down the road.
The distance to the shop wasn't that far but because she was determined to really bore a hole in the black card, Maijune took taxis even for those short distances.
One of the staff saw the watch on Maijune's wrist and quickly deduced that she was the young miss of a rich family and decided to treat her with care and respect.
The staff took over the two bags from Maijune with a smile and spoke.
''Welcome, Miss. How may I help you?''
Maijune looked around the shop saying.
''I want the most expensive dress you have in this shop''.
''Huh?''
''I said I want the most expensive dress you have here''.
The woman put the two bags down and pointed at a yellow dress hanging on a mannequin and said.
''That is the most expensive and latest dress by famous designer Bella Louis''.
Maijune walked to the mannequin and admired the dress murmuring to herself.
''This will fit Mai's character very well. She likes this kind of dresses''.
Liyah Myers walked out of the changing room in the same dress which was a blue colour.
The staff with her exclaimed excitedly ''Whoa. This fits you so well. Is almost like this dress was made for you, Miss Myers''.
Liyah smiled with satisfaction and looked at Maijune who was staring at her. Liyah had already seen Maijune the time she entered the shop but she decided to finish changing into her dress before talking to her.
Maijune glanced between the dress on the mannequin and Liyah before she turned away completely ignoring them.
Liyah furrowed her brows dissatisfied and walked to Maijune and said.
''I see you are here?''
Maijune turned and looked at her and spoke ''are you talking to me?''
Her response threw Liyah off guard and she for a moment didn't know what to say as Maijune continued ''do I know you? Or, do you know me?''
''August Maijune, are you pretending to not remember me or you really don't know who I am?''
''If I knew who you were, I would have spoken to you. Don't you agree? I ignored you because I don't remember who you are''.
Maijune spoke and massaged her forehead tiredly.
''Are you usually this obnoxious or is your attitude directed to only me? The last time I saw you at the hospital, you were rude back then too?''
Liyah spoke shrewdly and Maijune sighed and spoke.
''The hospital? I see, we met at the hospital. That explains it, I don't remember you at all. And with regards to my behaviour, I am usually this obnoxious, don't take it personal''.
Maijune looked around and picked her bags to go murmuring ''I guess I will have to come here another day. I don't have any shopping spirit left anymore''.
Liyah thought of something and smirked and said as Maijune turned to go.
''Is that black card for Aaron? He used to give it to me anytime I wanted to go shopping too''.
Maijune turned back to face her saying ''oh, really. Then, it means he doesn't give it to you now. I was wondering who you were but now that I put one and two together, I can make up your identity''.
''What?''
''You are her, right?'' Maijune stepped closer to Liyah.
All this while, the staff stood quickly watching them, none wanting to get in the middle since they were two rich young ladies.
''Yes, I am Aaron's...'' Maijune interrupted her.
''The cheater, right? You're the one who slept with his cousin and made a cuckold of Aaron, right?''
Liyah's face darkened as she boiled with anger and roared at Maijune.
''How dare you say that to my face''.
''Well, I am not one to snitch on people so I prefer saying it to their face. Even though, people tend to call that being obnoxious. But, I must say, you have guts. Jumping from one brother to another. By any chance, did you sleep with both brothers?''
