“Thank you, Mr. Hill. I’ll definitely visit you another day to thank you.” Audrey thanked him, but deep down, she was already chasing him away.
[You’re so busy every day. Why don’t you leave first?]
Evans raised his eyebrows slightly. Audrey’s expression was flawless as she thanked him sincerely. If not for the caption above her head that revealed her true intentions, Evans might have believed her.
No wonder she had chosen to pursue an acting career; her acting skills were indeed quite impressive.
“It’s not safe for a girl like you to stay here. I’ll take you back,” Evans suggested once more, offering to escort her back.
Audrey looked troubled. This time, she was truly caught in a difficult situation.

Audrey was well aware of Linda’s character, but initially, she had assumed that Linda wanted to use the photos to gain some advantages from her. However, it appeared that there was more to it.
When the other party handed her a glass of water with a solicitous expression, Audrey sensed that something was amiss.
Before her transmigration, Audrey had spent many years in the entertainment industry and had encountered all sorts of challenges. Dealing with Linda was child’s play.
She duped Linda into drinking the glass of water and observed as Linda fell unconscious on the bed before making her exit. Audrey found a concealed spot and waited to see who Linda was collaborating with.
Sure enough, Jerry arrived in less than five minutes.
Although it was unexpected, upon reflection, it made sense. After all, these two were the ones she had most recently offended.
Audrey was still grappling with her dilemma when Kevin arrived with the manager and two hotel security guards.
The hotel manager recognized Evans, and when he spotted him, he hurried over to greet him. “Mr. Hill, how may I assist you?”
Evans didn’t immediately respond to the manager’s question but turned his gaze towards Audrey.
Audrey hadn’t anticipated this level of complexity. She whispered, “I still want to stay.”
Evans regarded her with a perplexed expression and then turned to the manager, inquiring, “Is room 1801 available?”
“Please wait a moment. I’ll check for you immediately.” The manager quickly retrieved his phone and made a call to check the room’s availability. After confirming that room 1801 was unoccupied, he promptly informed Evans. Evans nodded and instructed Kevin, “Go to the front desk and reserve a room.”
Though Kevin was puzzled, he refrained from questioning his boss and promptly left to secure the room.
Audrey remained somewhat stunned as she followed Evans into Room 1801.
In truth, Audrey wasn’t the only one baffled by this turn of events. Kevin and the hotel manager were equally perplexed. As they rode the elevator down together, the manager couldn’t help but inquire, “Is this lady Mr. Hill’s girlfriend?”
Kevin glanced at the manager and replied in a composed tone, “The boss’s personal matters are not up for discussion.”
The hotel manager nearly broke into a cold sweat and quickly nodded, offering an apology.

As Evans seemed at ease, Audrey tried her best to appear nonchalant. She found a seat near the door and sat down, attentively listening to the activities in the corridor.
However, as Evans had mentioned, the hotel’s soundproofing was remarkably effective. Unless there was a loud argument taking place outside, they couldn’t pick up any sounds.
Audrey strained her ears, listening intently for an extended period, but to no avail.
She glanced at Evans, who remained engrossed in his phone. His slender fingers scrolled across the screen methodically, his focus unwavering.
Audrey took a deep breath and forced a natural smile. She inquired, “Mr. Hill, may I open the door a crack?”
Evans finally looked away from the phone and moved his gaze to her face.
“Up to you.”
Evans only said three words before retracting his gaze.
Audrey expressed her gratitude and rose to open the door slightly. She didn’t widen it much, just enough to permit faint sounds from the corridor to filter in..
