Kate in the guesthouse had seen the car coming over. She had a lively and cheerful personality. She tilted her head happily and said, "Gloria, is there anyone who booked a room online today?"
Gloria enjoyed bathing in the sun on a lounge chair in the yard the most in the past three years. She reached out and rubbed her eyebrows. She was not very concerned about whether there was an online reservation.
"Gloria, making money is important!" Kate was a bit furious. In Kate's eyes, Gloria was an unreliable boss making strange rules and caring little about earning money from the first day of business.
"Of course it is," Gloria said something against her heart slowly, afraid that Kate would use a local accent to scold her again.
"Gloria! Be serious! Did anyone book a room online today?" Kate asked.
"Well... I don't think so." Gloria felt a little guilty.
"Really?" Kate was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. She had never met such a boss before.
Kate watched as the car drove over. She said to Gloria, "Forget it. I'll go greet the guests."
Then, Kate left the counter.
Lying on the chair, Gloria covered her forehead in agony. She did not want to bear Kate's scolding.
"Hello! Welcome!" Kate greeted warmly, but her voice stopped abruptly.
She stared blankly at Ellison who came out of the car. Suddenly, her cheeks turned red after seeing this handsome man.
"Nice to meet you." Ellison got out of the car and smiled politely.
Kate's heart was beating wildly due to Ellison's magnetic voice. She sensed her rudeness from Ellison's strange look. She quickly asked, "Would you like to check in?"
Ellison nodded. He asked, "Do you still have any room available?"
"Yes!" Kate had worked in the guesthouse for several years, and it was the first time she had seen such a handsome and tall man.
Ellison followed Kate to the hall. It was not very spacious but clean. The plants in the courtyard looked nice. However, Ellison's gaze was suddenly fixed on the lounge chair in the courtyard.
"Sir, before checking in, you need to sign an agreement. Can you take a look and see if you can accept it?" Kate handed over a piece of paper. She had no idea why Gloria would draw up such a strange agreement, but she still stuck to it, making no exception.
All the guests had to sign this agreement.
Ellison took over the agreement with his slender fingers. He looked through it and understood why the Facebook posters were driven out of the guesthouse by Gloria.
Kate looked nervously at Ellison, worried that he might refuse to sign the agreement.
Kate was quite anxious when Ellison suddenly said in a deep voice, "Have you got a pen?"
"Yes!" Kate quickly handed over a pen with a big smile on her face.
When Kate was busy helping Ellison check in, Ellison turned around and looked outside. The rocking chair in the yard swayed back and forth in the wind. His lips curled into a smile.
"Sir, what are you looking at?" Kate asked curiously.
"The scenery here is quite good. Can I use that rocking chair?" Ellison turned around and looked at Kate.
"I'm afraid you can't. It is exclusive to my boss. She will bask in the sun and take a nap on it." Kate said bluntly.
Ellison blinked and he quickly hid his emotions. He said regretfully, "I see. So, that's your boss' chair. Okay then."
With that, Ellison and his assistant Danny walked up the stairs with their luggage.
It was afternoon when Ellison moved in. Ellison put on some casual clothes after taking a shower. He stood by the window on the second floor and looked at the lounge chair quietly.
Suddenly, he saw the person lying on the chair move and stood up. It was Gloria.
Ellison hid behind the curtain. He raised his arm to look at his watch, and then said to Danny behind him, "Danny, go buy some food and bring it up. I won't go downstairs for dinner."
He wouldn't go down because he had other plans.
At this moment, the lounge chair downstairs was empty.
The sky gradually darkened.
Gloria had finished dinner. She slowly walked into the yard, just like any other day.
When she walked to the glass door, her footsteps slowed down. There was a trace of doubt in her eyes as she looked at the rocking lounge chair. She moved forward in confusion. This time, the doubt in her eyes turned into shock.
There was a man on the empty chair.
He was holding her coffee cup in his hand and sipping it slowly.
Then the man turned his face around. Revealing a smile on his gentle and handsome face, he said, "Hello, I'm Ellison."
Ellison's eyes were never moved away from Gloria.
He saw the obvious confusion in her clear eyes. He chuckled silently in his heart. 'That's right, how can Gloria remember me?'
Speaking of which, his existence was awkward.
In the Black Thorn Pack, he was an illegitimate child. Life put him in an awkward situation.
Gloria did not know his existence, but she was still in his memory.
When Ellison was young, he often hid and watched the people coming and going into the villa. In addition to the Black Thorn Pack members, there was also a girl with a bright smile. That was Gloria.
When she was in prison, Ellison stood aside and watched coldly with a sense of winning because Gloria was Patrick's mate. It would be great if she suffered.
He used to think so.
He no longer paid attention to Gloria after she was arrested.
When he saw her again after Gloria came out of prison, she no longer had a bright and confident smile.
At that time, Ellison felt a little guilty, but he ignored his feelings. Three years ago, when all the secrets were uncovered, Ellison finally saw stubbornness in Gloria's bones. He felt that Gloria seemed very interesting, so he decided to help her escape.
Unexpectedly, Gloria managed to escape on her own, and he could not find her.
"I mean, my name is Ellison, a new visitor. Kate said that you are the boss here. I thought that you would care about your visitors." Ellison took a sip of coffee and commented, "It tastes very good."
Gloria was stunned again. After a while, she finally understood what Ellison meant.
