She Is A CEO

Chapter 1085 Check-in Registration

Athegate was the sixth-ranked city in the national economy. As soon as they got off the train, Mr. and Mrs. Davidson were amazed by the level of prosperity that was incomparable to their hometown. The constant flow of travelers and pedestrians dressed brightly, and towering buildings could be seen everywhere, making them feel the prosperity of this city.

"Steve, should we call our children?" Eloise was more conservative and instinctively clung to her husband in unfamiliar surroundings with some respectful caution.

"Nia is the CEO of the company and is so busy that she won't have time to pick us up. Eve's health isn't good either. Didn't Eve say she's staying at Dekee Hotel when she went home last time? Let's go find her directly, settle down first, then notify Nia later." Steve was also stunned by all this prosperity but after all he was a man who wouldn't feel uneasy or fearful.

"I think we should notify them first..." Eloise still hesitated.

"We're already here. What difference does it make if we wait a little longer?" Steve smiled at his wife, "We'll see Eve later. She loves our homemade sticky rice sausage while Nia loves sticky rice pudding. We'll give them these things as a surprise."

"Okay." When it came to surprises, Eloise couldn't resist anymore. She agreed, and so they took a taxi heading to Dekee Hotel. They sat back comfortably in their seats. However, the driver clearly had something on his mind. He secretly glanced at this simple couple through his rearview mirror, and had noticed how carefully they were handling their luggage. After thinking for half a moment, he decided to test them.

"You just arrived in Athegate, right?"

"Yes, we're here visiting family." Steve liked talking with people, and felt proud when he thought about how his eldest daughter could stand on her own in this city with her own company. Therefore, his words carried some prideful tone.

"Visiting family? Why don't you go home then?" The driver asked again.

"We're going to stay at a hotel first," Eloise felt that the driver was friendly too so she answered him too.

The driver's eyes flickered for a moment before hesitating. Although what he wanted to say wasn't polite, it seemed like not saying anything would make him uncomfortable. So he simply asked, "Why did you choose Dekee Hotel?"

"What? Is there something wrong with Dekee Hotel?" Steve seemed like he heard something strange.

"No problem, but... don't be upset when I say this. That place is not affordable for ordinary people like us. If you stay there overnight, a regular room costs over 2, 000 dollars per night and the more expensive ones can cost tens of thousands. I'm afraid you might have been fooled by some travel promotion," the driver said.

"What?!" Eloise exclaimed in surprise. Was Dekee Hotel really that expensive? She and her husband only made a combined salary of 6, 000 dollars per month. Could they really afford to spend 2, 000 on just one night at a hotel? When she first heard the name of the hotel, she thought it was just an ordinary one.

"Mr. Driver, are you sure?" she asked with a frown.

She remembered her daughter saying that she lived there!

"I've been in this business for decades and I know every street and alley in Athegate. How could I be unsure? Maybe you should go back home or let me take you to a more suitable hotel," the driver kindly suggested.

Eloise looked at her husband with uncertainty on her face, "Could we have misheard something?"

"No way," Steve replied confidently. "It's definitely Dekee Hotel where Eve is."

"Is Eve your child?" The driver overheard their conversation and imagined what might have happened. "I see now! Maybe your child works there! Sorry for being nosy earlier." Steve laughed awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment as he turned to look at Eloise. Both of them had slight unease in their eyes.

After forty minutes or so, the car finally arrived at Dekee Hotel. The driver had no idea that his two passengers were already stunned when they approached the hotel; as usual he parked right outside its front door, and before they could even move, a doorman came over to open it for them.

Feeling nervous, Eloise got out of the car. As soon as her feet touched the pricey marble floor, she felt dizzy. She couldn't help but notice how grandiose everything was - from inside looking out, the luxurious decor in sight upon entering into lobby made it all seem surreal. She hadn't even picked up her luggage yet, but instead held onto her husband's hand while saying,

"Steve, did we come to wrong place?"

Steve was now starting to doubt his memory, but they had already arrived and the doorman was smiling as he opened the car door for them. It would be too embarrassing to go back now, so Steve secretly pinched his pocket and decided that if he remembered wrong, they will just stay here for one night. He may not like wasting money, but he had a strong sense of pride.

"Let's go in," Steve said.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Eloise's eyebrows were twisted, but she can only watch as the doorman loaded their excessive luggage onto a cart and thoughtfully led them inside.

The automatic doors opened and Eloise tightly gripped Steve's arm as they followed behind the doorman into this grandiose world of luxury. The bright lights from chandeliers illuminated everything around them. Steve walked carefully on the spotless marble floor so as not to damage anything.

The doorman pushed their luggage up to the front desk before leaving them alone with a polite receptionist who immediately asked if they had already booked a room.

Steve was momentarily speechless. He didn't know how to answer directly without asking whether or not their daughter Eve lived here. What if he remembered wrong? At over two thousand dollars per day there was no way Eve could afford staying here!

Steve remained silent while Eloise held her breath nervously waiting for him to respond.

The receptionist noticed their hesitation and took an unkind glance at their attire and trivial belongings; although she wasn't impolite yet, her tone had become somewhat harsh. "Are you two checking in?"

Just when Steve didn't know how to respond anymore, something caught his eye- someone familiar walking down from upstairs- it was Eve!

He had seen her walk out from upstairs moments ago but before calling out happily for his daughter, something else caught his attention: there was someone behind her...

Eloise followed his gaze towards where Lauren emerged from behind Eve holding hands with each other tenderly. Lauren reminded Eve, "Slow down". Their initial excitement turned into shock within seconds upon seeing this scene unfold before them both in disbelief.
