Chapter 1774: Where Is She?
The waiter had been keeping his eye on Ye Qianqian for a long time. Eventually, he could no longer bear to watch her chug down more beer all by herself.
He went to the bathroom. By the time he returned, he realized that she was gone.
He initially thought that she had probably gone to use the bathroom.
After he paced back and forth three times, she was still nowhere to be found.
The waiter finally decided to head into the bathroom. The moment he entered, he caught a whiff of the terrible stench of alcohol. There was even the nauseating acidic odor of vomit.
The waiter pinched his nose as he forced himself to look around. He spotted a cellphone on the sofa.
It was a pretty rose gold cellphone. When he held it up, he realized that it was engaged in a call.
The time indicated that the call had gone on for close to two hours. The waiter was at a loss for words. When he saw the cellphone was clean, he turned off the music and placed the cellphone up to his ear. “Hello?”
Shen Zhilie was searching blindly at the KTV near the house. He constantly kept an eye on the response from the other end of the call.
The unexpected man’s voice caused every single nerve in Shen Zhilie’s body to tense up.
Shen Zhilie’s eyes narrowed into slits almost reflexively. He asked, “Who is this?”
When the waiter heard the voice, he knew that the owner of the voice was ill-intentioned.
He gave a slight cough before he replied, “Hello, how is the owner of this cellphone related to you?”
“She is my woman. Where is she?”
“That lady is drunk. She probably left already, but her cellphone is still in the suite…”
“She left? Where did she go?” Shen Zhilie’s heart was almost at his throat. “How could you all allow this to happen? Can’t you even take proper care of your customers? How could you allow a drunk lady to leave like that!”
“Um… We can’t control the freedom of our customers to come or to leave, but she probably left not long ago. She shouldn’t be too far away.”
“Where is your place? Hurry and give me the address. I’ll head over now.”
The waiter relayed the address to him before he placed the cellphone at the reception.
After Shen Zhilie flagged down a cab, he realized that the location was extremely far away.
It was a good 18 miles away from their home.
By the time Shen Zhilie reached the location, close to an hour had passed.
He found the phone, but where was she?
…
Ye Qianqian’s head hit the pillows. She slept like a starfish.
When she woke up, her head was swimming. It felt as if it was about to explode.
Ye Qianqian’s brows knitted together into a tight frown. Unwittingly, she was fully drenched with sweat. As she got up from bed, she recalled that she had fallen asleep in the hotel.
As she fanned herself, she realized that she did not even insert her hotel card to turn on the power.
Ye Qianqian’s whole body was burning up. She put the hotel card in and turned on the air conditioner. She scanned her surroundings. To her surprise, the name of the hotel could be found everywhere. The five stars on the logo was an indication of how distinguished the place, where she was sleeping, was.
Ye Qianqian suddenly felt her heart ache. She began to feel sorry about wasting her money.
It was right to say to act on Dutch courage.
If it was under normal circumstances, Ye Qianqian would never have visited a five-star hotel.
First, it was expensive. Second, it was expensive. Third, it was expensive.
“Oh, how could I be so impulsive? What a miscalculation!”
Feeling sorry for herself, Ye Qianqian felt for her cellphone to check on the time. After she searched all over, she could not find where she had placed it.
“God damn it…” Ye Qianqian whacked herself on the head. She was so irritated and annoyed that she was rendered speechless.
“Even my cellphone is missing. Who can match the extent of my misfortune?”
Ye Qianqian made a call to the reception via the landline in the room. Her head throbbed with pain.
