No woman had ever made Justin feel so defeated. Even when Rosalind used him and betrayed him, all


    he felt was anger.


    Justin let out a wry smile at the sight of the newly improved hotel lobby. KS World Hotel ran a tighter


    ship than the Salvador Hotel.


    Be presented herself as inexperienced and submissive when she


    married Justin. Although he had never looked down upon her for being from the countryside, Justin felt


    she did not belong in his world.


    It dawned on him now that it was the other way around. It was him trying to catch up to her.


    Be put aside her pride and dignity to stay by his side for three


    years. He was the closest to her when they were married.


    He was never the one who was unattainable.


    Steven was talking to two executives of the hotel about work hen he


    turned around and saw Justin in the lobby.


    Shocked at first, Steven quickly pulled a long face.


    “That’s it for now. You should get to work.”


    “Of course, Mr. Lovett.”


    After dismissing the executives, Steven aloofly took strides toward


    JuJustin.


    M”Mr. Salvador, the restaurant is to your left, the bar is to your right,


    anand the café is on the third floor. If you wish to book a room, you can


    head to the reception desk.”


    “I want to see Ms. Thompson.” Justin cut to the case, his face expressionless. He scanned the ce.


    “My boss is too busy to see every Tom, Dick, or Harry.” Steven


    sneered.


    If Steven did not have to demonstrate courtesy at the hotel, he would


    have released the hounds on Justin.


    “Say whatever you want, but I must see her today.”


    Justin realized that he had developed thick skin. In the past, he would


    walk away after being insulted. This time, he yed dumb to stay.


    It did not hurt him to take a scolding. Justin probably would not sleep


    well at night if he did not meet with Be, though.


    “Ms. Be won’t see you, Justin. You’ll only upset her.”


    Steven narrowed his eyes at the man, his teeth clenched. He barked in


    a chilling voice, “If you know better, you should leave this ce at once. So long as I am here, you can


    forget about seeing her.”


    “Sure, but I need Be to tell me that.”


    The man refused to budge, and the determination showed in his eyes.


    “You can’t make that decision for her.”


    “Justin! Are you trying to cause a ruckus?”


    Hot under the cor, Steven wanted to give Justin a piece of his mind


    when a cheery voice came from behind.


    The voice crawled under Justin’s skin.


    “Mr. Lovett, is Be around?”


    Justin turned around and saw Christopher strolling into the lobby, looking sharp.


    The two good-looking men stood before Steven. Although the men refused to acknowledge each


    other’s existence, Steven could feel the sparks of animosity flying between them.


    Steven could potentially get himself caught in a crossfire.


    Christopher could not arrive at a worse time.


    Steven was tempted to lock the two men in the same room so they could have a go at one another.


    “We are in a public space, Mr. Iverson. You should address her respectfully as Ms. Be or Ms.


    Thompson, especially in the hotel sheN?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    manages. Steven was indifferent to both Christopher and Justin.


    Justin curled his lips, finding Be’s secretary less of an eyesore at this very moment.


    “Fine. Is Ms. Thompson around? What time will she be free tonight?”


    Christopher was unoffended. He knew when to yield. “I wish to have


    dinner with her tonight to thank her for getting Christian’s


    autographed album for my mother.”


    “She’s busy.” Steven was telling Justin and Christopher that.


    “I can wait.”


    Justin and Christopher replied in unison.
