Chapter 351 Presidential Suite
The school booked the hotel rooms for them. It was a new hotel near the competition venue so that it would be convenient for the students.
It was not a luxury hotel but was newly opened, so it was clean and decent. Everyone took their driver’s license to check in at the reception, and Ronin offered to help Catherine.
But when it was Ronin’s turn, the receptionist only handed him one key card. Ronin found it strange and asked, ” What’s wrong? Why did you only give me one key card? I have two driver’s licenses with me. Did you make a mistake?”
The receptionist looked at Ronin politely and was respectful to him.
“Sir, don’t worry. Miss Swann’s room is quite special. I have asked our manager to come and check in for her. Here’s your key card. You can have a rest in your room first.”
Ronin was confused, wondering why the receptionist said so. Ronin looked back at Catherine and saw her leaning against the back of the sofa. She looked relaxed.
Sensing Ronin’s gaze, Catherine raised her head slightly and glanced at him, saying casually, “You can go to your room.”
“No,” Ronin refused Catherine and sat by her, waiting together with her. Fortunately, the manager came fast. He arrived the moment Ronin sat down.
The manager was in a neat suit. He walked to Catherine with respect.” Excuse me. Are you Miss Catherine Swann?”
Catherine nodded, and the manager handed a key card to her even without checking her driver’s license.
“Miss Swann, your room is on the eighth floor. This is your room card. May I send your luggage to your room?”
When the manager’s words fell, Ronin took Catherine’s suitcase and said, “No need. I will do it.”
Ronin hated that people always offered to help Catherine no matter where they were. Ronin was worried that Catherine might not need him anymore if he did not act actively.
After getting the key card, Catherine stood straight and went upstairs to her room. However, it was a small world. They met Liana on the elevator, who took it from the lower ground level. Ronin scowled at Liana and walked into the elevator.
“Catherine, give me your key card.” Ronin reached out his hand at Catherine. They needed the card to press the floor button their rooms were at. They tapped the card on the device, and the floor button would light up immediately.
Catherine gave the key card to Ronin, and the latter tapped it on the device.
“Eighth floor,” the machine voice broadcasted.
“Catherine, my room is on the sixth floor. Why is yours on the eighth floor? “Ronin complained unhappily. No one noticed that Liana, standing behind them, had her expression changed dramatically.
After she checked in and went to her room, she found out that her room was too small and was not facilitated enough. She planned to pay and upgrade her room herself.
But the hotel told her that the only presidential suite on the eighth floor was reserved for the top VIP guest.
Since that was the case, there was nothing Liana could do. She could only blame the school for being too stingy and booked an average hotel for them, which had only one presidential suite.
Liana did not dwell on it at first. Anyway, they would only stay there for one day. After knowing that Catherine was the top VIP guest of the hotel, Liana could not stand it anymore. Why on earth did the jinx deserve the best presidential suite?
Catherine was a bumpkin from the countryside. It was outrageous that Catherine had a better room than she did.
The elevator doors opened, and Ronin noticed Liana standing still like a fool. He rolled his eyes and reminded Liana, “What are you waiting for? Are you going out or not? Or is your room on the eighth floor, too?”
His words interrupted Liana’s thoughts. She glared at Ronin and suppressed the anger in her heart. Liana thought, “Catherine just wants to show off her presidential suite while I could only stay in a regular room.
“Who cares other than the bumpkin from the countryside that hasn’t seen the world?”
Liana snorted coldly and strode out of the elevator. Heavy stamps sounded. As the elevator doors closed, Ronin’s face darkened. He mimicked Liana’s snort and said, Humph!”
“Catherine, why do you think that the chick is always arrogant? We never provoked her, did we? Why does she always act like we owe her money?”
Ronin had always been dissatisfied with Liana. If it were not that Liana was Catherine’s sister, Ronin would have already given Liana trouble.
Ronin disliked anyone who had it in for Catherine.
As they talked, they had arrived at the eighth floor.
When the elevator doors opened, Ronin finally understood why Catherine’s room was on the eighth floor. His room on the sixth floor was a regular single room. There was nothing special, but it was clean. The entire eighth floor belonged to the presidential suite Catherine stayed in. It was beyond luxury.
Looking around the spacious room, Ronin could not help but exclaim, ” Catherine, how could you not tell us that you upgraded your room? No wonder the manager has received you personally, and Liana looked at you in hatred. Your room is much better than hers.”
Catherine had no idea about the presidential suite.
But she did not guess to know who did that for her.
“I’m sleepy.” Catherine threw her tired body to the sofa aside. Ronin put the travel mug on the chair beside Catherine. “Catherine, here’s the rose liqueur I prepared for you. I should go. Call me anytime.”
“Alright,” Catherine replied muffledly in tiredness.
Ronin took his suitcase and left.
As long as he left, Catherine’s phone rang. It was Branden’s video call, and Catherine answered it. The next second, Catherine saw Branden’s charming face on the screen.
“Are you in the hotel room?” Branden’s voice was pleasant to hear, as always. Catherine was too exhausted and did not bother responding to him.
Branden did not mind. He asked several questions and cut off the call, knowing that Catherine wanted to sleep. Catherine closed her eyes immediately after the call ended. Ten minutes later, Catherine, lying on the sofa, opened her eyes abruptly.
There was coldness in her eyes. She sat up straight and changed into all black before she left the hotel room.
When she reached the hotel lobby, the phone in her pocket rang. A crisp voice sounded in her ear through the receiver, “Chief, it’s me, Rodge.”
Catherine looked at the time and replied, “I will see you in your lab in ten minutes.”
“Chief, do you mean it? It seems our captain is not lying. I’m going to meet you in person!” Rodge Milton’s voice was full of excitement. He seemed thrilled at Catherine’s arrival. Catherine did not speak and heard the delighted voice expressionlessly.
A few seconds later, Rodge realized he was too happy and apologized awkwardly, “I’m sorry. I got carried away at the thought of meeting you. “We are all in the lab, waiting for you!”
