Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 79

I was about to give up and just call Charlotte to ask for her room number myself when suddenly, the receptionist's expression became serious as she looked behind me.

"Mr. Hart!"

I turned around and saw a man in a suit walking in. I recognized this man. He used to be my dad's driver.

"Victor?"

"Mr. White!" Victor looked shocked to see me. He approached me, eyes wide open. "When did you come here? You should've called me!"

"I just came with my friends. I didn't even know you owned this place."

Victor chuckled, "What do you mean I own this place? Don't you know? This hotel belongs to Mr. White Senior. I'm just managing it for him."

This was my dad's hotel all along? I was confused.

Honestly, my dad owned way too many businesses. He loved trying everything. At this point, I had lost count of how many enterprises he had under his name.

"Mr. White, if you bring your friends over in the future, just give me a call, and I'll arrange the best rooms for you. Brenda, upgrade Mr. White and his friends' rooms to the best ones!"

The receptionist looked pale. She looked at me apologetically before processing Victor's request.

I stopped her. "Don't worry about it."

Suddenly, the receptionist rushed toward me and grabbed my arm.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. White. Please forgive me. I… I made a mistake. I shouldn't have said all that to you. I'm sorry! I really am!"

However, I realized that this simple decision of mine could directly affect Charlotte's fate, so I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Lucas asked frustratingly.

I tried to calm myself down and replied, "It's me. I need to see Charlotte for something."

Moments later, the door opened. Charlotte was standing in front of me. Fortunately, her clothes were still intact.

She crossed her arms, scanning me up and down in frustration. "You wanted to see me?"

"Yeah. Charlotte, I want to ask you a question, and you have to be honest with me. Do you actually like Lucas and want to be with him?"

She was stunned at my question. She stared at me for a good five seconds and let out a scoff. "William, you can't actually be interested in me, can you?"
