Chapter 1 Miguel's Return (Part One)
As Leena Yang glanced at her watch, she immediately rushed into the dressing room. She threw in her
shoulder bag, murmuring to herself, "Don't be late. Don't be late!" There were only five minutes left!
Leena Yang threw her sneakers to the side of the dressing room before unzipping her shoulder bag.
She dug out some high heels and lingerie.
She opened her locker and took out her suit. After getting dressed up, the image of an innocent college
student faded away in the picture. Standing there was a strong business woman ready to take on the
world.
Leena Yang Yang tied her long hair in a bun, leaving no strands out. She then took out her sunblock
and rubbed it on her face. Without another word, she walked right out of the dressing room. Mary, who
was outside waiting for her, was stunned.
"Director Leena, I didn't know you were so fast! It only took you three minutes to change."
Mary was just a waitress, and she was also working under Leena Yang. Mary rushed in to put the other
stuff away.
According to the rules of their five-star hotel, waiters must be dressed properly. Except for necessary
accessories, other jewelries, including watches, shouldn't be worn. It was a strict directive that
everyone must follow.
"I slept late last night, and I woke up late," Leena Yang grumbled, frustrated.
"But you're always on time." Mary blinked in surprise. Normally, Leena Yang was never late. In fact, she
was always on time that some might believe she was a robot!
Pursing her lips, Leena Yang didn't bother to reply. She actually stayed up last night because she was
finishing up her paper. She didn't go to bed till three in the morning. Finally, she went to the hotel at
eight in the morning to organize the cleaning staff, so she was almost late.
For these years, she had kept her life as a student a secret from her co-workers.
Leena Yang strutted out the dressing room, nodding at the waiters passing by. It was then when Lewis
Liu, the general manager of the hotel, walked in. Seeing that she was in such high spirits, he waved his
hand and pulled her into his office. "Promise your Uncle Lewis that you'll finish your work this month. I'll
introduce better jobs for you after."
Leena Yang frowned. "Doesn't Simon want me working here?" Simon was the boss of the hotel.
"No." Lewis Liu shook his head.
Leena Yang spread her arms exasperatedly. "I've done my job well here. It's been six years and I know
for a fact no one does this job better than I do. I still want this job."
"Your father died dear, and I feel obligated to take care of you. You entered the hotel at such a young
age! Our hotel may have strict regulations for its clients and management, but we can't go off pissing a
lot of people. You might not get married in the future!" he said worriedly.
Leena Yang knew exactly what he was saying. He was talking about the incident wherein she got into a
fight with a rich man. The man was being incredibly unreasonable with his harassment to the other
waitress. Leena Yang had to step in and solve the issue, but she had inadvertently offended him. The
man had threatened to take his revenge, but she only blacklisted him in response. Since then, he
wasn't allowed to enter the hotel anymore.
She sighed. "Uncle Lewis, I've never expected that I'll live a good life after my father's death. Besides,
as long as my mother and brother are living well, then you don't have to worry about me. Let me work."
Lewis Liu wanted to say more, but she interrupted him. "Uncle Lewis, you don't have to introduce me to
other jobs. This place suits me, plus I often have classes." She intended to earn money enough for her
to get a master's degree.
After that, she'd find a well-paid job and jumped out the seas of poverty. The world is a cruel place,
especially when you aren't part of the middle-class.
Lewis Liu sighed, knowing he wasn't going to get anywhere arguing with her.
Leena Yang was from a rich family. Unfortunately, her father committed suicide. After the incident, her
elder brother had debts to pay due to his failed business. From then on, it was as if she'd grown Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
through a reversal of the Cinderella story, and it straightened Leena Yang out. It became her
responsibility to take care of her sick mother and twelve-year-old brother. She had classes in the day,
and she had to work in the evenings.
Although she had a tough time during her college life, she still received full marks!
When Leena Yang strolled down the corridor of the hotel, the past crept up her mind. Her smile faltered
slightly. Her father's properties had all been confiscated after the incident, and her brother had fled for
the debts that had piled up against him. This was why her family moved into a shabby house in the
small alleys. She'd been working ever since she was in high school, so there wasn't a job that she
wasn't unfamiliar with. When she entered the university, she asked Lewis Liu to hire her in the hotel
starting as a waiter. Now, she was a department supervisor. Many people had come to respect her.
The Heaven Hotel was owned by the prestigious Ling Group, a famous entertainment company. The
Ling Group was not the only group dominating the entertainment circle, but also they had stems in
different sectors that their influence was infinite. Today, a group of rich men came to the Heaven Hotel
for some fun. It was hard to find out who they were. The rich didn't easily reveal their identity, but as far
as Lewis Liu knew, they were well-distinguished.
The hotel had plenty of entertainment and service facilities. Even the sky rotating restaurant on top of
the building was theirs. However, these guys didn't just come here to eat.
