Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 224

Leanna went back to her room, but she couldn’t sleep anymore. She stared at the wall for a while and looked at the balcony. Nothing. No movements. Was I hallucinating? This is odd. There’s no reason for Aidan and the hotel’s top brass to lie to me, though… unless I’m overestimating his ethics.

She shook her head and went to get a hot shower to relieve her tension. Just as she was drying her hair after a shower, someone rang the doorbell.

Leanna thought it was Elijah. She turned her blow dryer off and said that she was coming. Then, she changed into her clothes and went to open the door, but the first thing she saw after opening the door was the hotel’s manager. Standing behind him was an inscrutable Aidan. His hand was in his pocket while his focus was on the ground.

The manager smiled. “Ma’am, you said you heard something? Is everything well?”

Leanna forced a smile. “It’s alright. I was hearing things…”

Aidan looked at her and said coolly, “You should try to solve your problems instead of running away from them.”

Shut up, she thought.

The manager said, “May we head inside, ma’am? If something is wrong with the room, we can move you to another one.”

Leanna mused over it and nodded. I should let him check the room. If I hear that sound one more time at night, I’ll lose my mind. She let them in.

The manager checked the room and knocked on the wall. He said, “There’s nothing wrong with the room, ma’am, but you can have a change of rooms if you want. Someone will check this room again later. As a token of apology, we’ll give you a free nighttime sightseeing session.”

Leanna glanced at Aidan and smiled. “Thanks, but it’s alright. The change of room is enough.”

“Um…” C’mon, come up with an excuse. “Ma’am, it is our fault this happened, and you deserve compensation. Our motto is to make every guest feel at home. Please, you must take the gift.”
