Lexi conciously pulled her v neckline to hide some marks peeking. Then she suddenly halts, her jacket! She opened her bag and it is not there. "Oh no!" She muttered.

Lexi walked to the reception area aware that all eyes are on her. The receptionist is quite young. Early twenties maybe and has a sweet smile but nervousness can be seen on her eyes.

"Hi Miss! How can I help?" She smiles but her hands trembles a little. "Hi There! Eeerr...Can you do me a favor?" I mean she will never be a guest to this hotel again. This is way out of her league so no need to be discreet. "I forgot my jacket at your Presidential Suite. It is somewhat important to me, can you tell the guest to just leave it here? Then can you call me and I will just pick it up?"

"Sure thing! I will tell Mr. Li your message." She smiles again but her lips shakes a little.

"Thanks! You said Mr. Li? Are you referring to the secretary of Mr. Alexander Lu?" She tries not to look stupid ang stops her face to look surprise. That is the reason bodyguards came running and threw the bad guys away. He is the face of the Lu Company here.

"Yes! You are right!"

"Ahem, we don't disclose information of guests." He looks like a person in authority. He is at his fourties and looks sharp. His name tag shows Jay Teng, Hotel Manager.

The receptionist bows her head. "I am so sorry Mr. Teng."

He didn't throw even a glance at her. "Don't worry miss, your message will be delivered properly" Slighly bows. "Have a good day. Would you like me to get you a cab?"

"Thanks! I can manage. Here you go" Lexi hands her business card. "Please call me or send a message for my jacket"

She is more careful in her every step. She knows that every employee here wants to know who the girl Mr. Li spent the night with. Oh well.. Hope they will enjoy the stories that will be told and re told maybe hundred times. They are too smart to be tangled with a no good lady like her.

Alexander can still smell lavender and it makes him smile. He reaches to his side and suddenly opens his eyes when he finds that it is empty. Where is she? He can still smell her. Then he saw a brown jacket is hanging on the bedside table. He frowns.

Morning is already felt outside with the burst of the sun rays and the blinding light. He glances on his phone 7 am. Hmmm.. Quite late for an early riser like him.

He remembered last night and he suddenly need to have a cold shower. Her m.o.a.ns, her teeth that sinks to his shoulder instead of screaming, her claws that digs on back. She doesn't really care about pain. He can say that. As he stands, he saw the stain on the bed. She is full of surprises. From assaulting an actor to s.e.x.u.a.lly provoking the ric.h.e.s.t man on this side of the earth.

He showered still thinking of her and the cold water did not do much.

"Good Morning! How's Lisa?" Mario is already instructing the hotel personnels where to place his breakfast. "She is alright. A bit shaken but alright

You know how s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e she gets when it comes to violence." Mario did not even lift his head to meet his and is still checking his meal.

"So, who is the unfortunate damsel in distress that you have the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e sharing your bed last night." This time Mario is now sitting checking on the news feed on his phone and sips his coffee.

He figured he saw the blood. "You don't know her." Then smiles and happily munch the sandwich. "This is delicious!"

"Cut the crap! You don't like breakfast. You just eat it because you need energy for the whole day. What happened?" Mario side aside his phone and now sits matter-of-factly in front of him.

"Well, I will really need more energy these days." Alexander smiles menacingly. "Hotel Anniversary is tomorrow, right? We have to make sure that the security is tight. You know the drill."

Mario releases a deep breath. "You will not really tell me. Well...." He gets a piece of paper on the inner pocket of his coat. " Lexi Min wants her jacket. She will pick it up once you check out." He hands over her business card.

Oh would you look at that! He is just about to call Lucas, his head of security to check on her. And there it is, her business card. Lexi Min, Freelancer Project Implementation Manager Customer Service. Indeed, it is going to be along day. He stands and carefully places the jacket on top of his bed.
