246 CHAPTER 246: A LITTLE HELP

She woke up at 7am. Seems like her alarm clock wasn't that effective or was she very tired last night? ah! That Clement! It was definitely his fault. If he had only send them home early then they should not have slept late. now, she'll gonna pay the price.

She jerked when she remembered Miracle. She needs to be in school at 8. Dang! she immediately woke up and dash to the shower room but when she was about to remove her shirt, she went to see Mira first. She also needs to take a bath so why not go together instead.

As soon as she opened the door to the child's room, she was surprised to see a little kid drying her hair using a white towel. She was also wearing her school uniform.

"Eh? Mira? since when did you wake up?"

The young girl looks at her lazily. "six." Then she went back to drying her hair. "Mom, I can't be late today."

Then Alex suddenly remember what time is it and went back to the shower room. unbelievingly, she took a bath only for 10 minutes.

She was able to send Mira to school before 8 and so she sighed. ah, if that kid gets late, she will definitely slash out. yeah, that little girl, she has a cold-bitch side. To whom did she inherit that kind of attitude? She's not sure either.

As soon as she saw her child got inside her classroom, she immediately run to the bus stop and waited for another twenty minutes. Dang! she will be late, that's for sure. what would she do? she can't afford to be late since they will have a meet and greet with the CEO this morning.

Also, the employees said that the great CEO, although handsome, was a cold blooded and heartless man, without no mercy. Oh no!

Meanwhile, Ethan woke up at seven in the morning. And as usual, he took his shower and as he comes out, he found a munchful breakfast on his dining table. What is this? a feast? This is a food for five people! did they believe that he can finish them all? he sighed.

As soon as he finished his breakfast, he prepared himself for the meet and greet with the new hotel employees. He was about to get out of the room when the door ringed. He opened and saw the branch director standing neatly-well dressed. The man greeted him with a smile. Nice.

"Sir, I am here to pick you up."

"I'm ready. Show the way." He motioned the branch director.

Ethan was on the conference room 10 minutes early. But he was also surprised to see the employees along with their managers. Oh, good. they do know how strict he is with time. however, he could see a restless woman who kept glancing on her phone then to her wristwatch. She must be a manager since she is wearing a managerial suit.

Ethan waited for the time to reach exactly 8am before he asked the branch director if all the employees are present as of the moment.

"S-sir, we are missing one employee." He answered. "But we will begin with or without her."

"Good." he coldly uttered. "And also, tell her manager that I don't need employees who cannot manage their time." then he sat on his designated seat.

The branch director slightly jolted. He is so inconsiderate. Did he mean that he wanted to terminate the employee? He's so mean! He scoffed. however, he cannot defy the CEO's order so he called the manager and ordered her to end the employee's contract today.

"Yes sir, I understand."

Ethan only spoke for five minutes and made sure to welcome all the new employees. But unknown to him, almost all the women inside were ogling at him, the she managers were not excluded of course.

He was dazzling as he speaks in front of them. although he was obviously cold and a bit distant, but that only added more charisma for the women. And when they learnt that he was single, they got more excited. and unknown to Ethan, plans of seducing him was running on their minds right now.

Alex dashed to the conference room as soon as she got off the bus. She was sweating profusely, however, the hall was already empty. Instantly, she felt the need to talk to her manager. Ah, that unfriendly manager. She sighed.

"Miss Sheila, I'm sorry that I was late. I promise not to, moving forward." She uttered humbly.

The woman scoffed at her. she really hates her and Alex doesn't even know why. "Miss Alex Miran, I'm sure that it won't ever happen again cause from now on, you don't have to come to work anymore." the manager was about to leave but Alex held her arm.

"Miss Sheila, what do you mean?" she was confused. "Please don't tell me that your terminating me because I was a few minutes late?"

"I just did." The manager sarcastically voiced and pulled her arms away from her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"Miss Sheila, please, don't do this. I can't lose this job right now. I promise you … I---''

"Miss Miran, even if you kneel in front of me, I can't do anything about it since it was the CEO's order in the first place."

"Eh? The CEO?" she clenched her teeth.

"So if you want to save yourself and keep working at this hotel, then talk to the CEO and not me because I am a mere employee like you." she smirked knowing that the woman can't possibly have an audience with the CEO.

Alex was dumbfounded. Talk to the CEO? How could she even do that? the CEO can't simply meet with anyone!

The manager left her in daze. after much consideration, she made up her mind. then she will just look for another job. is this the only hotel that pays high? She snorted and slowly went out. she even went such a hassle to retailor her work uniform since she hated that pencil cut pink skirt.

She was about to exit when she heard a man and a woman arguing in the lobby. They were shouting at each other that it has caught other people's attention. The hotel employees couldn't even stop them. the man was a little rude and Alex instinctively knew that he will hit the woman. however, before the man even raised his hand, she took her black heel shoes and rigidly throw it on the man's head. it exactly hit his forehead and a little blood trickled down his cheek.

Bullseye! She smirked. Ah, looks like she exerted a little strength just now. maybe she was so upset that she needed to release it. the arguing couples were shocked at the speed of the events. but the employees and the front-desk manager was even more surprised when they glanced to where the shoes came from. she was wearing an employee uniform! Dang! they're doomed!

She knew that what she did will worsen her situation. If the higher ups discover what she just did with their customer, they will surely ban her from working at the hotel forever. The woman must have notice her so she walked towards the lady standing lazily but confidently.

"I think you're in big trouble, miss." She voiced kindly. "Won't you be terminated for doing that?" it was the woman who was arguing with the man.

She smiled. "It's okay, it's my last day anyway." she chuckled.

"Eh?" the woman knitted her brow. "It can't be true. I won't allow that to happen. Don't worry, I'll talk to the owner and speak good things on your behalf." she smirked.

So this woman knew that inconsiderate CEO? Hmm… Alex was thinking for a while. well, guess a little help isn't that bad. Might as well think as a blessing in disguise. After much thought, she smiled at the woman. "Please do."
