Chapter 5 - 5: I'm No Man's Woman

"Are you all done?" Kim Eunji squinted her eyes to the manager and to the group.

"Then... can I speak now." Kim Eunji added as she heaved a sigh and touched the space between her brows. Her head is starting to ache and she had no time for this drama.

If this was in the past, making things difficult for her only means DEATH for the perpetrators.

After she left her past life, she seldom encounters provocation and confrontations like this. If she did, it was her best friend Kelly who would come to her rescue.

"Slandering me in front of these honorable guests without valid evidence to support your claims. Calling me a paparazzi. Look at me... Do I look like one?..." Eunji's indifferent expression drastically changed which made the manager's firm footing staggered.

She knew that a person was judged by the clothing he wore. Because she looked cheap they dare bully her.

Her mocking and condescending expression towards Kim Eunji suddenly changed as her beautiful face paled and cold sweats formed in her forehead. However, Kim Eunji commended her in her heart as the manager only staggered a bit, regained her tough facade back and was now standing firmly but gone were those arrogant eyes.

Kim Eunji's aura when triggered would never be pleasant.

Her feline-shaped heterochromia eyes became dead serious as she made her advance towards the manager. The manager was already shorter than Kim Eunji. This fact made Kim Eunji chuckled. Not because she was bullying her height but because the manager was close to collapsing on the ground.

Kim Eunji dropped her duffle bag on the ground and placed her hands on the manager's shoulder. The latter flinched when she felt Kim Eunji's palm touched on her shoulder.

Kim Eunji then bent her head and her face draw closer to the manager's face which made the manager alarmed. "Afraid? Don't be. I am not done yet..." Kim Eunji huskily whispered these warning to the manager's ears. She could feel the manager shuddering on her touch.

The bystanders were caught off-guard by Kim Eunji's actions.

'Is she flirting with her?' They thought in unison.

As she draw back, she intentionally caress her face using the tip of her index finger. Her action made the woman flinch in her touch.

Kim Eunji showed her enchanting smile and calmly said in a loud and clear voice which was enough for everyone to hear including the receptionist, "Call the General Manager."

After she said that she leisurely walked towards the couch of the lobby and dropped herself. She leaned back and closed her eyes for a moment.

As she did, the guests were in awe as Kim Eunji's ethereal beauty shone brighter even with her eyes closed. Her visual was simply no joke. She was like a still portrait.

The floor manager wanted to protest as she saw Kim Eunji's back but the female receptionist beat her first.

While waiting for the General Manager of the resort to go down, Eunji thought about what she did earlier. While she was inside the mercenary academy, they were trained to flirt with both gender. However, during their mission, she never used that method to anyone. She preferred her presence was not noticed by her prey.

Therefore, this was the first time that she flirted with anyone. Indeed, intimidation with a mix of little flirting would break someone's strong composure.

Though she could feel the sharp gaze that she felt from Master Ling, she paid him no attention to their group at all. She knew his ego was provoked by her that's why she thought that he would leave but she was wrong.

Instead, Master Ling took a seat directly opposite to her.

Master Ling was not only fascinated by her beauty but also he found her interesting. Therefore, he wanted to stay and watch how she would turn the events. If she failed, he would offer his help once again and he was confident that she won't decline. He had the plan of making her his woman.

Entertainment... People who belonged to the top 1% of the hierarchy always find other people's misfortune entertaining. Especially those who belonged in the levels below them.

He wanted Master Bai to join him and watch the fun together but the latter already left. He thought that he had other meetings to tend to but he didn't know that the latter already made his way in the suite.

Master Ling patiently waited for the General Manager to arrive.

Master Ling was a handsome man. But his visual paled in comparison when he stood beside the group of the most eligible bachelors in China. This group were none other than Nathan Bai's circle.

Now that Nathan Bai was gone, he thought that he now had the chance to charm the woman whose identity was unknown.

Moments later, Kim Eunji heard foot steps coming her way. They were steady and with authority. It must be the General Manager she wished to see.

She slowly opened her eyes and leisurely stood up. She sighed as she looked at the man who was now standing in the beside the couch. The showed no signs of contempt towards her which was already a good sign.

This means that he had a much better judgement with the situation therefore it's easier to talk to him rather than the close-minded floor manager.

"Good afternoon Ma'am. It was brought to my attention that you were causing a commotion earlier and was hesitant to leave the premises even if one of our managers told you to do so. Is it true?" He did not beat around the bush as he confronted him.

Eunji's eyes took a quick glance towards the manager who humiliated her earlier and her brows quirked up a bit. She then sighed before she spoke. "Yes, it's true that I was hesitant to leave the premises. However, have you been informed why?"

As Eunji said this, the female manager was struck dumbfounded. She forgot the protocol. Because of this, she suddenly felt uneasy especially when their General Manager threw a quick glance towards her direction.

Their interaction was noticed by Kim Eunji. 'Interesting.' Kim Eunji thought.

"Also, they called me a paparazzi just because my camera was hanged in my neck. Is this the culture and the morale of the employees a 7-star hotel should have? This low? It did not fit the brand that you had been painting in the minds of your customers for the past 5 years at all. I would surely give your QPRC a negative review if I was an influencer. General Manger Lee, I think you should reassess your employees.

Kim Eunji's words were like a big slap to him. He was not happy about it. Therefore he called out the attention of the two guards and the manager.

"In my office now!" Then he turned his attention to Kim Eunji who was now wearing an indifferent expression on her face.

"Miss, may I request for you to come with us? We have to solve this matter immediately."

"GM Lee. As much as I agree with you, but I'll decline your invitation. Isn't it impolite to delay me more. The time that I should be spending sleeping in my comfortable bed upstairs was already wasted by this drama. What do you think?"

"So you claimed that you have a reservation here? Why are we not informed about it." GM Lee asked in a surprise tone.

"BINGO! Finally! Finally you got it right!" Relief was overflowing in her tone.

She then picked up her duffle bag and went to the receptionist.

But an irritating voice rang with maliciousness in them.

"Con. She must be a con artist GM Lee. Don't believe that woman! Guards threw here out! Now!" The female manager was already in denial. She could not believe that the girl they looked down could afford a suite in this resort. She would believe if they were a 5-star hotel. But they aren't!

"Miss. Will you stop courting death?" Kim Eunji mumbled in her breath.

"Manager Jiang! Don't make the situation even worse." GM Lee reprimanded her.

Master Ling who had been watching the drama could not help but chuckle.

"GM Lee don't worry. This woman is with me. She was just quite rebellious and wanted to prove herself to me that's why I gave her the chance to do so. Convince me that she's capable of making you believe that she booked a room on this resort. Seems like she was successful, therefore the show is over. Should we go now? We still want to enjoy and have fun."

"Is that so?" GM Lee sighed. A misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding. Everything went back to normal as soon as they heard Master Ling's words.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your quality time together. Alright, both of you may go to your suite. I'll let my other manager to accompany you Master Ling. And the management hope that this will be the last time that Master Ling would play a prank in here."

Master Ling smiled in satisfaction and said, "I promise GM Lee, this will be the last time." He was about to grab Kim Eunji's hand but the latter dodged it.

"Honey, stop being stubborn okay? Behave and let's go!" Of course Master Ling had to show his authority towards her in front of everyone else.

But Kim Eunji suddenly spoke in a calm tone.

"Indeed. It was a misunderstanding, GM Lee. I'm no man's woman." She then turned her attention to Master Ling as she added, "I never knew and met this delusional man in the past. As far as I could remember, today is our first meeting, no? Therefore, how come we're together? If you want to keep your life, don't dare approach me. Your shamelessness stinks. It makes me want to puke."

"Insolence! How dare you slander and threatened Master Ling! It's already an honor that he was interested in you!" The burly man yelled with rage.

Hearing the burly man's remarks, Kim Eunji scoffed.

"If you want to cause a scene, please not here! Master Ling, you may be an honored guest here but please control your people." GM reminded him.

"And miss if you indeed have a booking, can I see your proof? If you can prove yourself, in behalf of QPRC's management, I'll take full responsibility for the trouble that my colleagues caused." GM Lee sincerely said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes as long as you have the documents to prove your claims." He felt the urge to finish this drama quick. At one glance, he could already tell that she's not someone to mess with. He felt like giving his ignorant subordinates a beating for being so muddle-headed.

"Then..." Kim Eunji's voice trailed as she took her wallet out of her duffle bag. She opened it and took a card from it.

"..."

"GM Lee, would this be enough?" As she revealed the card to everyone...

"!!!"
