"Well, okay. But we did not come to check in, " Autumn said coolly. She had already known that the hotel was owned by Rachel at the moment, making it impossible for her to want to stay there for even a night.
"Well, what you are here for then?" Rachel asked, looking confused.
"Here is the thing." One has to be humble when trapped in an inferior situation. Autumn had no choice but to explain it to Rachel. "You might have known that there will be a launch event here by the Giant Promise Company. We are here for a preview of this venue today. We have to make the preparations for the stage backdrop and other relevant things. Could you please take us there?"
"I'm afraid not." Rachel turned Autumn down without even thinking, which got on Isla's nerves at once, "What did you mean by no? Are you being difficult with us right now?" Isla said stepping forward towards Rachel.
"Isla." Autumn caught hold of Isla's hand, giving a sign to calm her down. Afterwards, she said to Rachel, "Miss Bai, could you explain more on what you said just now?
The Giant Promise Company has paid the deposit to the hotel for the reservation. Are you trying to scrap the contract by preventing us to evaluate the site now?"
"Please calm down." With a slight smile on her face, Rachel continued, "The Giant Promise Company is a key client in this hotel. The last thing we would do is to displease them, isn't it?"
"Then why are you turning us down right now?"
"Miss Ye, I know there have been some misunderstandings between you and me before. But those things had passed, which I hope would not be distractions in the future between us. Don't you agree?" What Rachel had just said only confused Autumn even more. Autumn could do nothing but keep her cool.
"The truth is that." With a smile on her face, Rachel said slowly, "As you know, I have taken over the hotel not long ago. So the decorations in the rooms remain as they are originally, which were done by the previous stylist. After all, we don't want to cause any delay to the guests' accommodation. That was why I have taken over the hotel without making any big changes. However, for the assembly hall......"
With a quick pause, Rachel continued, "It was Edward who used to take care of
ouldn't help asking Autumn directly. "Rachel is deliberately being difficult to you. How could you act so polite to her?"
"What do you think? Do you think I have any other choice?" How could Autumn not feel the same way as Isla? But Autumn just could not come up with any other solution at that time. It was Rachel who had the upper hand this time. Autumn just knew, that Rachel would create trouble for her. "Of course I know that she did it on purpose. But there's nothing we can do, is there?"
With a sigh, Autumn said, "We can only hope that Rachel doesn't go too far with it. Otherwise, if the preparation cannot be started on time after half a month, it will definitely be delayed."
They had no other choice.
"Come on, don't be upset any longer." "Let's get ready with what we can do first. As for the stage backdrop...... let the stylist take his time to do the research on materials. And once we get the dimensions of the stage, we'll work really hard to finish it, even if we work overtime. Three days might be enough if we outsource it." Autumn tried to cheer Isla up.
"It seems to be the only way......" Isla nearly chimed in with Autumn. Both of them were upset by Rachel.
It was weekend the next day, Autumn got up late that morning. And Isla was getting ready to go to her hometown.
"Dad, Mom, are you ready now? Why didn't you have your things packed up earlier, knowing that we set off today?" Isla said disapprovingly to her parents, who were frantically packing.
