Clair Hotel Sold?
Clair family's famous hotel which was once the home away from home for celebrities all over the world.
Movie stars, writers, musicians, and billionaires made special trips just to stay at the Clair Hotel.
The original structure fell to pieces in the Great Chicago Fire of 1897, but it was rebuilt bigger and better than ever.
And someday, when the present President finally retire, it'll all of 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 .
Latte and snickerdoodle in hand, a woman took a deep breath in the lobby.
She walked past one of the employees and give a little wave.
Arnold Wood
Having a good day so far, Little Merlin?
Merlin smiles politely at him.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
: let out of soft sigh :
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Really, Arnold? 😊
Arnold is like family here at the Clair. He's been here almost as long as her parents have.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
The day have just started! Time will only tell.
Merlin was trying to get going, but Arnold interrupted her.
Arnold Wood
But, before you go, Little Merlin....
Arnold Wood
You should know one of the Kendrick staffers, was poking around here a bit ago.
Arnold Wood
You should be careful.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Haha~ It should be them who should be careful! 😏💅
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Anyway, Bye, Arnold!
Arnold Wood
: waves his hands :
One of the best beauties of Chicago.
She had not only won the "Miss Chicago" pageant, but also won the"Miss USA" pageant.
Everyone wants her to be their lover or wife.
But she only wants to be the President of her dream Hotel, which her parents are managing.
Her one and only dream to be the Owner of her dream "Clair Hotel".
Merlin set out to do her daily morning walk-through on the hotel hallways, while devouring the rest of her cookies on the way.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Yummy~ 😋
She was meandering down the hallways, while humming.
Suddenly, she heard an electric drill whirring away, the echo reverberating throughout the lobby.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Huh? Is that....a drill?
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
[ Who could it be—]
She walked over to the direction of the sounds coming.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Huh? What?
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Hey! What are you doing?
She said to the construction worker, as he stands up straight, looking annoyed at her.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Who told you to do that? What are you doing with tha–?
Worker
And who are you to ask this ??
: rudely :
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
What the—?
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
I'm Merlin Clair, the future owner of this place, understand?
Worker
Mer-Merlin Cl-Clair?
Worker
Are you that "Miss USA" pageant? 😍
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Good God! Just answer my question first!!
Worker
She-She told me to change this doorknobs into fingerprints readers.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Who is "She"–?
Unknown
I told him to do that.
She looked behind her, and saw a woman standing.
She looked at the worker.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
You go, I'll call you later.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Merlin...
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
What is this? Why are you doing so?
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Merlin–
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
No-No-Wait!
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
I know that the doorknobs are old, but the tarnish on them isn't actually a problem, right?
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Then, why are you changing them?
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Merlin, it's not what you're thinking, baby.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Then, what is it?
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
The hotel....is being sold.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Wha-What?
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Haha-Hahaha! 😂
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
That was a funny joke, Mom! 😆
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Merlin, This isn't a joke.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
What? Are you serious?
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
I'm serious! This hotel is now sold!!
The moment Jolie shouted out those words, the ground beneath Merlin moved out.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Mo-Mom...This is not a good joke now...
She was dizzy as she couldn't digest her mother's words.
She fell down on the floor, without any more words.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Merlin! Merlin!
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Wake up, girl! Wake up!
Everything was blurred in her eyes.
But, Merlin could only hear...
“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘥!”
Won't Step Down
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Doctor...
Family Physician
Don't worry she'll be fine.
Family Physician
She is just stressed out.
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
Of course, She'll be stressed out...
: biting his lips :
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Honey, Now you shouldn't take anymore stress!
Family Physician
Sir, you already had heart strain last week. You shouldn't take more stress now!
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
If only I wasn't like this, this hotel wouldn't have been.....
Jolie hugged him tightly to calm him down.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Calm down, Mark.
Suddenly, Merlin groaned.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Merlin!
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
Baby!
Slowly, slowly, Merlin opened her eyes and looked around the room.
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
Rest, baby. Now, Rest.
She was looking at her father, but....
Suddenly, she sat up and started panicking.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
The-The ho-hotel....
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Afterwards! Those things....We'll think about afterwards.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
How-How could say that?
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
My dream....My hotel....
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
I sacrificed everything for this hotel!
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
My blood, my tears, my sweats!!
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
How could you....??
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
That also without talking about it to me?
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Am I not the future heir of this hotel?
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
Merlin, I-I'm sorry, baby...
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
: grits her teeth :
She never shouts in front of her father.
Because she knows, Mark, her father is weak.
When Merlin was only 5 years old, Mark was shot in his heart. But fortunately, the bullet was an inch away from his heart. From that time, he was weak.
But, he never showed his weakness to his daughter.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Papa, I don't want to shout in front of you.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
You two still have time. Tell me right now.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Merlin, as you know this.... the hotel needs too much maintenance than any other hotel in Chicago.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
But, the money here for the maintenance, is already being spent too much because of Mark's health.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
We didn't want to do this....
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
So, Somebody offered a higher amount than the actual amount of this hotel, right?
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
Yes...The amount was too big to refuse....
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
Merlin....
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Is there no way to get our hotel back? 😢
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
Maybe, talking to "him" will have a solution.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Who? Who is that person?
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
This....
: forwards a magazine book :
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Reese...Kendrick?
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
Isn't he the CEO of Kendrick Enterprise?
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
He is being recently recognised as the new CEO of their company.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
And he is the one who....bought our hotel.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
[ Reese Kendrick!!! 💢 ]
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
[ I won't let take my dream away from me!! 💢 ]
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
Let me tell you something, dear.
Mark Clair (FL's Father)
I don't want you to be near that guy. That guy....is a Playboy.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
It doesn't matter to me. My only favourite hotel matters to me.
Jolie Clair (FL's Mother)
But...
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
No buts, Mom.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
I'm going to meet that guy.
Merlin Clair (𝗙𝗟)
