Episode # 11
Liv was already busy cleaning the lobby.
Her back ached with every movement, but she kept her discomfort hidden, continuing with her tasks without complaint.
She tried to push through the pain, knowing how much she needed this job.
Kai sat in his office, behind his desk, staring intently at a tablet in front of him.
The screen showed multiple camera feeds from around the hotel, but his focus was on one,Liv.
He watched her every move, her slow, careful movements as she worked, her back slightly hunched from the strain.
A knock on the door broke his concentration.
Lisa Joseph (The manager)
Sir, you called?
Lisa asked as she stepped in.
Kai quickly switched off the tablet, setting it aside as if nothing happened.
Kai Thompson (ML)
I want you to make sure she doesn't work overnight again.
Lisa hesitated but nodded.
Lisa Joseph (The manager)
Yes, sir. I'll tell her, though she's quite stubborn. I'll try my best.
Kai Thompson (ML)
Don't try.
Kai said, his tone even colder.
Lisa Joseph (The manager)
Yes sir.
Lisa replied quickly. She turned to leave, but before she closed the door, she glanced back at him.
Kai's eyes were already back on the tablet, though the screen was now off.
His mind was focused on Liv again, who refused to stop working even when it was clear that her body was struggling.
Lisa shut the door quietly behind her, leaving him to his thoughts.
Kai still sitting in his chair, his eyes still fixed on the tablet.
He was watching Liv, her every move playing out on the screen.
Then, his focus shifted as he noticed a guest approaching the lobby.
Liv greeted him with a bright smile, and they spoke for a while, the guest laughing at something she said.
Kai's grip tightened on the edge of his desk as he zoomed in on the video, his eyes narrowing.
The guest was someone he recognized, his childhood friend.
The guest turned to walk toward the office, and before long, the door opened, revealing him.
Kai was standing near the cabinet, pouring himself a glass of wine. He didn't turn around as the friend stepped in.
Kai Thompson (ML)
Do you not know the rules?
Kai asked coldly, his voice sharp.
Kai Thompson (ML)
You are not supposed to talk to the maids here. If you had an issue, you should've spoken to the receptionist. That's why I hired the receptionist.
Kendrick blinked in confusion, clearly shocked by Kai's tone.
Kendrick De Luca ( ML's friend)
What? I...I know her. She's Liv.
He said, trying to make sense of the situation.
Kai's back stiffened, and his face darkened. He turned slowly, the glass in his hand trembling slightly.
Kai Thompson (ML)
I don't care who she is.
He said,his voice low and menacing.
Kai Thompson (ML)
She's here to work, not to chat with guests and customers.
Kendrick stood there, stunned, unsure of how to respond. He could feel the tension in the room thickening with every word Kai spoke.
