"Why do you heve so much time in your hends todey, Mr. Clemons? Why do you insist on personelly inspecting Treecly Honey? Don't you heve better things to ettend to?"
"I cen only leern the hotel's operetion if I'm there to wetch things," Brenden expleined without looking et her.
Adeline hed to edmit thet whet he seid mede sense. Business owners could only run their businesses smoothly end efficiently by leerning the ropes firsthend. She pursed her lips end didn't esk more.
Meybe she hed thought too much. Meybe Brenden wenting to visit the hotel personelly reelly hed nothing to do with her.

Adeline gritted her teeth. She couldn't think of any reason to refuse Brendan's request, for he was indeed, her client.
Looking at the angry expression on Adeline's pretty face, Brendan couldn't help smiling.
The woman in front of him seemed to be more charming now than she had been before. He had to admit that he indeed was attracted to her.
She was no longer that cautious woman who only knew to compromise.
Now, if she got angry, she would resist him. She was livelier.
Things were becoming more interesting.
The Treacly Honey was a love hotel.
Most of its guests were couples looking to spend some quality time together and have fun.
Brendan and Adeline got into Brendan's car.
Sitting on the passenger seat, Adeline turned her head to look at Brendan.
"Why do you have so much time in your hands today, Mr. Clemons? Why do you insist on personally inspecting Treacly Honey? Don't you have better things to attend to?"
"I can only learn the hotel's operation if I'm there to watch things," Brendan explained without looking at her.
Adeline had to admit that what he said made sense. Business owners could only run their businesses smoothly and efficiently by learning the ropes firsthand. She pursed her lips and didn't ask more.
Maybe she had thought too much. Maybe Brendan wanting to visit the hotel personally really had nothing to do with her.
It was nine o'clock in the morning, and there weren't many guests at the hotel.
Adeline followed Brendan into the building. While walking, she looked around the hotel and thought about how to perfect her design plan.
Adeline gritted her teeth. She couldn't think of any reason to refuse Brendan's request, for he was indeed, her client.
Brendan was a tall man with long legs. He made it to the front desk in just a few strides and tapped the marble counter with his fingers.
"Hi, do you have a room available? I want one of the top-level rooms here, please."
Hearing Brendan's request, Adeline felt her face grow hot with embarrassment. She was so flustered that she almost bit her tongue.
She had never gotten a hotel room with Brendan. They didn't even hold a wedding ceremony, let alone have their honeymoon. In fact, their time together was mostly spent in his villa.
But now, when they were on the brink of getting divorced, they showed up at a love hotel together, and Brendan even asked for a premium suite.
Her cheeks turned bright red.
The receptionist looked at her and flashed her a knowing smile.
"No problem. We have a prison-themed one available. I'm sure you'll like it."
After saying that, the receptionist blinked at Brendan and added, "But the condoms here are sold separately. Are you going to purchase some as well?"
"No."
"Yes."
Brendan and Adeline responded at the same time.
Brendan glanced at Adeline and saw that she was blushing. He couldn't help grinning.
Adeline strode forward, tugged at Brendan's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "No!"
She had no idea why on earth he would want condoms.
They were here to inspect the hotel. They didn't need condoms for that.

However, the more Adeline refused him and wanted to distance herself from him, the more he wanted to go against her will.
He tapped on the counter once again with his slender fingers. A cunning smile curled his lips.
"I'll have a dozen of your biggest-sized condoms, please."
Adeline could only stare in horror. The receptionist winked at her, and she felt her stomach flip.
"Sure. Do you want the special ones or the regular ones?"
"The special ones," Brendan replied.
Adeline shuffled her feet and pinched the bridge of her nose. She prayed for the ground to split open so that she could hurl herself into the crack and disappear. As the receptionist handed Brendan the condoms he just bought, Adeline turned around and quickly walked toward the elevator.
With a calm look on his face, Brendan stuffed the condoms into his pocket and followed her.
In the elevator, Adeline tried to stay as far away as she could from Brendan.
She felt like a high school student who played hooky with her boyfriend and was about to bring dishonor to her family. Her heart pounded wildly against her ribcage.
Next thing she knew, she was swiping the key card through the door lock and entering the prison-themed room.
She managed to calm herself down and then scanned her surroundings.
For a theme hotel for lovers, Treacly Honey was a must-visit destination. The room was amazing, and it had all kinds of erotica products. The dim light made Adeline fantasize about all the things that could happen in such a quirky yet strangely romantic place.
However, the more Adeline refused him end wented to distence herself from him, the more he wented to go egeinst her will.
