âMr. Abel and his family are dining here,â Luca whispered, âEnsure that the security measures are in place both inside and outside the hotel. There must be no mishaps.â
âYes, Mr. Luca!â the head of security replied hurriedly. âSo, itâs Mr. Abel whoâs here.
âIndeed,â Luca nodded. âDonât alert the other departments. Mr. Abel dislikes too much attention.â
âUnderstood, Mr. Luca,â the security head said. âWe will make sure to provide excellent security. Mr.
Abel can dine here with peace of mind.â
âIâll apply for a bonus for your team,â Luca promised.
âThat would be great!â the security head beamed with joy.
âNow, let me check the surveillance,â Luca said. âThereâs a suspicious car we need to keep an eye on.
And be alert of the people inside the vehicle.â
âUnderstood, Mr. Luca,â the head of security replied, sounding nervous.
It seemed like that bonus wasnât going to be handed out for free; there was work to be done.
The head of security personally escorted Luca to the monitoring room.
Luca scanned the screens until he found the luxury car with the Altney license plate in the parking lot.
He saw a young, slender woman step out of the car.
A male companion, who looked like a bodyguard, followed her out.
Continuing to monitor the surveillance footage, Evelyn and her entourage entered the hotel. They first went to the lobby service desk before heading further in.
Luca was surprised to see on the monitor that the woman was headed toward the security department.
She was about to enter the office of the security head.
âYou go and find out,â Luca frowned. âWhat does this woman want?â
Yes, Mr. Luca,â the head of security replied, rushing off to investigate.
Luca kept watching the surveillance footage and saw Evelyn knocking on the security headâs door.
The security head asked, âMiss, what brings you here?â
âOh,â Evelyn turned around and said, âI have a little favor to ask of you.â
âPlease go ahead,â the security head replied.
âCould we discuss it in your office?â Evelyn asked.
The security head hesitated for a moment before opening the office door and saying, âSure, come on in.â
Lucaâs view on the monitor suddenly went blank.
The security headâs office had no surveillance cameras, but after two minutes, Luca received a text message on his phone.
âMr. Luca, they said someone claiming to be an acquaintance and wants to see the surveillance footage.â
Luca didnât understand what Evelyn meant, but he figured that she wanted to see their boss, Mr. Abel, in the footage.
Uncertain about what to do, Luca forwarded the message to Abel.
Abel quickly replied, âLet her see.â
Luca gave a reply to the security head: âAgree to her request.â
âBut she wants to bribe me,â the security head replied.
âThen just accept it for now,â Luca said. âYouâre not derelict in your duties, youâre just doing your job.â
âOkay,â the security head replied. âIâll turn it in later.â
With the security head agreeing to Evelynâs request, the office door opened and Luca walked out of the control room, turning to the other side.
Evelyn followed him into the control room.
In the private room.
Abel lifted his head nonchalantly and glanced at the four cameras in the corners.
A cold smile crept up on his lips.
Evelynâs intention was obvious. She wanted to see how he and his wife interacted with each other.
Was she really that persistent in her pursuit of him?
The dishes were served, and Abel put on disposable gloves and began to peel the lobster for his wife and children.
He peeled them and put them on the childrenâs small plates.
It was Emmelineâs turn, and Abel dipped a lobster claw into the ginger sauce before feeding it to her tiny mouth.
âWow, Daddy didnât invite us for seafood, he just wanted to show off his love for Mommy!â Timothy laughed first.
âYeah, Daddyâs biased, he only feeds Mommy,â Helios chimed in.
âBecause Mommy is my wife,â Abel chuckled. âOf course, I have to take good care of her.â
As he spoke, he leaned in and gave Emmeline a peck on the cheek.
âWow, this display of affection is even more abundant than the seafood,â Endymion said.
âDaddy loves Mommy too much,â Hesperus chimed in. âIâm so jealous!â
âMommy is the only woman I love, so, of course, I have to shower her with love,â Abel replied.
âAbel,â Emmeline blushed, whispering, âdonât show so much PDA in front of the children, itâs embarrassing.â
âMwah,â Abel planted another kiss on her cheek. âThen letâs go home and show each other some serious affection in our bedroom.â
