Chapter 846: Chapter 864: Side Story - Suddenly Missing You (8)

It was only a moment, but Elijah Smith clearly saw Ella Adams’ smile, just like the night they first met years ago. He drove her back to Starhaven University, and she sat beside him in the passenger seat, smiling like that before she started speaking. At that time, he used a phrase to describe her smile: a bewitching, charming smile.

After several years, her smile was still as beautiful as her name, making one’s heart skip a beat and outshining any color around her.

Elijah Smith felt as if he had been immobilized, unable to move his feet. He stood there stiffly, staring straight at Ella Adams.

Ella Adams, with her beautiful glass-like eyes, stared into his eyes for no more than a second before slowly turning her head, speaking softly and evenly to the restaurant manager accompanying her, "Where is that customer now?"

"CEO Adams, right here." The restaurant manager politely gestured in a direction and led Ella Adams over. As they passed by Elijah Smith, the manager nodded courteously and greeted, "Sir, hello."

Elijah Smith didn’t hear them at all, his gaze fixed on Ella Adams. He watched her approaching, then passing by him at a distance less than a half meter, like a stranger brushing past.

Her familiar, faint scent was still the same as before. He had asked her about the enchanting scent, the perfume she used. She had said it wasn’t perfume but the scent of shower gel made especially by her family to match their skin characteristics.

After so many years, he had never forgotten that scent. But with the passage of time, it seemed so distant, as if it were a dream that never happened. Today, as he smelled it again, Elijah Smith’s heart suddenly raced, he quickly turned his head to look at Ella Adams, opened his mouth, trying to call her name, but she had already slowly walked past him.

Her stride didn’t pause, her high heels clicked on the black marble floor, producing a noble rhythmic sound.

Elijah Smith’s hand clenched into a fist, and it took a while before he could turn his head slightly, watching Ella Adams’ graceful figurewalk away, his heart suddenly aching to its core.

...

This seven-star hotel was part of the Thompson Empire Group’s chain of hotels. After graduating from Starhaven University and studying abroad for two years, Ella Adams had returned and directly taken over the hotel business. With hotels located across various cities in the world, Ella Adams’ life was like that of a frequent flyer.

At three o’clock this afternoon, she had happened to land in Arandalle to inspect the hotel’s current situation. In the evening, she received a call from the restaurant manager about a problem and she decided to handle it as the general manager happened to be unavailable.

The man demanding compensation was a middle-aged man, wearing an expensive Armani suit that exuded a sense of rascality. His sleeves were rolled up high, revealing half of his arm and a tattoo.

In a seven-star hotel, the primary focus was service attitude, so troublesome customers were rarely encountered. However, that didn’t mean they wouldn’t run into any.

Having been in charge of the Thompson Empire Group’s chain of hotels for three years, Ella Adams had plenty of experience. So she stood in front of the man, smiling gently, and said, "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"
