Chapter 167
Patrick’s face was so gloomy. “I must have been kicked in the head to want to test Violet’s reaction.
“| even made her mention Gabriel! That man was a thorn in my side!” thought he
He kept a straight face. When he spoke, his voice was cold. It was as though he was speaking to someone who owed him money. “I understand!”
Violet nodded and reminded him, “If there’s nothing else, Mr. Hersey, I'll go back to the private room first!”
Patrick ignored her.
Violet pursed her lips and turned to leave.
The moment Violet entered the private room, Patrick kicked the wall angrily.
Agray footprint immediately appeared on the white printed wall.
At this moment, a staff passed by. When she saw Patrick kicking the wall, she could not help but remind him, “Sir, you’re vandalizing the hotel.
facilities!”
Patrick’s expression was extremely dark. “Even a mere staff was against met now!” he thought.
His face darkened. “So what if | ruined it?”
The staff frowned, saying inwardly, “The person was good-looking and. neatly attired, yet he still asked such an idiotic question!” She sounded displeased. “If it's damaged, you have to pay compensation. No matter who it is, they are treated equally in Sunny May Hotel!”
Patrick was so angry that he barked out a laugh. “Treat everyone equally, is that right? Call your manager over. | want to see how he treats everyone. equally!”
The staff was a straightforward person, “Stay here and don’t leave, sir!”
Patrick was so livid that he could spit fire. He said, “Sure! I’m not leaving. I'll wait for you to call the others!”
The staff did not think too much of it. She used the pager to inform the manager of the situation.
After a while, the lobby manager followed the hotel manager as both of them hurried over.
Patrick’s head was down, and he was on his phone. He was still instructing Nelson about work.
The hotel manager frowned when he saw the staff. “What happened?”
The waiter pointed at the footprint on the wall. “This guest has dirtied the wall. | told him not to do it, but he refused to be reasonable!”
Only then did the hotel manager look at Patrick. Patrick’s head was lowered, so the manager did not see Patrick’s face clearly. However, the manager made himself seem intimidating. “Sir, are you responsible for the footprints on the wall?”
Patrick’s anger had almost dissipated by now. He knew that he was furious. with Violet just now and had behaved a little childishly.
Even so, the matter at hand had to be resolved.
He looked up and glanced lazily at the hotel manager. “I did it. What’s wrong?”
When the hotel manager saw Patrick, he found him inexplicably familiar. His mind raced as he suddenly thought of someone who looked like theThis text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
man in front of him.
He called out tentatively, “Mr. Patrick!”
Patrick snorted coldly. “To think you still remember me!”
The hotel manager hurriedly broke into an apologetic smile. “Mr. Patrick, it's this staff's fault for not recognizing you. When you came here for a
Ill
vacation with the chairman, | saw you once. | can’t believe you actually honored us with your presence!”
Patrick could not be bothered to continue talking nonsense with him. “The staff's behavior is essentially right. I’m not in a good mood today. Clean up the wall. That's all!”
With that, Patrick turned around and left.
The staff was dumbfounded. “But this...”
The hotel manager turned around and looked at her angrily. “This is Mr. Patrick, the son of the family who owned our corporation. Be more careful in the future!”
When the staff thought of what she had said, her face flushed red.
It was indeed impossible to treat everyone equally! Especially when he was only damaging his own hotel.
Patrick returned to the private room and did not even look at Violet.
However, the meal did not continue for long. Everyone left after eating and drinking their fill.
As there was a competition the next day, no one drank much at the party.. Everyone made a toast and left after eating.
The judges all lived in the Sunny May Hotel.
All the designers returned to their hotels.
The next morning, Violet woke up early to eat.
As soon as she arrived at the restaurant, she saw Skyler and Ellie. The three of them chose a seat by the window.
Breakfast was in the form of a buffet. Violet went to get breakfast.
Since there was a competition in the morning, Violet did not plan to eat too much.
She casually picked up a plate and brought over some snacks. Then, she
saw Skyler and Ellie coming over.
Ellie carried a tray with three small bowls of soup.
Skyler smiled and handed a bowl to Violet. “This is chicken soup. Ellie got three bowls. Do you want to drink it?”
Violet knew that this was Ellie’s show of goodwill. After Patrick
reprimanded Ellie last night, whenever Ellie saw Violet, she would become dejected.
Violet had never been the kind of person to be unreasonable. She nodded. “Of course!”
Violet ate the snacks on the plate and drank a few mouthfuls of soup. She felt that the chicken soup this morning was a little too salty and tasted a little strange.
She didn’t know what was going on. After all, the soup was made by the
hotel.
Violet didn’t think too much about it. She simply felt that the salty taste of soup covered the smell of chicken.
She did not continue after drinking half of it. Instead, she drank some mineral water to quench her thirst.
After breakfast, Violet and Ellie went to the competition venue.
The competition venue was in the hall on the top floor of the Arts and Technology Museum in the city center. Each seat was very far away from the other. There was also a partition on each table to ensure that no one could see the other party's design. The competition started at nine in the morning and ended at five in the afternoon. Lunch was brought in by the judges.
The competition began. It was held similarly to that of art students’ examination, but it took much longer than that.
The topic of this competition was the same as the name of the competition. With Azure Ocean Heart as the topic, they had to design a
piece of
Whewelry.
Violet received the question, she began to think and search for inspiration.
The five judges sat in the front row. From time to time, they would look at the design process of the designers.
The competition began. Patrick sat at the judge’s seat by the window. He looked out of the window, pondering about something. He was initially very busy with work and would not accept coming to such a judging event. After all, it was a waste of time. However, after Violet participated in this competition, he hesitated. In the end, he still ended up sitting in the judge’s seat.
His gaze fell on Violet. Ever since he registered his marriage with this woman, many things had unknowingly changed!
Time ticked by.
About 40 minutes into the competition, Violet had her inspiration and an idea of what to draw for the draft of the competition design.
However, just as she started drawing a few strokes, she suddenly felt her
heart palpitate and her entire body became uncomfortable.
