Chapter 87 Leonard Is Humiliated
Jocelyn only wanted to persuade Calvin to change his mind.
"Enough."
However, regardless of whether she was willing or not, Calvin directly clasped her wrist and pulled her into the Diamond Room.
At the same time, the Murray family had also arrived at the entrance of the Empire Hotel.
Leonard had come with his wife, Natalia, and he told the hotel waiter that the room they had booked was the Diamond Room. He then asked the waiter if they could now enter the room.
The hotel waiter politely replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Murray. The Diamond Room has been reserved for a distinguished guest this evening. We will exchange it for the Emerald Room for you. Is that okay? If you're okay with it, I'll lead you there now."
After hearing this explanation, Leonard was a little angry. "Are you kidding me? I'm the one who booked the Diamond Room, but now we're here, and you are going to exchange it for the Emerald Room for us. What do you mean?"
Leonard was angry because the invitations they had sent out had clearly stated that the party would be held in the Diamond Room, but now it had suddenly been changed to the Emerald Room. He couldn't help but think, "What will the guests think if they come and see this?
Everyone in Glebey knows that the Diamond Room of the Empire Hotel, with its luxurious amenities such as a theater, is a symbol of status. Now, they are going to replace it with the Emerald Room. Isn't it like a slap in my face?"
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Murray. We have just been told that the Diamond Room has been booked by a distinguished guest."
"What distinguished guest? How dare that guy jump in line and take our room?"
Natalia also felt embarrassed and wanted to figure out who the person was.
After all, the Empire Hotel had a rule that the Diamond Room must be booked at least three months in advance. Therefore, they wanted to know what kind of distinguished guest could make the Empire Hotel awe him so much, even break the rules for him.
The waiter explained, "It's a friend of our boss."
Leonard was slapped in the face and felt humiliated, so he said angrily, "A friend of your boss? How dare you break the rules just because the person is a friend of your boss? We booked it three months in advance! How about this? Go and talk it over with that person. Ask him to give us the Diamond Room, and we'll give him the Emerald Room!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Murray. We can't do that!"
"Tell me, who the hell is that guy? How dare he humiliate me like this?"
Leonard believed that the Murray family was very prestigious and influential in Glebey, holding a significant position in the business world. Therefore, he couldn't believe that anyone would dare to take the Diamond Room from him, knowing that he had booked it.
"I'm really sorry, but this is the guest's privacy, and we cannot disclose it. Mr. Murray, if you do not agree to take the Emerald Room, you may cancel your reservation! We will compensate you with ten times the deposit. If you are willing to take the Emerald Room, we can offer you a discount of 88%."
Leonard did not care about any discount, he just felt he had lost face.
Natalia, however, was a person who loved to take advantage. Hearing that the hotel could offer them a discount of 88%, she immediately persuaded her husband, "Leonard, let's take the Emerald Room! It's about time, and we can't find a suitable place for the party elsewhere now. Why don't we just take it?"
If it weren't for Natalia's persuasion, Leonard wouldn't agree at all.
"Alright, let's take the Emerald Room!" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Mr. & Mrs. Murray, this way, please."
The waiter led them to the Emerald Room.
Upon arriving at the Emerald Room, they immediately found that it could not compare with the Diamond Room at all. The Emerald Room was slightly larger than the regular room, but it was completely inferior to the Diamond Room in terms of ostentation.
However, they couldn't change anything now, and Leonard had no other choice.
Before long, Glenna arrived at the Empire Hotel with several of her friends.
One of the ladies, named Madelyn Madigan, boasted, "Glenna, you are really as beautiful as a princess tonight. This dress is so pretty. It must be very expensive!"
Glenna was very complacent and said with a bright smile, "It's not very expensive. It cost only about $100,000. I bought it with my allowance."
Madelyn exclaimed in shock, "Oh my god. That's my allowance for several months!"
Another girl named Sheron Hazel, the daughter of the director of Pailworth Hospital, also flattered Glenna, "I'm really jealous of you, Glenna. You have such a good family, and your parents love you so much. The most important thing is that you have a super-handsome boyfriend. You've got everything that we want."
Glenna had been bragging to her friends that Todd was her boyfriend. These girls believed in her and envied her.
"You're right. With such conditions, Glenna will soon become a top actress in the entertainment industry."
"Stop it. I have not thought of that yet. I became an actress only for fun."
In fact, Glenna had always dreamed of being a top actress.
Back then, she didn't want to lose to Jocelyn, so she also chose acting as her major and entered the entertainment industry. So far, she had taken part in two films, but she got her roles because her father had paid for them. However, she was not good at acting.
"But even if Glenna quit her acting job, she doesn't need to worry about her future. She can go home and take over the Murray family's business. At the very least, she can count on Todd. Anyway, she will definitely marry Todd and lead a worry-free life in the future."
Listening to her friends' flattery, Glenna felt extremely smug.
Sheron thought of something and asked, "By the way, Glenna, is Jocelyn Murray, who is lately under heated discussion online, your sister?"
"Of course not. We were not born by the same mother." Glenna had never associated herself with Jocelyn in front of her friends.
Madelyn complained, "Don't mention that woman. It's disappointing! How can she compare with Glenna? She must be a nondescript woman!"
Madelyn had seen Jocelyn before and had been taunted by her, so she didn't like Jocelyn.
They talked and laughed all the way, following Glenna to the door of the Diamond Room. However, the bodyguards outside the door and the foreman responsible for serving the guests in the Diamond Room stopped them.
"I'm sorry, ladies. The Diamond Room has been booked for tonight. No one is allowed to disturb the guests inside. Please go elsewhere."
Being stopped by them, Madelyn said arrogantly, "Hey! Are you blind? Look at her! This is Ms. Glenna Murray, the daughter of the Murray family. She's celebrating her birthday tonight in the Diamond Room. She is the star of tonight. How dare you stop her?"
Sheron chimed in, "She's right! What's the matter with you? How dare you stop the guest of the Diamond Room? Do you really want to be fired? If you don't get out of the way, we'll file a complaint against you!"
The foreman was not angry but said politely, "I'm sorry, ladies. Our guest in the Diamond Room tonight is not named Glenna Murray. As far as I know, the room Mr. Murray has booked is the Emerald Room. You can go there and have a look."
"How is that possible?"
Glenna didn't believe it.
