Chapter 1443

“Hey! Queenie Silverstein! Wake up.” Nigel started calling out to Queenie.

However, she was sound asleep and didn’t stir at all. Nigel had no choice but to resort to physical means. He started patting her

soft, tender cheek with the back of his hand. “Hurry up and wake up, Queenie.”

Queenie was startled awake at last. She shot up straight on the couch and looked at the man in front of her in fright before

realizing who it was.

The anxiety in her eyes gave way to a look of child-like surprise. “It's you! Are you here to pick.up?”

The look in her eyes and the words that cout of her mouth made her seem like an abandoned puppy that had grown to rely on

Nigel. He felt a pang in his heart. Is she really that ecstatic that I'm here to pick her up?

He stood

and said coolly, “We have rules in this hotel. Employees are not allowed to spend the night in the staff lounge.”

Queenie was still smiling. His words didn’t affect her sense of joy in any way. She felt as if someone had extended a warm hand out

to her at her bleakest point in life.

She was a little too embarrassed to look him in the eyes. She massaged her calves and said, “My legs have gone numb from the

He turned his head forward and waited patiently for her legs to recover their strength. After a while, Queenie hurried back on her

feet again as she was afraid that his patience might wane. “I'm fine now. Let's go!”

Nigel led the way while Queenie forced herself to walk despite the numbness in her legs. She followed him down to the lobby, and

as they strode across the grand hall, walking shoulder-to- shoulder, the other hotel employees weren't stunned anymore.

While they were still envious, they weren't as jealous about it anymore because even those on the night shift now knew that the

newbie female employee was just Nigel's distant relative.
