The two followed Levi all the way to the presidential suite.
Iris was surprised when she saw him standing in front of the presidential suite. “This is Neil Atkinson’s room! Is he looking for Mr. Atkinson?”
Zoey too was curious. “Do they know each other?”
Iris shook her head. “No, they don’t. Mr. Atkinson has come to the company several times, but I have never seen them talking to each other.”
“Then why is he looking for Mr. Atkinson?” Asked Zoey.
“I’ll tell you why… But could you promise that you won’t be angry with me?”
“Sure. Go Ahead.”
Iris planned her speech before saying, “I think Levi is here to ingratiate himself with Mr. Atkinson.”
“Is that so?” Zoey was slightly dejected. “I know Levi pretty well… He is not a fawner!”
Iris shook her head at Zoey’s naivety. “Zoey, Levi is not the guy you used to know anymore. He has been using his identity as the Jones’ grandchild to achieve his successes, so it is no surprise that he would fawn over Neil.”
At this moment, the room door was opened. Kirin noticed that Iris and Zoey were hiding in the dark, spying on them, so he covertly gestured to Levi to leave before slamming the door shut.
The ladies saw Levi shook his head helplessly as he left; they thought Neil had given Levi the cold shoulder.
“Look, he is slighted by Neil!” Iris flashed a smug smile, thinking she had successfully gauged Levi’s mind and his conduct.
Zoey sighed in resignation as the truth was plain as day, so she could do nothing but to accept it.
Levi was once a man with unyielding character; he had always abhorred snobs who were easily swayed.
He would never try to pull strings, bootlick, or use underhand tactics to achieve his goals. However, it seemed like Levi had changed. He was no longer his old self.
…
Levi has yield to reality.
Zoey sighed at the thought of it. It seems like time and life experiences could really cut a person down to size and dampen his pride.
In the past, Levi used to be a man full of pride and confidence. But now, his arrogance is long gone with the wind. He is no different from any other ordinary man being weighed down by the burden and hardship of life.
But fortunately, we love each other to the moon and back.
They met Levi on the ground floor. “Where have you been just now?” Asked Iris.
Levi gave her a put-off, “Just walking around… Why are you asking?”
It ascertained their suspicions that Levi was sucking up to Neil when he evaded her question.
“Nothing.” Iris decided not to pursue the matter further.
Just then, one of the employees of Morris Group came running and yelling as soon as he saw Iris, “Ms. Anabelle, something terrible has happened! We’re in big trouble!”
