Chapter 136
When we got to the hotel, the receptionist wouldn’t give us even a hint about which room Clyde was in.
Eliana tossed her hair back and banged on the counter.
“Where’s Sam? Get Sam out here!”
The receptionist looked terrified and quickly went to find someone.
Soon enough, a person who looked like a manager came jogging out.
“Ms. Chandler, my dear, why didn’t you tell me you were coming…”
“Cut the crap. I’m here to catch a cheater. Where’s he?”
Eliana nodded in my direction, and I quickly pulled up a photo of Clyde’s ID on my phone.
The manager glanced at the photo, then back at Eliana with a troubled expression.
“Ms. Chandler, we have to respect the privacy of our guests…”
“It’s him. They’ve been playing dangerous games. If something happens to him under your watch, you can kiss your job goodbye!”
Eliana’s tone was chilling; I was scared, and I could only imagine how the manager felt.
He quickly gestured to the receptionist.
Without even checking the system, the young lady blurted out, “Top floor, 1901, the lady requested a full suite…”
Eliana pulled me toward the elevator, then turned to the manager.
“Sam, pretend I was never here, got it?”
As the elevator doors closed, I could see the manager bowing repeatedly to her.
“You…”
Seeing Eliana’s excited expression, I swallowed all the questions I had.
When we reached the door of 1901, Eliana rolled up her sleeves and knocked forcefully.
“Who is it?” Lisa’s annoyed voice came through.
Eliana quickly put on a sweet smile and said, “Ma’am, the bottle of wine Mr. Patterson ordered is here, please open the door. And the hotel has sent over a complimentary luxury kit for you two.”
Her voice was so sweet it scared me.
Lisa slowly came to open the door, and Eliana kicked it open.

We were just in time, Lisa had just taken a bath and Clyde’s clothes were still neatly
He cewined to notice me, then immediately reached out
Honeyt
walked over, frustrated beyond belief, only to be grabbed by Lisa
Melanie, you’re getting a divorce, and you’re runing my moment? Clyde and I are consenting adults. What are you doing here?”
“Crashing the party Eliana already had her phone out, aiming it at Lisa’s face
“No, I’d better call it drugging. Clyde’s not in his right mind, you bring him back to your room, what are you planning? Oh my, the Crawford family’s heiress drugging Mr.
Patterson, trying to climb the social ladder through seduction!”
Eliana’s fone was so exaggerated, it left both me and Lisa dumbfounded,
I gave her a thumbs up, then quickly helped Clyde up.
“Can you walk?”
Getting him to stand was a struggle, let alone walk.
Clyde nodded groggily, leaning on me as we left the room.
in the elevator, Eliana was fuming.
“My phone’s dead! Should’ve bought a power bank; of all the times to let me down.”
I breathed a sigh of relief, thankful her phone was dead. If that video got out, it would be mortifying.
Elians dropped us off at the apartment complex and gave the security guard a crisp $50 bill to help me get Clyde inside.
The moment he collapsed on the couch, I finally felt relief wash over me.
After politely seeing the security guard out, I was about to close the door when Clyde hugged me from behind.
“Babe, I almost got taken advantage of. Babe, I feel so awful, she drugged me.”
His voice was pitiful, but his body was clearly not feeling sorry.
Feeling him press against me, I pushed him away.
“Clyde, sober up!
