A BILLIONAIRE PRETENDS TO BE A CLEANER IN HIS OWN HOTEL TO TEST HIS STAFFS
Episode 1
Riverdale Hotel is well known as one of the most elegant hotels in all of New York. That’s also where a young woman named Lisa works. An elderly man applied as a janitor in the hotel, and this old man looked truly pitiful because of his grimy appearance. When the old man was hired, some of the staff, including the managers, treated him harshly.
The only person who showed compassion toward that old man was none other than Lisa. A month went by, and the old man disappeared. He left on his own without even taking his wages. But what they didn’t know was that the old man they mistreated was actually the owner of the very hotel they were working at. He was only pretending in order to find out which of his staff were doing bad things at the hotel.
So now, what will happen to those arrogant staff members and managers? Will the old man fire them? And what about the young woman, given that she was the only one who was kind to him?
Let’s all find out in this exciting story.
Lisa was extremely nervous because she only had a few minutes left before she’d be late for work. Traffic was so heavy on the interstate today that the bumpers of all the cars were practically pressed together. Lisa lived in Brooklyn, but her job was in Queens. Even though she wanted to arrive early, there was nothing she could do. No matter which road she took, traffic was still heavy.
She also couldn’t rely on the subway or the train because the lines there were as long as an army of ants. If she tried her luck there, her co-workers would probably be heading home by the time she arrived.
“Sir, isn’t there another route we could take? One that’s hopefully not so congested?” Lisa asked the cab driver, who kept stealing glances at her thighs.
“If there was, we’d already be driving there. Relax, Miss, there’s nothing we can do. It’s really tra—TR,” the driver replied.
Lisa just placed her bag over her thighs. She was already irritated because the driver seemed like a pervert whenever he looked at her. If there were another cab she could hail, she would have gotten out, but cabs were tough to find, and if she did get one, the fare would be sky high.
She decided to endure this driver and distracted herself by watching random videos on her phone. After almost half an hour, she noticed that they had barely moved. So, even though her destination was still quite far, she got out of the taxi. She no longer cared if she wasted her fare. Her job was more important to her, and she was now very, very late.
Lisa ran down the sidewalk, carrying her high heels in her hands and enduring the heat of the pavement. She was dripping with sweat, but she didn’t stop running. Eventually, she passed just a stretch where traffic wasn’t so heavy, but there were no available cabs.
“Gah, Lisa, this is so frustrating. Traffic’s eased up, but there are no cabs. Great,” she grumbled like a child throwing a tantrum on the sidewalk.
Just then, a black car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing their head manager, Alvin. His strikingly handsome face almost blinded her. Lisa couldn’t deny that he really did look like a celebrity. In fact, she was one of the women who had a crush on Alvin. But unlike the more flirtatious women, she kept her admiration to herself. She knew it was unlikely he’d like her back.
“Get in,” he said.
“Huh? Me?”
“There’s nobody else here,” Alvin teased with a laugh.
“Oh… no one else, right,” Lisa replied.
“Then get in. It’s going to be tough to find a ride right now. There was an accident ahead, so all the buses and cabs have switched routes,” Alvin explained.
Lisa gathered her courage. There was really nothing wrong with accepting his offer, so she jumped at the chance.
“Thank you so much, sir. I’m really, really late because of the traffic. Uh, it feels like every day is torture for us commuters,” Lisa said the moment she was inside the car.
“Well, what else do you expect from the way traffic is managed around here? It’s been a problem for so long, but these politicians focus on everything else instead,” Alvin said.
Alvin was quite chatty, and Lisa was also talkative, so she didn’t feel awkward at all. Even though they were far apart in rank, he treated her like a friend. Alvin was genuinely kind and cheerful—qualities that made all the women in the hotel admire him even more.
“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to the managers. I’ll just say I had you run some errands, which is why you were late,” Alvin offered.
“Sir, what if they think something else?” Lisa asked, worried.
“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it. Besides, out of all the staff, you’re the only one I get to chat with. Remember our first conversation during your interview? You were the friendliest applicant, so we hit it off right away. We may not be close, but I think of you like a friend,” Alvin said, smiling as he pulled away from the curb.
“You’re really too nice, sir. Sometimes you do have to show a bit of a mean streak, because if you’re too nice, people might take advantage of you,” Lisa replied.
“You have a point. But let them do as they will. As for us, we’ll always treat people kindly—because you never know, the person in front of you might be the one who truly needs that kindness,” Alvin said.
Lisa simply smiled at his words.
A few moments later, they arrived at the hotel. She assumed Alvin would just let her out and go on his way, but he accompanied her inside. Lisa felt even more self-conscious because all the employees and guests they passed by were staring at them.
When they got to the staff room, their co-workers were there, including their terror of a manager, Jim, who was also quite the pervert. Jim was with the other junior managers.
“Oh, at least you remember to come in,” Jim said sarcastically to Lisa when he saw her at the door.
“Sorry, sir. Jim, actually, I had Lisa come with me earlier,” Alvin explained. “I saw her waiting for a ride, and I needed someone to help me drop off some stuff at my condo, so I asked for her help.”
Jim had no objections. He believed Alvin right away, since Alvin was the highest-ranking manager there.
“That so, sir?” Jim asked with a grin.
