Chapter 221

Her eyes widened, and she looked confused. However, she only allowed herself to stay like this for a

second before regaining her composure. She grabbed her things and hurried off the plane. She had to

catch up with Darius.

When Kate saw them moving, she got ready to get off the plane as well. Before she could do so,

someone appeared before her. It was a man with blond hair and plain features. She knew who he was-

Darius' bodyguard, the surgeon.

The captain practically worshipped him and treated Darius nicely because of him. So, she told herself

to be nice to him.

She forced out a smile and said, "You're Edward, right? May I know why you’re stopping me from

getting off the plane?"

Edward looked at her seriously. "Because I'm a bodyguard. I can tell that you want to get close to Mr.

Reid, and that's not something that I can allow."

Kate resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She was starting to dislike Edward already, but she couldn't

show it. As she pondered this, Edward said, "Mr. Reid will be in Almiron City for a long time. I don't

think you need to express your thoughts right now. Also, if my memory serves me right, the Anderson

Group is very influential here. I suppose it's something for you to think about."

He stretched his neck, then continued, "I think I've overstepped my boundary as a bodyguard, so this is

the end of our conversation. I hope that you won't show up before Mr. Reid for the time being. Also, I

hope that you’ll learn proper communication before the next time we meet.

Otherwise, I'll exercise my right and duty as a bodyguard."

Without waiting for Kate's reaction, he turned and left. Kate remained rooted to the spot, only returning

to her senses once Edward was out of her sight. She shrieked angrily, "Edward, you're just a

bodyguard! You have no right to speak to me like that!" It was too late, though. Neither Darius nor

Edward heard her.

At this moment, the four of them had already gotten into the car Erin had prepared. Edward was in the

driver's seat, Bridget was in the passenger seat, and Darius and Erin were in the back.

Erin turned to Darius and said, "Mr. Reid, you didn't have anything concrete planned for this trip before

we came here, so I've prepared a simple itinerary for you to go through. You’ll have to let me know

what other plans you have."

Darius nodded and said, "Okay."

Erin handed him her laptop. He quickly scrolled through the itinerary and said, 'This is fine. I don't have

anything else to add."

Erin nodded and put the laptop away. "Per the schedule, we should be heading to our hotel now. It’s a

five-star hotel, the best one that Almiron City offers. It's called Umbrite Hotel. It has the best restaurant

in the city and provides various cuisines. It also has a splendid view."

Darius looked at her approvingly. This was exactly what he needed. The Reid Consortium hadn't

invested much in Almiron City because it wasn't that well-developed, and he now needed to get more

people interested in this place.

He was shocked by its size despite knowing that it wasn’t well-developed. It had only taken them

twenty minutes to get from the airport to the hotel.

The hotel's entrance was framed by a gilded door to show its lavishness. The security guards and valet

stood at attention, but Darius' car didn't pique their interest. None of them stepped forward to offer to

park the car.

This upset Darius, and he turned to look at the car. It cost half a million, which Erin had gotten in

Almiron City. He could understand that the car was too cheap to make them spring into action, but he

couldn't accept the fact that their attitude was affecting their work performance.

Erin's heart started to race at the displeasure on Darius' face. She knew that he was starting to feel

dissatisfied with the hotel, so she quickly got out of the car. "Mr. Reid, this is the best hotel that I could

find in Almiron City. If you’re unhappy with it or with the car, I'll immediately arrange for you to stay

elsewhere. Please, don't allow this to affect your mood."

Darius looked at her, surprised. "I don't mean that. I think these employees don't have the right frame of

mind. Their lackadaisical attitude has

resulted in Edward being unable to park the car in the correct spot because he doesn't know a thing

about this place."

Realization dawned on Erin. She walked over to the employees and said, "I don’t think that you people

should be standing around here like this. You should be helping to park the car. Also, none of you came

to welcome us. This is a disgrace to your hotel’s service standards."
