Chapter 130 - Misunderstand

The Dalton Hotel was located in the best location of City Y. To its left was the CBD and to the right side was a street of real estate companies. There was a large water park nearby. Next to its location were the famous commercial streets of City Y.

Occupying such a good location, Dalton Hotel had been growing steadily since its opening. The hotel's service system and culture had been steadily developing toward standardization.

But the hotel's owner, who never missed a morning meeting, didn't show up today. The staff waited for five minutes quietly. But no one came out from the elevator.

Was he go home last night?

The lobby manager went upstairs to the Ferne's room and saw the door open, the air conditioner on, but there was no one on the bed.

So, he immediately gathered all the employees for an emergency meeting.

"Mr. Ferne is gone! The air conditioner in his room is on. If he goes out, he will never forget to turn off it. Moreover, the lights are on. This means that he is planning to come back, but he is unable to do it!"

"What? Was he kidnapped?" The employees were frightened.

The lobby manager said with a serious expression, "I guess that he is being locked at home by his wife."

The employees felt they were fooled.

After all, Mr. Ferne stayed in the hotel almost every day. They were used to it. So, they were a little worried about his absence.

A female staff member asked softly, "Then what should we do? Should we go to his house and have a look?"

The lobby manager immediately responded, "Then you go."

She regretted asking the question.

She'd better not go.

The lobby manager said again with a serious face, "Although Mr. Ferne is not here, we should work hard as usual. Don't be lazy. Alright, the meeting is over."

Only then did the staff go back to work.

A round-faced staff member A dragged the other long-faced staff member B to the entrance of the wine cellar.

"What are you doing?" staff member B asked.

Staff member A stared at the cellar door and whispered, "I'm afraid that Mr. Ferne didn't go home."

They looked at the cellar at the same time. They both knew that Ferne was with a man in the wine cellar yesterday. Staff member B was excited for a while, and she pointed at the door, "But the door is locked."

"Right. Mr. Ferne won't lock himself in." Staff member A pondered.

At this moment, a 60-year-old man came over with a key. He lived nearby and was in charge of looking after the wine cellar. Normally, he was only responsible for opening and locking the door. Yesterday, Mr. Ferne told him not to bother about it, so he didn't come. But when he got up in the late night and went to the bathroom, he saw that the door was opened, and he locked it.

He was thinking about to report to Mr. Ferne today. If anything happened when the door was opened, who would be responsible for the loss?

However, Mr. Ferne was not in the hotel today, so he could only wait for him to come.

When staff member A saw him, she immediately greeted, "Mr. Hartman, are you going to open the door?"

Mr. Hartman was a little deaf. People should raise their volume when talking to him.

"Any guest orders wine in the morning?" Mr. Hartman asked.

Staff member A nodded, "Yes, a foreign guest."

Staff member B looked at her and then at Mr. Hartman, "Yes, a foreigner."

Hartman answered and took out the key to open the door. As he opened it, he said, "You guys go in and get it. I'll lock it when you come out. Last night, I came out and saw that the wine cellar door was still opened."

Hartman kind of lost the two girls. Their eyes wandered to the cellar and they went downstairs, but suddenly stopped before they reached the last step.

On the ground right in front of them, two men snuggled tightly together. They were covered with blankets and sleeping soundly. But one of them opened his eyes vigilantly the moment he heard the sound.

Then, he raised his head and saw two little girls on the stairs.

"……"

"……"

"……"

What a familiar scene. They looked at each other.

Noah lowered his head and looked at Ferne, who was sleeping in his arms.

Then he lifted his arm and pushed Ferne out.

Ferne was shivering from the cold air, and opened his eyes and looked around. He then moved towards Noah and curled up in Noah's arms.

He had to sleep for six hours a day or he would be sleepy the next day. In the latter half of the night, he was kind enough to bring blankets to Noah. But before he could leave, the door was locked. Hartman could not hear his shouts coming from the other door, either.

In the late night, the two men fought for the quilt. Though Noah was restrained by handcuffs, he was on par with Ferne. At last, they decided to share a quilt because they were both sleepy and tired.

Noah kicked Ferne and said in a hoarse voice, "They are coming for you."

"Who?" Ferne opened his eyes in a daze. He looked at the door. But the sun light was too strong, he couldn't open his eyes fully for a while.

Mr. Hartman also came down, "Hurry up, girls. There haven't been cleaned for several days."

Before he could finish his sentence, the 60-year-old man trembled. Perhaps the scene was too much for this old man. He couldn't finish speaking for a long time, so he could only turn around and climb upstairs quickly. He even staggered halfway, and he finally remembered to pull the two girls out as well.

Ferne finally looked recognized Hartman and shouted, "Wait!"

However, the three of them ran even faster when they heard him. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the door. One of them closed the door thoughtfully. This time, they did not lock it.

Ferne was relieved.

He turned around and felt that something was wrong, "Gosh, why are you in my arms?"

Noah glanced at him coldly and said, "Are you blind?"

Ferne lowered his head and saw that he was the one who slept in other's arms.

He quietly distanced from Noah, tidied up, and wanted to leave.

Noah leaned on his right arm and gazed at Ferne, "Give me a room, I won't escape. But if you still lock me up here, your employees will misunderstand."

Ferne had just woken up, and he couldn't think clearly yet. Hearing this, he subconsciously retorted, "We are both men, what will they misunderstand?"

Noah sneered and closed his eyes.

Outside the wine cellar, Hartman's hands couldn't stop trembling. He knew that some rich people had some disgraceful habits and secrets. He didn't expect that he would see such a scene just now.

His expression was not good. First, he was afraid; second, that scene was too startling; third, he was worried that he would lose the job. Fourth, he still hadn't recovered from that shock. As he walked out, he warned the girls, "Remember, you didn't see anything. Don't say a word when you go back!"

The two girls nodded repeatedly.

Hartman hurriedly returned to his small room. He turned around anxiously. There was only a picture of his wife in his room. He usually talked to this picture when he had nothing to do. At this moment, he completely lost his mind. Holding the picture in his hand, he said, "Oh my God, why would I see such a scene? Will Mr. Ferne fire me? My dear, what should I do? Maybe I'll pretend I didn't see him, I didn't know that Mr. Ferne likes men, I didn't see him sleeping with a man in the wine cellar."

Ferne, who had just arrived at the door, was completely stupefied.
