The man that was pointed at donned a nice suit. He was the manager of the Royal Banquet
Hotel, Michael
When Michael saw that the waitress pointed at him, he went weak at the knees. “Don’t talk nonsense!” he blurted. “I was just a lowly sweeper five years ago. How would I know who came in and out of the presidential suite?”
“That’s precisely why you’d know. Five years ago on Valentine’s Day, I was supposed to be on duty till five in the morning when my boyfriend asked me out. I wanted to spend Valentine’s Day with him, so I swapped shifts with you. 2
“Not only were you on night watch that night, but you were also responsible for that floor. You would’ve seen people coming in and out of the floor!” she exclaimed.
Michael was flabbergasted at the waitress’s impeccable memory, and he began turning pale as fear washed over him.
Anthony’s gaze darkened as his gaze swept over him.
“Looks like you want to meet my alligator. Nial, take him.”
“Okay.” Nial reached out to pull him.
Michael was so alarmed that he scrambled onto the floor. He fell to his knees with a thud. “Mr. Bailey, please spare my life!” he pleaded. “I really don’t know who the girl was. I didn’t see her, I swear…!”
“Then why did you hide the fact that you were on the night shift? Why did you feel guilty?” Nial pressed on.
Nial, a doctor, could guess how people felt based on their eyes.
As he felt like he was cornered, Michael started sweating profusely. He eventually managed to reply, “… I was on shift. During the shift, I…fed some medicine to Mr. Bailey…”
Michael shook violently in fear as he tried to explain the situation to Anthony. “Ms. Tiffany wanted me to feed you the medicine. I had no guts to do it whatsoever, but she threatened and lured me. She said that if I didn’t help, she’d get me fired from my job and that I’d be unemployable forever. Because of this, I snuck in the medicine to your drink. 1
“Mr. Bailey, it was my fault! I’ve lived in fear for so many years now, afraid that I’d be discovered. I dare not ask for anything; only that you spare my life. My wife is pregnant, and she’s almost due. She and our child can’t live without me!” he pleaded fearfully.
Anthony turned his gaze to Nial whilst Nial eyed Michael carefully. After a while, he said, “ Brother, he really is telling the truth.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
That meant that five years ago, the medicine was fed to him by Tiffany instead of the girl…
Anthony looked at Michael coolly and said, “If it was Tiffany, why was the one who entered m
y room a different girl?”
“I don’t know why. At that time, I was already so afraid after putting the medicine in your drink. I was afraid of getting into trouble! Ms. Tiffany told us not to disturb you guys, so I just left and hid at the stairs. I really don’t know what happened next,” Michael explained solemnly.
Anthony’s expression sank. The only choice left was to investigate and interrogate Tiffany. 1
He got up and walked out, but he stopped right next to Michael. “Your wife is going to give birth, and it’s time to go back and take care of her,” he concluded before he left.
Michael fell to the ground on his knees… He was fired.
Michael assessed the situation at hand and looked at it from a different perspective: He drugged Mr. Bailey but managed to keep his life. Getting fired was god’s grace to him.
“Thank you, Mr. Bailey!” He knelt and bowed to him with gratitude.
The three Bailey men went inside an elevator and headed for the ground floor.
