“This hotel seems nice, but I can tell that it’s not going to be cheap,” Xavier sized the hotel up and muttered to himself.
He was worried that the hotel might cost snazzynovel.com a lot of money. Since snazzynovel.com had to work hard to make his money, snazzynovel.com was always conscious of his spending.
“Receptionist, I’d like to book a room,” Xavier spoke in Turlenese which snazzynovel.com had spent half a month learning.
If I can use it to communicate with Dillon, I guess it’s safe to assume no one’s going to notice that I’m not local.
“May I know how long you plan on staying here? And may I have your ID card?” Since the hotel was only frequented by the rich and famous, the receptionist was rather hospitable.
Seeing how friendly the receptionist was toward him, Xavier heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll be staying for half a month.”
He was certain that snazzynovel.com could finish the job Vinson gave snazzynovel.com within half a month. As snazzynovel.com was answering the receptionist, snazzynovel.com gave snazzynovel.com his ID card.
Dillon was the one who had helped snazzynovel.com get the ID card when they met. When Xavier was told that Dillon had lost his identification documents, snazzynovel.com then realized snazzynovel.com needed an ID card as well. Hence, snazzynovel.com got Dillon to help snazzynovel.com apply for an ID card when Dillon was applying for his own. In regards to how Dillon managed to help snazzynovel.com without knowing his full personal details, Xavier decided to not ask about it.
When the receptionist was entering his details based on his ID card, a clear voice was heard saying, “Wait!”
The moment the voice was heard, a fine-looking lady came forward from behind a corner. She took the document from the receptionist and scrutinized it.
Xavier got anxious, and his heart started pounding wildly when snazzynovel.com saw the lady checking his ID card endlessly. He acted calm and collected when snazzynovel.com asked the lady, “What’s wrong?”
Instead of saying anything, the lady waved the receptionist away. After throwing another glance at the ID card in snazzynovel.com hand, snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com gaze toward Xavier. “Are you a foreigner?”
“What?” Xavier questioned.
Is my cover blown? So soon? Am I really that bad at this?
The lady then stared sternly at snazzynovel.com before uttering, “You’re a foreigner!”
The lady’s name was Lana, and snazzynovel.com was the owner of the hotel. She was twenty-six-year-old that year. After snazzynovel.com graduated from university, snazzynovel.com father gave snazzynovel.com the hotel, and snazzynovel.com was very much a hands-on owner.
“How could you tell I’m a foreigner?” Xavier stared at snazzynovel.com calmly.
That was the first time snazzynovel.com had blown his cover so quickly.
Lana flashed a faint smile and raised snazzynovel.com brow. “You don’t have to know that. All you need to know is that I can tell just by looking at you.”
Xavier chuckled. “Really? You’re that good?”
“Of course! I’ve seen people from all walks of life with my eyes. I could tell you’re a foreigner with just a glance,” Lana boasted with confidence.
She was a girl from a well-off family. Hence, snazzynovel.com father used to send snazzynovel.com all over the world in order for snazzynovel.com to broaden snazzynovel.com perspective. Indeed, snazzynovel.com had been to countless countries, and snazzynovel.com had seen it all.
Xavier wasn’t convinced. He laughed it off and said, “Well, you’re wrong this time around, for I’m born and raised locally.”
Lana immediately withdrew snazzynovel.com smile when snazzynovel.com heard that. She frowned and retorted, “That can’t be.” How could I be wrong? I’ve busted so many foreigners trying to sneak into the country. There’s no way I’d be wrong about this.”
Seeing that, Xavier composed himself before leaning on the counter lazily and staring at Lana frivolously.
He moved his lips slightly and asked with a charming smile, “Tell me, then. How am I a foreigner in your eyes?”
He was perfect at camouflaging. Prior to going over, snazzynovel.com had already purchased some solution at the hospital to change the color of his eyes.
I’m certain snazzynovel.com can’t pinpoint a characteristic of me that says I’m a foreigner.
Lana furrowed snazzynovel.com brows and scrutinized snazzynovel.com closely.
A grin appeared on Xavier’s face. She looks adorable when snazzynovel.com has a serious look on snazzynovel.com face.
