Chapter 522: An ordinary day in the life of a maid.
Starting from the year when he was twenty-seven, Dantès has been running a hotel in his hometown for more than ten years.
Travelers with stories, young people going out to explore, frustrated people who have nowhere to go... He has seen so many in his past life.
But today the woman walked in from the door.
Definitely an unprecedented special visitor.
Her travel-stained clothes, delicate and beautiful face, and expression without any emotion...
She is said to be a pampered young lady, and the old maid clothes are not suitable for such a status; it is said that she is a traveler from afar, indifferent and ruthless The look on his face was completely unmatched; as for the merchants who were engaged in business, it was even more impossible for a woman to travel alone with only a suitcase.
Dantès began to recall -
is there anyone in the nearby towns who fits the image of this lady? Or is there any relevant news recently?
For someone like him who runs a hotel.
It is still important to find out the identity of the guest.
While Dantès was thinking, the cold beauty dressed as a maid who walked into the hotel had already come to him with a clear purpose.
The owner of the hotel instinctively showed his tempered smile:
"Madam, what do you need?"
"I can provide you with a delicious dinner or accommodation."
The maid's face remained unchanged, and her voice was even more toneless. Fluctuation in degree:
"Stay one night and help me prepare food for the week."
While speaking, the maid placed a few depps on the counter in front of Dantès.
The experienced innkeeper only glanced at it and determined that the money was enough to complete what the maid asked. Still analyzing the other party's identity in his mind, Dantès took out a pen and paper at the same time and began to write down:
"Are you the guest...?"
"A direct servant of the Adler family."
The maid's answer surprised Dantès. Almost subconsciously, she asked:
"Well... where is your name?"
The maid replied calmly:
"Marianne."
Dantès nodded slightly, and then began to record it in his workbook.
However, when he finished calculating the accounts and took out the room key from under the counter, someone was already approaching him in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
——Klein and Modko.
——Two famous vagrants in the town.
Without even thinking, Dantès understood the purpose of these two guys.
In a small town like this, the servant named Marianne in front of them was absolutely a beauty that could never be imagined in their dreams. The two gangsters met this rare girl and heard that she was a 'maid'.
Trying to keep them indifferent is simply a fantasy.
"Miss, is this your first time in town?"
"I heard that you are a servant of the Adler family. I have also heard of that family. Do you want to talk together?" "
From this store. The toast tastes good, may I treat you?"
"..."
Looking at Klein and Modco, Dantès bent down to pick up the keys and slowed down slightly. He also deliberately turned the keychain and made a rummaging sound. sound.
"Alas -"
he sighed slightly, the innkeeper was also feeling uncomfortable now.
On the one hand, this feeling stems from the worry that the two gangsters want to harm the maid. A beautiful girl came to a strange town alone, and he knew exactly how unlucky it would be to meet such a person.
But at the same time, there was still a subtle strangeness in Dantes' mind.
--maybe.
——Is Klein and Modko in trouble?
"..."
However, it was very quiet in front of the counter.
Dantès waited for some time before standing up straight with the keys he had already found.
The picture in front of him surprised him a little.
After the maid paid no attention to their reactions, Klein and Modko did not continue to entangle with each other as before. Instead, they smiled and returned to their original sitting position.
What is this...
special treatment for such a rare beauty?
With a murmur in his heart, Dantès did not forget what he should do now. He handed the key to the beauty in front of him:
"Madam, your room is on the second floor. The number is the same as the one on the key."
"Something to eat. I will send it to you as soon as possible."
"..."
The maid named Marianne still looked unfazed.
She simply took the key from the hotel owner and prepared to walk to the second floor without saying a word.
At this time, the apprentice hired by Dantès came over diligently.
Be prepared to carry a suitcase for this lady.
However, both hands tightly grasped the handle of the suitcase, and the apprentice was dumbfounded.
After working in the hotel for several years, he has long been accustomed to all kinds of tiring and strenuous work. Although there are times when his strength is really not enough, no matter which time, he will not be like today!
He couldn't lift the guest's suitcase.
This feeling...
wasn't that the box was too heavy, but that it felt like the box was growing on the ground, and he was preparing to wrestle with the entire earth.
"..."
Seeing the little apprentice's situation in her eyes, the expression on the maid's face remained unchanged.
It wasn't until the apprentice couldn't help but let go voluntarily in embarrassment that the maid bent down to carry the suitcase as if nothing had happened, turned around and walked upstairs without hesitation.
Watching the other person's back disappear around the corner of the stairs.
The apprentice turned his neck stiffly to the left, and then looked at his boss:
"Don... Mr. Dantès, I...?"
The innkeeper smiled bitterly and said:
"Go on and continue working. It's nothing. Don't think too much."
"Yes, yes."
After the exchange between the boss and the apprentice ended.
The small and short-lived twists and turns in the hotel soon disappeared.
For the people living in the town, this overly beautiful woman is just a silhouette in life and has nothing to do with real life.
Dantès, on the other hand, looked at Klein and Modco, and then saw something with certainty.
These two men are indeed eyeing this maid!
"..."
I can only hope that the lady can run away.
Dantès shook his head secretly, and at the same time suppressed the thought of a hero saving the beauty in his heart.
Wake up, I am not a young man who is just starting out and eager for adventure.
All his family property is placed here!
If he had to come into conflict with two local gangsters, Klein and Modko, the business he relied on for a living would be completely ruined.
"..."
Early the next morning.
The maid walked slowly and left the hotel with an expressionless face.
Dantès stood behind the counter wiping the table, and a few hours later he was startled by a sound outside.
"Someone died here!"
"He died for a while, probably last night."
"..."
The news in the hotel was passed quickly, and as the owner of the hotel, Dantès got the result in just a few minutes.
——Klein and Modko are both dead.
The bodies of both of them were on the road to the north outside the hotel. Last night or early in the morning, one of them fell and hit his head while walking and died directly, while the other had an insect flying into his trachea and blocking his breathing.
Standing behind the counter, Dantes looked outside.
The room on the second floor where the maid lives seems to be on the north side...
[I played with a beautiful girl yesterday and ended up getting food poisoning...]
[Everyone should pay more attention to their health when eating pickles...]
