As Lisa was walking to the elevator, she thought about what happened just now. Her manager is a fifty-five years old man, and he talks with courtesy and respect with Mr. Augustus. Although, he is younger than him.

He must be some big shot that’s why he is here apologizing. Have I committed a huge mistake by asking his ID.?

As she stepped inside the elevator, she asked in curiosity, “Who is he.?”

Her manager turned around and asked surprisingly, “You really don’t figure it out yet.? Don’t you.?”

She shook her head.

He then said, “He's going to buy this hotel. He is here to sign the deal and you were going to spoil it right now. Thank God, someone has seen you getting in the elevator with him, and informed me. Otherwise, it will be a great disaster for us. I have informed the owner too, he will apologize too for your Stupid Professional Behavior.”

She sighed and lowered her head. When they both came out of the elevator, her colleague asked in a panic, “Is everything fine now.?

The manager said, “For now, I handled it but in the future, I can’t say.” Shifting his gaze to Lisa.

Lisa felt very ashamed of herself at this moment. Her manager has never talked to her in this tone in the last two months. She must have done something huge this time.

Looking at her being scolded by the Manager. Her colleague tried to cheer her up by saying, “it’s ok Lisa. It happened. Don’t be disheartened. You were lucky that I saw you and Mr. Carlos taking the elevator. After that, I asked his PA what happened and he told me everything you did.”

Lisa looked at her and said defending, “I was just following the rules.!”

Her colleague patted her shoulder, “I know, I know. But rules don’t apply to rich people.” She sighed looking at Lisa.

“Whatever..”

Lisa held up herself and went to her desk and continued working. She was so upset that she didn’t have an appetite to eat.

In the evening 7’o’ clock, just when Lisa was packing to go. The telephone rang on the desk. She answered, “Hello, this is reception. How can I help you.?”

“Lisa.! This is Augustus. Lost room card, remember me.?” Augustus asked her mockingly.

She rolled her eyes. “Yes, I remember. How can I help you.?”

“Why are you still working.? Do you have a night shift today.?” He asked concernedly.

“I was just about to go when you called.” She replied calmly. “How can I help you.?”

“Well, I just wanted to inform you that I am very tired and going to sleep. As I have taken pills, my sleep should not be disturbed by anyone. No matter what happens, nobody should disturb me. Kindly inform all your staff.” He said in a cold and straight tone and then yawned.

“Okay, duly noted. By the way, you can put a “Do Not Disturb” sign at your door handle.” She said it and he hung up the call.

“Sharp tongue.!” Said Augustus wickedly and looked at Lester.

“Lester, do it.”

“Okay, Boss.” Said Lester and walked out of the suite.

After the call, Lisa wrote down Augustus’s request of not disturbing and handed it to the other receptionist, before leaving.

As she left the hotel and started walking. She heard the fire alarm. When she turned around, people had already started running out of the hotel in panic.

Lisa rushed back to the hotel and asked another receptionist, “What’s the matter.?”

“There has been an explosion on the tenth floor. The manager has ordered to vacate the building. Help is on the way. I am calling everyone’s room to vacate it. Can you help.?”

Lisa nodded and called the room numbers. She called the Presidential Suite too, but nobody answered.

She then remembered that he told her, he took pills he must be asleep by this time. She panicked, what if something happened to him. After all, he is going to be our new owner.

She rushed to the stairs to find the Manager. The manager was on the first floor helping people to evacuate the building. Lisa held the Manager’s arm and said.

“Mr. Augustus.! He’s sleeping in the Presidential Suite. You should wake him up..”

The manager shouted in response, “What.? How do you know.?”

“He called at reception to inform everyone to not disturb him.” She said while helping people on the stairs.

The manager looked at her and then looked up in disbelief, “I can’t go there, I’m an old man. Help is coming, we can wait, don't worry.”

Lisa widened her eyes, “But the explosion was on the tenth floor. What if something happened to him.?”

“I can’t do anything.” He said apologetically.

Lisa couldn’t believe it and glared at him. Her strong glare made him uncomfortable and he snapped, “Why don’t you go up there and save him, instead of staring at me.”

He put a room card in her hand. Lisa looked at it nodded and left angrily. He looked at her back disappointedly.

There was a flood of people running down the stairs in one direction. And it was very difficult for Lisa to go through them in the opposite direction.

After climbing the stairs to the fifth floor, she was relieved that nobody was left in the hotel. Thank God.. but Mr. Augustus, shit..! Thinking of him, she removed her sandals and climbed up the stairs at fastest.

She reached the tenth floor and smoke was all over. She covered her mouth and headed to the Presidential Suite. She unlocked the door and entered.

Nobody was there, she headed to the bedroom and pushed open the door. “Mr. Augustus, wake up.”

She froze at the moment. Augustus was sitting on an armchair beautifully dressed without wearing his coat, and reading some documents calmly. As if there is no explosion at all.

Augustus looked up and saw Lisa standing at the door. Her hair is messy, she’s barefoot, her face had some black marks and her clothes were rumpled.

She fell on the ground coughing hard. Augustus rushed over to her and helped her to drink water.

She was trying to catch her breath while drinking water. After a while, when Augustus was sure she is ready to talk. He asked,

“What are you doing.?”

“There is an explosion. We are evacuating the building. You didn’t answer the call so I came over to wake you up..”

By hearing her words, he was shocked. She came up by herself to save me, stupid women. What if something happened to her. Why didn't she run away, and save her own life.?

He stood up and called Lester, “It’s enough, stop it now.”

Lisa looked at his calmness and couldn’t figure out what’s going on?

After a minute, the alarm went off and Lester came in.

“It’s all done, Boss. What’s next.?”

Lester asked. He didn’t notice Lisa who was sitting on the ground.

“Fired all of them, a bunch of idiots, right now.! I don’t want those cowards in my hotel. They will ruin my reputation .”

Augustus said angrily and then pointed at Lisa, “Except her.”

Just then Lester realized there was a third person in the room.

Lisa looked at both men looking down at her, she felt embarrassed and tried to get up.

She has climbed stairs to the tenth floor and hasn't eaten anything since her breakfast. She naturally felt weak, Lester came in immediately and supported her to stand.

When Augustus saw his hand touching her. He shot a glance at him and he withdrew his hand immediately in fear.

Lisa looked at Augustus. He is now not wearing his sunglasses. And she can clearly see his deep blue eyes. How could someone have that much clear and beautiful eyes..!

Augustus looked into her eyes and asked, “Why do you come here.? To wake me.? Are you stupid.? You could have hurt yourself.? Look at yourself.! By just climbing stairs, you’re exhausted. How would you take me out of this room, huh.? Do you think you can fly.?” He roared.

Lisa protested, “I am not stupid..! It’s just out of humanity Mr. Augustus. Even if there was a person whom I don’t even care about, I would have saved him out of humanity.”

“What.? You mean, you care for me.?” He asked, his eyes twinkling.

“No, Mr. Augustus. You misunderstood.” She said immediately.

A flash of disappointment crosses his face. Meanwhile, Lisa was still puzzled by his calm nature and couldn’t figure out why he and his secretary were not taking this explosion seriously.

Instead of leaving the building, He is ordering his secretary to fire all the staff. And his secretary is asking what’s next.? Weird right...

When Augustus saw her puzzled look. He asked in irritation. “What’s wrong.?”

“Why didn't you react to the news of the explosion? Why are you so calm.?” Lisa asked nervously.

“It was fake.” He replied lazily.

“But...” just as Lisa was trying to argue Lester came forward and said with a smile. “It was a drill, Miss Lisa.”
