“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 virtual-novel.net a lot of money. Since virtual-novel.net had to work hard to make his money, virtual-novel.net was always conscious of his spending.
“Receptionist, I’d like to book a room,” Xavier spoke in Turlenese which virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net could finish the job Vinson gave virtual-novel.net within half a month. As virtual-novel.net was answering the receptionist, virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net his ID card.
Dillon was the one who had helped virtual-novel.net get the ID card when they met. When Xavier was told that Dillon had lost his identification documents, virtual-novel.net then realized virtual-novel.net needed an ID card as well. Hence, virtual-novel.net got Dillon to help virtual-novel.net apply for an ID card when Dillon was applying for his own. In regards to how Dillon managed to help virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net saw the lady checking his ID card endlessly. He acted calm and collected when virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net before uttering, “You’re a foreigner!”
The lady’s name was Lana, and virtual-novel.net was the owner of the hotel. She was twenty-six-year-old that year. After virtual-novel.net graduated from university, virtual-novel.net father gave virtual-novel.net the hotel, and virtual-novel.net was very much a hands-on owner.
“How could you tell I’m a foreigner?” Xavier stared at virtual-novel.net calmly.
That was the first time virtual-novel.net had blown his cover so quickly.
Lana flashed a faint smile and raised virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net father used to send virtual-novel.net all over the world in order for virtual-novel.net to broaden virtual-novel.net perspective. Indeed, virtual-novel.net had been to countless countries, and virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net smile when virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net had already purchased some solution at the hospital to change the color of his eyes.
I’m certain virtual-novel.net can’t pinpoint a characteristic of me that says I’m a foreigner.
Lana furrowed virtual-novel.net brows and scrutinized virtual-novel.net closely.
A grin appeared on Xavier’s face. She looks adorable when virtual-novel.net has a serious look on virtual-novel.net face.
