Chapter 145: Ali and Abin (1)
My name is Ali.
I'm a hotel lobby manager, and not long ago, I set fire to the hotel where I started working part-time during my college days, just to prove my loyalty and innocence in love.
As long as people will have a deep affection for their first job, I am no exception, but these feelings are negative, the head of the hotel chose me as the lobby manager among so many college graduates, not only because I studied hotel management in college, but more importantly, I can protect myself well without affecting the interest of the guests.
My boyfriend and I have known each other since we were children, to be exact, except for the first year when we didn't even know each other, we have been together for almost twenty-two years.
In the past 24 years, to be honest, we have not blushed once, we have not quarreled once, we have not had a misunderstanding, so we got engaged smoothly, but in the last month of the wedding, we began to quarrel.
It's not really a premarital phobia, but because I was hired as a lobby manager at the city's best hotel, the Wave Hotel, right after I graduated.
Logically speaking, this should be considered a good thing, after all, I was lucky enough to be able to enter the management of a large hotel as soon as I graduated...... It's just that the appearance of that person completely changed my life.
That person's name is Xiao Xiaodong, and he is a man who made a fortune by speculation.
After I entered the Wave Hotel as a lobby manager for more than a month, I don't know how he did it, he actually bought 20% of the shares from the person in charge of the hotel, and naturally became one of the major shareholders of the hotel, so he began to appear frequently in my life......
Since that day, I haven't seen him step out of this hotel, he has been sleeping soundly in the hotel during the day, asking the waiter to bring him to his room if he needs anything, and singing in the hotel every night.
I contacted him because his waiter was not at the hotel that day, so he asked me to deliver something to him...... So from that day on, I began to face his endless pestering, he asked for my phone number from the person in charge, every day it was either phone calls or text messages, but because of the nature of the work, I could not change the number.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, as long as I was on duty, he would appear by my side, talk to me, and find me...... However, due to the higher salary, I couldn't change jobs.
My boyfriend...... It should be my fiancé, every time I get off work, he will come to pick me up, the first time he sees me chatting with him, he will listen to my explanation, the second time he sees me chatting with him, he will still listen to me, but the third time and the fourth time...... Every day when I see him with me, he starts to doubt, I don't blame him, after all, if it were me, I would think the same way.
So that's how the quarrel came, and it was inevitable......
Yes, there is only one way to resolve this dispute, and that is to quit this job, but I am reluctant to do so.
Because my family conditions with him are not very good, it is absolutely unrealistic to gnaw at my parents at home, only rely on us to work hard, I am a lobby manager, he is a lecturer at a junior college...... It's still an elective, to put it bluntly, money is a realistic thing, so I have to choose the latter between endless quarrels and work.
And because I can protect myself well, I just need to keep an eye on Xiao Xiaodong every day and not be alone in a room with him...... Without touching the bottom line, if you coax him well, you can get double or even triple the salary, what's so bad about that?
Until one morning, just as I was about to take over, my fiancé sent me a text message that went something like this: "If you don't quit this job again...... Let's break up! ”
Seeing this news, my whole world went dark, I collapsed on the bed, I kept thinking about this sentence in my mind, my heart was very sour, I didn't do this for you, so that we can live a good life, and I didn't do anything to be sorry for you...... And is it possible that our twenty-four years of affection are to be placed in this ridiculous doubt?
When I staggered to the service desk, the waiter, who also staggered to the desk, told me that something was wrong with the hotel.
After listening to her words, I was very anxious, after all, as long as there was an accident in the hotel, I, the lobby manager, would bear a lot of responsibility, and I was shocked when I hurried to the place of the accident with the waiter.
Because the room where the accident occurred, it was full of dense broken glass, and naturally there was blood flowing constantly, when I put away this shock and walked into the room and saw the woman lying on the ground, I understood what the real sense of the heart was beating, and only then did I know what the real sense of horror was......
The woman's delicate countenance and delicate figure were ruined at this moment by dense glass shards, which covered every inch of her skin, and looked terrifying......
When she handed me the ID card she was clutching tightly in her hand and asked me to help her, I didn't come back to my senses.
When I saw the words "Xiao Xiaodong" written on it, I suddenly sobered up and agreed to her request, I only dialed 120 for her, and did not help her dial 110, I also used my identity to remove all suspicious things about Xiao Xiaodong, because I didn't want him to fall into the hands of the police...... Because it seems too cheap for him......
Since that day, I have been waiting for an opportunity to take back from him everything I have lost......
But he disappeared during that time, and it was obvious that he needed to hide for a while, to avoid the limelight.
More than ten days later, when I was working at the service desk as usual, a waiter brought a message from the hotel manager, informing me that I didn't have to go to work because the woman had committed suicide and her parents had claimed a large sum of money from the hotel.
I felt bored because I had lost my love and the only career I could rely on......
As soon as I went out, I met Xiao Xiaodong who returned to the hotel, but coincidentally, it happened to be my engagement anniversary with my fiancé, so when he saw me and Xiao Xiaodong looking extremely ambiguous conversation, he threw the roses that were going to give me and the engagement ring that symbolized a lifetime commitment on my face, leaving a word and leaving without looking back.
"Break up, your body is dirtier than Miss, I can't afford it......"
This sentence completely broke my heart defense, and just when I was heartbroken, I inadvertently saw the ID card that originally belonged to Xiao Xiaodong in my bag.
So......
What I have lost, I will make amends with your life......
So I bought sleeping pills, caught his lustful psychology, and played a little trick, so that he willingly drank sleeping pills and was tied up by me......
In the end, of course, I took out the gasoline that I had prepared a long time ago and wanted to die with him, and burned him and the hotel that took away my youth and my love.
When I set fire to the hotel, I didn't forget why I did it in the first place...... I just want to prove my loyalty and innocence in love.
Love is gone......
My innocence will be gone with this hotel full of filth and darkness that ruined my life, and without it all I have nothing left......
As I walked from the perfectly safe bathroom to the roaring flames, I just remember the last words that came to my mind were:
Bye...... I used to ...... Treat it as a ...... of life Love!
