Chapter 74 Suspicious Hotel Staff
Chapter 74 Suspicious Hotel Staff
That eerie feeling returned–the same one she’d had just before leaving the last hotel.
Was someone following her?
Tess’s heart thudded hard against her ribs. Panic surged, and she picked up her pace, rushing toward the hotel.
The front desk hotel staff, Jennifer Webb, was startled by her disheveled state. “Ma’am, is everything alright?”
The warm, golden light of the lobby wrapped around her like a blanket, calming her nerves.
Tess forced a shaky breath and offered an apologetic smile. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just here to check in.”
Hearing that, Jennifer’s face lit up, and she promptly began the check–in process with practiced cheer.
When the key card was finally handed over, Tess exhaled in relief.
Still, before heading to her room, she glanced over her shoulder at the outside.
Only dry leaves swirled across the pavement, nothing visibly out of place. Maybe she was just being paranoid,
She patted her chest and tried to laugh it off. “Get a grip, Tess,” she muttered.
“Is there a problem, ma’am?” Jennifer asked kindly, catching the flicker of unease in her expression.

“Nothing.” Tess shook her head and asked, “This area is sort of on the outskirts, right? How’s the security around here?”
Jennifer gave a bright smile and said, “Ah, so that’s what you were worried about. Don’t worry–our hotel is fully equipped with security features. Every room has an emergency alarm button. If anything feels off, just press it, and help will come right away.”
That did ease her mind. Tess nodded gratefully. “Thank you. That’s reassuring.”
Once inside the room with Layla, the tension she’d been carrying began to dissolve into exhaustion.
She changed the baby into her pajamas, fed her, and was just about to settle in for the night when-
Knock Knock.
The sudden sound joited her.
Tess groaned and rubbed her temples, then opened the door.
It was Jennifer, holding a food tray.
“I didn’t order anything. Tess said, confused.
Jennifer smiled politely and said, “It’s a complimentary gift for first–time guests. Just a little late–night treat.”
She gently nudged the tray toward Tess.
Tess still felt something was off but accepted it politely.

customer feedback as we deliver it”
Tess caught on “So you’d like me to try it now?”
“Yes, please
Tess glanced at her closely. The woman still wore that perfect customer service smile. Flawless. Impeccable.
