Amelia looked at the red packet in Harper’s hand and said, “Brother, you don’t understand. The money in the red packet can make more money. This way, I’ll have more and more money in the future!”
Harper snickered. “Feudal superst.i.tion!”
Amelia reached out her tender hand and took the red packet back. She said,
“You don’t understand!”
Harper was in no mood to argue with Amelia. He couldnt be bothered with her.
Amelia was lying between the driver’s and pa.s.senger’s seats, staring intently at the meter. The meter between them showed eighty-nine dollars, then jumped to ninety-six.
The chauffeur said, “We’re here.’
Amelia frowned. Her heart ached. They had only driven forward a little. How did it change from 89 yuan to 96 yuan? Seven extra yuan! She could walk such a small distance!
Amelia looked at the red packet in her hand and said to the chauffeur with a troubled expression, “Uncle chauffeur, can you go back a little?”
The chauffeur exclaimed. Did he drive too far? No! He had never stopped so accurately even in the army! He hurriedly turned around and asked, “Did 1 drive too far? You can’t retreat. If you retreat, you will be captured by the surveillance cameras.” This car was not his. It was fine if his car was fined, but he could not let the real chauffeur be fined.
Amelia shook her head. “No, I don’t have that much money. It’s just 89.”
The chauffeur was speechless. He was silent for a moment before explaining to Amelia, “You have to pay to go back.”
Amelia was stunned. M/hy did she have to pay money to go back?
Seeing Amelia’s confused expression, the chauffeur’s heart softened. “Forget it. I’ll charge you 85 yuan.”
Amelia’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, Uncle!” With that, she took out a hundred yuan from the red packet.
The chauffeur’s mouth twitched. “Aren’t you rich?”
Amelia scratched her head in embarra.s.sment. “Dad said that every cent saved is worth it.”
The chauffeur looked doubtful. Did their Chief Burton say that?
On the other side, Alex’s mouth twitched as he looked at the surveillance cameras. He didn’t, he didn’t say that!
The chauffeur helped Amelia take down her suitcase and the birdcage for her. When he saw Harper following behind, holding his phone and playing with it, he turned around and stuffed the suitcase into Harper’s hand. He then placed the bags and the birdcage on the suitcase.
Harper looked up and realized that he had a bunch of things in his hand.
Harper was speechless. Only then did he realize that Amelia seemed to have carried the luggage all the way?!
Amelia held out her hand. “Brother, let me take it. I’m strong.” She didn’t think anything of it.
Harper slapped Amelia’s hand away and said with a straight face, “Alright, if I let you take it, if you cry from exhaustion later, will you complain to the adults again?” With that, he quickly pulled his suitcase to the entrance of the hotel.
Amelia followed behind happily and said, “This is near Neptune Collegetown.
We’ll be staying here for the next two days.”
Harper said, “Oh.” Neptune Collegetown? Why did the name sound familiar?
Amelia added, “Before I came, I asked Dad to book Room 3408 of this hotel. It’s a two-bedroom apartment next to the room of the sister who jumped off the building.”
Harper suddenly stopped. “F*ck! Why are we living here?!”
Amelia was confused. “Otherwise, why are we here?” They were supposed to catch ghosts. Brother Harper had only taken a look at the photo of the dead lady and was pestered. Of course, she had to catch that lady.
Amelia saw Harper’s expression change and asked, “Brother Harper, are you afraid?”
Harper: “You’re talking nonsense!”
Amelia: “Yes, yes! Then let’s go.”
Harper was speechless. He looked up and saw two tall buildings facing each other. There were three words vertically on the floor: Willow Hotel.
Amelia tiptoed and registered at the front desk. She pulled Harper into the elevator. “Let’s go!’
The elevator went straight up until it reached the thirty-fourth floor. The building was very tall, and the rooms were made densely. There was almost no end to a long corridor. Harper took one look and for some reason felt his hair stand on end. Chills rose from the soles of his feet.
Amelia looked around and a.n.a.lyzed, “It’s too long, Heart Piercing Sha. The corridor is too narrow and long.. It’s very easy to raise ghosts!”
