5 Chapter 5: I'm No Man's Woman

"Are you all done?" Kim Eunji squinted her eyes at the manager and the group.

"Then... can I speak now?" Kim Eunji added as she heaved a sigh and touched the space between her brows. Her head was starting to ache and she had no time for this drama.

If this was in the past, making things difficult for her only means DEATH for the perpetrators.

After she left her past life, she seldom encountered provocations and confrontations like this. If she did, it was her best friend Kelly who would come to her rescue.

"Slandering me in front of these honorable guests without valid evidence to support your claims. Calling me a paparazzi. Look at me... Do I look like one?..." Eunji's indifferent expression drastically changed which made the manager's firm footing staggered.

She knew that a person was judged by the clothing he wore. Because she looked cheap they dared to bully her.

Her mocking and condescending expression toward Kim Eunji suddenly changed as her beautiful face paled and cold sweat formed on her forehead. However, Kim Eunji commended her in her heart as the manager only staggered a bit, regained her tough facade back, and was now standing firmly but gone were those arrogant eyes.

Kim Eunji's aura when triggered would never be pleasant.

Her feline-shaped heterochromia eyes became dead serious as she made her advance toward the manager. The manager was already shorter than Kim Eunji. This fact made Kim Eunji chuckle. Not because she was bullying her height but because the manager was close to collapsing on the floor.

Kim Eunji dropped her duffle bag on the floor and placed her hands on the manager's shoulder. The latter flinched when she felt Kim Eunji's palm touch her shoulder.

Kim Eunji then bent her head and her face draw closer to the manager's face which made the manager alarmed. "Afraid? Don't be. I am not done yet..." Kim Eunji huskily whispered this warning to the manager's ears. She could feel the manager shuddering at her touch.

The bystanders were caught off-guard by Kim Eunji's actions.

'Is she flirting with her?' They thought in unison.

As she drew back, she intentionally caressed her face using the tip of her index finger. Her action made the woman flinch at her touch.

Kim Eunji showed her enchanting smile and calmly said in a loud and clear voice which was enough for everyone to hear including the receptionist, "Call the General Manager."

After she said that she leisurely walked towards the couch of the lobby and dropped herself. She leaned back and closed her eyes for a moment.

As she did, the guests were in awe as Kim Eunji's ethereal beauty shone brighter even with her eyes closed. Her visual was simply no joke. She was like a still portrait.

The floor manager wanted to protest when she saw Kim Eunji's back but the female receptionist beat her first.

While waiting for the General Manager of the resort to go down, Eunji thought about what she did earlier. While she was inside the mercenary academy, they were trained to flirt with both genders. However, during their mission, she never used that method with anyone. She preferred her presence was not noticed by her prey.

Therefore, this was the first time that she flirted with anyone. Indeed, intimidation with a mix of little flirting would break someone's strong composure.

Though she could feel the sharp gaze that she felt from Master Ling, she paid him no attention to their group at all.

She knew his ego was provoked by her that's why she thought that he would leave but she was wrong.

Instead, Master Ling took a seat directly opposite her.

Master Ling was not only fascinated by her beauty but also he found her interesting. Therefore, he wanted to stay and watch how she would turn the events. Should she fail, he would offer his help once again and he was confident that she won't decline. He had the plan of making her his woman.

Entertainment... People who belonged to the top 1% of the hierarchy always find other people's misfortune entertaining. Especially those who belonged in the levels below them.

He wanted Master Bai to join him and watch the fun together but the latter already left. He thought that he had other meetings to tend to but he didn't know that the latter already made his way into the suite.

Master Ling patiently waited for the General Manager to arrive.

Master Ling was a handsome man. But his visual paled in comparison when he stood beside the group of the most eligible bachelors in China. This group was none other than Nathan Bai's circle.

Now that Nathan Bai was gone, he thought that he now had the chance to charm the woman whose identity was unknown.

Moments later, Kim Eunji heard footsteps coming her way. They were steady and with authority. It must be the General Manager she wished to see.

She slowly opened her eyes and leisurely stood up. She sighed as she looked at the man who was now standing beside the couch. The general manager showed no signs of contempt toward her which was already a good sign.

This meant that he had a much better judgment of the situation therefore it was easier to talk to him rather than the close-minded floor manager.

"Good afternoon Ma'am. It was brought to my attention that you were causing a commotion earlier and were hesitant to leave the premises even if one of our managers told you to do so. Is it true?"

He did not beat around the bush as he confronted her.

Eunji's eyes took a glance towards the manager who humiliated her earlier and her brows quirked up a bit. She then sighed before she spoke. "Yes, it's true that I was hesitant to leave the premises. However, have you been informed why?"

As Eunji said this, the female manager was struck dumbfounded. She forgot the protocol. Because of this, she suddenly felt uneasy especially when their General Manager threw a glance in her direction.

Their interaction was noticed by Kim Eunji. 'Interesting.' Kim Eunji thought.

"Also, they called me a paparazzi just because my camera was hanging on my neck. Is this the culture and the morale of the employees a 7-star resort should have? This low? It doesn't fit the brand that you have been painting in the minds of your customers for the past 5 years at all. I will surely give your QPRC a negative review if I am an influencer. General Manager Lee, I think you should reassess your employees."

Kim Eunji's words were like a big slap to him. He was not happy about it. Therefore he called out the attention of the two guards and the manager.

"In my office now!" Then he turned his attention to Kim Eunji who was now wearing an indifferent expression on her face.

"Miss, may I request for you to come with us? We have to solve this matter immediately."

"GM Lee. As much as I agree with you, I'll decline your invitation. Isn't it impolite to delay me more? The time that I should be spent sleeping in my comfortable bed upstairs is already wasted by this drama. What do you think?"

"So you claimed that you have a reservation here? Why are we not informed about it." GM Lee asked in a surprised tone.

"BINGO! Finally! Finally, you got it right!" Relief was overflowing in her tone.

She then picked up her duffle bag and went to the receptionist.

But an irritating voice rang with maliciousness in them.

"Con. She must be a con artist GM Lee. Don't believe that woman! Guards throw her out! Now!" The female manager was already in denial. She could not believe that the girl they looked down upon could afford a suite in this resort. She would believe it if they were a 5-star resort. But they were not!

"Miss. Will you stop courting death?" Kim Eunji mumbled under her breath.

"Manager Jiang! Don't make the situation even worse." GM Lee reprimanded her.

Master Ling who had been watching the drama could not help but chuckle.

"GM Lee don't worry. This woman is with me. She is just quite rebellious and wanted to prove herself to me that's why I gave her the chance to do so. Convince me that she's capable of making you believe that she booked a room at this resort. Seems like she is successful, therefore the show is over. Should we go now? We still want to enjoy and have fun."

"Is that so?" GM Lee sighed. A misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding. Everything went back to normal as soon as they heard Master Ling's words.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your quality time together. Alright, both of you may go to your suite. I'll let my other manager accompany you, Master Ling. And the management hopes that this will be the last time that Master Ling would play a prank in here."

Master Ling smiled in satisfaction and said, "I promise GM Lee, this will be the last time." He was about to grab Kim Eunji's hand but the latter dodged it.

"Honey, stop being stubborn okay? Behave and let's go!" Of course, Master Ling had to show his authority towards her in front of everyone else.

But Kim Eunji suddenly spoke in a calm tone.

"Indeed. It is a misunderstanding, GM Lee. I'm no man's woman." She then turned her attention to Master Ling as she added, "I never know and haven't met this delusional man in the past. As far as I can remember, today is our first meeting, no? Therefore, how come we're together? If you want to keep your life, don't dare approach me. Your shamelessness stinks. It makes me want to puke."

"Insolence! How dare you slander and threaten Master Ling! It's already an honor that he is interested in you!" The burly man yelled with rage.

Hearing the burly man's remarks, Kim Eunji scoffed.

"If you want to cause a scene, please not here! Master Ling, you may be an honored guest here but please control your people." GM reminded him.

"And miss if you indeed have a booking, can I see your proof? If you can prove yourself, on behalf of QPRC's management, I'll take full responsibility for the trouble that my colleagues caused." GM Lee sincerely said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes as long as you have the documents to prove your claims." He felt the urge to finish this drama quickly. At one glance, he could already tell that she was not someone to mess with. He felt like giving his ignorant subordinates a beating for being so muddle-headed.

"Then..." Kim Eunji's voice trailed as she took her wallet out of her duffle bag. She opened it and took a card from it.

"..."

"GM Lee, would this be enough?" As she revealed the card to everyone...

"!!!"
