Unwanted Guests

At this, even Ming Guang and Wei Yan turned to look at Jingwei in confusion. Surely their boss can't be so cheapskate to have one room with one bed for three of them! Was he booting them to the floor?

"Yes, I want to spend my night with these two gentlemen. Kindly give us a room with utmost privacy." Jingwei said authoritatively, flashing his credit card. He wanted his words to imply exactly what the receptionist thought.

He began to drum his hands on the counter, but he stopped, afraid of what he'd touch. His fingers felt sticky and he hurriedly wiped them on his pants with a frown. Did no one clean the counter? 

"I see…I'll get a room for you Sirs. How many nights?" The receptionist asked, shoulders slumping with barely concealed disappointment. 

Jingwei paused and considered. "A week." Surely Xue Ning's family wouldn't be so heartless to make him stay here longer than he had to!
