Brooklyn, luxury hotel front desk, little Ji Xinshui stood on tiptoe, clutching the counter edge with a worried face, looking at the inside service attendant:
"Excuse me, did Mr. Douglas still not return yesterday?"
The service attendant inside nodded:
"We are worried about Mr. Douglas too, we don't know what's happened to him... ever since the day he took a taxi and left, until now, it's been half a month, and he hasn't returned."
"Mr. Douglas is very generous, he prepaid his room for many days, so even though his room fee has long expired, we are still keeping his room, waiting for his return."
"We are troubled by the current situation, unsure whether we should report it to the police, but... another thought, maybe Mr. Douglas has an urgent matter to deal with, so let's keep things as they are and not cause him extra trouble."
Ji Xinshui sighed, slumped from the counter, and walked out of the hotel lobby, returning to the road.
