The manager saw that Selena was injured, and that got him on edge. He quickly sent his men to get the medical kit and offered, "The hotel has a doctor working here and can treat minor injuries. I'll send the good doctor over immediately. For now, please allow me to take you to your room."
"Hurry, " instructed Zayn as he carried Selena toward the elevator.
"Yes, sir. Understood, " replied the manager. He rushed over quickly to the elevator and led Zayn and his bodyguards to the room.
Four bodyguards were following close by. They had just entered the elevator when they heard a bang from a floor below. Everyone instantly became alert.
"Go check it out, " instructed Zayn.
"Understood, " replied the men. Two bodyguards exited the elevator and walked down the stairs to inspect the issues.
Zayn carried Selena out of the elevator. Only then did he realize that the manager had taken him to the room he used to stay in with Carla. He paused and frowned before requesting, "Get me another room."
"Every other room is occupied. We deliberately kept this room vacant because you used to stay here a lot, and we didn't dare to rent it out, " replied the manager fearfully, "It'll take us some time before we can get you another room. Ms. Benday is bleeding a lot now. How about we tend to her injuries before switching rooms?"
Zayn turned to Selena, who was trembling in his arms. He had no choice but to carry her in.
At that moment, Benard had forcefully dragged Shelley to the ground floor and was forcing her to get into the car.
"What the f_ck?" growled Shelley angrily, "What the hell did that mute drug you lot with? Can you not see that she is a fake? She might look harmless, but on the inside, she is evil."
"Enough. Please leave."
Benard didn't want to waste his time on her. All he wanted was to head back as soon as possible because Jombo's condition was a little troublesome. Zayn had reassigned most bodyguards to the hospital and left some at home to take care of the kids. Hence, the number of men they had with them was limited.
"Just you wait. When that b_tch cons you lot and reveals her true colors, you'll learn that I am the nice one, " complained Shelley unhappily.
"Do you hear yourself now?" laughed Benard, "How can someone who went after their own sibling be a nice person?"
"What is that supposed to mean? When did I go after her?" asked Shelley in astonishment.
"Alright, you know what? This is your family business and has nothing to do with me, " replied Benard. He didn't want to waste his breath on her, so he opened the door to the car and gestured for her to get in. After that, he added, "If you insist on staying here, I will have no choice but to call your father."
Shelley harrumphed and glared over before getting into the car unwillingly.
Unfortunately, the car she was in had just left the building when another vehicle toppled it…
Benard's eyes bulged in surprise. He was taken aback for a moment before he quickly got his phone out and made a call.
Inside the presidential suite on the top floor.
The hotel's medical staff rushed over quickly to help Selena tend to her injuries.
They had to sew her up a little. Half of her face was tainted with blood.
Zayn stood at the side. Guilt was welling up in him as he watched. He usually had quick reflexes, but his reaction was a little slow, and he didn't protect Selena well. Maybe it's because I had too much to drink…
I am a man. Even if she is not my lover, I should've kept her safe when she's around me…
"All done, " said the medical staff, who was quick to treat Selena's injuries, pack up, and leave with his head down.
"Mr. Giblo, I will be waiting outside. Please call me anytime if you ever need anything, " said the manager before he left as well.
"Rest up. I'll have my people take you to the hospital later, " said Zayn as he handed her a wet towel.
Selena cleaned her face with the towel before she signed, "I need to use the washroom."
After that, she went into the washroom.
Zayn sat on the sofa and opened a bottle of water. Perhaps it was because he had too much to drink, but he kept feeling parched. He downed an entire bottle of water before he leaned against the sofa and waited for Selena.
When he carried Selena over, her blood tainted his clothes, so he tossed his coat aside.
After that, he continued drinking his water.
Perhaps the alcohol was getting to him, but he felt hotter and unbuttoned his shirt.
