You loooked around the walls of the hotel and noticed the aesthetically pleasing night bar full of people who seems unnatural. Not unnaturally ugly but, there just something beneath those you in them. Noticing your uneasiness while looking at the people, Xiao called you out..

"Oh yeah?", you gave your full attention to him not caring about the weird chills you recieve.

"About the offer, I'll talk to you about it in my room." Xiao started walking leaving you startled. 'His... room?.. Is this guy, planning something on me? or... ahhh my thoughts are getting dirty.' You thought as you bit your lip before following Xiao.

You got startled when you suddenly bumped someone. You looked up and saw a man with grey skin, dark eyebags, and bloody nose. His eyes were so dull that it looked lifeless. No. You looked down his stomach and saw a knife piercing his skin. He is lifeless.

You yelped and sweat formed through your body. The temperature suddenly became cold and you were shivering in fear. You stepped back struggling while the man spoke. "Hi.", he said. Your breath almost left your whole body and you felt chills that makes your tremble. You looked at Xiao's disappearing figure before looking back at the man. Then you decided, to run like a crazy maniac while screaming, almost stumbling, as you reached Xiao.

"I- I- X- Xiao, I saw a g-g-g-ghost. He- sjkejrhcfbfrgjhvgn." You struggled to say as you held firmly into his arms. Xiao just shrugged at you without giving any care while he continued walking to his office. "He was really scary. Geez, the though of seeing him makes me shiver, but seriously, he's scary."

The both of you continued your way through Xiao's office while you were ranting on how terrified you were from the ghost. "Like, seriously Xiao. How could you run a hotel when there's a ghost? I mean wouldn't your customers get scared if they see them?"

"You were a Hotel Manager at Mondstadt right?"

"Yeah, at Goth Grand. It's cool there by the way. Anyways, as I was saying this ghost really said 'Hi' to me!"

"So, about my offer I'll tell you about it now."

"Sure. But, seriously Xiao. You can't run a hotel of ghosts! It'll terrify your customers!"

Xiao's head was getting heat up by you, for you kept on blabbering about this ghost. He leaned back on his luxury antique swivel office chair. He looked at your ranting figure before shaking his head and rubbing his forehead with his right hand.

"This hotel is a hotel of ghosts! Damnit!" He lost his cool and there you froze on your spot. You faced him with your trembling form. Your hands became sweaty, and you cannot move from your spot. No, it's not because of Xiao losing his cool, but it's because of knowing that the hotel is full of ghost.

"S- So... It really is a ghost..." You lightly mumbled with your mouth being left open from shock. you sat down by the velvet luxury antique couch near Xiao's table with your legs shaking.

Xiao noticed the fear from the girl and he walked towards her. "I gave you the ability to see ghosts.", he started while walking. Your eyes follow his walking figure while asking why. He stopped in front of you and leaned by your face.

"You will be the next hotel manager. You can't run away now."

His deep voice gave you more chills to your spine. Chiller than before. It sounded hot and sensual, but your mind focused on one thing. 'Why did he want you to work for him?'

"Why... me?"

You looked up at Xiao who straighthed his form and sat by the velvet loveseat sofa on your near right. "Your father left a dept for you to pay." He leaned back and crossed his legs while his two arms sat by the chaise.
