✔ The Handsome Hotelier 🏢

Hotelier 29

I hear our door opening and jennie came in, looking very stressed as she went straight towards hyunjin's crib.

"Hi there baby~" she cooed. I put down my pen and turned to her.

"You fought again?" she sighed and carefully lifted hyunjin up on his crib, squishing him

"Don't kill my child please." She giggled and let my baby continue on his sleep, leaving him alone much to my relief. He's been fuzzy lately, his teeth are starting to grow and as much as I find it cute, it hurts him. Big fat tears roll down his cute chubby cheeks that I badly want to bite.

"You seem to fight a lot lately." I frowned.

"I don't know rene. He keeps on getting jealous with mino when there's nothing to be jealous about." She grumbled and slumped down the floor.

"Is there nothing really?" She groaned

"I'm sorry, but the guy did offer you to go with him to Paris for an internship at one of the famous brands." Sure, it could be a friendly gesture but Jennie is the only one he offered it to.

"So? I don't see anything wrong with it. We're friends." She's trying not to shout, careful not to wake hyunjin up.

"Jennie, he only offered you and actually put in a recommendation for you."

"And? Why is everyone talking like I'll jump at the guy just because I'll be away from taehyung for just a bit?"

"It's not like that jen." How do I put it? I took my glasses off and put it on the table.

"Then please enlighten me cause I don't really see it. Ok, let's say mino does have something for me, which I don't really think so. It's not like I'll reciprocate his feelings just because of what? I'll feel like owing him something because he got me the internship? I'm not some weak-ass rene! I may have turned soft lately sure, but I'm not weak like that." She is clearly getting tired from the same argument and I'm getting tired too. I have my own problems to face.

"I get your point and I get his point. Whatever. You two talk it out, I have a baby to take care of, a company to take over, and arranged marriage I need to sabotage." I exasperatedly said, rubbing my temples.

"Your parents are still pushing that?" She sympathetically looked at me

"They said they'll only feel at ease if they marry me to someone they know that'll accept me and hyunjin. And by them, it's just really mom. Dad's her pushover." She chuckled and stood up to leave.

"Just call me if you need anything ok?" I smiled and nodded.

I thought if I could show my parents that I can raise hyunjin myself, they would reconsider playing cupid but they saw me struggle so they were persistent and I gave them my word I'll do what they want when they accepted hyunjin.

I've been contemplating to call Jin and consider Jisoo's crazy plan about bargaining with him but when I did find the courage to call, his secretary said he was with his girlfriend. I cried and I don't know why. Is it because I was too late and I have to marry someone I don't even know? Or it's because I denied hyunjin ti be known by his father?

"Should I send him a letter?" J asked hyunjin who didn't even stir a bit. I sighed and leaned back on my chair. I opened my eyes and scoffed at the word yes on the ceiling.

My laptop dinged and I quickly went over to my emails. I was able to find a good employer online as a part-time job and all I need to do was set appointments for him, book his flights and hotels and he is spoiling hyunjin to saying he has a son and the things he sends me are secondhand because his kid outgrew them and some of it did look like secondhand but it was well kept. Especially for clothes.

Mr. Keosnij Mik. I had a hard time pronouncing his name so I call him Mr. Mik instead. I think his name is dutch. I never saw him nor talked to him over the phone. Our only means of contact is just really by email. He always comes to new york but he's either on the other end of the state or I'm not available to meet. He's extremely generous with giving tips too.

I told him what he sends me for my son is more than enough but he insists knowing I'm a single mom and I can take all the helo I can get which I'm thankful for. He also does not ask any personal questions, unlike the ones I tried applying at. He says whatever personal issues I have as long as it doesn't affect what I'm paid to do, he was alright with it.

I don't ask personal questions too cause duh. I just assumed he's a senior citizen based on the way he speaks, probably retired and rich.

For hyunjin's first birthday, he gave me a gift check worth a thousand dollars. I was so shocked but accepted it cause it was rude to give it back so I sent him photos from the party I threw for hyunjin instead and in return, he sent me a photo of him and his wife that confirmed me of his old age.

I stared at their photo and smiled. I was envious. It's amazing to be able and find someone you can grow old with and love for as long as eternity. I hope to still be able to find one for myself someday but that's just wishful thinking.

It's hard enough to find someone sincere when you're single and available these days, let alone when you're single with a child.

I shook away the lonely thoughts and put my glasses on to continue with my work.
