Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO
Chapter 547 - 547: It was important to have him in her favor.

Zenith's brows knitted in a frown when she saw that the person who appeared wasn't Ryan but a lady server.

"Ma'am, are you still using this room?" she asked politely, her gaze darting around, scanning the empty room.

"We are done," Zenith replied, grabbing her bag to leave. "You can clean, if you want."

The server smiled before nodding. She was about to press the call button to ask someone to come and clean when Zenith halted in front of her.

Turning to look back at her, she asked, "Oh yes, by the way, did you see my boss, Mr. Ryan Foster, leaving this room?"

Even if Zenith had missed seeing Ryan, she was sure the lady server would have seen. After all, all this while, she had been standing just outside the room.

The lady server paused for a moment before nodding, "Yes, ma'am. Earlier, I saw him leaving."

"Leaving?" Zenith's frown deepened.

However, the woman in uniform nodded. "Yes, ma'am. He was looking drunk. After you left the room earlier, he also went out, and then he didn't return." She then turned and gestured toward one direction and continued, "He had walked down this corridor. This doesn't lead to the exit of our hotel. But since I have moved away, I might have missed him leaving."

Zenith understood. Giving a small dry smile, she nodded and reciprocated to her in equal politeness. "Thank you."

With that, she walked down the same direction the server had directed.

There was an array of private rooms. Checking a few of them, she tried looking for Ryan but couldn't find him. And in the end, she reached the end of the corridor where there were restrooms.

"Ma'am, are you looking for Mr. Foster?" a hotel staff who was just passing by asked, and Zenith looked at him expectantly.

"Yes. Have you seen him?"

The waiter's gaze darted to look at the gents' restroom as he nodded. "Yes, he is inside. I brought him here."

Zenith finally sighed in relief, nodding, "Thank you."

"It's fine, ma'am. I had earlier seen you entering with him, so I was able to guess," he said out of courtesy and then left.

Zenith watched the sign of the gents' restroom and waited outside. Not long after, she saw a shadow reappearing on the floor. When she gazed up, it was Ryan.

"Sir, are you alright? Shall I take you to the hospital?" she asked, already reaching to hold him.

Ryan's gaze was clearer than before, but due to the effect of alcohol in his system, he was still finding it difficult to walk. "No, there … is no need to get me to the hospital. I am fine. Take me to the room."

Zenith nodded before helping him into the elevator. But just before the door of the elevator dinged close, a hand appeared, obstructing it from closing.

When she looked up, an expression of displeasure crossed over Zenith's face.

Delyth Ember.

She didn't mean to look impolite, but Delyth's appearance at the moment was like this only meant trouble.

"Where are you taking him?" Delyth asked, looking at Zenith from head to toe. Her gaze was not pleasing.

But Zenith didn't mind it. She simply gave her a small, polite smile and replied, "Sir isn't feeling well. So, I am taking him to the room upstairs to rest." Her tone was devoid of any malice, but it still somehow made Delyth's face twist in ugliness.

"To the room?" she echoed as if she couldn't believe it. "Have you lost all your shame that now, you don't even feel ashamed of confessing it on my face?"

Zenith was taken aback. She didn't understand what she said wrong, but when she saw Delyth's expression, she recapped her words and found the hints that could have led her to be misunderstood.

"Ms. Ember, you probably got something wrong," she quickly tried to explain. "I didn't mean it like that. I simply meant that I am taking Sir to the room to rest. He had asked me to book it for him, and since he is not in a state to walk properly, I am just giving him a helping hand."

"Helping hand! Heh!" Delyth scoffed. "Do you think you can fool me? Your intentions are all clearly written on your face. I can read it like the back of my hand."

Zenith felt wronged. She was not sure what intentions Delyth could see on her face, but just the thought of it was making her skin crawl. She had no ill intentions, but getting questioned like this was only making her look back. And she wasn't liking it even a bit.

Her gaze turned to look at Ryan, ready to ask him to explain. But when she saw his eyes closed, she realized, he might not have even heard it. And even if he did, he was not in a state to argue.

Sighing, she tried to do her best. Taking a deep breath, she chose to ignore the insult Delyth had thrown her way.

Turning to look, she said, "Ms. Ember, if you aren't stepping in, please step back. You are getting us delayed."

"You …"

Zenith didn't give her the chance to speak. Keeping her one arm secured around Ryan, she leaned forward to gently push Delyth out before pressing the button of the elevator.

Delyth's pupils dilated, and seeing the door closing, she quickly rushed in to step inside.

Just as she did, the door closed behind her.

Her eyes sent daggers at Zenith, but Zenith didn't acknowledge it. She ignored her as if she hadn't seen her climbing in.

"You …" Delyth didn't like her attitude. "Did you forget who I am?"

Zenith stared at her for a moment before shaking her head. "I probably didn't, but it seems, Ms. Ember did forget that I am Mr. Foster's secretary. And what I am doing right now is a part of my job."

"You …"

Before she could speak anything, she paused seeing Ryan stir.

"You … what are you doing here?" The displeasure was quite imminent in his voice.

Delyth halted at his tone, her fingers clenching. The thing for which she was here, it was important that Ryan stayed in her favor. She can't have him standing against her.
