How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 163: Business Problem

It’s time to return to the world of reality after going on a romantic date with your husband throughout the holidays. In fact, Harry had prevented Claudia from returning to work, considering that her mental condition was still unstable. However, Claudia still rejected her husband’s proposal because for her, why keep avoiding it even if she ended up having to step foot in her family’s hotel.

Due to the death of her family, the situation at the hotel was quite chaotic because many investors filed protests and still did not believe that Claudia was the sole heir to the hotel. In particular, they are still not used to interacting with each other directly even though Claudia often holds meetings with investors.

The first day back to work at the hotel was enough to give Claudia a headache. There were many things that had to be resolved quickly before the problem got bigger. Moreover, there are several projects that her parents have planned to expand their business.

Even though it was still early in the morning, Claudia felt that her body was tired from going back and forth to take care of documents in her room and her late parents’ study. In the end, she was able to rest after holding a welcoming ceremony for the new hotel staff, who were the household assistants who had been working at her old residence.

"The most tiring morning today." Claudia waved the fan nimbly.

"That’s how the hotel feels when you’re not around, Claudia. In fact, I’m confused about how to solve it. "Your parents are dead, now no one can take care of the hotel apart from you," said Sarah while massaging Claudia’s shoulder.

"But, am I worthy to be the heir of my family?" Claudia exhaled weakly as she placed the fan on the table. "It seems like they still don’t believe me. Early in the morning I got a lot of protests."

"Never listen to them, Claudia! They have never seen how you work like this. Because all this time they always met your parents too, they don’t know what your personality is like."

"If you think about it, actually I’m still not ready to take care of everything. The project plan that my parents left behind, in fact I don’t even know if they will actually carry out the project. Actually, they once told me that they would expand the hotel business in the San Marina area. However, in that area, as I remember, the residents did not allow the construction of hotels."

Sarah propped her chin. "Maybe we can approach the residents in a humane way."

"So, I have to go to them directly?"

"If you go to them and do a lot of good deeds, I’m sure they will believe you. If you start construction suddenly, it will give the impression that you are driving them away."

Still, Claudia felt her heart was a little fragile because she had received a lot of insults this morning. Usually at times like this she always pours out her heart to her parents. However, now she has no one anymore. It was impossible for her to tell what she experienced to all the members of the Scarlet Community. The only friend she confides in and is a good listener is her husband.

At this very moment, Claudia wanted to contact her husband to pour out her heart. However, she was afraid that it would interfere with her husband’s activities while working at the palace. Her breathing became increasingly sluggish, her gaze looked blank as she stared at the name ’Harry Harperwood’ on the cellphone screen.

"I miss my husband."

"If you miss him, you should just call him."

"But, I’m worried it will disturb him at work."

"At least one minute is enough, Claudia. I think you really need him now. If you don’t contact him, you’ll be like this all day."

In the end, Claudia had the courage to press on and make a phone call to her beloved husband. It wasn’t until ten seconds before the phone call was connected that her hands trembled slightly.

"Are you busy, Harry?" Claudia asked nervously.

"I’m taking care of the weapons supply report."

"Okay, then I’ll contact you when you’re not busy."

"What’s wrong with your voice?"

Claudia laughed awkwardly while scratching her head. "My voice is normal."

"No. This is not your real voice. Did something happen to you?"

Claudia didn’t expect her husband to be so sensitive even though they didn’t meet in person. It was true that her current mood was a little bad, making her almost cry. She remembered that when she was in the real world, she also received a lot of insults in the morning because her superiors saw her as unable to handle a large project. In fact, many employees also avoided her because they didn’t want to get involved in this problem even though it wasn’t his fault.

"I think I suddenly caught a cold because yesterday I wore a dress that was too thin."

"You can’t lie to me, Claudia. I know there are a lot of problems you have to face at the office."

Claudia gave up covering up the problem now. A minute had passed, since her husband didn’t mind them communicating now, she wanted to use the golden opportunity.

"Actually, I have to solve a lot of hotel problems. However, I received a lot of criticism because many people didn’t believe me. They still don’t believe that I am the only heir to the hotel even though legally my parents’ will is proof of that."

"Claudia, although they don’t trust you, I really trust you and rely on you."

Just listening to the sweet words spoken by her husband managed to make a happy smile appear on her face again. "You really aren’t lying, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you! I’ve trusted you since the beginning. Therefore, I am willing to be your husband."

"Harry..."

"Later at lunch time, you can talk as much as you like. I’ll pick you up later." freēnovelkiss.com

"Thank you, Harry."

"I’m going to hang up now because I have a meeting in five minutes."

"Okay, I won’t bother you."

When the phone call ended, Claudia smiled again even though they had interacted for less than five minutes. It’s true what Sarah said, at least they should interact, even if only for a minute. Because the medicine for eliminating negative thoughts is hearing her husband’s voice.

"It turns out my husband is really sweet even though he looks cold."

"Claudia, actually there was something I wanted to tell you earlier. No, not even since your parents died."
