Everyone in the Grandé Hotel are in a mixture of panic and excitement while running around the lobby and in the top floor.

The facilities are being cleaned and fixed up in the shortest period of time as possible.

The people who are unaware for what is about to happen kept on frowning while watching the chaos inside the hotel they used to see peaceful than what they are currently witnessing.

One of the guests who are being bothered with this scenes finally stepped up in behalf of the curious people checked in the hotel.

"Excuse me." An English woman finally approached a staff.

The staff almost choke her heart out by the sudden approach.

"Kyah!"

"Oh! I am so sorry. What can I do for you?" The staff asked while maintaining her lost composure.

Dalawang bagay ang nasa isipan ng tauhan na ito matapos marinig ang katanungan ng guest ng hotel. Una ay ang pagkainis at ang ikalawa ay ang panunuya. Inis dahil sa s'ya ay naistorbo nito mula sa kaniyang dapat ay tapos ng trabaho. Panunuya dahil sa pagiging ignorante nito sa napakalaking kaganapan na magaganap sa lugar na iyon.

Lahat ng mga tauhan ng hotel ay pare-pareho ang nasa isipan pero sa halip na magsalita pa, pinili na lamang nila na itikom ang bibig.

"Uhm." Sa hindi malamang dahila'y tila ba kinutuban na ang guest na iyon. Kutob na mayroong mga importanteng tao ang dadating na siyang katotohanan naman. Ngunit ang pagkakakilanlan ng mga ito ay hindi pa rin malinaw sa kahit na sinuman kahit maging sa mga staffs ng nasabing establisyimento.

Walang pasabing iniwan ng guest ang staff. Bumalik ito sa kaniyang pwesto na siya namang pagyukod at paglakad palayo ng staff.

Hindi magkamayaw ang patuloy na pagkilos ng mga staffs na naging dahilan para lalong mangamba ang mga guests na walang kaalam-alam sa mga nangyayari.

Hindi rin nagtagal ay sunud-sunod na dumating na animo'y parada ang mga mamahaling itim na sasakyan. Sa kalagitnaan ng mga iyon ay isang kulay pulang sasakyan na mayroong kilala at mamahaling brand na nakalagay sa kaniyang unahan.

Tila delubyong nagsidatingan sa entrada ang mga staffs ng hotel. Nakaayos ang mga damit, sapatos, mukha at magjng ang kanilang mga buhok. Naglinyahan din ang mga lalaking nakaitim na nagsisilbing security ng bisita na nasa pulang sasakyan.

When the red car stopped, the staffs feels giddy and anxious as they patiently waiting for the man inside to come out. They are all curious as to who is their distinguished guest to receive an urgent call from their higher ups. They are also how that man look like. They are also wondering if this man have a company or none.

In the man inside the car's perspective, these people are hungry mad scientists who are looking forward in exaggerated way in the incoming test subject. And with that, he can't help but to shiver.

After a few minutes, the door opened and a man in an off shoulder black turtleneck with gray cargo pants stepped out. The muscles cannot be hidden from his outfit that makes the ladies and non-ladies inside of the hotel almost screamed their souls out of their bodies while looking at it hungrily.

His sexy features screams out his standing among the men these people knows. He is a complete god of beauty in everyone's eyes.

The manager who is in her middle 40s cleared her throat and stepped in to welcome the guest.

"Good day, our distinguished guest. I am Luca Kanzaki, the manager of the Grandé Hotel. Please welcome and relax at your stay here." The old manager said.

"I am looking forward to it, Kanzaki-san." The man replied in his baritone voice.

Luca's legs started to wobble after hearing her name being called.

"M-may I ask your name, our distinguished guest?" She asked politely.

The man smiled and then introduced himself. "Apollo Kendrick Cross Barron. Just call me, Apollo." Luca gasped along with the other higher ups after hearing his name.

When Apollo didn't received even a single response from the shocked staffs of the hotel, he just shrugged his shoulders and proceeded with his securities who knows the room he was about to use while staying and meeting with the Park couple.

"Who is he?" A newly hired staff asked one of Luca's subordinate.

"You don't know him?" She asked unbelievably.

"I don't know him that's why I am asking, right?" The newly hired staff retorted.

Luca's subordinate sighed and shook her head with disappointment in her face.

"Apollo Kendrick Barron is a well-known bachelor not because he is one of the Cross Enterprise heirs but also because he is always the featured escort of the actress and his twin sister Artemis Kelsey. He is a police officer that other people intentionally doing bad deeds just to take a glimpse of his face. And among the Cross bachelors, he is one of the still single and sought after man in the society." She said.

"What is so good with the Cross Enterprise heirs?" The newly hired staff asked back.

The staffs the heard it gasped. They turned to her and asked.

"Where on earth are you living? Don't you know how great they are?" A male staff asked.

"Uhmm."

"Clovis Cross, a military personnel with a Captain rank is now leading the whole operation of the Cross Enterprise all over the world. Phoenix Cross who is a well-known IRCP race car driver is managing the Technology franchise of it in Spain. Raphael Cross, Phoenix's brother is a brain doctor who is in charge at the medical field of the Cross Enterprise. Cedrick, Apollo and Artemis' older brother is managing the engineering department along with the construction firm of Frederick Reyes. Apollo is in charge with the security like Clovis. Artemis in aeronautical management in most of the airlines all over the world that is also being managed by Frederick's younger brother Leonard. And so on. They are well-known that's why we are so surprised that you don't know anything." The male staff said.

The other staffs looked at him with awe with the knowledge he have about the popular clan.

"Well, they are known with those but they are still have their own expertise that makes them shine more even without the Cross Enterprise stuck in their names. Aside with their beauty and brains, they are also have different personalities that makes them unique among themselves." Luca added.

"Then, why are you like this by his presence? What's with it to our hotel?" The newly hired staff asked innocently.

The others face-palmed with the question.

"Grandé Hotel is one of the establishment owned by the Cross Enterprise, my dear." Luca replied with a sigh.

The newly hired staff named Cindy is stuck on the ground she is standing. Her mouth gapped open as she realized how vast Apollo's world is and how ignorant she is.

She thought that, 'the spouses of those god-like people are so lucky to have them.'

But no one knows that those god-like people she is referring is the one who are thankful to have their beloveds in their lives.

Well, that may not be the case in Apollo's whose heart is crushed to pieces.
