The Wife In Disguise

“Mr. Johnson, you’re here.”

Ivan Gill, the general manager of the hotel, had a respectful look on his face.

Louis gave a slight nod and glanced at Grace who was following behind him.

“This is Grace. She studied hotel management in college. Is the position of our housekeeping manager still vacant? Let her fill in first.”

Hearing this, a group of executives all nodded their heads and said yes.

They had seen the news long ago and knew that this woman might be the next Mrs. Johnson.

They should lick her boots.

“I’ll be grateful for your guidance in the future.” Grace smiled and shook hands with several.

“You’re welcome.” Several people had a respectful face.

Louis finished his instructions and sat down with the documents to listen to several executives report on their work.

Grace stood by obediently and listened.

“Mr. Johnson, in general, the hotel is operating normally. There is only one thing that I am about to report to you.”

Ivan waited for the others to finish reporting first, then he would make the final report.

“Say it.”

“Two days ago, Philip Bailey, the head of Rydon Food, secretly bribed the manager of our hotel’s purchasing department, and delivered pastries of poor quality, which caused dissatisfaction among many regular guests. Now the two are outside, you see …”

Louis looked through the information and settled on the top of one of the pages.

Their hotel was positioned for the upscale, so the service provided must be excellent, whether it was in the housekeeping department or any other departments.

He also knew that there would inevitably be kickbacks in management.

He can choose to turn a blind eye, but only if he can guarantee quality.

“The manager of the purchasing department will be dismissed, and Rydon Food’s cooperation with us is terminated and a new food partner will be selected.”

Louis was concise and definitive.

“Yes.”

Ivan responded, and after a pause, he said, “But Mr. Johnson, Rydon Food is an old brand, and the quality of the pastries they usually deliver is also considered high-grade. Now if the contract is terminated immediately, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find a supplier of the same quality as theirs for a while.”

Although they had a back kitchen, the pastry supply had always been outsourced.

Trying to find one that was similar in size to Rydon Food as soon as possible was a bit difficult at the moment.

Louis’ dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his long fingers tapped on the table.

To serve pastries?

A small store suddenly flashed in his mind.

“Ever heard of Tasty Interlude Bakery? I’m told the online reviews are pretty good.”

“Tasty Interlude Bakery? I’ve heard of it, and the public feedback is that their pastries taste pretty good, but isn’t the scale a bit small?”

Ivan asked hesitantly.

“Small size is not a problem. Good quality is the point.”

Louis said, “Let’s make this one a key partner to talk to.”

“Yes.” Ivan responded.

“Is there anything else?”

“One more thing …”

Ivan was still reporting on his work.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Grace stood by, listening to the conversation between the two, her eyes twinkling.

They were breaking their partnership with Rydon Food?

But Philip was her uncle-in-law …

“Is there any more? If not, let’s leave it at that.”

When Ivan finished his report, Louis got up and prepared to go out for a tour.

“Louis, then I’ll stay and start working today.”

Grace said in a rush.

Louis gave her a look, then left in stride.

Grace smiled and followed him out.

Outside, Philip was told by Ivan to break off the partnership, and at once pleaded bitterly.

Ivan didn’t bother with him and went after Louis.

Philip slapped his head with a look of dismay.

“Philip.”

Grace saw that no one was there and called out softly.

Philip froze and jerked back.

“You are, Grace?”

“It’s me. I’m Grace.”
