朋友的妻子

Chapter 104 Rich Celebrity



His ordinary-looking clothes seemed to be out of place considering this seemingly grand greeting he had just received.

Almost all the hotel staff were wearing fancy uniformed clothes, making him wonder what kind of hotel this was.

For the staff to look all beautiful and handsome. It was clear that this was no ordinary hotel that anyone can have a reservation on, much less get this much staff to greet him personally.

As Lei Zhen was in a daze, the driver got out of the flying car and explained to him.

"Our Miss is not someone that anyone can see, so please don\'t mind this greeting from the hotel staff." The driver said and kindly guided Lei Zhen to meet where Griselda was staying.

Although Lei Zhen wasn\'t unfamiliar with these types of greetings in the past, it was still a bit uncomfortable now thanks to his current living environment.

Thus, he hurriedly followed the driver and pretended to not see the hotel staff whose faces were full of smiles.

The smile could easily turn into a sneer as soon as one encountered their downfall, something he had learned 10 years ago.

Sometime later, the driver guided Lei Zhen to a presidential suite, confirming Lei Zhen\'s thought of Griselda being someone special.

"Miss, I\'ve brought the person you asked over," The driver knocked on the door slightly and said through a video communication that was installed next to the door.

"Bring him in, and you can leave afterward." A female voice resounded from the video communication.

The driver nodded his head, used a card key to open the door, and brought Lei Zhen to the living room.

As Lei Zhen found a seat on the plush sofa, he was admiring the living room design.

The futuristic living room of the presidential suite was a sleek and modern space, filled with high-tech gadgetry and cutting-edge design.

The walls were made of a shimmering metallic material, and the floors were covered in a smooth, glossy surface. There was a holographic coffee table, which displayed a constantly changing series of images and patterns.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ The room was lit by a series of glowing panels, which could be adjusted to create a variety of different lighting effects.

While waiting patiently for Griselda to come out, Lei Zhen began playing with some panels.

\'Sigh, truly the differences between the rich and the poor.\' Lei Zhen thought to himself.

Compared to himself who still lived in some run-down apartment, those who are wealthy are truly living in the so-called futuristic or modern era.

After all, he had just noticed one of the rooms was also equipped with the latest in high-tech amenities, including advanced AI assistants and a wide range of smart home features.

Seeing the high-tech stuff across the room, it made Lei Zhen believe in Griselda\'s words even more regarding that she had information about Magnolia.

About a few minutes later, Griselda came out of the room and smiled at Lei Zhen.

"Sorry, did I make you wait long?" She said teasingly. Her appearance wasn\'t much different than her character in Magnolia, but there was a subtle aura on her that made her seem more mature and charming.

"Not long." Lei Zhen calmly replied.

"If I compare it to the time that you have to wait for me in Magnolia, then this is really considered nothing." He added, making a slight jab at her.

The smile from Griselda turned rigid and she looked like she wanted to twist his arms in anger.

Without saying much, she walked toward another plush sofa and sat down.

"Hmph, so you knew I was stalling on purpose huh." She scoffed.

"I\'ll be brain-dead if I can\'t tell by now, right? Anyway, you had your fun so can we begin with the real topic as to why you brought me here in the first place?" Lei Zhen shrugged his shoulders.

Meanwhile, Griselda was slightly displeased by the nonchalant attitude of Lei Zhen.

"Aren\'t you going to ask where this is and why I live here?" She asked in disbelief.

Normally, people would be fascinated by her living style and expenses.

In her mind, she expected Lei Zhen to be extremely shocked and would start to treat her better, almost as if she was like a queen.

Alas, Lei Zhen seemed to not give a damn about all of these and kept focused on his goal, shocking her deeply.

"You must have seen the interview I did previously with Scarlett and Jeremy, right?" She then asked when Lei Zhen didn\'t respond to her previous question.

To this question, Lei Zhen nodded his head and explained that he saw the interview when taking a train to work. There wasn\'t a need to hide this matter since it wasn\'t any ground-breaking news.

"Because of that interview, I saw your appearance. Therefore, when I first met you in Magnolia, I recognized you right away. It was just that I\'m not sure if someone else was using your appearance as their character or if it\'s the real you."

"I see…"

It was at this moment that Griselda finally realized why Lei Zhen was so adamant about hiding his identity.

Since his appearance was the same as his character in Magnolia, he learned that it was important to hide his identity.

Otherwise, people might recognize him instantly if they knew him in real life, just like how he recognized her from the beginning.

Although understanding his logic, Griselda was still kind of displeased for being played like a fool by him. She was a top ranker in Magnolia and a rich celebrity at that.

When has there ever been someone mistreating her like this?

"Ugh, I\'m a magnanimous person, so I shall forget about the humiliation I\'ve received." Griselda finally said after much pondering.

"Since I have to help you out in Magnolia anyway, then we shall reveal our character status to each other."

Just when Griselda thought she was being generous, she nearly puked in anger when she heard what Lei Zhen said.

"Can I decline that?" He asked, seemingly unwilling to reveal his status.
