After sleeping for two days, I decided to try working as a waiter in a hotel in town.

This job was simple and wouldn’t attract much attention.

The boss interviewed me. He saw that I looked good, and let me start that day.

I had never worked a job before. On my first day, I didn’t expect to face discrimination in such a simple job.

“Hey, Grayson, go to the front. The manager is looking for you,” someone said, giving me a dirty look.

When I went over, the manager was sweating profusely.

Seeing me, he waved me over. “You’re just in time. We have a difficult guest. No one else wants to serve her. It’s up to you. Don’t offend this lady. She’s a rich client.”

I had no choice but to push the door open and ask her what she needed.

The girl on the other side stared at me for a long time.

“Why do you look familiar?”

“You must be mistaken. How could I be someone you know? Miss, what do you need?”

“Is your last name Miller?” She stood up and walked around me, looking me up and down in my uniform.

“I think you are Grayson, right? You were with the Turner family in Evolle City. I once saw you from afar at a banquet with my parents. You were with Miss Turner.”

“You must be mistaken. I’m a local here and have never been to Evolle City,” I said, startled that someone recognized me, but I tried to brush it off.

“Impossible. Grayson was raised in the Turner family. Someone from here couldn’t have such a demeanor.”

“Miss, the manager is calling me. If you don’t need anything else, I’ll take my leave.”

She waved me off, letting me go without any trouble.

Once outside, I went straight to find the guy who tricked me into going there.

“What’s your deal? We’re colleagues. Why did you trick me?”

“You obviously look like a rich kid experiencing society. Why are you pretending and taking our jobs? How much is the boss paying you?”

I couldn’t be bothered to answer and turned to the manager to resign.

Although I didn’t want to, I couldn’t take the risk. If Isla found me, all my efforts would be wasted.

After hiding for a few days, I realized no one was looking for me.

I completely relaxed and decided to go to a nearby city to find work.

I had learned many things at the Turner residence, and Isla was happy to teach me various skills.

I could play golf, ski, race cars, and even drive a speedboat.

In the town, I couldn’t use these skills.

In the city, there were many more opportunities.

I found a job at the largest ski resort in the area and also worked as the manager.

The boss, seeing that I was handsome, was happy to let me accompany the wealthy young ladies.

One day, a group of wealthy young ladies came to the ski resort for a trip. During the day, I was responsible for teaching them to ski.

These girls were indeed eye-catching at the ski resort. It was clear they were from a city. During breaks, many guys approached them for their phone numbers.

“Being young is great.”

“You talk as if you’re old,” said the most striking girl among them. Her long hair was tied up neatly, and she exuded an extraordinary demeanor. Her professional gear easily set her apart from the amateurs renting equipment at the ski resort.

She clearly came from a wealthy family, so I kept a respectful distance.

That evening, the boss personally hosted a banquet and insisted I accompany them, along with a few other handsome guys from the hotel.

Unlike those with ulterior motives, I reluctantly wore my plainest clothes and sat at the end of the banquet table.

During the banquet, the boss urged the guys to propose toasts, and everyone was enthusiastic.

After all, this was a chance to meet various big shots. These girls were obviously wealthy young ladies, young and beautiful. What guy wouldn’t be interested?

One guy even sang a song, and the young ladies applauded and cheered.

When it was my turn to propose a toast, I stood up and said, “Sorry, I don’t drink. I’ll toast you all with water instead.”

The wealthy young ladies, clearly troublemakers, immediately objected when they saw I wasn’t drinking.

“What are you pretending for?” one said, coming over to pull me.

During the scuffle, my collar was pulled down.

“That’s enough,” said the girl who had spoken to me during the day, coming over to shield me and separate the others.

She was clearly their leader, and they immediately backed off.

“Miss Carter likes this type? Don’t worry, we won’t compete.”

“Hey, look at what’s on the back of his neck.”

I suddenly remembered the tattoo on the back of my neck and quickly pulled my collar to cover it.

They all looked surprised when they saw it. The woman leading them, Gianna Carter, frowned.

“Miss Carter, that golden tattoo; isn’t it the one I know about?”

Isla was great in many ways, but she had peculiar tastes. She insisted on tattooing a golden pattern on the back of my neck. I always thought it was a mark of the Turner family’s servant.

This had upset me for a long time, and I usually kept my collar pulled up to cover it. It had accidentally been exposed during the scuffle.

“Are you the person Isla has been searching for?” Gianna asked.

“No, I don’t know the person you’re talking about,” I instinctively denied.

“I heard that kid was raised in the Turner residence since childhood, very mysterious. Running into him here, maybe he’s been abandoned. Why not come with us? He’s handsome.”

Gianna immediately stopped them.

“Gianna Carter, you’re not interested in this kid, are you? Why stop us?”

“I brought you out, so I don’t want you getting into trouble. This golden mark from the Turner family isn’t given to just anyone. Everyone knows this guy isn’t an ordinary person to Isla. Don’t do anything stupid.”

Gianna Carter, I didn’t expect the heir of the Carter family to appear here.

The group found it boring and quickly ended the banquet.

The manager, nodding and bowing, sent the young ladies off but didn’t forget to glare at me.

I walked up to Gianna.

“Thank you, Miss Carter, for helping me out. Please keep this a secret, although there may not be much to keep secret.”

Gianna nodded, looking into the distance and sighed.

“You’re hiding here? Do you need my help?”

“No, thank you. I’m doing fine.” Gianna seemed to think I had misunderstood her. She wasn’t offering money but asking if I’d be in trouble if found.

I thought the Turner family had long given up on me.

A few days later, the young ladies returned to Evolle City, and I remained unbothered. I was completely at ease.

The ski resort owner didn’t care about status or background.

He seemed to think I had offended some rich kids and made things difficult for me daily.

One day, the boss announced that a big shot from Evolle City had booked the entire resort for the next day, so it would be temporarily closed.

I felt a bit uneasy and quickly took leave from the owner, deciding to hide at home.

When I woke up in the morning, I had a foreboding feeling, and my intuition to pack up and stay in the town for a few days grew stronger.

Before I could finish packing, the boss called, asking me to come back and deal with a guest.

I thought, "If it’s a blessing, it’s not a curse; if it’s a curse, it can’t be avoided." So I went.

At the hotel, the boss hurried me to a suite. Seeing the bodyguards at the door, I felt like crying.

I pretended to turn casually, but before I could start running, I was grabbed and taken into the suite.

Seeing my teary expression, the boss thought I had made a mistake and was about to disassociate himself from me but was dragged out before he could speak.

The person across from me turned around.

I hadn’t seen her in two years, and she was still as beautiful as ever.

She exuded an aura of unapproachability, silent and clearly unhappy.

Her face, which rarely smiled, was cold at that moment.

I shivered as I greeted her, “Hello, Miss Turner.”
