"There's a fire,” Avery said, immediately running outside with Mike.
Other guests on the sfloor also cout of their rooms.
Due to the power outage, the elevator was unavailable, and everyone had to leave through the emergency access.
Fortunately, there was no crowding.
When everyone descended to the first floor in an orderly manner, they smelled a burning smell.
"It's a fire on the first floor." Avery took Mike out of the hotel, and after breathing in the fresh air, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It started in the restaurant we ate in last night." Mike sighed and coughed a few times, "Fortunately, it didn't happen during our
meal last night. That would've been scary!"

Avery said, "If the cause of the fire wasn't arson, the fire safety protocols of the hotel would need to be questioned."
"lI was sleepy at first, but now | am completely awake." Mike said and looked at Avery, "Aren't these the clothes you wore last
night? Didn't you take a bath last night?
Avery blushed. "lI was so sleepy last night; | was planning on getting up early to bathe."
"Should we change to another hotel?" Mike wanted to switch to another hotel to make up for his sleep.
"Our luggage is still inside. Let's go and take out our luggage when the fire is out!" "Okay! Let's have breakfast first!" Mike dragged
her away from the hotel door.
Now there were crowds of watchers and guests who escaped from the hotel at the entrance of the hotel.
It was very crowded.
They found a breakfast shop near the hotel and sat inside.
Avery felt hot and stuffy and was worried about the fire in the hotel, so she had no appetite.
Mike brought her a bowl of porridge and put it in front of her.
"Many people chere for breakfast today, so there's nothing left in the store." Mike was enjoying himself, "We're not the latest
ones; at least we still have smushroom soup. The people who arrive later will have nothing to eat."
Avery responded and lowered her head to drink her soup.
At the next table, someone was chatting about the hotel fire.

"I heard rumors that the hotel wanted to fire an employee in the restaurant, but the employee didn't want to leave. They didn't
arrive at an agreement, so the employee deliberately set fire to the hotel."
"Why would she do such a thing? She could just leave in peace. Maybe it's because she has no place to go if she got fired?"
"That's right! She entered the restaurant due to her looks. She looks pretty, =b*=QNR - had an affair with the chef, so the chef
took her in."
"Why does she have to work in the hotel if she looks pretty? There are so many jobs she could do!"
"That's because she has a criminal record. She was the only one left after the police wiped out her criminal gang."
"Damn! No wonder the hotel fired her! | would believe it if you toldshe was the one who set the hotel on fire!"
When Avery heard this, she jumped up from her chair.
