Chapter 40: VIP Room
Chapter 40: VIP Room
The taxi drove towards the Royal Club. Grace got out of the taxi and stood in front of the Royal Club International, where even the exterior decoration of the building looked low-key and luxurious.
She didn't rush in. Instead, she lifted her hands and meticulously arranged her clothes to make herself look good and neat, then she tore the gauze from her forehead and tucked her bangs up over the scar that had three or four stitches on it.
Once everything was done, she straightened the spine that had been bent for the past three years as best she could. Without looking away, Grace lifted her feet and walked into the brightly lit Royal International Entertainment Club.
Behind her, a sapphire blue Ferrari stopped in front of the Royal International Entertainment Club. The window slowly rolled down and revealed a face that could be described as gorgeous. This was the strange man who had watched Ruby and Grace talking to each other in the hospital.
At this moment, the pair of rosy eyes on that gorgeous face was flashing with the excitement and bloodlust of hunting!
"Grace?" He kept his eyes fixed on the door of the Royal Club. After a moment, he slowly pulled his cell phone out of his suit pocket and dialed a number.
He asked lazily to the person on the other end of the phone.
“Leon, have you ever seen the most beautiful woman?”
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked in a deep
voice, "Who has become your prey again?"
Then the man laughed out loud, "You are still the one who knows me the best’
"_..What kind of woman is she?” Leon never imagined that his best friend would take a fancy to Grace, whom he had once
met.
It couldn't be Leon's fault because the man had liked women in the past who were very posh. Who would have thought that
this time his tastes would be so particular?
“Leon, that's the most interesting woman I've ever met. I don't think I'll be bored for the next three months in China.”
Leon, who was startled on the other end of the phone, asked with his eyebrows raised, “You think so highly of her?" Three months? It should be noted that the longest hunt this guy had had so far was only two months.
"She's an interesting woman and the most paradoxical woman I've ever met. She's both humble and proud. Have you ever seen anyone who can interpret humble as proud as the proud sun? Unless that pride of her was embedded in her bones.
I'm curious as to who and what could have turned such a woman into what she is. Leon, I want to awaken the real her:
Leon felt somehow frightened. He'd known Cayne for over a decade and had never heard such words from him, "Do what you want.” He still trusted his best friend's sanity, "I won't stop you, Cayne. But you must understand that the human heart cannot be toyed with. Stop where it should stop”
Cayne laughed but didn't say anything and hung up.
He got out of the car, slammed the door, lifted his feet, and walked to the Royal Club.
"Why is she here again? Didn't she say she wasn't feeling well?”
"Leave her alone. We're not on the same page as her:
“Exactly. I heard Ruby lives with her, and there's a lot of conflict between them”
"Even if they have a lot of conflicts, when she's sick, isn't it still Ruby who takes care of her every day?”
Grace had just arrived at the Royal Club and entered the PR department. Along the way, she heard many people whispering
behind her back. Now she was ina state of mind that could be described as numb.
She was not stupid. The reason why these words were spread out and who was responsible for it, she knew it in her heart.
As for the truth, she was afraid that no one would care.
So, did it matter if she explained it or not?
Grace turned a deaf ear to all the gossiping and judging that was going on behind her back. She pushed open the lounge door
and found a quiet corner to sit in.
There was just a constant stream of whispered comments and all sorts of measuring glances.
Grace subconsciously lowered her head and touched the corner of her forehead. It hurt. She could only cover that scar more
tightly with her bangs. Of course, she wasn't doing this for Ruby, but for herself. She needed money, lots and lots of it.
Grace was a clown compared to the rest of the PR department. But even so, she remained seated in the corner, waiting for the rich and powerful with perhaps a different fetish.
"Grace, come out.” The manager of the PR department stood at the door of the restroom and called Grace with a blank expression.
The eyes of everyone around her lit up at once. They were all gloating and waiting for Grace to be scolded.
Grace stood up with hesitation. As she walked towards the PR manager, she asked slowly.
"Manager Xu, what can I do for you? I was not feeling well a while ago, Ruby...” Ruby helped me take a leave of absence.
The manager of the PR department, Manager Xu, was impatient with Grace, and interrupted her impatiently, "Come with me.
There is a guest at 601 who has asked you to come over’
Manager Xu left the door open when he said this, and the people in the lounge behind Grace each looked startled when they heard it.
"601. Sixth floor. VIP floor:
"Yeah. The VIP floor isn't just for the rich. Who the hell is that? I didn't hear anyone booked 601 tonight.”
"And he asked her to come over? Is this a joke?"
"Susan, maybe it’s another kinky customer? This kind of thing isn't necessarily a good thing:
After this woman said that, the people in the lounge each had relief in their eyes, “Yeah. We can't do this kind of work:
Despite the lessons learned from Queena and Luna, the staff in the PR department didn't take warning. What's more, their boss hated it when they caused trouble but they didn't do anything to Grace.
These people had a problem with Grace, who was not up to their standards but joined their department. Besides, Grace had been cleaning the bathroom at the Royal Club for half a year before she joined their department. The fact that a bathroom cleaner joined their department one day for no reason at all made anyone feel uncomfortable.
Outside the 601 Box.
The PR manager looked cold. He raised his chin slightly and said to Grace, "When you go in, you'll understand what to say and what not to say, what to do and what not to do. You have to meet the guest's requests. Don't offend the quest. Do you understand?”
“I got it, Manager Xu"
Manager Xu said with undisguised displeasure in his eyes.
"I don't care who brought you into the PR department, but as long as you're in my department, you have to do things according to my requirements. Remember, if you want to stay in my department, don't get me in trouble. There are plenty of people who try to get into the PR department. If you don't do a good job, get out and don't occupy the position. No one's face is of any use to me. Do you remember that?”
“I got that in mind, Manager Xu. May I ask what this customer's last name is?” Grace asked hesitantly. She really didn't think that anyone would ask her to come over unless it was someone she knew.
If it was someone she knew... Her heart skipped a beat and she blanched. Who else would it be but the ones from three years ago? NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"It's not something you should be concerned about. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Get in.’ After saying that, Manager Xu reached for the door and pulled it open.
Grace didn't have time to react before she was pushed by Manager Xu.
She stumbled and was pushed into the box. She didn't have time to stand still when a sudden force dragged her forward. In her panic, the scent of cologne hit her nose.
A magnetic voice sounded in her ears. The man said, "You've finally come’
