She Killed My Ex

Chapter 40 The Beginning of the Hunt

Chapter 40 The Beginning of the Hunt

When the taxi arrived at Royal Club, Caroline got out of the car. She stood in front of the entrance of Royal Club, which looked low-key but luxurious with the exterior construction undergoing on the building.

Caroline didn't get in immediately. She raised her hand and meticulously adjusted her clothes neatly. She tore off the gauze on her forehead, tidied up her bangs, and covered the few stitches on her scar with her bangs.

After everything was done, she straightened her back and tried her best to put up the confidence that she had hidden for three years. Then, Caroline stepped forward without any hesitation and walked into the brightly lit Royal Club.

There was a sapphire blue Ferrari at her back, which stopped at the entrance of the Royal Club. When the car window wound down slowly, a man with a gorgeous face was seen. That was the man who observed the entire conversation between Madison and Caroline in the hospital.

At that moment, the pair of eyes on that beautiful face was shining with excitement and awaiting some rousing hunting scenes..

"Is that Caroline?" His gaze was stopped at the entrance of the Royal Club. After a while, he took out his mobile phone from his suit pocket and dialed a number.

A lazy voice from the other end of the phone asked, "Deloris, is that the most beautiful woman that you have seen?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while. Instead of answering that question, he pondered and asked, "Who has become your prey now?"

On the other end, the man laughed heartily and said, "You know me so well."

"How does she looks like?" Deloris never thought that the person his good friend had an eye on would be Caroline, who he met once before.

Deloris wouldn't have thought that. His friend's taste used to be very different in the past. He wouldn't have thought that he would pick such a hardcore person this time!

"Deloris, this is the most interesting woman I've ever seen. I don't think the three months that I am going to spend in Jusall would be bored."

On the other end of the phone, Deloris was startled. He raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "That's such a high review! Three months? Seriously? The longest hunt that this man ever has so far is only two months."

"A very interesting woman. The most contradictory woman I have ever seen. She was infinitely submissive but yet she was infinitely proud. Have you ever seen anyone who is submissive and proud at the same time? Unless it is the pride that she is born with."

"I'm so curious about who is the person or what is the incident that causes a woman like her to suppress her pride. Deloris, I want to wake her real character up."

Deloris was inexplicably frightened. He had known his best friend for more than ten years, and he had never heard him saying such words. He said, "You can do whatever you want." He still believed in his best friend and that he was rational. He said, "I won't stop you, Cayne. But you have to understand that you shouldn't play with someone's feelings. You need to know the boundary."

That man was Cayne. He smiled without saying a word and cut off the call.

He got out of his car, slammed the door shut, and walked towards Royal Club.

"Why is she here again? Didn't she say that she was not feeling well?"

"Leave her alone. She isn't one of us."

"That's right. I heard that Madison was living with her and they have a lot of conflicts."

"Although there are a lot of conflicts between them, doesn't Madison take care of her every day when she gets sick?"

As soon as Caroline arrived at Royal Club, she heard all kinds of whispers from others along her way until she stepped into the office of the Public Relations Department. However, she was numb to those words.

She wasn't stupid. She knew who was responsible for spreading those words.

It seemed that no one would care about the truth.

So, it didn't matter whether she explained it or not.

Caroline turned a deaf ear to all those pointing, gossiping, and criticism. She pushed the lounge's door open and sat down in a quiet corner.

Those who were around her were whispering and discussing her constantly while looking at her.

Subconsciously, Caroline lowered her head and touched her aching forehead. She just wanted to cover her scar more tightly with her bangs. Of course, she didn't do that for Madison, but for herself. She needed money, a lot of money.

Compared with other members of the Public Relations Department, Caroline was like a clown. But even so, she still sat comfortably in the corner and waited for the rich man who might have a different preference.

"Caroline, come over." The manager of the Public Relations Department stood at the door of the lounge and called Caroline with a blank expression.

Everyone seemed to gather all their attention out of a sudden. They seemed to be gleefully waiting for Caroline to be scolded.

Caroline stood up hesitantly, walked towards the manager of the PR Department, and asked slowly, "Ms. Zachary, what's the matter? I didn't feel well previously and Madison helped me to call in sick."

Ms. Zachary from the PR Department was very impatient with Caroline. She interrupted her impatiently, "Come with me. There is a customer in Room 601 looking for you."

When Ms. Zachary was talking to Caroline, the door wasn't closed. All the people in the lounge behind her looked stunned when they heard it.

"Room 601. Sixth floor. The VIP floor."

"Even though that person is very rich, it doesn't make him get access to the VIP floor. Who the hell is that? I didn't know that someone reserves Room 601 tonight."

"And asking for her? Are you kidding me?"

"Susan, maybe he is an eccentric customer? It may not be a good thing." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

After that person finished speaking, the rest in the lounge showed relief in their eyes, "That's right, we don't want to do that kind of work."

Although with the experience and lessons shown by Gianna and Laurel, the personnel in the PR Department didn't seem to learn from them. Furthermore, what the Big Boss hated was them causing trouble, which they didn't do anything to Caroline.

Initially, those people objected to someone like Caroline, who didn't meet their standards and yet was taken into their department. Besides, Caroline was the bathroom cleaner of Royal Club for half a year before she switched to their department for no apparent reason. Everyone was uncomfortable about it.

Outside of Room 601.

The PR manager raised her chin slightly and told Caroline with a cold expression, "After entering the room, you must understand what you should or shouldn't say, and know what you should or shouldn't do. The customer's needs must be met. Don't offend the customer. Do you hear me?"

"I got it, Ms. Zachary."

Ms. Zachary said with undisguised displeasure on her face, "I don't care who brought you into the PR department. But, once you are in my department, you have to do things according to my requirements. Remember, if you want to stay in my department, don't cause trouble for me. Many people would like to get into my department. If you can't perform, just leave and don't take up the place. No one would save you. Do you get it?"

"Loud and clear, Ms. Zachary. May I know what is the last name of this customer?" Caroline asked hesitantly. She didn't expect that anyone would ask for her unless they knew each other.

She couldn't help but wondered who would be that person besides those people she knew three years ago. She was worried. Her heart twitched and her face turned slightly pale.

"It's not your concern. Don't ask something you shouldn't. Just get in." After Ms. Zachary finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to open the door.

Before Caroline could react, she was pushed into the room by Ms. Zachary.

She staggered while she was being pushed into the room. Before she could stand still, a strong force suddenly pulled her forward. While she was panicking, she could smell the scent of cologne.

There was a magnetic voice lingering next to her ears and said, "You are finally here."
