Chapter 117

It was near 6.00PM when Victoria met Lucas in one of the private rooms. More accurately, he

intentionally came to see her.

He sat alone in a corner of the dim and large private room as the lights were not turned on. In front of

him were the wine glasses that were a mess.

The strong smell of alcohol filled the entire room. It was so strong that Victoria couldn’t help but frown.

After she glanced at the man who was already drunk, she turned around and walked out. She didn’t

want to see him. She would rather change rooms with her colleagues and have someone else come

over.

“Did I say you can leave?” He stumbled as he got up on his feet and pointed at her with a wine bottle.

She lowered her head then. “I entered the wrong room. Someone else will come to serve you later, Mr.

Spritz.”

“You didn’t go into the wrong room. I was the one who told you to come here!” Lucas tossed the wine

bottle on the table and walked over to her with a dazed look on his face. He then reached for the top of

her head, but he took back his hand again swiftly.

He sat back again, and then patted the seat next to him as his voice grew hoarse and strained. “Come.

Sit here,” he slurred.

Instead of moving, she only lifted her chin to look at him and asked, “Do you need something, Mr.

Spritz?”

“Did you not hear me asking you to come sit here?!” His voice suddenly became louder. The whites of

his eyes had already turned red from the amount of alcohol he had consumed.

However, she continued to stand there unmovingly, and only sneered after a long minute. “I will not be

playing along with you if you asked me here just to act like a drunk b*stard, Mr. Spritz.”

She turned around to leave through the door after saying that.

Seeing this, Lucas stood up abruptly and took long strides until he was in front of her before he

slammed the door shut. He then pressed her against the door, his eyes glued to her.

The heavy smell of alcohol on his body enveloped her body in that instant. Victoria tried pushing him

but to no avail. “Have some self-respect, Mr. Spritz.”

“Self-respect?” he growled through clenched teeth. It was as if the words she uttered had fueled his

anger. He held her tight and huffed a mouthful of alcohol-smelling breath on her face. “You were thrown

out naked. Who the hell are you to be talking to me about self-respect?!”

Victoria’s eyes immediately narrowed when she heard his words. Biting her lip, she gave Lucas a hard

shove to push him away from her.

Her wrist had turned blue-black from his strong hold. Frowning, she rolled her wrist around.

Lucas pitifully fell to the ground from her push. He then staggered and stood up, his eyes filled with

disappointment and anger as he glared at her. “Is what they said true? You went and seduced

Christian, didn’t you?”

He slowly stumbled to her and pressed his hands on her shoulders, his voice became even louder than

before. “Answer me!” he demanded.

Victoria hated his interrogatory tone, so she pushed him again. She only gave a brief “yes” after she

stood at a distance from him.

She then looked at him with cold eyes and reminded indifferently, “But it has got nothing to do with you

regardless.”

The Spritz siblings were like dog turd she couldn’t escape from no matter what. She could smell their

foul stench from afar and it was even worse close-up, as they stinked, were sticky, and were, all in all,

disgusting.

In order to not be called a sl*t who was here to temp Lucas in case Scarlett or other members of the

Spritz Family suddenly appeared, Victoria decided to stop this pointless exchange with Lucas.

As she turned around and opened the door to leave, a fair, elegant hand moved faster than she did as

it shut the door close again.

Lucas’ action made her frown. Still, she held back her temper and warned, “Just what are you trying to

—”

He had cut her off by pushing her against the wall before she could finish speaking. Holding her face in

his hands, he panted and kissed her. His light-colored eyes were now filled with lust and anger.

Victoria couldn’t muster the strength to push him away, but as she somehow found his handsome face

disgusting, she tilted her head, and his hot kiss landed on her neck instead.

The moist feeling that felt like a slug had crawled across her skin disgusted her so much that she would

love nothing more than to rinse it off at least 10 times right at this moment.

“Don’t cross the line, Lucas Spritz!” Victoria growled. Even though she had used all her strength to

push him away, she could only keep him at an arm’s length from her. She couldn’t move him away at

all.

He looked down at her then with undisguised desire in his eyes. “Didn’t you seduce Christian just to

worm your way back into the circle again? You can seduce me instead. I can give you all the things he

can give you!”

As Lucas spoke, he kept rubbing her waist with his hands, and he lowered his head to kiss her again.

Victoria’s slap on his face landed quicker than his kiss did. As he went into a daze, she unhesitantly

raised her feet to knee him where his family jewels were.

The pain that felt like there were millions of ants gnawing at him made Lucas squeeze his legs

together. He started sweating bullets from his forehead while he bent over to let the pain pass.

Bang!

Right then, the door to the private room was opened, and Scarlett stormed in the next second. Her

eyes looked like they were about to spit fire when they fell on Victoria’s unkempt top.

“Before you start barking, Miss Palmer,” Victoria brought up before Scarlett opened her mouth. “Please

find out whether it was I who tried to seduce him, or if it was him who wanted to forcibly take advantage

of me.”

Scarlett could already guess what had happened when she saw Lucas’ appearance, but still she

looked at Victoria and accused her. “Is there any need to find out anything? The fact that you seduced

Christian and was thrown out is already hot news in the circle. You must have shifted your target to my

fiancé because your Plan A didn’t work.”

“Miss Palmer, your ability to talk out of your a*s is truly impressive,” Victoria mocked and turned around

to leave.

Scarlett’s face had turned into a tomato when she heard that, but she didn’t refute nor

chasnovelxo.com fast updatee after Victoria. Instead, she only heavily closed the door after Victoria

left.

After that, Victoria massaged her ears that had been abused by the loud sound, and with a frown,

wiped the spot where Lucas had kissed her. She didn’t put down her hand until the first layer of skin

was almost broken.

I have been trying my best to stay away from that circle, so why are they still haunting me one after

another? she thought with pursed lips.

“Victoria?” Charlotte called out from afar. She only raised her eyebrows slightly when she got close to

Victoria. “I still have something to deal with. Please help me bring the soup to the hospital,” she

instructed.

No doubt the only person who could get Charlotte to deliver soup was Christian.

Thinking of that, Victoria pressed her lips into a straight line and uttered with her head lowered, “I am

sorry, Miss Charlotte. I still have a few hours until the end of my shift. It might be better for you to get

someone else to go.”

“I am too lazy for that.” She stuffed the thermos flask into Victoria’s hands and stretched lazily. “You’ll

do.”

The flask wasn’t hot on the outside, but it felt like a hot potato in Victoria’s hand. Her other free palm

that was clenching the hem of her clothes was already drenched in cold sweat. “You don’t need to get

someone else yourself. Shirley doesn’t have a shift today. I will pass her the soup, and—”

“That is too much work.” Charlotte smiled and wiggled her eyebrows. “I am going to Mr. Sharp’s in a bit.

I will tell him that I have booked you before 6.00PM. He won’t say anything to that.”

She proceeded to tidy up Victoria’s clothes and without giving her a chance to refuse, she left while

happily humming an old song.

Charlotte turned around and winked at Victoria after she was far away. “I will be counting on you!”
