Chapter 37
âIâm almost done removing my makeup. Iâll treat your wounds for you once Iâm done.â Gabrielle
returned to the mirror and took a piece of makeup wipe.
She quickly finished removing her makeup and took the medical kit to treat the wound on Victoriaâs
face.
âI think my back is wounded. Can you please help me clean the wound too? Thanks.â After the wound
on her face was treated, Victoria removed her uniform and turned her back to Gabrielle with only her
bra on.
When Gabrielle saw the new wound on Victoriaâs back, which was as long as a personâs middle finger,
as well as other old wounds that were intertwined with each other, she pitied someone for the first time.
âAre all of these wounds on your back from the time you were in prison?â
Victoria just gave her a small hum of acknowledgment. She didnât want to recall that memory since
those days were like a nightmare for her.
âWhat about this new wound?â Gabrielle was afraid that she would hurt Victoria, so she tried her best to
be soft when treating her wound. Yet, she still saw Victoria twitching slightly from the pain.
She thought that Victoria would shout in pain and ask her to be softer, but she didnât even grunt. On the
contrary, it seemed as though she was⦠used to it.
At this moment, Victoriaâs eyes darkened. âI hurt myself by accident.â
When Gabrielle heard that, she wanted to say that the wound was nothing like an accidental injury, but
as she was about to say that, she changed her words in the end. âVictoria, do you think itâs really
necessary for you to work overtime with that little salary and have people always harassing you here?â
Victoria touched her knees, which were still a little painful, and pressed her lips together without saying
anything.
âPeople were laughing at you when you kneeled for half a day at the entrance of the club, when you
were slapped by Glen Coleman today, and when Mr. Spritz asked you to kneel.â Gabrielleâs voice
became a little softer. âYouâre so capable. Going anywhere else will be better than staying here. Donât
you feel that you have lost your dignity and feel upset about staying here?â
âJust take me as coveting the intoxicating life here.â When her wounds were all treated, Victoria wore
her uniform and rolled up her pants. She then took out some ointment to apply it to her horrible bruises.
Hearing that, Gabrielle pursed her lips and kept the medical kit. âJust donât say it if you donât want to.
Why do you need to lie? Let other people be concerned about you. I donât care anymore!â
Victoria was stunned for a moment and laughed at once when she heard that. âIâll buy you the grilled
fish from your favorite restaurant tomorrow. Donât be mad.â
A person who had known her for eight years said that she was staying in the Delta Club to squeeze
herself back into her previous circle by any means. Yet, a person she had only known for less than a
month felt that it was a lie for her to say that she was coveting the intoxicating life. This world was
always different from what she had imagined.
After Victoria was done washing up and lying in bed, her tears were flowing down without a sound in
the dark.
No one could stand their dignity being trampled on, and this applied to her as well. However, just like
what Janice said, no one could help her unless she pleased Christian and sought his forgiveness.
She really didnât want to and wasnât willing to be a janitor at the Delta Club for the rest of her life.
â¦
Victoria kept thinking about how to seek Christianâs forgiveness, but half a month had already passed
when she last saw him. He came to the club with a few people to talk business with them.
When he passed by her, he didnât even give her a glance and just entered the private room while
surrounded by the crowd.
Seeing that, Victoria held the mop and stood there dazedly for a moment. She suppressed the
bitterness in her heart and put the cleaning tools back into the storeroom before looking for Cameron.
âWhat? You donât want to be a janitor and want your previous job back?â Cameron widened his eyes
and studied Victoria up and down before he said mockingly, âDo you think youâre the boss here? That
you can work at whichever position you want to?â
âNo, thatâs not what I meant. I just want to work in my previous position for one or two hours, and not
change my job.â After hesitating for a moment, Victoria took the jade necklace from her neck and gave
it to Cameron. âItâs from the Renaissance period.â
This jade necklace was her eighteenth birthday present, which her brother spent twenty million buying
at an auction. He was scolded badly by their father for that.
âThe Renaissance period? Why donât you say itâs from the Byzantine era or the Viking Age?â He didnât
believe a janitor could have such a valuable item at all. Yet, when he took the jade necklace and
touched it, his eyes sparkled at once.
Even if this jade necklace was not from the Renaissance period, it was definitely valuable.
Cameron kept touching the necklace and couldnât get his hands off it, but he still didnât agree to
Victoriaâs request. âMiss Charlotte personally asked you to be a janitor. If I simplyâ¦â
âItâs just two hours. She wonât find out.â Victoria pressed her lips together and reached out her right
hand to his front. âNever mind, then. I donât want to put you in a difficult position.â
Seeing her hand, he took a step back with the jade necklace in his hands and smiled sheepishly. âItâs
actually not that difficult. How about this? Iâll give Miss Charlotte a call and ask her about it.â
As he said that, he didnât even give Victoria the chance to say no, and he already took out his phone to
dial Charlotteâs number with one of his hands while his other hand held onto the jade necklace.
At this moment, Victoria frowned and regretted it.
Since Charlotte was under Christian, she wouldnât agree to change her job position without his
agreement. However, judging by Cameronâs face, she could tell that he wouldnât return the jade
necklace to her no matter if there was a deal or not.
âOkay. Understood. Sorry for disturbing you.â Cameron hung up the phone with a smile, but when he
turned around to look at Victoria, he returned to his arrogant, superior attitude. âItâs a deal. I tried very
hard to convince Miss Charlotte to agree to changing your job position.â
âThank you, Cameron.â When standing at the side, Victoria could clearly hear whether he tried hard or
not, but there was no need to expose what she knew as long as it didnât affect her.
But did Charlotte, or should I say Christian, really agree to it so easily?novelxo.com fast update
âThereâs no need to be this formal with me.â Cameron hung the jade necklace on his finger and swayed
it. âSo, this jade necklaceâ¦â
âItâs yours,â she said.
Hearing that, he kept the jade necklace with a delighted smile. He became happier whenever he looked
at it. âAlright, then. Pass your job to Megan and the others before you change your clothes. Go to
Room 5231 after that. Remember to read the room and donât mess with people you shouldnât.â
It was Charlotteâs order for Victoria to enter Room 5231. Although he didnât know why, it was none of
his business, so he didnât ask about it.
When Victoria heard that, her eyes sparkled since Room 5231 was the private room Christian had
entered just now. With that, she didnât need to find other excuses anymore. She left the room after
giving him a small hum of acknowledgment.
After she passed her job to the other janitors, she looked for the shift leader to take a bodycon dress.
She then entered Room 5231 with simple makeup on.
At this moment, Christian looked up and saw that Victoria was not in her loose janitor uniform but a
light purple floral-printed bodycon dress. When she walked, her long legs loomed, making her look
seductive.
When he saw that, he tightened his slender fingers around his wine glass before lifting it to take a sip
as if nothing happened.
âHello,â Victoria greeted them with her head down and walked to Christianâs side under the crowdâs
stares.
The people in the room were surrounding him, but none of them dared sit too close to him. Since there
was enough space for a person to sit beside him, she seated herself right there.
Although she wanted to please Christian, she was still a little afraid of him. The seat wasnât very
spacious, but she didnât dare touch his body, so she moved her body closer to the man on her other
side until their bodies were nearly touching each otherâs.
âDid I ask you to sit?â Christianâs gaze landed on her thigh, which was nearly touching the manâs. He
paused for a moment and found it an eyesore.
