Chapter 261 Will You Break up With Me

With a “boom“, the phone seemed to have fallen to the ground, and all the voices were indistinct and very distant.

Imogen frowned and said, “Erik, where are you?”

A rustling sound came, but no one answered for a long time.

“Erik?”

Erik’s voice sounded broken, panicked, and incoherent. “Imogen… I… I don’t know either, I…”

His voice was pale and weak, even trembling and choked.

There was a faint sound of a woman crying in the background.

Imogen had some idea of what happened to Erik.

She said calmly, “Erik, you are a man. Don’t panic in an emergency. Just calm down.

“Now get dressed and look at the sign next to the intercom phone on the bedside. It has the room number on it, and tell me.”

After a few seconds, Erik said, “0305.”

“OK, I’ll come over right now, calm down and think about what happened.”

The room built by the company team was on the fourth floor, and the guests at 0305 were not company employees.

It was worth mentioning that the room the company arranged for Erik was exactly 0405, and it was very likely that Erik went to the wrong room when he was drunk.

Imogen rushed to 0305 and knocked on the door.

After waiting for about two minutes, the door opened from the inside.

Erik’s clothes were disheveled, and his face was haggard. His eyes lit up when he saw Imogen as if he saw a savior.

But then he thought of something, and the light in his eyes quickly shattered.

“Imogen…” He said softly and helplessly.

Imogen patted him on the shoulder. “It’s okay, let’s go in and talk.”

She knew that Erik was worried that she would break

up with him.

But she hadn’t gotten an answer from Blake from him yet, so how could she break up with him? Imogen walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

The room was fairly tidy. Only the bedside was messy, and clothes were thrown all over the floor. The woman was curled up in the corner of the bed, burying her head in her knees and sobbing. The quilt was covered to her chest, revealing her white shoulders and arms, which bore traces of kisses.

“Miss, calm down first. Something has happened, so we have to find a way to solve it first. First, do you need to call the police?”

Erik’s expression changed slightly, and he clenched his fists nervously.

Last night, he was drunk and really didn’t know anything….

The woman suddenly raised her head from her knees, showing a face full of tears. “Don’t call the police.”

Imogen was taken aback when he saw her. “Miss Wade?”

Ann wiped her tears with her hand and said with choked sobs, “You guys can leave. Erik helped me. Just take last night as the repayment of kindness. I won’t call the police, so just pretend that nothing happened. You can go now.”

Imogen wanted to ask something else, so she opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t ask.

“Well, you should rest first and calm down. If you need anything, please contact me.” Imogen left her contact information and said to Erik, “Take your things, and let’s go

“Um.”

Erik’s mind was in a mess now, and he could only follow Imogen’s thoughts.

back first.”

He simply arranged his clothes, took his coat, and followed Imogen out, eager to explain, “Imogen, believe me… I don’t know. I really don’t know… how could this happen… I don’t even know how I got back last night…”

“Let’s go back to the room first.”

“Um…”

break up

with me?”

Erik hesitated to speak and looked at her cautiously. “Imogen, will you

Imogen’s answer was ambiguous. “Erik, no one is perfect. I won’t deny you just because of one thing, but I’ll hold back on you, too.”

“I see…”

When they arrived at Erik’s room, he took out the room key card from his pocket, opened the door, and entered.

There was no one inside.

On the bed of Erik’s roommate, the sheets were smooth, and the quilt was neatly placed on the bedside as if he had not returned all night.

Was that why no one noticed Erik didn’t return all night?

Imogen sat down on the sofa and looked up at Erik.

His face was tense. His hands were at a loss, holding the hem of his clothes, fidgeting. “Imogen, you really have to trust me…”

“Don’t worry. Sit down first and try to recall what happened last night,” Imogen said.

Erik sat down opposite Imogen, frowning, trying to recall what happened last night. “I drank too much yesterday, and I don’t know why I came back… Everyone was toasting, and I also had a few drinks. The alcohol was unexpectedly strong…”

“When was your last memory?”

Erik closed his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache. “I can’t remember clearly, and it seems my colleagues toasted me…”

Imogen asked, “Did you know in advance that Ann was at 0305?”

Erik immediately shook his head like a rattle and said anxiously, “I don’t know! Imogen, I really don’t know. Believe me, she met some gangsters that day, so I helped her, and she fainted. I just took her to the hotel first. That was it…”

Imogen lowered her eyes in thought.

So this seemed too coincidental, right?

Erik was drunk and went to the wrong floor and entered Ann’s room.

“I’m going to check the surveillance footage.” Imogen said, “Miss Wade said we can just pretend that nothing happened, but you should be prepared in case she goes back on her word.”

“I know.” Erik rested his elbows on his knees, put his hands helplessly in his hair, and looked at Imogen pitifully like an abandoned puppy. “Imogen, you won’t leave me, right?”

He did not forget that it was Troy’s affair that led to the breakdown of their marriage. Imogen must have had a shadow over this matter.

Imogen was silent for a few seconds and said, “Erik, I can’t make a guarantee now. I’ll wait until the surveillance is checked, and after I ask your colleagues.”

Based on her understanding of Erik, he would not do such a thing when he was awake.

If he was drunk but happened to go to Ann’s room, and she was also drunk at night, didn’t know it, and didn’t lock the door, it would be very harsh to meet all these conditions.

There must be something else going on.

“OK…”

Erik felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he also knew that Imogen didn’t break up with him right away, and it was already forgiving.

“Take care of yourself, and I’ll go check the surveillance footage.” Imogen stood up.

“Would you like me to go with you?”

“No need.”

Imogen got up and went to the monitoring room, communicated with the staff, and said she would call the monitoring on the second and third floors of the main building.

The staff said apologetically, “I’m sorry, the monitoring in the main building area failed yesterday, and it’s being repaired.”

“Is that true?” Imogen asked in surprise.

“Yes, of course it’s true.”

The staff showed the computer.

“Okay, thank you.” Imogen left the monitoring room, rubbing her forehead.

The monitoring failed and was being repaired. Another coincidence.

She felt more and more strange about this.

Imogen called Nicolas.

The ring rang again and again without anyone answering until it automatically hung up.

She dialed again, and the call was connected.

Nicolas must have just woken up. He was angry when he got up. His voice was hoarse, and his tone was impatient. “What’s the matter?”

“Nicolas, did you betray me in front of Troy?”

Nicolas paused, cleared his throat, and immediately softened his tone. “Imogen, I’m helpless too. You know Troy’s temper…”

“Did you drink a lot last night?”

“They got excited and insisted on toasting, and I had no choice but to drink with them,” Nicolas said, pulling on his collar and accidentally touching the wound on the back of his neck, which the

little wild cat scratched.

“How much did Erik drink last night? He told me he didn’t drink much, but I didn’t believe him.” “Him? He’s not telling lies. He didn’t drink much. Someone tried to get him drunk, but I stopped him.”
