Chapter 4 Affair in the Stairwell
Caroline had been working in the Royal Club for three years.
When the night came, this extremely gorgeous metropolis was shining with bright lights.
Caroline had just cleaned up the vomit of a drunken lady. Although she moved slowly, she worked very efficiently. She lit the incense again and put it in a corner.
The mop in her hand swept across the toilet cubicles one by one and moved to the last cubicle. It was the cubicle where she kept her cleaning tools and she would also have a rest here during her free time at work.
Everything was in good order and well-arranged.
The waitress who led her here had long gone, but Caroline didn't care about it at all. She put the mop and bucket in order and sat down in the cubicle, lost in her thoughts.
"Caroline, it's all instructed by Mr. Shawn."
"Caroline, you're nothing now. The family background you've been proud of, your captivating appearance, and your outstanding educational background are all gone. You're only a criminal now!"
"Caroline, be obedient and do what we ask you to do. Don't try to fight against us. Mr. Shawn has commanded us to 'take good care of' you."
"Caroline, you're only a convict, so what's the point for you to keep two kidneys? Donating one can not only save a life but also atone for your sin of killing an innocent person."
"Caroline, just give up. Don't struggle anymore."
Their voices were like a curse and their faces were so twisted and hideous that Caroline couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard she tried.
"Caroline, come out, go to the VIP Room 606 on the sixth floor." The door of the cubicle was suddenly pulled open from outside. The woman urged Caroline with a frown, "Hurry up. Don't hang about. Even the top female model in our club does not put on airs like you."
Caroline was very taciturn at usual times and would obediently do what they asked her to do. Even if she was bullied, she would never talk back. This was a known secret in the club, and anyone who was in a bad mood could go to Caroline to "alleviate" their bad mood.
"It's the hostess's affair." Caroline was only telling the truth, but it sounded rebellious to the waitress and the latter's expression immediately turned cold. She crossed her arms before her chest and said, "The guest vomited. How could you ask Laurel to do such a disgusting thing?"
Laurel couldn't do such a disgusting thing, but Caroline could. The waitress didn't care if her words would hurt Caroline.
As expected, Caroline didn't retort to her. She only murmured "okay". Her dull reaction made the waitress despise her even more.
Caroline lowered her eyes and followed the waitress into the elevator, but the next moment, she was suddenly pushed out of the elevator. Caroline was confused. The waitress glanced at her with disgust and said, "What are you doing? Go up by climbing the stairs. It's not that high, only 6 floors. You can take this chance." The waitress glanced at Caroline disdainfully and continued, "To lose your weight."
Indeed, Caroline was not fat at all. On the contrary, she was peculiarly thin. However, she would wear layers of clothes when she worked here, which made her look bulky and cumbersome.
Apparently, the waitress was going hard with Caroline. Any other who encountered this would argue with her. However, the one she bullied was Caroline, and the waitress was sure that the latter wouldn't quarrel with her.
As expected, Caroline went to the stairs obediently. When the doors of the elevator were closed, the waitress curled up her lips in disdain. "What a useless woman!" She despised Caroline in her heart.
The dark staircase was so quiet that only Caroline's footsteps could be heard.
This was a safe passage and the escape stairs. Generally, they would not use it because they would usually take the elevator up and down. The light here was dim. Except for serving as the escape stairs if necessary, it had another use adultery.
Caroline walked slowly, climbing up the stairs step by step. When she reached the fifth and a half story, she felt a bit tired. Hence, she stopped on the landing for a rest. But suddenly, she heard a woman's coquettish moan. Caroline's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and found that in a corner, a man was pressing a woman against the handrail and was kissing her flirtatiously and lovingly.
From Caroline's point of view, she could see the woman's back and half of the man's face.
Caroline lamented her unluckiness that she really caught an affair here. When she was about to leave this place, the man, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her evilly.
Caroline's heart thumped wildly. She stared at the man without even blinking her eyes. The man also noticed her line of sight. He held the woman's head even tighter and kissed her more
passionately. On the half of his face that Caroline could see, his dark eyes looked brighter than a star. He was looking at her teasingly while kissing that woman.
Caroline's heart skipped a beat. She bowed her head and turned around, preparing to go downstairs.
"Stop!" The man's voice sounded behind Caroline. Caroline got nervous. She didn't want to cause any trouble. However, she had no idea what this powerful, rich man would do next.
Thinking of this, she turned around, bowed respectfully, and said, "Good evening, sir. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I apologize." While speaking, Caroline pointed at the door leading to the sixth floor and said, "I'm a cleaner who is called to Room 606 to clean up. It's a coincidence. I didn't mean to disturb you. Sir, please forgive me."
The man wasn't startled by her husky voice at all. Instead, he asked as if he had heard something new and interesting, "Are you a cleaner? You look very young." He looked Caroline up and down with his charming eyes and asked, "Are you going to Room 606?" When Caroline was about to answer, he waved his hand at her and said, "Come and follow me. I'll take you there."
Caroline was surprised and looked at the man in confusion. She still walked after him after a while of hesitation.
Caroline knew the woman who kissed the man just now. She was a new model and her stage name was Gianna. Seeing the man walking into the door, Gianna followed behind.
The man suddenly stopped and said to Gianna, "I said I will take her. You're not included. Don't follow me."
Gianna played cute to him coquettishly, "Mr. Tucker, you don't pity me..." Before she finished the words, a check suddenly appeared before her. Antonio Tucker asked her with a smile, "Can you
leave now?"
Gianna's eyes lit up and even her sobbing tone disappeared. She took the check from him and thanked him joyfully.
Caroline could see clearly that although Antonio was with a smile when he handed the check to Gianna, his smile was a sarcastic one. Antonio seemed to notice Caroline's sight. He raised his eyelids, fixed his glamorous eyes on her, and asked, "What? Are you into me?"
"What?"
Antonio looked muscularly strong. He approached Caroline without her knowing and the latter looked even shorter when standing next to Antonio.
Antonio narrowed his charming eyes. When he looked down, he saw her head that only reached his chest. He suddenly bent down and whispered into her ear, "Are you really into me? Me or my money?"
Caroline felt a hot breath landing on her ear and she immediately blushed. Even her ear was red. She quickly took a step back out of instinct. However, she was too hurried and flustered that she even forgot that her legs had been injured. She stumbled and lost her balance. She was prepared for the possibility to fall.
But her waist was suddenly held by a big hand. He saved her timely.
