Chapter 278
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness that man didn't succeed.
Otherwise, she didn't know how she would face the rest of her life.
Tears silently fell.
They mixed with the warm stream of water.
She tasted salt at the corner of her lips.
Steam filled the bathroom.
No one could see her vulnerability.
People came and went downstairs.
Their gazes were drawn to the man with exceptional presence.
Adrian Sinclair ignored all the attention.
He only stared at the lit window.
Finally, he suppressed the urge to go upstairs.
He turned and drove away.
Bar lights shimmered.
Julian Garnache mixed drinks behind the counter.
The aroma of alcohol attracted a crowd.
Someone marveled.
The boss's mixing skills are truly legendary.
Another agreed.
It's worth it just to have one drink.
Julian remained expressionless.
He focused on his movements.
Light and shadow outlined his profile.
Adding an air of mystery.
His phone screen suddenly lit up.
A message from an unknown number.
[Need to talk. Meet me outside.]
He frowned at the screen.
No location was shown.
Thinking it was a wrong number, he ignored it.
He handed the finished drink to a customer.
He took a small sip himself.
His skills were slightly off today.
His phone vibrated again.
It was especially noticeable in the dim light.
Someone reminded him to check it.
It was the same number.
He was about to block it.
The new message content made him pause.
He immediately called back.
No one answered.
He gripped his phone tightly.
His expression turned grave.
Someone was threatening to meet him using Anna Ross's safety.
Was it an enemy?
No matter what, he couldn't let her get hurt.
He replied agreeing to meet.
Early the next morning.
An alarm clock woke Anna Ross.
She got up and got ready for work.
She removed the medicated patch in the mirror.
After applying heat and medicine last night.
Her cheek had returned to normal.
As she reached the entryway to change shoes.
Her phone rang.
It was her mother calling.
Vivian Lowell's urgent voice came through immediately.
Anna, come to the hotel quickly.
I have something urgent to discuss.
