Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

Chapter 127: It’s Nothing Personal



Vince was spreading pepper on the barbecue in front of him when he said that. Rebecca, seated next to him, reached out and stopped him saying, “Your throat.” Vince took back his hand.

Maggie smiled and said, “You don’t meet an assistant like Rebecca every day.”

Vince looked up at her. Another person said, “Well, what’s with your throat? I thought you just had head damage, why is your throat affected?”

Arianna was just about to send the grilled meat to her mouth. Hearing that, she glanced at Vince. Vince also took a glance at her with his sharp eyes. Arianna’s hand trembled, and the flesh fell to the ground. She was about to bow and pick it up, but Vince handed her his baked piece in a natural manner.

Maggie laughed, “Maybe brain damage can improve your gentleman’s side.” Vince handed another piece of baked meat to Maggie.

She smiled and whispered, “Thank you.”

Arianna could sympathize with Rebecca, that her affection was totally ignored by Vince. But Rebecca wouldn’t let Arianna have a good time.

Arianna couldn’t find Claire. She heard Claire go to her room to go to sleep, so Arianna rushed back to the room to see her. Arianna’s nature of being an idiot in direction worked again. When Arianna knocked at the door, a young man with only a towel wrapped around his naked body came out, and Arianna saw a girl under the sheet on the bed in the room. Arianna apologized in embarrassment.

Then Arianna was having a hard time telling the exact room Claire was staying in. At the time, Rebecca stumbled and walked over and almost bumped into Arianna. Rebecca lifted her head, her eyes red and watering.

When Arianna came over to find Claire, she saw Rebecca talking to Vince outside. Arianna guessed the situation between Rebecca and Vince. A more sympathetic feeling grew in Arianna’s heart. Previously, the guest rooms were assigned by Rebecca, so Arianna asked Rebecca whether she still remembered Claire’s room number.

Rebecca’s face showed an incredible expression. Rebecca thought for a moment, then pointed to one of the doors, “Should be this one.”

Arianna thanked her and then opened that door. The door was not locked. It was dark in the room. Arianna called Claire several times, and there was no response. She turned on the light and found no one in the room. When she wanted to get out, she found the door had been locked from the outside.

Arianna now understood things went wrong. She went to the door and listened for a while. She speculated on Rebecca’s motives. Perhaps Rebecca wanted to see Arianna yell for help like a clown. So, Arianna stayed quiet until she found someone shut the power of the room from the power hub outside. The room was dark again.

Arianna bit her teeth, stumbled to the window, opened the curtains, and looked outside. She was afraid of the dark. And it looked like everyone knew that.

There was only the moonlight and serenity outside. Most people were downstairs having a good time. Probably no one could hear her.

Arianna took a few deep breaths and thought about getting out of the window. In the distance, there were security guards patrolling. She was worried she should either get injured or caught by the guards if she broke out from the window. She had only Claire’s number on her phone at the time in this foreign country.

Luckily, the moon was bright. Her dark phobia was not going to happen yet. When Arianna was thinking she overrated the character of Rebecca, someone opened the lock of the door and got into the room.

It was Victor Johnson with the smell of alcohol on his body. Victor closed the door and came over to Arianna and said, “Wow, look at who I find out here! What a surprise present.”

“It’s a misunderstanding.” Arianna tried to get rid of him, but Victor grabbed her hand and put it near his mouth. Victor used his beard to stab the back of Arianna’s hand and said, “Don’t be shy, sweetheart.” Panicked and disgusted, Arianna took her hand back with a huge force and said, “Let me go!”

The playboy wouldn’t just let her go. Victor used one hand to take her waist and another to cover her mouth, laughing very happily. Arianna used all her strength and kicked his leg. Victor grunted and loosened his grasp. Arianna immediately broke free and ran toward the door.

Arianna stumbled over something at the door and got caught by Victor again. Victor smirked, “Now you look like you have never been touched by a man. Don’t you think it’s even easier to arouse a man’s interest?” He bowed and was about to kiss her.

Arianna couldn’t tell if he was joking or serious, but she was already too nervous. She would collapse if he touched her again. She touched the thing that had tripped her. It was a glass bottle. She held the bottle in her hand. Then she pondered for a second on how to use the bottle. She then threw the bottle out the window. The bottle smashed the window glass and made a loud noise in the quiet night. While Victor was a little shocked, Arianna hurriedly ran out of the room, leaned on the railings in the corridor, and said, “Step back! You come closer and will jump off the building!” It was a low-voiced but serious warning. Victor didn’t move again.

The people downstairs were having a good time, but the security guards quickly came over. A few moments later, Vince and two other persons came. Vince looked at the situation and smiled at the people next to him, “Victor forgot to open the window before throwing out the bottle again. This time, when he wakes up, he is to put the glass back on his own.” The two followers sensed something wrong and went downstairs.

Vince understated that it was an old habit of Victor when he got drunk and convinced the security guard and let him switch on the power hub again.

Victor became respectful when he saw Vince. Vince just held Arianna steady silently, as if he was afraid that she would faint again in the dark.

When the light was on in the room, Vince asked, “What’s this about, Victor?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I was playing hide and seek with Miss Jenkins, that’s all.”

“In my opinion, Miss Jenkins didn’t want to play the game.” Victor smirked, “Yeah, this lady doesn’t seem to be used to our gameplay.”

Arianna didn’t say anything until Victor went out.

Vince said, “Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For keeping this thing low profiled.”

“Nothing. I was just trying to save my own self-respect.”

“Victor was joking too much, but he just wanted to scare you. They used to do this kind of prank, to swindle people into the room and pretend to be a ghost to scare them. It’s nothing personal.”

“Yes, yes. This is just a traditional game for you guys. And I am the one who is uninformed.”
