Chapter 10 Money Is More Dependable Than Anything Else

Victoria was hospitalized for two days. As soon as she saw the bill, she decided to discharge from thehospital even though she still had a fever. Even though her salary at Delta Club was decent, afterdeducting her basic expenses, she wouldn’t be left with much. She still had to save that money foremergencies.

She returned to the staff dormitory and changed her clothes. However, she was still dizzy from beinglightheaded, so she clung to the locker next to her for support. Suddenly, she heard the sound offootsteps. Seconds later, she felt a rough push, and everything around her began to spin. Pain shotthrough Victoria’s body when her lower back was slammed against the locker. She couldn’t help butmutter a grunt.

Her roommate, Daisy Torres, uttered a loud, piercing tone from behind her. “Victoria, what do you thinka murderer like you is trying to do with my locker? Are you going to try to mess with it while we’regone?”

“I” A moment passed before Victoria looked up at Daisy, who bore a look of disgust on her face. Then,Victoria realized that since the incident that day was blown out of proportion, everyone at the club musthave known about her imprisonment.

The embarrassment she had anticipated overtook her. She averted her eyes and spoke softly, “I wasfeeling a bit lightheaded, so I leaned on it. Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything.”

“Who knows? If I continue to live with a murderer like you, I will probably pass away one day withouteven realizing it.”

Meanwhile, Gabrielle, who had arrived late, noticed that Victoria had her hand clutched on her lowerback and that her face was getting pale. She hastily approached Victoria to support her. “Daisy, what

are you doing? Are you okay, Victoria?”

Victoria shook her head as her face grew increasingly pale. “I’m fine….”

Gabrielle observed Victoria’s pale and red face. She instinctively extended her hand and lightly touchedVictoria’s forehead. “Whoa! You have a fever and are burning up, so why are you leaving the hospital?Why did you not stay longer in the hospital?” novelxo.com fast update

“It’s just a cold and nothing to worry about…”

“Tsk, stop acting.” Daisy clicked her tongue. Then, she checked her locker and violently slammed thedoor before she stormed out of the room. “I’ll ask the supervisor about changing dormitories. It is sodisgusting to live with people like you.”

Gabrielle glared at Daisy as she walked out the door, her eyes reddening in rage. “Who does she thinkshe is? She is no better than any of us, as she also works at this club. Don’t bother about her, Victoria.”

Victoria was stunned for a moment when she saw Gabrielle, who was enraged by the injustice shownto her. “Thank you, Gabrielle,” she uttered with a heart filled with gratitude.

Thank you for showing me that the world is not as bad as it seems

Soon after, there was a knock at the door. Gabrielle went to answer the door and was slightly surprisedto see the person who had knocked.

“Huh? What brings you here, Miss Charlotte?”

Charlotte merely hummed and did not respond to Gabrielle. Her almond-shaped eyes landed onVictoria as she sat on the bed and scrutinized her.

“You, come with me.”

It had been two years since Victoria and Charlotte first met. Since the media gossip about Christianinvolved the female owner of the Delta Club, Victoria went to great lengths to obtain a membershipcard to investigate. However, she only saw Charlotte from a distance back then and did not see herparticularly clearly. When Victoria was sent to the Delta Club two weeks ago, the assistant managermade the necessary arrangements on her behalf, and Charlotte did not show up.

“Your roommate was making a scene in the manager’s office, demanding to be moved to a differentdormitory.” Charlotte raised an eyebrow. “It appears as though you are also aware of it. Do you haveanything to say?”

“No, it’s because of me. I’m willing to move out of the staff dormitory.”

“At least you’re good at taking responsibility for your actions.” Charlotte curled her red lips as shelooked at her. There are a lot of people working at Delta Club, and if everyone started causing internalconflict like you did, the club wouldn’t be able to operate. How about I transfer you to the cleaningdepartment, where there will be less friction between you and the other employees. What do youthink?”
