Chapter 37

“I’m almost done removing my makeup. I’ll treat your wounds for you once I’m done.” Gabriellereturned to the mirror and took a piece of makeup wipe.

She quickly finished removing her makeup and took the medical kit to treat the wound on Victoria’sface.

“I think my back is wounded. Can you please help me clean the wound too? Thanks.” After the woundon her face was treated, Victoria removed her uniform and turned her back to Gabrielle with only herbra on.

When Gabrielle saw the new wound on Victoria’s back, which was as long as a person’s middle finger,as well as other old wounds that were intertwined with each other, she pitied someone for the first time.“Are all of these wounds on your back from the time you were in prison?”

Victoria just gave her a small hum of acknowledgment. She didn’t want to recall that memory sincethose days were like a nightmare for her.

“What about this new wound?” Gabrielle was afraid that she would hurt Victoria, so she tried her best tobe soft when treating her wound. Yet, she still saw Victoria twitching slightly from the pain.

She thought that Victoria would shout in pain and ask her to be softer, but she didn’t even grunt. On thecontrary, it seemed as though she was… used to it.

At this moment, Victoria’s eyes darkened. “I hurt myself by accident.”

When Gabrielle heard that, she wanted to say that the wound was nothing like an accidental injury, butas she was about to say that, she changed her words in the end. “Victoria, do you think it’s really

necessary for you to work overtime with that little salary and have people always harassing you here?”

Victoria touched her knees, which were still a little painful, and pressed her lips together without sayinganything.

“People were laughing at you when you kneeled for half a day at the entrance of the club, when youwere slapped by Glen Coleman today, and when Mr. Spritz asked you to kneel.” Gabrielle’s voicebecame a little softer. “You’re so capable. Going anywhere else will be better than staying here. Don’tyou feel that you have lost your dignity and feel upset about staying here?”

“Just take me as coveting the intoxicating life here.” When her wounds were all treated, Victoria woreher uniform and rolled up her pants. She then took out some ointment to apply it to her horrible bruises.

Hearing that, Gabrielle pursed her lips and kept the medical kit. “Just don’t say it if you don’t want to.Why do you need to lie? Let other people be concerned about you. I don’t care anymore!”

Victoria was stunned for a moment and laughed at once when she heard that. “I’ll buy you the grilledfish from your favorite restaurant tomorrow. Don’t be mad.”

A person who had known her for eight years said that she was staying in the Delta Club to squeezeherself back into her previous circle by any means. Yet, a person she had only known for less than amonth felt that it was a lie for her to say that she was coveting the intoxicating life. This world wasalways different from what she had imagined.

After Victoria was done washing up and lying in bed, her tears were flowing down without a sound inthe dark.

No one could stand their dignity being trampled on, and this applied to her as well. However, just likewhat Janice said, no one could help her unless she pleased Christian and sought his forgiveness.

She really didn’t want to and wasn’t willing to be a janitor at the Delta Club for the rest of her life.

Victoria kept thinking about how to seek Christian’s forgiveness, but half a month had already passedwhen she last saw him. He came to the club with a few people to talk business with them.

When he passed by her, he didn’t even give her a glance and just entered the private room whilesurrounded by the crowd.

Seeing that, Victoria held the mop and stood there dazedly for a moment. She suppressed thebitterness in her heart and put the cleaning tools back into the storeroom before looking for Cameron.

“What? You don’t want to be a janitor and want your previous job back?” Cameron widened his eyesand studied Victoria up and down before he said mockingly, “Do you think you’re the boss here? Thatyou can work at whichever position you want to?”

“No, that’s not what I meant. I just want to work in my previous position for one or two hours, and notchange my job.” After hesitating for a moment, Victoria took the jade necklace from her neck and gaveit to Cameron. “It’s from the Renaissance period.”

This jade necklace was her eighteenth birthday present, which her brother spent twenty million buyingat an auction. He was scolded badly by their father for that.

“The Renaissance period? Why don’t you say it’s from the Byzantine era or the Viking Age?” He didn’tbelieve a janitor could have such a valuable item at all. Yet, when he took the jade necklace andtouched it, his eyes sparkled at once.

Even if this jade necklace was not from the Renaissance period, it was definitely valuable.

Cameron kept touching the necklace and couldn’t get his hands off it, but he still didn’t agree toVictoria’s request. “Miss Charlotte personally asked you to be a janitor. If I simply…”

“It’s just two hours. She won’t replace out.” Victoria pressed her lips together and reached out her righthand to his front. “Never mind, then. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.”

Seeing her hand, he took a step back with the jade necklace in his hands and smiled sheepishly. “It’sactually not that difficult. How about this? I’ll give Miss Charlotte a call and ask her about it.”

As he said that, he didn’t even give Victoria the chance to say no, and he already took out his phone todial Charlotte’s number with one of his hands while his other hand held onto the jade necklace.

At this moment, Victoria frowned and regretted it.

Since Charlotte was under Christian, she wouldn’t agree to change her job position without hisagreement. However, judging by Cameron’s face, she could tell that he wouldn’t return the jadenecklace to her no matter if there was a deal or not.

“Okay. Understood. Sorry for disturbing you.” Cameron hung up the phone with a smile, but when heturned around to look at Victoria, he returned to his arrogant, superior attitude. “It’s a deal. I tried veryhard to convince Miss Charlotte to agree to changing your job position.”

“Thank you, Cameron.” When standing at the side, Victoria could clearly hear whether he tried hard ornot, but there was no need to expose what she knew as long as it didn’t affect her.

But did Charlotte, or should I say Christian, really agree to it so easily?novelxo.com fast update

“There’s no need to be this formal with me.” Cameron hung the jade necklace on his finger and swayedit. “So, this jade necklace…”

“It’s yours,” she said.

Hearing that, he kept the jade necklace with a delighted smile. He became happier whenever he lookedat it. “Alright, then. Pass your job to Megan and the others before you change your clothes. Go toRoom 5231 after that. Remember to read the room and don’t mess with people you shouldn’t.”

It was Charlotte’s order for Victoria to enter Room 5231. Although he didn’t know why, it was none ofhis business, so he didn’t ask about it.

When Victoria heard that, her eyes sparkled since Room 5231 was the private room Christian hadentered just now. With that, she didn’t need to replace other excuses anymore. She left the room aftergiving him a small hum of acknowledgment.

After she passed her job to the other janitors, she looked for the shift leader to take a bodycon dress.She then entered Room 5231 with simple makeup on.

At this moment, Christian looked up and saw that Victoria was not in her loose janitor uniform but alight purple floral-printed bodycon dress. When she walked, her long legs loomed, making her lookseductive.

When he saw that, he tightened his slender fingers around his wine glass before lifting it to take a sipas if nothing happened.

“Hello,” Victoria greeted them with her head down and walked to Christian’s side under the crowd’sstares.

The people in the room were surrounding him, but none of them dared sit too close to him. Since therewas enough space for a person to sit beside him, she seated herself right there.

Although she wanted to please Christian, she was still a little afraid of him. The seat wasn’t veryspacious, but she didn’t dare touch his body, so she moved her body closer to the man on her otherside until their bodies were nearly touching each other’s.

“Did I ask you to sit?” Christian’s gaze landed on her thigh, which was nearly touching the man’s. Hepaused for a moment and found it an eyesore.
