Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 729

When Christine approached the front desk to check-in, the receptionist informed her that Gregory had booked the entire floor.

Without missing a beat, they handed her the keycard to another room.

A twitch of irritation crossed her face as she internally cursed Gregory, labeling him a cunning old fox.

It was clear he was orchestrating some drama between her and Dailey, and yet, he hadn't breathed a word about it.

Christine regretted getting involved in this charade.

The only silver lining was slapping him twice.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around, "Mr. Clarkson, what are you doing haunting the halls at this hour?"
