Chapter 14

“I know the way to the hotel rooms,” Audrey slurred, struggling to free herself from Charles’s grip.

“Ms. Yeomans, don’t worry about it!”

He whispered in Audrey’s car, “Nathan’s final wish for his coming–of–age celebration was to have someone escort you back. Are you thinking of going back on your word?”

Audrey’s vision was blurring, but she clearly saw Charles press the button to go up, not down.

Nathan and Charles had drugged her, so there was no guarantee they hadn’t done the same to Hugo. She suspected that Hugo, similarly drugged, was probably in a room upstairs.

She could fulfill Nathan’s final wish. But why did it have to be with Hugo?

“Alright, enough now. You’re drunk. Let’s go back to your room so you can rest,” Charles said as he pulled Audrey into the elevator. He pressed the button for the 57th floor.

She clutched the key card to the hotel room in her pocket, barely able to stand. The room she had booked was also on the 57th floor.
