Chapter 27

Charlotte replied with a smile and took out a medical kit to treat Victoria’s wound. At the same time, she asked casually, “Do you want me to prepare an outfit for Victoria?”

“That won’t be necessary.” Christian walked to the side of the table and threw the cigarette, which still had half of it left, into the ashtray.

Meanwhile, Victoria felt a little pain when the alcohol came into contact with her wound. Cold sweat formed on her forehead, but she just grinded her teeth without making a sound. However, she was feeling very unsettled in her mind.

Why did Charlotte ask whether he wanted her to prepare an outfit for her? Does she want me to drink with the customers?

“We’re done.” Charlotte kept the medical kit and raised her head to look at Victoria. As soon as she looked at her, she clicked her tongue. “This scar on your head… It’s such a waste.”

“Thank you, Miss Charlotte. I should leave now.” When Victoria heard what Charlotte said just now, she became even more unsettled. She stood up with her pale face, wanting to go outside.

At this moment, Christian stopped her from the back. “Did I ask you to leave?”

“Is there anything else?” she turned around and asked.

However, he didn’t say anything and simply walked past her, going outside of the room. When he saw that she was not following him, his actions came to a halt as he said with a frown, “Are you not coming?”

Hearing that, Victoria clenched the corners of her shirt and dragged her heavy legs, promptly following him from behind.

The sun was setting, pulling his shadow into a very long shape that overlapped with hers. Even this made her feel so much pressure that she nearly couldn’t breathe.

“Mr. Thatcher.” The driver was already waiting beside the Bentley. After Christian entered the car, the driver closed the car door.

Meanwhile, Victoria walked to the other side of the vehicle. Just as her right leg was about to step into the car, she heard him say, “Bring something to cover the seat. Don’t dirty my car.”

At once, her body froze a little as she retracted her foot silently. Right then, she only felt that standing in the fall wind while dressed in such a thin uniform made her chilly from within.
