The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 127

“Huh? Oh, did you say you wanted to apply for time off for Gabrielle? Okay, I’ve made a note on that.” Mr. Sharp replied, “Since you’re the one who applied for her, I’ll hold you accountable if anything happens to her.”

He’s an overly cautious man! Victoria glanced at him while thinking to herself. Subsequently, she replied, “Sure.”

She turned around and walked out of the office. Just as she shut the door behind her, she could distinctly hear Daisy’s voice from inside before she headed back to her dormitory.

It was very normal for the female staff in the club to be in a physical relationship with the manager, so Victoria did not think too much about the situation. She went back to her dorm and freshened up briefly as she prepared to do some self-pampering by applying a facial mask. At that moment, Gabrielle called to say that she would not be back tonight, so it was not necessary to wait up for her; Daisy stayed out the entire night too.

Since Victoria was on night shift, she slept throughout the morning until she was woken up by a nightmare. She placed her phone on the charging dock and switched on the phone to check the time. It’s 10.30AM… and I have eight missed calls from Teresa.

“What’s up, Teresa?” Victoria returned her calls.

The anxiety was evident in Teresa’s voice as she exclaimed, “I called you up eight times, but your phone was switched off, so I thought that something bad had happened to you! I nearly barged into Delta Club just to look for you!”

“No, my phone died because the battery ran out.” Victoria rubbed her throbbing head.

“I’m glad that everything is fine.” A worried note persisted in Teresa’s voice. “It’s nothing urgent, but I called to find out how things are going for you. Vincent and I are worried… After that episode the other day, we’re worried that Christian would retaliate.”

That day was precisely the night that she attempted to seduce Christian and ended up being kicked out by him.

She tightened her grip on her phone and remained silent for a moment before responding, “Everything’s fine. You guys shouldn’t worry about me.”

She continued self-deprecatingly, “I’ve been remanded in prison for two years and nothing bad has happened to me. Surely, it’s way more comfortable in Delta than I was in prison.”

As soon as Teresa heard that, her anxiety levels heightened. “Tori…”
