The Queen's Back

Chapter 202

After entering the room next door, Mona heaved a sigh of relief, thinking, 'The entire room is pitch dark. Fortunately, there's no one in this room. Otherwise, that would've been awkward.'

She rested for a while. Once her body was not so weak anymore, she went out of the room, wanting to get the spare gown in the car to change into. The clothes she was wearing were unpresentable. Perhaps everyone was attracted by the prostitution trade in the room next door. There was no a single person in the long corridor.

Just like that, Mona easily arrived at the floor where the ball was held and left the hotel.

As soon as Mona walked out, she saw Maxwell getting out of the car in a hurry. Haley and Nigel were also with him.

Their eyes met. Mona could clearly see the worry in Maxwell's eyes.

"Mona," Maxwell called out as he unbuttoned his suit jacket and strode toward Mona.

Nigel cleverly turned his gaze away, afraid that he would see something he shouldn't. If that happened, he would be in trouble.

Then, both of them spoke at the same time.

"Maxwell, how come you are here?" Mona asked.

"Mona, are you hurt?" Maxwell asked.

Maxwell draped his suit jacket over Mona's shoulders, gently caressed her flushed cheeks with his big palm, and pulled her into his embrace.

He thought, 'Thank goodness Mona's okay. I don't know what I would've done otherwise.'

Mona shook her head in Maxwell's arms and brought her focus back to his question earlier. "I'm fine. How come you are here in Noretin?" She thought, 'And he got here so fast.'

Maxwell said, "Haley told me you were missing. I was very worried that something had happened to you."
