The Silent Wife

Chapter 144

“Room service.”

Gloria and Victor were pushing a janitor cart that belonged to the hotel.

A man in a black attire opened the door and moved aside. “Come in.”

She was slightly shocked as she quickly placed her hand on Victor.

The man was one of Justin’s bodyguards and they both had met him before. If it hadn’t been for the masks, the bodyguard would have immediately recognized them.

If there weren’t any accidents, Rachel should be right here in this suite.

The door to the master bedroom was kept shut.

Rachel sat on the carpet as she helplessly hugged her knees to her chest. Her tears had run dry a long time

ago.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when someone knocked on the door.

Knock knock

The door opened from the other side and the bodyguard entered with a meal tray in hand. “Mrs. Burton, you haven’t eaten anything in two days. The hotel has prepared some soup for you, so please at least have some. If something happens to you, President Burton will hold us responsible.”

Rachel flipped the meal tray over as her shoulders trembled.

When she did so, the hot soup scalded the bodyguard’s hand. He took in a sharp breath, but he dared not say anything as he silently cleaned up and left. Once he was out of earshot, he cursed as he walked.

“She’s still not eating?” The other bodyguard outside gave a pitiful look. “You were scalded?”

“Obviously. No matter what they say, I won’t send the food later tonight. You should do the job.”

“She won’t eat even if we send in the food, so let’s just stop taking the food in.”

“If Frankie and President Burton learn about this, they’ll rip us into shreds. We’re simply unlucky to be in this position, so let’s just submit to fate.”
