Chapter 41


    Chapter 41


    Catelyn practiced the gentlest smile she could muster in front of the mirror before she headed toward


    Room 6806.


    “Hello, Mister Reed, I’m Catelyn rk,” she announced herself with a soft, innocent


    tone.


    “Come in,” the husky voice of a man responded.


    Catelyn’s heart leaped at the fact that she finally got the right room and pushed the door open into the


    room.


    Unlike Room 6808, the decorations inside this room were slightly less exquisite, though it was still more


    ssy than normal rooms.


    The moment she entered the room, she was overwhelmed by the heavy scent of cigarettes and liquor,


    but before her lips could curl into a smile, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the handsome man


    sitting on the leather couch obviously made in a foreign country.


    It was Jamie!


    The first thought that came to Catelyn’s mind was that she had entered the wrong room…again.


    “I’m sorry, I had the wrong room. My bad.” She bowed and turned to leave.


    Jamie slowly set down the wine ss in his hand and called out to her before she could leave. “I thought


    you’re here looking for John Reed. Leaving so soon?”


    Catelyn paused and lowered her gaze to hide the doubt in her eyes with hershes.” How do you know


    about John Reed?”


    “Sit. I need to talk to you.” Jamie poured another ss and set it down beside him, hinting at Catelyn to


    sit next to him.

    She hesitated for a moment beforeplying, but she did not touch the ss of wine.


    Jamie’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.


    “I had my men look into you. You dropped out of Sapphire University with no graduation certificate, so


    you’re pretty much considered a high-school graduate. You’ve been a waitress and a dish-washer, and


    you’ve also stayed under a bridge and in an abandoned bunker, before Ste almost got you and your


    unborn child killed. Catelyn, I didn’t think that you’d have it so rough after leaving me.”


    Jamie stared intently at Catelyn before his long fingers reached out and stroked her thigh abruptly.


    Like a hedgehog intruded by an attack, Catelyn instantly tensed and backed away until she was over a


    meter away from him like she was avoiding a snake. “That’s my business, so please don’t pay me any


    mind. All I want to know is your rtionship with John Reed.”


    It was no coincidence that Jamie was here.


    Jamie grinned evilly like he was mocking Catelyn before taking out a loan contract from the drawer and


    mming it onto the desk.


    “This is the proof that your stepmother has borrowed one million from John Reed. We might not be


    engaged anymore, but we did date once. Just tell me who your man is, and I’ll consider giving you this


    contract.”


    Catelyn’s eyes lit up at the sight of the paper, but she scowled when she heard Jamie’s bargain.


    “What would it take for you to be convinced that I’ve been so upied with working and taking care of


    my kids that I have no time to date?”


    “Hah! You seem quite protective over him.”


    Unable to exin , Catelyn took out the envelope that contained a check from her purse and handed it to


    Jamie. “I have three hundred thousand in this envelope. Can you please just give me that contract? I can


    write you a new one that states that I owe you seven hundred thousand,” she offered gingerly.


    It would be safer to borrow Jamie’s money than to let the loan fall upon Ste’s


    shoulders. That way, they would not be threatened with being thrown into the ocean


    as shark bait.


    Jamie grinned evilly and snapped his fingers.


    Instantly, a waiter pushed through the door with a tray filled with different bottles of alcohol, including red


    wine, white wine, and all sorts of cocktails.
